  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia 🙄 isn’t that just a lazy way of doing tech support. When I worked for you going back a few years, we were very customer focused!!

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@cymboi) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia The Wi-fi is rubbish, slow and crap service up stairs. Often I have to connect to extenders. It’s a two story average house. Your routers are rubbish. The older ones were much better!!

  • emilyjane73 LauraT 🔶 (@emilyjane73) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Need to cancel my new order. It wasn’t done correctly and given the total lack of being able to contact you I have lost confidence in VM. Cannot contact anyone to cancel though, what a nightmare. Just taking too much of my time to make switching worthwhile. #painful

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @chloemphoto @virginmedia The laptop also works off mobile data sharing too so connectivity issues are good. Please sort out this mess because the router is needed to be working properly for laptop work to be done at home. Stop all this buck passing from one dept to another and help these guys PLEASE.

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@cymboi) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia your customer support is absolutely crap!! Spoke to Salim who was just as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle!!

  • Jones1Enfys Enfys Jones (@Jones1Enfys) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia customer contact centre, been hanging on the phone for an hour! Reporting scam, breach of data!!!

  • huwgat Huw Llewellyn (@huwgat) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Tried Virgin Community. Virgin rep encouraged me to take up tech package at a price. After spending 6hrs yesterday and 2hrs the day before, I am still in the same situation! This not a good service with your so-called experts!!!

  • 76DarrenJ Darren Jones (@76DarrenJ) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia what a ******* joke over 30 mins in a cue and then when I get through they say they can’t hear me and hang up 🤬🤬

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@cymboi) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m trying to connect to my own and it won’t! They’re the worst piece of equipment you e ever supplied. The previous one was better!

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @chloemphoto @virginmedia Even if the ethernet works, the WiFi issues are still there and you need it sorting. It's in the @virginmedia contract to ensure all equipment is working and functioning as it should. Faulty equipment should be replaced and remember, you're paying for the service.

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m still unable to get a decent Wi-fi signal at the back of the house.

  • PaulHunter1969 Paul Hunter (@PaulHunter1969) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia please can you DM me? I can’t get through to the help desk.

  • staceyjhubbard Stacey J Hubbard 🐧 (@staceyjhubbard) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia down again Cardiff, meant to have a lecture at 7, which isn't looking likely

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @chloemphoto @virginmedia If it connects to other WiFi networks from the same source ie @virginmedia then the problem is within your router itself and not any device connected to it. Your router is faulty and needs replacing. You said yourself that the router is faulty and goes offline if even moved.

  • huwgat Huw Llewellyn (@huwgat) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Thank you Virgin Media for being absolutely useless sorting my email problem. 8 hours in total on the phone with so called tech experts and still doesn’t work properly!!!🤬🤬🤬

  • katejones_cymru Kate Jones (@katejones_cymru) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Hello. I’m waiting for the service to be reconnected, any chance this can be sped up as I’m wfh and need wifi ASAP

  • James76clark James Clark (@James76clark) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Having text the number you gave me, they referred me back to the technical phone number as they cannot help! So, let’s get back on the phone for the 3rd hour, in the hope I don’t get cut off, again! #shambles

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @chloemphoto @virginmedia I'm a customer of yours 👍 and I can categorically prove that the laptop is 100% working correctly using 'my' Virgin Media WiFi connection with no issues. There's an issue with @chloemphoto's router which isn't getting resolved and the easiest solution is to replace it asap.

  • James76clark James Clark (@James76clark) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Trying to get through to @virginmedia for an hour, only to then be cut off once being transferred! Poor show! Desperate to speak to someone as we have had our cables cut by resurfacing works!! 😡😡

  • meribelman Peter Williams (@meribelman) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia I would happily self serve online, via a browser or app, as you incessantly encourage me to do, but when the page says “oops something went wrong, we’re unable to change your package online”, its very frustrating. @O2 will help you soon!

  • HarmanAlexander Alex Harman (@HarmanAlexander) reported

    @virginmedia hello, we're unable to find out how to contact you about issues with our router. Your support pages are leading us in circles and the "contact us" link sends us back to the support home page.

  • nessalove71 Nessisbest (@nessalove71) reported

    @virginmedia we’ve had no internet for almost a week , booked an appointment for an engineer to come fix it , told if we didn’t attend we’d have to pay £25! Well they didn’t turn up to fix it , so do we get the £25 , not good enough at all

  • Dannyj771 Dannyj77 (@Dannyj771) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I need help from support with my internet/Broadband

  • djmdulwich David Miller (@djmdulwich) reported

    @virginmedia Second, there’s a message on the sales line asking to call back during ‘operational hours’. But no clue when they are - am I supposed to guess? This is hopeless! I am trying to become a new customer - why do you make it so difficult

  • SCL411 SCL411 (@SCL411) reported

    @virginmedia broadband issues in KT12 area again. Hub keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. Speeds appalling. So glad @BoxBroadband are almost done with their rollout in my area. Will be jumping ship after 14 years with Virgin as soon as their service goes live.

  • Tony84849354 Tony (@Tony84849354) reported

    @virginmedia internet has been slow past couple days in the B33 area. what's going on ? when will it be fixed ? are you going to compensate for loss of work since i can't do it without reliable internet ? fix your sh1t fgs

  • KarenWh66016596 Karen Wheeler (@KarenWh66016596) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely disgusted with the service. Breach of contract, break of GDPR and nobody to take ownership after over 5 hours on the phone to your contact centres. 5 days service has resulted in you increasing my contract without authorisation from myself! Sort it out!

  • benjamin1_page Ben Page (@benjamin1_page) reported

    @isobelrutt @virginmedia Hi. You may find you have been cut off by Virgin media and transferred to an IP phone. God help us if we require contacting the emergency services during a power cut.

  • SlimNasty2013 Slim Gaming (@SlimNasty2013) reported

    Please @RishiSunak when @virginmedia start's crying for a government bailout, please don't they are the WORST company of 2023 IMO and do not deserve support from the tax payers who they've fleeced for years!

  • benjamin1_page Ben Page (@benjamin1_page) reported

    @SCL411 @virginmedia @BoxBroadband Likewise cannot wait till TOOB complete installation in Southampton totally appalling service from Virgin
