Ed Morris (@edmorrispt) reported from Cardiff, WalesWifi recommendations in Cardiff? @virginmedia is the absolute worst thing on earth & ruins working from home
-
Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@virginmedia Both those lights should be green. Any red lights mean there is a network fault either on a cable or on the box to which the cable screws into. Now please tell me, what is so difficult to send someone out to investigate that??
-
Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported from Beechwood, Wales@virginmedia I get your bills, that is how I realised as a loyal customer I am paying £40 plus a month for Internet access only. Fortunately for me and not for you BT Openreach have been installing fibre to home allowing me greater negotiating power as tou have no respect for loyalty.
-
MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales@virginmedia Clearly not as the issue keeps coming back after multiple engineer fixes outside AND in my home. You're lying through your teeth and leaving me in the dark literally. Stop hiding behind "standard business" replies, be human and help me.

andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, WalesProperly for the best part of a yr doesn't seem a problem to yourselves but your quite happy to take out monthly payment for a service we're paying for but you're not providing & seem to be in no hurry to provide it. Disgraceful service @virginmedia
-
Noga Fett (@darth_noga) reported from Barry, WalesAbsolutely shocking service from @virginmedia a 47% price increase for a customer of over 25 years and would rather lose a customer than give us a deal that new customers get. @BTCare @SkyHelpTeam can you do any better?
-
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?
-
LK (@LaurenKetchley) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia @garyketchley Yes was told a manager would call us and it never happened …
-
Mento5 (TAFKAB) (@Mento56) reported from Church Village, Wales@DwyKev @virginmedia Their appalling customer service was the one thing that made me decide to stick with Plusnet rather than switch to them, despite a very attractive offer.
-
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?!

-
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
-
Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales@syeporter180 @virginmedia I’m on virgin and it’s not that great Sye, I was going to sky before I renewed but had the same problem as you because I’d of had to wait months for BT to install a cable so just stuck to the devil I know in the end
-

-
Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, WalesAlleluia @virginmedia Just taken one month to have most issues resolved. Feedback: less silos in customer service so they can see all issues and be more helpful.

Sinead Nash (@nashs) reportedThank you @virginmedia for this well timed outage that means I’ll need to need to take my laptop on holiday 🙄🙄🙄
-
Paul Jones (@PaulFJonescom) reported@virginmedia are totally incompetent. Cancelled my service. Was told I will get a final bill and can ignore my current bill. Now have final bill and have a late payment charge for previous bill added. Cant get through on phone lines. Be wary when cancelling your services people!
-
Steve Kelly (@kellyokid) reported@virginmedia Hi, would appreciate some contact from you! Apparently I’m now out of contract and my price per month has doubled, no communication from you and I’ve only found out because one of my boxes has decided not to work as a result of broadband connection issues! Brilliant!
-
Still me (@Saqqara) reported@virginmedia friend in the LU5 area has just called and has no internet or phone, do you have problems in the area and if you do any timeframe on a fix?
-
Claire Branscombe (@DjClaireb) reported@virginmedia any reason why we have constant buffering issues on all HD channels at all? Primarily sky sports and More 4. Have checked our status and all good. Unable to watch the Hundred ticket today as it freezes
-
Chris Davis (@cdavo25) reported@MaxiedotVox @virginmedia Yea iv had issues for over a week now, they tell me 'o it will be fixed by the 23rd' 20min ago they text me saying they've found the issue and the engineer is on his way..... the 29th at 4pm 🤬🤬 where's the engineer coming from is it takes 6days @virginmedia
-
James Durrant (@je_durrant) reported@virginmedia I did that earlier today and your colleague confirmed nothing can be done until 17th August, over a month since this started. Now you’re saying it’s £1660 to exit a service I can’t even use. “Taking responsibility” and “monitoring” doesn’t solve my problem
-
Mark King (@markkinga) reportedIs @virginmedia in trouble?, as im trying to work out why i need 2 to 3 sales calls a day. I get a rubbish email once a week. Why not email something i might be interested in rather than constant phone calls im sure i never consented too.
-
Dirk Diggler (@dirkdiggler44) reported@virginmedia can’t log into my account.Rang customer service and their script doesn’t cover my problem. gets usual change password advise yet I can log on with my phone so nt a password issue. They have to escalate which takes 5-10 working days. No wonder Ofcom fine you millions

xSpeakEazy (@xSpeak_Eazy) reported@DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Damn I'm paying £63 for 1gig from VM.
