Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia With respect, your customer service advisors are useless. As is the technology for contacting them. As per my initial message.

The Media part..nothing has been done at all..no solution..just continual pestering to pay by debt collectors or cut service!

Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, WalesBeen with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.
-
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.
-
lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, WalesWord of warning avoid @virginmedia 4 wifi like the plague. I rarely get even 20% of advertised speeds & the CS team are next 2 useless. Paying 4 daily disappointment that upsets the kids. Will never go back 2 them ever. Worst service I ave ever received @EE was so much better
-
Moseph Mellars (@stfcjoner1986) reported from Cardiff, Wales@daisylnaughton @virginmedia Down for me too
-
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…!
-
MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales@virginmedia Screw you. Only me dying bothers anyone, literally anyone, it's always impossible to help me until people understand that I will kill myself. You're no better than them. See you in 2 weeks or not "AB".
-
🏴 Stuart 🏴 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales@virginmedia do you have issues in CF83 ? Our business broadband is down again.
-
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?!
-
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?
-
MH 🏴🏳️🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia @O2 Why is your Hotspot so poor? Never connects!
-

-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia hello I’ve supposedly been transferred to the Customer Relations messaging team on WhatsApp but have been waiting since 2pm yesterday for an agent to get back to me, how much longer can I be expected to wait? Thanks
-
MarcB (@555Husker) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia When will the website be fixed? It has been broken for weeks, ever since you “improved” it.

-
AndyB (@AndyBtheatre) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia Not disputing experiences with @virginmedia but we've been lucky; broadband was poor - upgrade FOC, don't use landline since it went VoIP - charge removed, cancelled TiVO - accepted my reasons, canx TV, upgrade BB, sent box to return set top - all went through no problems
-
Phil McCrachn (@PhilMcCrachn) reported@virginmedia terrible internet all week, speeds less than a 10th of what I'm "guaranteed". Seems this is happening to others as well.
-
Duckterwhoo (@duckterwhoo) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia Not had a single issue and been a customer for 10 years. And I get 1gb line which is full fiber no issues.
-
RednalNut (@RednalNut) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia If you have a good mobile signal consider a LTE router & buy a unlimited Data Sim. I left Virgin after 23 years for similar reasons as above. With EE & happy with the service.
-
Robin (@Blinkfan180) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia Terrible service. Internet would regularly drop at least once a day. Been on gigaclear and Internet has gone down twice in 10 months. Speeds comparable too. Also use sky stream. All good too.
-
@Oveja77777 (@oveja77777) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia Would it be worth trying to ring them? I find their customer service people are usually helpful. Use the 0335 454 1111 number, as I used another one in the past and it had really high charges. I ring them every year to stop them putting my direct debit up.
-
Chris Lander (@christophlander) reported@virginmedia Thanks for your faux sympathy, but its still not working. Terrible service. Is there a way to compensate for this?
-
Ewan McLachlan (@original1hanwoo) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia Ive been charged by @virginmedia for using a service after I left the property and cancelled everything. Their customer service are so inept that after multiple phone calls etc they still dont understand the situation and have passed the £500 pound charge onto debt collectors.
-
BriBiotech (@bribiotech) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia @richardbranson I was as pissed off as you but rather than take pain of dealing with them open the box damaged the innards reassembled and sent it to them. Would you believe it took me 36 hours of chasing them on WhatsApp to cancel the contract.
-
Anon frog poster (@WebBuildingFrog) reported@Simon_Coates @Simon_Whale @virginmedia I have the same. Only issue I've had with it is the cable was short by 1m so I had to order a longer one (third party much cheaper) Installed it all myself, whole village is impressed.
