  • Thelansdownepub The Lansdowne (@Thelansdownepub) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Phoned @virginmedia to see what they can do about a payment holiday since we are forced to remain closed for the foreseeable and obviously not using any of our broadband services. They offered a discount of half a months bill. Wow. The worst company we have spoken to so far 😰

  • SammyHarrison89 Sam Harrison (@SammyHarrison89) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @disabledaver @virginmedia It’s absolutely awful. In and out of connection all day, everyday regardless of lockdown.

  • perks18 Roger Perks (@perks18) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Have upgraded the service and in theory should be able to run an official but I've been having problems with my router for weeks. It's not working properly and barely allows me to watch Netflix! I'm a critical worker and this isn't helping. Can't speak to anyone!!

  • Johnsbigsister Karen Murphy (@Johnsbigsister) reported from Barry, Wales

    @PeriPusher @RiannaSandu @virginmedia Listen idiot, if I pay for a service I expect to get it. If I don't I want my money back.

  • BigDogWrestler Big Dog (@BigDogWrestler) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Annabanana8008 @virginmedia @O2 Good luck to you and don't take any sh*t, you should be fully compensated for the absolute inconvenience. We had a little problem with our provider and they where excellent, understood the issue and before we asked they compensated us.

  • DebbieWharton Debbie Wharton (@DebbieWharton) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @WillHayCardiff @virginmedia Same here, it’s awful. We can’t get hold of them and the website complaints section isn’t much help either!

  • JonWillCap Jon Capistrano (@JonWillCap) reported from Penarth, Wales

    Virgin media went down because China is secretly building 6G towers accross the UK

  • BigDogWrestler Big Dog (@BigDogWrestler) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Annabanana8008 @virginmedia I feel for you, if @O2 and @virginmedia do merge, I'm leaving at the earliest opportunity. @virginmedia leave me a little cold and with no confidence as a customer.

    @RiotAngeI Ye virgin media’s been a ***** the last few days 🙈 they’ve released a statement saying that VM customers are using the internet more often than normal with everyone being home due to the lockdown that it’s having problems keeping up to speed, so not much they can do really 👎🏻🤣

  • Auriga__ Queequeg (@Auriga__) reported

    @thisisAlanTurk Virgin Media's connection has been up and down like @CoralDeVille's knickers all year - it's awful!

  • matthyland Matt Hyland (@matthyland) reported

    @virginmedia I have, and it still claims no issues. Other residents locally are having the same issue and looking at this twitter feed other customers are too. Support kept inviting its WiFi related and wouldn't look past it.
