    @richie_rich77 @virginmedia If it's just a WiFi issue and your LAN connection is OK maybe try a mesh system. Works great here with BT

    Absolutely shocking service from @virginmedia a 47% price increase for a customer of over 25 years and would rather lose a customer than give us a deal that new customers get. @BTCare @SkyHelpTeam can you do any better?

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

    @virginmedia A laughable statement in all honesty you're known for terrible service, demonstrated by the line "Package changes". Who said package changes? I have a TV package, I signed up for, have a contract for and have been using since June. It's disappeared your end, I have the docs.

  • MaartenSleeckx
    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".

    @virginmedia as a former TV customer, now just broadband, I want to reconnect a TV package. I already have 3 boxes in my house can they not be just reconnected instead of sending my out a box?

    Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Now I have a problem with the DNS not working. Called 150 and ended up with a text with a link to where I started. Really, really frustrating. Please help.

  • 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.

    Gareth Jones (@gazthebluebird1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I am unable to sign into my online account and trying to speak to anyone at your company its like trying to make contact with the moon, can you open up a DM conversation to help please?

    @virginmedia why am I still getting issues with your horrid internet? been almost 3 weeks and still no fix yet you're 'aware of the issues'

  • neilontour
    Neil Willett (@neilontour) reported

    @virginmedia i have tried that several times before , i am away until friday and if when i get home its still not working properly i will try again , it happened a couple of months ago and they sent an engineer out, but by the time he arrived the service was working properly

  • guygorillacity
    guygorilla (@guygorillacity) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Agree - worst company - taking more than fixed price contract stipulated from an old age pensioner.

  • Luv_Farmers
    Chrissie (@Luv_Farmers) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I'm surprised that an investigative journalist even accepted these conditions in the 1st place. VM has an awful reputation for this kind of behaviour which is widely known. Sorry this happened to you but it was to be expected

  • KelvinFavell
    BigK (@KelvinFavell) reported

    @virginmedia is there an issue sending out a 360 upgrade box? Told it takes up to 7 days. It is now 12.

  • kellyj70
    Kelly Turner (@kellyj70) reported

    @virginmedia I am going round in circles. I’ve DM’d you several times and NEVER get a reply. Terrible customer service.

  • swiveleyed24
    Swivel Eyed (@swiveleyed24) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I moved to community fibre a couple of years ago. Quarter the cost, faster Internet and better customer service.

  • rwfc236
    Howard Freeman (@rwfc236) reported

    @virginmedia Internet down again, TV Down last week, problems are happening too often to be comfortable, perhaps the time has come to review my provider, there are many companies who chase me, I have resisted so far, but these mounting issues are too much

  • stendec6

    @virginmedia @Benleo Of the 12 companies that Which review, you're the second worst.

  • Merse2506
    John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported

    @virginmedia After a week after transfer I still have no NETFLIX. They said 24 hours a week ago. I am a Kylie fanand have already missed promos and now going to miss the show promoted for the past few weeks. If i miss it i will never trust VM again.
