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

    @virginmedia I have a TiVo box but my tv screen keeps pixelating. It is not restricted to 1 channel. I have turned the box off at the plug but it has made no difference. Can you help?

  • roseall87907765 rose allen (@roseall87907765) reported from Cathays, Wales

    @virginmedia You've just put our bills up again ! Virgin your outage has been the worst ever last 2 years !

  • andylance1977 andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia It works intermittently. This has been discussed over a series of phone calls through 12 months. A booster box has been sent too and its still poor. We're paying for a service we can't use when we want to. The TV box is next to the WiFi box downstairs & is still poor.

  • FindlayEquality Graham Findlay FRSA 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 (@FindlayEquality) reported from Cathays, Wales

    @rwilliams1947 @virginmedia It seems VM are also messing up landlines too. They now need to connect the phone cable to the Wi-Fi hub . Which means lots of trouble in my house and many other properties across the UK. And good luck with trying to discontinue their contract - they make it very difficult.

  • gareth_thmpsn 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?

  • AlMaManshp AM🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🐾🐈‍⬛🐈🐕‍🦺🐕🐓 (@AlMaManshp) reported from Beechwood, Wales

  • Cluchman1 Jambo🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Cluchman1) reported from Treforest, Wales

  • stuart_chc Stuart Ropke (@stuart_chc) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @eggynewydd @virginmedia Dismally slow. Yes.

  • GillibrandPeter Peter Gillibrand (@GillibrandPeter) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

  • msb1302 Michelle (@msb1302) reported from Treforest, Wales

    @virginmedia Nope still down and isn't just me in the area.

  • andylance1977 andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia why does it seem impossible to sort my TV and WiFi out? My partner has been phoning up on and off for a year or more about poor signal, not being able to use catch and apps and general poor service. Just get fobbed off.] Is this how you treat all customers?

  • GiantVeg Kevin Fortey (@GiantVeg) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @emmalunn @virginmedia Absolutely. Just had to improvise from a mobile phone with similarly shocking service too

  • unclewilco Andrew Wilcox 🛖 Shedified (@unclewilco) reported from Penarth, Wales

    Been lucky all day my #virginmedia has not been down at all, 5pm & it's down Pub? #VirginMediaoutage

  • thelee_x_w lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @virginmedia The image attached shows you have notified me of an issue

  • George66Steve Steve George🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales

    @virginmedia It's not intermittent, it's completely down in CF23.

  • gareth_thmpsn Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Your company is awful. I’ve called today waited 10min to the worst hold music only to be cut off. Call back to be told your closed now then state you are open between 9-6. Why are you deliberately obstructive?

  • George66Steve Steve George🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales

    @virginmedia And if it's 'some customers' it's an awful bloody lot of them!

  • amandaroberts10 amanda roberts (@amandaroberts10) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia is there a problem in the CF23 area ... no WiFi??

  • ChrisSwinglis Dr Chris Inglis (@ChrisSwinglis) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.

  • jonny_ex9 Jonny Ex 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇬🇷 (@jonny_ex9) reported from Cathays, Wales

    Imagine my shock that @virginmedia is down AGAIN. Please fix it

  • cthrowaway915 Charlie throwaway (@cthrowaway915) reported

    @virginmedia @Chris15here Other businesses keep their services running 24/7, and dont go down for hours on end

  • jamiewgrant Jamie Grant (@jamiewgrant) reported

    @virginmedia For the sake of convenience and not ruining the end of our customer/service provider relationship, can you not just release me from my contract now? So that I can make alternative arrangements with another supplier ahead of time?

  • kolokube Mark K (@kolokube) reported

    @virginmedia Oh... your CS team just ask me to wait as they are working on it. It is now 8 days since I discovered my incoming line is dead. I can't use online banking and have wasted many hours working around issue relating to being unable to receive incoming texts. I need it sorted today!

  • doubled1975 Double D (@doubled1975) reported

    @virginmedia @Mick_john_G Why are you not acknowledging the fact your telephone lines are down?

  • AndrewW41100173 Andrew Wright (@AndrewW41100173) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I never thought of that or maybe you could have helped as I gave you my name and postcode , it's always pushed forward by an hour to resolve now into day 4 what[s going on stil; getting 50 mins on with 20 mins off , any chance or some mobile data or local hotspot i can use.

  • Mick_john_G Michael Grady (@Mick_john_G) reported

    @virginmedia why when I ring your customer service number, it says number not recognised? It’s not acceptable the fact you can not get in touch when you have issues with Virgin broadband.

  • BeaRoberts20 Bea Roberts (@BeaRoberts20) reported

    @virginmedia Your call centre phone lines are down and people are unable to contact. Can you advise when they might be up and running please?

  • gregwm_ Greg (@gregwm_) reported

    @virginmedia why are your phone lines down?

  • skiamakhos @𝕾𝖐𝖎𝖆𝖒𝖆𝖐𝖍𝖔𝖘@𝖒𝖘𝖙𝖉𝖓.𝖘𝖔𝖈𝖎𝖆𝖑 (@skiamakhos) reported

    @virginmedia No, we're back up again but at the time, last night, your service checker was down too.

  • swingler_amanda Amanda Swingler (@swingler_amanda) reported

    @virginmedia Oh gosh. I was trying to avoid customer service but thanks.
