    @virginmedia any chance of supporting existing customers, currently paying £32 a month but your offering new customers 25 a month. Helpline said nothing I can do as existing customer.

    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.

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

  • stfcjoner1986
    Moseph Mellars (@stfcjoner1986) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Hi @virginmedia can I please have some assistance? Thw WiFi keeps dropping out since yesterday. I am WFH so this is causing lots of problems. I have contacted you via live chat but I am getting no reply after answering sec questions. I am based in Splott, Cardiff.

  • gazthebluebird1
    Gareth Jones (@gazthebluebird1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I am unable to sign into my online account and trying to speak to anyone at your company its like trying to make contact with the moon, can you open up a DM conversation to help please?

  • 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.

  • thelee_x_w
    lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @virginmedia another day another WiFi outage. This really is the worst WiFi I've ever had. Legally as you are not providing the service as promised am I allowed to cancel the contract ? @CitizensAdvice

  • 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.

    Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia I’m on virgin and it’s not that great Sye, I was going to sky before I renewed but had the same problem as you because I’d of had to wait months for BT to install a cable so just stuck to the devil I know in the end

  • BackOnTrack__
    Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia still waiting since 7.30 am for the engineer to come to sort out the problems we are having, he’s 25 minutes to get here ( we were given 7.30-13 slot) still no tv since Thursday!

  • NobbyD27
    Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia Cancel the contract and go to Sky

  • GarethThwaite
    Gareth Thwaite (@GarethThwaite) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia can you please just admit you value new customers over 20yrs plus ones? @BT want to help a family out?

  • welsh1lad
    Rob Weaver (@welsh1lad) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia Define active, if you mean do I have Service’s no , do I still use my email account yes.

  • BackOnTrack__
    Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m fuming! We were lied to by their customer service , promised an engineer this an no one turned up now been told by customer service that we won’t have one until tomorrow #nithoodenough

  • 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.

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract, is there a phone number i can call as i got cut off last night?

  • gahunter1

    @virginmedia is there a fault in the SW20 area? When will it be resolved. Service Status page offline. Need Internet to WFH.

  • RajnishRazdan
    Rajnish Razdan (@RajnishRazdan) reported

    Christ on a bike @virginmedia over half an hour waiting on customer services only to have the line get cut. Seriously?

  • sbatte17
    Steven Batte (@sbatte17) reported

    @virginmedia Why can’t I message you? I messaged virginmedia Ireland by mistake. They arranged for a new sim and took my details before realising they couldn’t help me

  • jcassidy2
    James Cassidy (@jcassidy2) reported

    @virginmedia @Mr_Penguinator_ Why do you think it’s ok to tell a customer how they feel about your services….if they think it’s awful customer service then that their opinion…saying no it’s not awful is childish and not professional

  • radikalrak
    radikalrak (@radikalrak) reported

    @virginmedia Tried and nothing there. The problem is that the connection is dropping packets. So I can't use citrix, horizon or remote desktop if it keeps doing this.

  • Tonyhornet65
    Anthony Johnson (@Tonyhornet65) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 Why doesn’t somebody at Virgin just answer the questions in my previous tweet. How difficult is that? Easy for a company that actually cared about customers but impossible for Virgin who clearly don’t give a ****.

  • rc_maz
    MazRC (@rc_maz) reported

    @virginmedia I agreed a contract in Nov, you have charged me over double each month since. Called and complained more than 10 times. No resolution. Can I please have my money back? I am so tired of dealing with your call centres who promise everything but do nothing.

  • Mr_Penguinator_
    Stephen Whitmore (@Mr_Penguinator_) reported

    @virginmedia I stupidly decided to join your mobile network too... I can confirm, it truly is awful on both sides.

  • therealmecfs
    The Real M.E. 👩‍🦽🦥♿️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿📢 (@therealmecfs) reported

    @virginmedia We eventually did get the issue resolved but you can still expect a complaint because it has taken around 7 hours of phone calls over the course of a week to do something that should be relatively simple! It has been awful from start to finish.
