    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

    Oh, maybe not. Even though the website says no problem, there is a problem with the broadband round here 🙄 @virginmedia

    @virginmedia hello I’ve supposedly been transferred to the Customer Relations messaging team on WhatsApp but have been waiting since 2pm yesterday for an agent to get back to me, how much longer can I be expected to wait? Thanks

  • gareth_thmpsn
    Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia You really aren’t reading the messages, I’ve now told 3 different channels of my mothers death, I’ve called bereavement line to be hung up on, then closed early. I want a complaint raised, @Ofcom can you help?

  • 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?

  • andylance1977
    andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia It works intermittently. This has been discussed over a series of phone calls through 12 months. A booster box has been sent too and its still poor. We're paying for a service we can't use when we want to. The TV box is next to the WiFi box downstairs & is still poor.

  • RedhillsAnnie
    Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Now I have a problem with the DNS not working. Called 150 and ended up with a text with a link to where I started. Really, really frustrating. Please help.

  • 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)

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

    @virginmedia And now when I call you are "currently experiencing system problems" ridiculous

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

    @virginmedia calling takes too long, always on hold for over an hour, and they never deal with the problem, the person on WhatsApp actually dealt with it which is why I was wanting to carry on using WhatsApp?!

  • paulo1927
    Paul 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@paulo1927) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia as a former TV customer, now just broadband, I want to reconnect a TV package. I already have 3 boxes in my house can they not be just reconnected instead of sending my out a box?

  • MaartenSleeckx
    MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia Screw you. Only me dying bothers anyone, literally anyone, it's always impossible to help me until people understand that I will kill myself. You're no better than them. See you in 2 weeks or not "AB".

  • MarkAnstee2

    @paulatkinsonuk @virginmedia Virgin hubs are known for poor wifi signal the hub 4 aint much better i ended up getting an old home hub router and turning that into a wifi access point . Though if you do get a hub 4 beware of overheating along with virgin wifi boosters.

    @virginmedia Nope still down and isn't just me in the area.

    @virginmedia You've just put our bills up again ! Virgin your outage has been the worst ever last 2 years !

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • lou_dare

    @virginmedia we are having issues NP19 we’ve rebooted and checked wires.. been on and off now for few weeks. What’s going on please ??

  • ChrisSwinglis
    Dr Chris Inglis (@ChrisSwinglis) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.

  • lou_dare
    Louise Dare (@lou_dare) reported from Ringland, Wales

    @virginmedia any issues.. Np199gf ? No internet.. and yes I’ve checked everything 1st

    Brilliant news. The worst of the worst. Moved house, no virgin media at new property and they would not cancel the contract. @virginmedia never use these con artists.

  • discobiscuit900
    Disco Biscuit (@discobiscuit900) reported

    @Ofcom So you're gonna pay those customers for their troubles out of the 28 million? Of course not. Who knows what ******** you're gonna do with the millions, but we can be certain that the people that Virgin Media dicked get nothing.

  • DarktraceCm56u

    @Keiran_Mark @virginmedia Do you have any evidence 🧾or proof regarding your scammed issue??

    What’s it with UK 🇬🇧 Neobanks launching Mobile network business? Revolut Mobile: runs on the Vodafone network. Now Monzo Mobile is launching too and will run on the Virgin Media O2 network.

    @BBCNews This doesn't surprise me. Virgin Media treat their customers horrendously.

  • RadarHits
    Radar 🚨 (@RadarHits) reported

    🚨 JUST IN: Ofcom fines Virgin Media a record £28m for deliberately mishandling millions of customer calls and preventing contract cancellations between 2022 and 2024 through tactics including call-dropping and unnecessary transfers.

  • Prettyflyguy77
    Prettyflyguy (@Prettyflyguy77) reported

    @KaiGWatson Have a look at Cityfibre providers if your area has it. You'll get Virgin media speeds but with a much better reliable service.

  • S_Fleary1

    I have literally just left @virginmedia because of their poor service, constant internet outages and high bills. Let me know if we can claim compensation.

  • FrazzzYT
    Frazzz (@FrazzzYT) reported

    Internet is down for days in my area. Where do you claim compensation again? Cause the button for that is conveniently missing @virginmedia

    Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported

    The Government is asking its TDs to vote against a Sinn Féin proposal to begin preparations for a United Ireland. The bill, being debated in the Dáil this evening, would require the Government to establish a Citizens' Assembly on Irish unity. Ministers say the proposal is being rushed and that the issue requires a broader, more considered approach. More on Virgin Media PLAY. #VMNews
