    @virginmedia intermittent connection fault on broadband for almost 36 hours...its farcical and so annoying not being able to use a service for which I'm paying. How long does it take engineers to fix this fault? Was told the fix would occur this morning but alas! #Help

  • ILSdiva
    Sarah Hills (@ILSdiva) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia my internet is inexplicably not working. Any issues in Penarth, Wales?

    Jason Howe (@H7WEJ) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    Let's hope @virginmedia broadband service is better than their pavement relaying skills. Disruption and mess all over Caerphilly.

  • LukeBCornish
    Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Only from customers hypothesising what the issue is... appreciate the help but not going to resolve anything.

  • LukeBCornish
    Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia pls can you help? Website and app help doesn't address the technical issues and don't provide way to contact you. Phoned 150, automated system said it would update & restart TV. Nothing happened. Can't watch recorded programmes since 12th Oct. Frustrating!

    JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Hello, raised a complaint yesterday at 11:00am, told I’d get a call back within 24 hours - no call, so what’s the next exhausting step?

  • cherylockerby
    cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia After having broadband and tv issues for a month now was told there would be an automatic credit on my bill but nothing is showing. Can you look at this for me please?

  • TheRealNigsy
    Nigsy (@TheRealNigsy) reported from Newport, Wales

    Anybody else lost there #VirginMedia internet services, getting stupid now as I'm loosing money not being able to work... @virginmedia

  • LukeBCornish
    Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Okay I'll keep paying you for something that doesn't work and wait for another customer to advise how to resolve the issue... or if I'm really lucky a moderator might get in touch... 👌 Is there an SLA?

  • catrin_davies1
    catrin davies (@catrin_davies1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Contract with @virginmedia is expiring up £20 p/m. Great Black Friday deal for new customers. Won’t match it. Told if sign up in my name as new customer (currently in partner’s name) they’ll offer it-great but still want £35 one off fee for equipment -we have equipment here 🙈

  • jonthompenfarm
    JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Anyone looking for truly appalling customer service? With terrible communications? Try one of the UK’s leading comms company @virginmedia - great example of how to truly undervalue customers with poor and dismissive service #poor #CustomerExperience #CustomerService

  • jonthompenfarm
    JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia right - how on earth do you actually speak to someone in your team? If I have issues with my broadband, it’s not exactly practical to advise me to head to your website! Any options on how to speak to someone?

  • jonthompenfarm
    JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia You can, I assume this is potentially an agency who is managing their social media accounts. So you can kindly pass these on to a manager from the complaints team please. This is beyond poor customer service!

  • andyedwards34
    andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia is there anybody in your customer services department today?

  • LukeBCornish
    Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia @virginmedia come on guys... I've done what you asked. Still no response. Trying to resolve this issue since 12th Oct.

  • emmalouise_ions

    @Nett13y @virginmedia It’s always internet we’ve had a issue with TV has been fine. Shocking service.

  • LukeBCornish
    Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Last pt... a helpful member of the community just advised me to text a random mobile number for help. May be innocent but I have no idea if that is a @virginmedia number ... feels a little suspicious / could be a scam? Hope the moderators track these types of things too.

    @virginmedia I upgrade to v5 router but now need Wi-Fi pods resetting but I need to give serial numbers of pods but a) these are long details b) your call quality from 150 is crap and difficult for either to hear… I tried using WhatsApp comms but no tech available! Any ideas??

    @Virgin took £115 out of my account at the beginning of the month yet they cut me off. I’ve sent proof of my bank statement saying they have took it yet they are saying it hasn’t been paid. No one can put me in touch with anyone who can help me @virginmedia your a joke
