  • Munchiemon The Devil (@Munchiemon) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes. Please can you look into the Internet in NP10. It cuts out constantly and isn't the service I'm paying for.

  • RichardPlatts1 Richard Platts (@RichardPlatts1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia why after 3 days of attempting contact to resolve an issue do you see fit to disconnect my call prior to resolution? Your website assistance is not equipped to deal with this.

  • _bethancottrell Bethan (@_bethancottrell) reported from Pontypridd, Wales

    @virginmedia are services down currently? My router is flashing green symbols - I’ve been on the phone to you and have tried resetting but no luck...

    @virginmedia are there any broadband issue in CF63 area? Status showing no issues but I’ve had problems all day

  • Munchiemon The Devil (@Munchiemon) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia any issues in NP10? For the past two days my Internet has been cutting out every few minutes, making WFH and virtual conferencing absolutely appalling/unfeasible.

  • rancid_insane rancid insane 🤪 (@rancid_insane) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia Still having issues 😪 Its hopefully getting fixed Monday but would really like to speak to your complaints department

  • Munchiemon The Devil (@Munchiemon) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes, but it only takes around 30 seconds and says there is no issue.

  • AdamLee2011 Adam Lee (@AdamLee2011) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia why is the ufc ppv not working?

  • bairdyblues Bairdy 💙 (@bairdyblues) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @Gazman1927 @cardiffstu Virgin Media have recently installed cable around here and have been pestering me to sign up. Think I'll stick with Plusnet who have excellent customer service.

  • HanneRuthHall Hannah Hall (@HanneRuthHall) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia wow your customer services aren't geared up for this at all are they? Almost a year on in virtual service, no phone service, only web chat. It took from 2pm yesterday to 9am today to get a response from customer services who couldn't help anyhow! Bang goes retention!

  • lou_dare Louise Dare (@lou_dare) reported from Ringland, Wales

    @virginmedia Husband can’t sign in off PC... any issues ??

  • StrombolyS Manu (@StrombolyS) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Hi, please could you give us a hand? We are having daily problems with internet provided by you. Today it’s even worse than normal. We have important training online tomorrow and we need to have good broadband. We don’t want to go to another company but to work

  • shawsy26 Shawsy-mufc (@shawsy26) reported from Alway, Wales

  • honeybunch1973 Emma Parker (@honeybunch1973) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried phoning twice and got cut off and I’m now waiting on what’s app chat regarding this. I did the cancellation with agent on what’s app on 12 Jan and they asked if I wanted to cancel from 20 feb when contract ends. It’s been put through incorrectly.

  • clement_palle clementp (@clement_palle) reported

    @virginmedia Are you getting my point ? How will an Engineer solve an issue at my flat if this is an area issue ? Our neighbours internet is down as well for 8 days.Have you looked into our fault reference before tweeting ?

  • lucyrosem Lucy Mitchell (@lucyrosem) reported

    @virginmedia I’m currently paying to get ZERO broadband in my home, I’ve spent hours on a call to your support team being passed between about 8 different people. Still no broadband in my house. Yet I’m told I can’t make a complaint?! I would appreciate a response asap.

  • honeybunch1973 Emma Parker (@honeybunch1973) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia sorry I did not see this. I have got cut off twice on phone and am now currently waiting for an agent on what’s app. I would appreciate a resolution. I clearly asked for 20 feb and that’s what email states as disconnection date.

  • AdrianEvanKirk Adrian Kirk #RemoveRanil #ReplaceRanil 💙💛 (@AdrianEvanKirk) reported

    @Sarah_Hants @virginmedia Get another person in the same house apply to Virgin as a new customer. Our costs went down when switched to my wife from me

  • clement_palle clementp (@clement_palle) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia @LutzSchueler - it’s 16:37 and we still don’t have internet. I spoke to your Retention Dept. and Ahmed Waseem ( his manager Kieren) refused to give me a ref# , he was rude and disconnected the call when I asked him the rationale behind sending an Engineer to my flat

  • QL2006 Socials 🇧🇧🇬🇧 (@QL2006) reported

    @angiedredlox @virginmedia Showing great service again @virginmedia NOT!!!

  • PedalTrill Amanda Forsyth 🇺🇦 💙 (@PedalTrill) reported

    @virginmedia That is precisely what I did which has caused the problem. When I removed the blueyonder account and set it up, the associated calendar disappeared and is nowhere to be found - have checked deleted items.

  • mollycaff Sandra Morris 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦 (@mollycaff) reported

    @virginmedia My father is deaf and has dementia, from what I can gather they are sales calls, although he has trouble understanding their accents. I’m just waiting for them to call while I’m there, to ask them to leave my parents alone.

  • leemathewbrooks Lee Brooks (@leemathewbrooks) reported

    @virginmedia Received no help and I've now advised I want my account cancelling, so you've lost a customer of 13 years because your call center customer service is shocking.
