    @virginmedia is there a problem with service? online service status says no issues in area but phone and internet all down?! Been a few hours now.

  • iestyntdavies Iestyn T Davies (@iestyntdavies) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Spudsghost @EE The @virginmedia crapness is to do with their router I think it’s useless and can’t send the WiFi through paper thin plasterboard or handle the TV signal

  • robkbangor Rob Knowles (@robkbangor) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia we would like to cancel our contract with you but your website is sending us round in circles and it’s impossible to get through to your call centre. You’re taking advantage of the lockdown to rip people off!! 🤬

  • iestyntdavies Iestyn T Davies (@iestyntdavies) reported from Newport, Wales

    Can’t wait until our @virginmedia contract comes to an end the worst broadband product and with genuinely the worst customer service - avoid always

  • lfmortgages lisafletchermortgages (@lfmortgages) reported from Barry, Wales

    Terrible service from #virginmedia for 3 months+. Spent hours on the phone for the goalposts to be moved again. Apparently if you are residential customer intermittent service in a 24 hour period is acceptable, even if that is 10 minutes Bye bye 🖐🏻🖐🏻#bonvoyage

  • leeweb79 Lee Webster (@leeweb79) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @DafyddCCFC @BBCWalesNews @CardiffCityFC Virgin Media sticking fibre cables down mate

  • niamunna1 Nige (@niamunna1) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Nyge_79 @virginmedia Same here. Abysmal service. I'm often in a Zoom with 40 other people and I'm the only one who drops out.

  • PentwynP Pentwyn & Llanedeyrn Pickers (@PentwynP) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia @WeAreOpenreach @cardiffcouncil @LornaLwyl @Keep_Wales_Tidy I believe this particular one is openreach, just highlighting this is an issue with both companies. One volunteer has previously written to virgin media posting spent wiring with the letters, but this issue it seems is not being addressed adequately across the whole of the UK

  • KitaW Kita Williams (@KitaW) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia No. And we have called so many time and reset the box. Had 3 new computers from work so the issue is you! My broadband is frankly ****!
