-
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.
-
MH 🏴🏳️🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from St. Julians, Wales@virginmedia @Dionne96310374 We weren’t offered that when ours went down
-

-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Can I just ask why it is that you can respond within minutes on social media (where the public can see your actions) but then in private you are ignoring your customers and taking three weeks to deal with issues? If you have agents manning twitter why can’t you pick up the phone?
-
Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia you absolutely SUCK! Sick to death of the poor service you are providing. No TV at all and having to wait 3 days fir a technician and yet you will still charge us, I’m FUMING!
-
Graham Findlay FRSA 🏴🇪🇺 (@FindlayEquality) reported from Cathays, Wales@rwilliams1947 @virginmedia It seems VM are also messing up landlines too. They now need to connect the phone cable to the Wi-Fi hub . Which means lots of trouble in my house and many other properties across the UK. And good luck with trying to discontinue their contract - they make it very difficult.

Steve George🏴 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales@virginmedia It's not intermittent, it's completely down in CF23.
-
Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, WalesBeen 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.
-
Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, WalesUpgrading to gigabit broadband meant getting a new router from VirginMedia, so took the opportunity to tidy up and remove old cabling and extension leads. Didn't realise just how much unused crap I still had plugged in/taking up space
-
Steve George🏴 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales@virginmedia And if it's 'some customers' it's an awful bloody lot of them!
-
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.
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@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
-
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
-
Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I do not want to be with you any more because you are doing my head in!!!! You have turned from being a very good company with good service to being the most disgusting people I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with!!!
-
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
-
squeaks (@dodo1960) reported from Cardiff, WalesIt would be easier to get blood out of a stone that get password help from #virginmedia
-
andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia is it normal practice when a call is made to you about problems with the tivo box (3rd time this year) that you're then on a call for over an hr at at the end of it promised an upgrade, go thro all the protocols only to be told actually you can't have that

Shaun Key (@SKEY2011) reported@virginmedia So your going to give us a discount next month then as I’m paying for a service that I’m not getting, no internet no tv no World Cup, !!!!! Get it sorted!!
-
Symbolism™ (@SymbolismTM) reported@Stsantek @virginmedia all these companies are at it. Mobile phone companies, insurance companies, etc. Customer loyalty used to be rewarded. Now they try to exploit us. Pure greed.
-
Robbie 🌷 (@robbieg15_) reportedInternet has gone down twice in the past 24 hours. Time to fine Virgin Media £23m again imo.
-
AstralPunk (@astral_punk) reported@MichelleBeckett As a long standing @virginmedia customer, I can confirm that they are number 1 for utterly abysmal customer service in every regard.
-
b (@ihavejordans) reported@BobbyMan747 @Virgin Personally i was thinking of making the switch to Virgin Media, but the last couple of weeks i have been hearing a lot of this. I thought they had sorted out their issues, but it appears they haven't.
-
entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported@jackbremer @virginmedia I've been with them longer than that and, TBF, they've been good on the whole. However, the mark of a decent company, I feel, is how they handle problems...and @virginmedia were found totally wanting in my case. I hope for your sake you never have a serious problem with them 🤞🤞
-
Jenny B (@Myfourjoys) reported@virginmedia I’m not happy with yr internet service. Every day this week there has been a loss to my service and this is happening weekly. There has been times when I’ve thought it’s an outage! NO SERVICE NOW SORT IT OUT PLEASE 😡
-
L.J.C. (@cheesepudding3) reported@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Yep Virgin Media and the TV licence people - they are awful.
-
ItsLiterallyChloe (@LiterallyChloe_) reportedI’ve had more issues with @toobbroadband in 3 months, than I had with @virginmedia in 5 years. 🙃 Regretting the move 😭
-
Vicky (@CityVicks) reported@virginmedia my internet keeps cutting out. And has just gone again. It’s the 4th time this week, and it wipes out all my smart devices. What is going on? It’s unacceptable how poor this service is
