  • 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?

  • 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.

  • H7WEJ 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.

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

    @virginmedia Had issues this morning, but seem ok now.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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 🙈

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

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

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

    @adamburgessevan @virginmedia They are absolutely TERRIBLE at customer service

  • 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.

  • emmalouise_ions Emma Ions (@emmalouise_ions) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @Nett13y @virginmedia Hi. No never spoke to anyone. Gone to BT.

  • KenDaniels9 Ken Daniels (@KenDaniels9) reported from Cardiff, Wales

  • 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?

  • emmalouise_ions Emma Ions (@emmalouise_ions) reported from Cardiff, Wales

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

  • 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!

  • jonthompenfarm 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?

    @virginmedia what absolutely rubbish customer service you have and I've only been connected 48hours! Worse than the company I've cancelled with, I'm within the 30 day cool off period so will be cancelling ASAP!!!!!!

  • samdix1985 Sam Dixon (@samdix1985) reported

    @virginmedia How are you going to fix it so I don’t cancel it?

  • CarrieGriffiths Carrie (@CarrieGriffiths) reported

    @virginmedia oh surprise surprise I receive an email reply to my complaint I sent over a week ago and was supposed to be aknowlegded within 24-48hrs advising to continue to wait for a response .... 5 and a half weeks and still no further forward. Absolute disgraceful service

  • jonnyflaps jd (@jonnyflaps) reported

    Absolutely disgusted @virginmedia, tried to help my vulnerable elderly neighbour who has no phone service, no Internet and no TV to get through to your helpline, spent 2 hours and had to give up as she got so upset. You should be ashamed.

  • basiluss Basil Abdunnur✌ (@basiluss) reported

    @virginmedia We have been waiting for you to connect the Internet to our home for 3 months. 3 months! We sent all the problems to your teams by explaining them with photos. But there is no result! The person who came to solve the problem said that nobody told me about this prblm

  • DomCostigan Dom Costigan (@DomCostigan) reported

    @VirginMediaIE I’ve changed address three weeks ago and have been ringing every day to cancel my subscription for TV and Broadband as I am still paying for it but after holding for approx an hour at a time I keep getting cut off. How are we meant to cancel it? #joke #virginmedia

  • coldplay_sarah Sarah J (@coldplay_sarah) reported

    @virginmedia I need you to make contact with me about cancelling the installation for my elderly parent. Ref WS7332847. Can't get thru on phone / email or DM on here. You cancelled the installation last week. I want to cancel altogether.

  • Juggoire Dean Marshall (@Juggoire) reported

    @virginmedia No - still massive lag spikes - now it's a 'known issue' for this area and you're working on it. I have echoes of 5 years ago when I had to cancel due to 18 months of this and it never being fixed.

  • snoopsaj aj snoop (@snoopsaj) reported

  • ThePact7 The Pact (@ThePact7) reported

    @virginmedia Over 3 hours wasted on the phone. Broken promises and awful customer service. No thanks, will go somewhere i get what i pay for. Not expected to pay you more money to fix it. Absolutely disgusted with your company
