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

    @virginmedia I dunno mate, that's why I tried to call you lot. You can't help, so don't worry about it. Another weekend without TV and internet, waiting for your engineer to turn up. Another complaint. Another refund.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Iv had my email account for 20 years + now with no issues till yesterday

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • fin_father Dave T (@fin_father) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

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

  • 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?

  • macauc01 Christina Macaulay (@macauc01) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia terrible service. You booked to install my equipment on 13th Dec 2023. Wrong year and no one will sort it out. Your fault entirely

  • NobbyD27 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

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

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia Cancel the contract and go to Sky

  • markccfc70 Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Been with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia my email has stopped working , inc web mail . Rest pass also fails . Is there any issues ? Was working yesterday.

  • Carl_E88 This is Carl🏳️‍🌈😺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍕 (@Carl_E88) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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.

  • 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 That's not going to help me reset my password.

  • 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?

  • amybubbles86 Miss Blondie 💫 (@amybubbles86) reported

    @virginmedia two days of trying to cancel my contract each time I reiterate it needs cancelling the communication stops on WhatsApp. I'm going to cancel the direct debit and send screenshots through the post to prove you guys are refusing to let me cancel

  • IknowNooothing I Know Nooothing 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇦Slava Ukraini (@IknowNooothing) reported

    Congratulations to @virginmedia for again showing examplary service (NOT). Another hour+ on the phone in a queue only for you to deliberately drop calls You charge ridiculous amounts for a service and then fail to even be good at it

  • ArcticFox1977 ArcticFox19779 (@ArcticFox1977) reported

    @virginmedia @jet2tweets I want a chance to win an engineer to come and solve my ongoing 2 month cabling issue.

  • EileenCraig71 Eileen Craig (@EileenCraig71) reported

    @virginmedia Really poor service. Been waiting for ten mins for a response from Charlene now. She asked a question and it’s gone quiet. Almost three hours of my time today on this.

  • JW_NUFC Jack Willis (@JW_NUFC) reported

    @virginmedia Contracts coming to an end, need to either renew with a new deal or cancel.

  • _lynsay Lynsay Campbell (@_lynsay) reported

    @virginmedia It has now changed again to tomorrow (24th) at noon!! Can you check what the problem actually is!? The estimated fix time has changed 4 times now. I need to work from home tomorrow and need my broadband. What happens with loss of service refund? Thanks.

  • SamMardle Sam Mardle (@SamMardle) reported

    @virginmedia why are you cutting me off after an hour and two minutes of waiting on the phone on hold? Happened twice now… looks like I’m not the only one. Cost of living and all that.. I thought you’d be wanting to help people?

  • ArcticFox1977 ArcticFox19779 (@ArcticFox1977) reported

    @virginmedia Not holding my breath. Heard yhis for 2 months and still waiting on feedback from my complaint at the beginning of May.

  • craigthehunter Craig (@craigthehunter) reported

    @virginmedia It says there's no issue, but there clearly is. That's twice its cut off in the past 45 minutes. It's really not acceptable.

  • williamwatp Wullie (@williamwatp) reported

    @virginmedia I recently upgraded and the Netflix code you gave me doesn't work. Can you please look into this?
