    @AndyDerricott @virginmedia If you're looking for some help from @virginmedia, good luck! Their customer support is non-existant.

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

    @virginmedia Yes it seems to go down at random times throughout the day usually late morning and during the evening

  • julianevans11 Julian Evans (@julianevans11) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia The complaint is with VIRGIN not BT! They have stopped it their end but Virgin still need to cancel this. Do you know your job????

  • bert33uk bert33uk (@bert33uk) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bluebirdchapo @WezTucker @virginmedia Don’t try Bt worst in the world for internet I’ve had it twice when I moved. Internet wouldn’t pull your hat off absolute shite they actually gave me compensation. plus all these newish companies offering great deals are shite as they all use Bt lines.

  • dmitchell1975 Dan Mitchell (@dmitchell1975) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia problems all day with BB. Have rung twice, been cut off when call was transferring. Working from home is challenging today!!

  • 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!! 😡😡

  • davidtoliver David Oliver (@davidtoliver) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia What’s your customer service telephone number? Can’t find one anywhere. Don’t want a “Message Bot” - I want a human to sort out our problem. Wife’s a GP trying to provide patient care from home -can’t because of broadband problems. Don’t tell me to reset the router!!

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

    @virginmedia That status page states there are no issues, the issues are apparently the walls in my house and my neighbours electrics even though it's been fine for the last 18 months

  • andyg81 Andy Golds (@andyg81) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve hung up because you can’t hear them due to noise but it’s a known issue ! Very very poor once again

  • MaartenSleeckx 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.

  • MaartenSleeckx MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported

    @virginmedia Well, you wouldn't because you haven't shown any care for my existing, long-standing problem. You're also not qualified for it likely, so instead, I will wait for the engineer you're sending in about 2 weeks and hope I don't kill myself by then. We'll take it from there. Bye.

  • JNH77 James Harrison (@JNH77) reported

    @virginmedia I rang them 14 times yesterday (while working) and haven’t been able to speak to a manager. The line quality of your offshore call centres is horrific. Managers are too busy to discuss my issue. I have zero appetite to ring or engage with VM further. Cancelling my direct debit

  • leodis74 YorkshireWolf (@leodis74) reported

    @virginmedia I shouldn't have to call up and waste another 30 mins plus of my time. I've already called and get nowhere with your customer teams I would appreciate a DM and someone making more of an effort. You have illegally taken money without giving me chance to hand equipment back.

  • carolinesgreen Caroline Green (@carolinesgreen) reported

    @virginmedia I had 1.5 hour call with nice lady who discovered original engineer never authorised our router. But that didn’t solve it. Another engineer coming today. Third time lucky, perhaps!!! So..3 trips, 4 hours on the phone, many hours wait and many without services. Bad look, Virgin.

  • mrstrowsdale Rosie Trowsdale (@mrstrowsdale) reported

    @virginmedia They want to CHARGE me for a new remote! I don’t think so! Less than 2 months old and it stops working. Nothing but issues since joining virgin. What a complete con

  • jofamilugba jof (@jofamilugba) reported

    @virginmedia What sort of issues are you having that is taking forever to fix. I depend on internet to work and for few days now, I have not been able to work. What is the real issue?

  • MaartenSleeckx MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported

    @virginmedia The fact the engineers keep coming back over and over again would suggest there is an issue they are unable to handle or repair. If you have been advised of an outage, by a consumer, who diligently explained the issue isn't new you should pay more attention to what he said. Me.

  • andyg81 Andy Golds (@andyg81) reported

    @virginmedia I have done that no issues showing
