  • darth_noga Darth Noga (@darth_noga) reported from Barry, Wales

  • Welsh_Saint14 Ryan Davenport (@Welsh_Saint14) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia having a problem with my daughters phone contract but can't get through on the phone lines to resolve this problem

  • tomgriffiths88 Tom Griffiths (@tomgriffiths88) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia broadband down again. For improvements apparently. No notification or prior warnings. Losing a days work. Great!

  • honeys_ Claire Louise (@honeys_) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia my Wi-Fi has just gone off and within seconds your app is telling me there is a fault and the estimated fix is 3pm. Something tells me this is a planned outage. Why are you not communicating with customers who are relying on your service to work at home.

  • EmmaEvans95 Emma Evans (@EmmaEvans95) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Ok, the IVR said that there is a outage in my area and that it should be working by 4pm, what time do your customer service lines close?

  • FrankieJ4m3s Francesca James (@FrankieJ4m3s) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    The worst service ever from @virginmedia - been trying to cancel my account since March. I do appreciate problems with lockdown etc but we’re almost in October! Nobody at all seems to want to take responsibility - passed from pillar to post!

  • iainmspillane anfänglichinteressantesaberunterwältigendeslied (@iainmspillane) reported from Grangetown Community, Wales

    @virginmedia Any broadband issues in CF11? My router just went down and is restarting with no signal for the last 15 minutes.

  • TweetterRoss Ross Maisey (@TweetterRoss) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @virginmedia What a ridiculous company. You install Virgin in my street ruining all the pavements and drives. But also damage my car I was told it would be sorted a month ago and I’m still waiting. I’m livid and want it sorted!!

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • satanicmerwitch Zenobia (@satanicmerwitch) reported

    @virginmedia Our issue has now been resolved by another person from your customer service and has filed a complaint for us too, "Chris" was very unprofessional and is giving Virgin a bad name though.

  • joanne_heyworth Joanne Heyworth (@joanne_heyworth) reported

    @virginmedia disappointed to discover that after a change of contract to Maxit TV package we have lost the kids channels, when this was not disclosed. We asked for confirmation that we would not loose anything, and here we go, a very disappointed 3 year old. Complaint letter sent

  • sh0110b8995 Stephen Honeyman (@sh0110b8995) reported from Kirkcaldy, Scotland

    @virginmedia hello I'm trying to sort out my new upgrade as I have problems with it. The customer service is closed when can I get help?

  • badassshaw Wayne Westlake-Shaw (@badassshaw) reported

    @virginmedia Great service don't answer after 2 hours on phone then watsapp chat

  • carlclare Viscount Jonkeer. 2d6 trash panda (@carlclare) reported

    @virginmedia It's now reporting issues, so let's see.

  • mattydhatton Matty Hatton (@mattydhatton) reported

    @crofty2010_g @virginmedia Just been cut off by two of the rudest customer service agents here too. Explained my wired WiFi booster blew up and flames were coming out of it and they tried to sell me a SIM card instead

  • waheed04 Waheed Mahmood (@waheed04) reported

    @virginmedia How am I supposed to do that? You app is dodgy just like the rest of the service. Do you want me to ask my neighbours? This started when a gang of your workmen turned up in numerous vans and opened cabinets up.

  • RichardN7 Richard (@RichardN7) reported

    @ScottishLass73 @virginmedia Right. Is the problem you're not reaching 1gig speeds, as that's extremely unlikely on wifi. You'd need a wired ethernet connection to test it properly.

  • engaged19x Defenestration of Prada (@engaged19x) reported

    This is great. @virginmedia has had our internet connection down for a day, blew past when they said it would be fixed, now saying another day of outage. What the hell do I pay for if my internet won’t work during exam season?

  • mhoney1234 Producer (@mhoney1234) reported

    @crofty2010_g @virginmedia Been on the 1.1GB package with @virginmedia for two weeks, had an engineer out and still only getting 250mb despite having 400+ when on the M600. Scam of a service. Try to call to cancel account and closed despite website saying open until 10pm
