  • MissAzzaB Ariane (@MissAzzaB) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Anybody else in Cardiff have reeeeeally slow and inconsistent internet these last couple of weeks? Trying to do anything involving the wifi - work or streaming - is so painful! @virginmedia #Cardiff

  • behnazakhgar Behnaz (@behnazakhgar) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I am trying to terminate the account. Its for my dad's house and need it done before the 3rd of March.

  • Dazc090861 Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.

  • damianKerlin damian Kerlin 🏳️‍🌈 (@damianKerlin) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes, and it is a different issue every time. How, in a capital city, is this happening everyday, with your engineers unable to do anything to improve the situation. …and what about that refund, as we are paying for internet which we are not getting?

  • blue_murdock Ritch Zablan (@blue_murdock) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia … is there network cover problem here cardiff now?

  • SATempest Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????

  • djleekee Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.

  • mantha_1976 Sam Sims (@mantha_1976) reported from Newport, Wales

    hey @virginmedia I have a contract that says my price is set to Jan 2023 and I negotiated the deal with customer retention as not the account holder bit authorised to talk on behalf of the account holder and now I've got customer services flat out lying toe on WhatsApp (1)

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

    @virginmedia My wife is currently on the phone to your customer service regarding this matter so hopefully it'll be resolved this evening, if not then a web chat from 4pm would be the best time for me

  • fredljones_ Fred Jones (@fredljones_) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia online chat not working, on hold for hours and not responding on WhatsApp?! How do I get hold of you to cancel my service ffs...

  • philscully 𝗣S. (@philscully) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia But im asking what would be different to the other times where ive just wasted hours of my day for nothing to change? We have called numerous times only to be told there is no problem or to reset. No other assitance is ever offered

  • Samanth82113398 Samantha (@Samanth82113398) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Hi can someone help me I'm trying to log in to my account but keeps saying there's a problem at your end

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @virginmedia On hard wired, approx 250mbs out of 350mbs. It’s a hub 4 with new connectors added and bits of cable, but again I’m having to call support to see why our intellipods aren’t working.

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

    @virginmedia So myself or my wife has to spend our working day trying to get through to ypu just to be fobbed off to different departments and get no where 🙄🙄 customer service skills at best

  • SATempest Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia But the team is impossible to contact!!! And when you do get in contact it’s always someone else’s problem, ‘oh I’ll just pass you onto my colleague’ etc. I’ve WhatsApped the help number too and been told it’s a long wait and told I can ‘get on with [my] day’ - absolute joke.

  • Dazc090861 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!!! 😠😠

  • mpgf1973 Mark (@mpgf1973) reported

    @virginmedia why is your customer service/WhatsApp support so poor. Am stuck in a never ending infinity loop waiting for someone to confirm a contract change

  • coolnavnit Navnit Punj (@coolnavnit) reported

    @virginmedia While speed issue is sorted for now, I don't quite understand how you've arrived at the bill amount for next month, following my speed upgrade. Can you please explain? I've sent an email for the same.

  • rphalst Rob Halstead (@rphalst) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia you still haven’t connected my broadband (waiting since Sept 21). You also haven’t responded to the complaint I made in Nov 21 (C-261121750). Can anyone get back to me??

  • lopinto1976 show me the sunshine 🌞☀️😘 (@lopinto1976) reported

    @primevideouk Why does my Amazon prime account not allowing me to play films and saying - Your device is connected to the Internet using a VPN or proxy service. Please disable it and try again, my ISP is Virgin media and i have no VPN software on my computers or a VPN router in my house?

  • r_huskins RH (@r_huskins) reported

    @virginmedia Over the weekend something changed, now I get constant lag while gaming. It's happened before and it was an issue for a lot of people around AL3. Broadband is not working properly, please help.

  • cazzybobx caroline dawkins (@cazzybobx) reported

    @virginmedia I spoke to someone this morning as my bill will be going up by £8.50, they said to me "oh well that's life"!! shocking. I have been a customer for as long as I can remember.

  • Ipunchedalion Chris Hollands (@Ipunchedalion) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, and it’s beyond ridiculous now. A manager just hung up on me too. How do i cancel my contract? I can’t continue to do business with a company who lies to me every single time I contact them and penalises me for following their bad advice. VM are the absolute worst

  • johnmor65111412 john morgan (@johnmor65111412) reported

    @virginmedia As you are aware, stated in the previous conversations which you clearly are not paying any attention... I'm am experiencing problems with both wire & wireless. Clearly not paying any attention to your customers what so ever #Useless #sorttheproblem #shitvirginmedia
