    @virginmedia I have an issue with some of my emails being returned undelivered and saying they are spam. This is causing me an issue. Can you help?

  • markccfc70
    Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Been 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.

    Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m fuming! We were lied to by their customer service , promised an engineer this an no one turned up now been told by customer service that we won’t have one until tomorrow #nithoodenough

    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?

    @virginmedia can you please just admit you value new customers over 20yrs plus ones? @BT want to help a family out?

    Anyone suffering internet outage from @virginmedia ??

  • damianKerlin
    damian Kerlin 🏳️‍🌈 (@damianKerlin) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes, and it is a different issue every time. How, in a capital city, is this happening everyday, with your engineers unable to do anything to improve the situation. …and what about that refund, as we are paying for internet which we are not getting?

  • benj8min
    Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Another day in the life of a @virginmedia customer. TV showing fault. Ran online diagnostics, didn't fix. Site says to call. Call. Go through menu, TV, fault... sends me a text with a link to online diagnostics, says "thanks for calling" and hangs up. Worst. Company. Ever.

  • SewScandalous
    Katieeeeeeeeeeeee 👻 (@SewScandalous) reported from Newport, Wales

    Oh, maybe not. Even though the website says no problem, there is a problem with the broadband round here 🙄 @virginmedia

  • 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…!

  • SteveMowat4
    Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @bristolbluegas @virginmedia @HiveHelper If someone could own a problem it would help. The engineer that came out today said, I just install hubs mate, I’m not authorised to lift man hole covers. Virgin told me yesterday this would be their “priority technician” that could fix everything. What a joke

    @paulatkinsonuk @virginmedia Virgin hubs are known for poor wifi signal the hub 4 aint much better i ended up getting an old home hub router and turning that into a wifi access point . Though if you do get a hub 4 beware of overheating along with virgin wifi boosters.

    @virginmedia And now when I call you are "currently experiencing system problems" ridiculous

  • Welsh_Saint14
    Ryan Davenport (@Welsh_Saint14) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia My wife is currently on the phone to your customer service regarding this matter so hopefully it'll be resolved this evening, if not then a web chat from 4pm would be the best time for me

  • 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.

    @seanhg72 @virginmedia I’d be fuming as I use my phone as an alarm and it’s nearby incase of family emergency.

    @virginmedia inc movies & sport & 1gb broadband all for a lady who has never used either and only sends the odd email . We have just spent another evening waiting another missed call and still no response to an email we sent a couple weeks ago . This is all causing her distress .

  • Javier_Cold_
    Mr. Cold (@Javier_Cold_) reported

    @virginmedia JAJAJAJAJA that must be a joke. In the complaint, your colleagues said they will train the staff better HAHAHA Train better to make it less noticeable. It is a shame how @virginmedia went from a great supplier to a pathetic one.

  • keengrower

    @CVB1866 @virginmedia Good luck with this, their customer service is pretty crap.

  • AndyP1982
    Andrew Parmenter (@AndyP1982) reported

    @EE why can a new customer get a deal £10 a month cheaper than someone who has been a customer for nearly 5 years? Where is the customer loyalty? I’ve now signed up to @virginmedia #customerlost #customergained

  • boomhellsbells
    Hells Bells (@boomhellsbells) reported

    @virginmedia experiencing outage of broadband since yesterday afternoon, it stated fix by 4.07am then moved to 4.07pm today! Working from home with no internet means now on my on second day of not being able to work 😖 you must know what is wrong!! Not just “there’s an issue”

    @SilvesterLuke @virginmedia Stop pestering me jesus that's about ten messages.. I cant ******* fix it

  • QuanTuM_kL
    K (@QuanTuM_kL) reported

    @JJMootts @virginmedia I don't get why everyone moans, been with them for nearly 20 years and might have had 3 issues, it's almost never down, the internet speeds are far beyond what any other provider can do, although the others may have finally caught up, for years it wasn't close.

  • shauny67
    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @QxPain_ @virginmedia Turn off router, turn off all devices connected via WiFi turn on router & bring up each device at a time & check WiFi & distance then will find which device is causing the issue. A router only has a certain distance will need a pod if drops out due to distance

  • abz_06
    Abbie (@abz_06) reported

    @virginmedia You could send someone to Mars and back in the time it’s taking you to fix this. What issue could be so big that takes two whole weeks to fix? You’re a billion pound company. Not good enough.
