    Internet not working, virgin media service status page not working @virginmedia shall I assume it's not fricking working and it might be repaired this century

    @virginmedia internet has gone down and the website is also down so can’t check if it is an issue in the area or not

  • djleekee
    Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia Cancel the contract and go to Sky

  • mantha_1976

    hey @virginmedia I have a contract that says my price is set to Jan 2023 and I negotiated the deal with customer retention as not the account holder bit authorised to talk on behalf of the account holder and now I've got customer services flat out lying toe on WhatsApp (1)

    @paulatkinsonuk @virginmedia Virgin hubs are known for poor wifi signal the hub 4 aint much better i ended up getting an old home hub router and turning that into a wifi access point . Though if you do get a hub 4 beware of overheating along with virgin wifi boosters.

    @virginmedia You've just put our bills up again ! Virgin your outage has been the worst ever last 2 years !

  • andylance1977
    andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    Properly for the best part of a yr doesn't seem a problem to yourselves but your quite happy to take out monthly payment for a service we're paying for but you're not providing & seem to be in no hurry to provide it. Disgraceful service @virginmedia

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????

  • Mento56
    Mento5 (TAFKAB) (@Mento56) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @DwyKev @virginmedia Their appalling customer service was the one thing that made me decide to stick with Plusnet rather than switch to them, despite a very attractive offer.

  • gareth_thmpsn
    Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia You really aren’t reading the messages, I’ve now told 3 different channels of my mothers death, I’ve called bereavement line to be hung up on, then closed early. I want a complaint raised, @Ofcom can you help?

  • welshcuriosity
    Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Upgrading to gigabit broadband meant getting a new router from VirginMedia, so took the opportunity to tidy up and remove old cabling and extension leads. Didn't realise just how much unused crap I still had plugged in/taking up space

  • MsWhippet1
    Trudi Foster (@MsWhippet1) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.

    @virginmedia do you have issues in CF83 ? Our business broadband is down again.

  • FindlayEquality
    Graham Findlay FRSA 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 (@FindlayEquality) reported from Cathays, Wales

    @rwilliams1947 @virginmedia It seems VM are also messing up landlines too. They now need to connect the phone cable to the Wi-Fi hub . Which means lots of trouble in my house and many other properties across the UK. And good luck with trying to discontinue their contract - they make it very difficult.

  • benj8min
    Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia It doesn't. No changes made. I had major problems setting this up, it went through someone in your complaints department and they had to do something manual to set the package I was on up. Clearly, even they are incapable. I've had TV for a few months, then it's just gone off.

    It would be easier to get blood out of a stone that get password help from #virginmedia

  • benj8min
    Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia With respect, your customer service advisors are useless. As is the technology for contacting them. As per my initial message. Last time I went through this I was booked a chat appointment by your twitter team with someone who specifically handled the complaint.

    @thewson72 @virginmedia Great when on. So much faster than anyone else. But useless service when it’s down.

    @virginmedia Here we go again. No TV service and the service webpage is down……sighs…..

    @virginmedia I realise that could of been without your control but they are still available on sky so I should of gone with sky obviously never mind I found movie channels I didn’t even realise I had as they were below the already greyed out ones that were paid for channels

  • Borochubster
    Al Murray Jnr🔴 (@Borochubster) reported

    @MartinSLewis Virgin media have a call back team. You actually have to cancel your contract, then they call you back within 2 weeks and that's when you get the best deals.
