    Word of warning avoid @virginmedia 4 wifi like the plague. I rarely get even 20% of advertised speeds & the CS team are next 2 useless. Paying 4 daily disappointment that upsets the kids. Will never go back 2 them ever. Worst service I ave ever received @EE was so much better

    Peter Gillibrand (@GillibrandPeter) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

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

    @virginmedia A laughable statement in all honesty you're known for terrible service, demonstrated by the line "Package changes". Who said package changes? I have a TV package, I signed up for, have a contract for and have been using since June. It's disappeared your end, I have the docs.

    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia can you tell me what has gone wrong with your company!?!? I have been with you for years, without complaint but, since Dec 21, you change my contract, without my say-so & despite constant calls for 6 months, still nobody will take responsibility & sort it out!!! 😠😠

    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

    Another day in the life of a @virginmedia customer. TV showing fault. Ran online diagnostics, didn't fix. Site says to call. Call. Go through menu, TV, fault... sends me a text with a link to online diagnostics, says "thanks for calling" and hangs up. Worst. Company. Ever.

    @virginmedia I have a TiVo box but my tv screen keeps pixelating. It is not restricted to 1 channel. I have turned the box off at the plug but it has made no difference. Can you help?

  • LiamHiggins5
    Liam Higgins (@LiamHiggins5) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia @MartinSLewis honestly think you should help put more pressure on broadband providers. The fact this person has been without broadband for several weeks and can't leave without paying a exit fee is ridiculous.

  • jobber_phil
    Philip Cross (@jobber_phil) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia so you had no internet for 7 weeks you say, speak to a solicitor because they have broken the contract and you should not have to pay.

  • cschmeer
    Christian Schmeer (@cschmeer) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you, but unfortunately there’s no alternative placement as the next power socket would be through a wall and 10 meters down the hallway, which might help with the overheating, but is a weird spot as all my network connections run to the cupboard by the entrance.

  • LaraMitchard
    Lara Mitchard (@LaraMitchard) reported

    @virginmedia There seems to be a broadband issue in HP1 as I have no services and your outage page has identified an issue. Any idea how long this will be down?

  • MsDavenport4
    Ms.Davenport (@MsDavenport4) reported

    @VirginMediaIE just receiving Server error when trying to login to watch virgin media play. Any ideas? Is server down?

  • oldpoyntz
    MrsM 💙 (@oldpoyntz) reported

    @PeterBakerMcfc @virginmedia Internet is back now. No one touched anything and it goes off. Moving to Community Fibre once this contract is up. I can't keep having these issues & paying through the nose. At least we'll be able to rotate through the apps as and when needed.

  • adamtracey8
    Adam Tracey (@adamtracey8) reported

    @virginmedia @scoobiesue82 Tried everything you have recommended @virginmedia and still have the issue. It is only with Big Bang Theory on TLC channel 128. Can we get an update on this

  • graeme1878
    Graeme (@graeme1878) reported

    @virginmedia are you willing to just let a customer of 9 years go so easily like that or was it half arsed by your staff member that all he could do was the most basic and not even try and get my partner to stay with yourselves.

  • Justine_Sains
    Juss33 (@Justine_Sains) reported

    @virginmedia can you check service in NE28 please and fix times. Internet and television.

  • mec337
    mec337 (@mec337) reported

    @virginmedia you are swapping from Analog to Digital phone service. Can you guarantee T38 fax protocol will work as before? and yes fax machines are still used.
