  • perkie7 Claire Perks (@perkie7) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia totally disappointed and frustrated with service. Paying over £60 per month for WiFi only for it to be buffering for weeks. Husband key worker, needs constant Wifi access. Yet unable to contact virgin. Service zero.

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    My neighbour has the same issues. @virginmedia

  • perks18 Roger Perks (@perks18) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Have upgraded the service and in theory should be able to run an official but I've been having problems with my router for weeks. It's not working properly and barely allows me to watch Netflix! I'm a critical worker and this isn't helping. Can't speak to anyone!!

  • Thelansdownepub The Lansdowne (@Thelansdownepub) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Phoned @virginmedia to see what they can do about a payment holiday since we are forced to remain closed for the foreseeable and obviously not using any of our broadband services. They offered a discount of half a months bill. Wow. The worst company we have spoken to so far 😰

  • SammyHarrison89 Sam Harrison (@SammyHarrison89) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @disabledaver @virginmedia It’s absolutely awful. In and out of connection all day, everyday regardless of lockdown.

  • JonWillCap Jon Capistrano (@JonWillCap) reported from Penarth, Wales

    Virgin media went down because China is secretly building 6G towers accross the UK

  • josh_wats09123 Joshua Watson (@josh_wats09123) reported from Dinas Powys, Wales

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @TwitterSupport This account @VIRGINMEDIA is making out it's @virginmedia and causing a **** up. Do the right thing and laser beam their house. 👍 You have my permission.

  • Johnsbigsister Karen Murphy (@Johnsbigsister) reported from Barry, Wales

    @PeriPusher @RiannaSandu @virginmedia Listen idiot, if I pay for a service I expect to get it. If I don't I want my money back.

  • reddevil1975 Leanne Everest ❤💛❤ (@reddevil1975) reported from Barry, Wales

    Here we go again another night #virginmedia decides to go down, I've lost count how many times now typical when it's about the only thing keeping us sane in lockdown!!! 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

  • BigDogWrestler Big Dog (@BigDogWrestler) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Annabanana8008 @virginmedia @O2 Good luck to you and don't take any sh*t, you should be fully compensated for the absolute inconvenience. We had a little problem with our provider and they where excellent, understood the issue and before we asked they compensated us.

  • perkie7 Claire Perks (@perkie7) reported from Cardiff, Wales

  • BigDogWrestler Big Dog (@BigDogWrestler) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Annabanana8008 @virginmedia I feel for you, if @O2 and @virginmedia do merge, I'm leaving at the earliest opportunity. @virginmedia leave me a little cold and with no confidence as a customer.

  • BenLloyd91 Ben Lloyd 🔰 (@BenLloyd91) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @RiotAngeI Ye virgin media’s been a ***** the last few days 🙈 they’ve released a statement saying that VM customers are using the internet more often than normal with everyone being home due to the lockdown that it’s having problems keeping up to speed, so not much they can do really 👎🏻🤣

  • nickgriffith4 nick griffith (@nickgriffith4) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia 1/2 Hi, it’s not the price increase that’s the issue. It the barriers in place to make discussing options to avoid the price increase. Phone lines impossible to get through to someone. When you get through they try to upsell you. When you continue to challenge

  • snudge2256 Snudge (@snudge2256) reported

    @virginmedia Internet down for the third time tonight and sixth time this week 🙄🙄🙄

  • biltongeater A (@biltongeater) reported

    @virginmedia @ofcom my services received by virgin media are crap. I’m paying top dollar for “fibre optic super shizzle” and it’s crap. And their demanding an increase for rapidly diminishing services. @Ofcom please can you investigate virgin? Thank you

  • TalkingTooMush Mush 💫 (@TalkingTooMush) reported

    So @virginmedia I was promised a call back ‘within 2 hours’ about your persistent internet problems over 2 weeks ago. Problems I’ve had for months. I was told there were engineering works, then it was a bandwidth issue. Everything expect giving me the speeds I pay for.

  • adelwire graham littler (@adelwire) reported

    @WhichMoney @virginmedia Complaint is regarding spending approx 5 hours over the weekend waiting to talk to humans at @virginmedia Think 4 actual conversations in 5 hours!!! Is that really customer service??? Several times after pressing 1 etc, it said we're busy, use email. End of call.

  • JohnGallanders John Gallanders (@JohnGallanders) reported

    @virginmedia Servuce outage is intermittent and even when you go on the checker when it is not working shows no problems. Re the mobile had no problem when on EE for signal yet Virgin use same network. Yes spoken tech 3 occasions no solutions

  • Courtsxcx Courtnie (@Courtsxcx) reported

    @virginmedia Was let down multiple times with install, had to go elsewhere to get internet in time to go back to work, was promised £50 cheque as compensation but told it could take 45 days, no cheque, 1hr15 mins on phone chasing it to be told I wouldn’t be getting one.

  • TheLawless Dan Lawless ⚒ #GSBOUT (@TheLawless) reported

    @TalkingTooMush @virginmedia Been having obgoing connection problems as well need them to fix it and lower my bill

  • nickgriffith4 nick griffith (@nickgriffith4) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia It’s extremely poor customer service, and bullying tactics. There will be thousands who don’t question/or give up trying - and end up being charged considerably more for the same. They should not be able to behave like this.

  • steve_stavrou Steve Stavrou (@steve_stavrou) reported
