    @Spudsghost @EE The @virginmedia crapness is to do with their router I think it’s useless and can’t send the WiFi through paper thin plasterboard or handle the TV signal

  • katierobertson0 KatieRobertson (@katierobertson0) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia is there a problem with service? online service status says no issues in area but phone and internet all down?! Been a few hours now.

  • iestyntdavies Iestyn T Davies (@iestyntdavies) reported from Newport, Wales

    Can’t wait until our @virginmedia contract comes to an end the worst broadband product and with genuinely the worst customer service - avoid always

  • katierobertson0 KatieRobertson (@katierobertson0) reported from Barry, Wales

  • TheMMEvent Mike Anthony Moreno (@TheMMEvent) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    How awful is the @virginmedia advert, the one with the kids singing. Use auto tune next time

  • fayelsmithxo Faye Lauren Smith (@fayelsmithxo) reported from Liswerry, Wales

    @virginmedia wifi’s down yet again!!! don’t pay money for your broadband just for it to be shut down all the time!

    @matyd88 @virginmedia Not great service at all.

  • ItsLau_xo 🦋Laura 🦋 (@ItsLau_xo) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    So we pay over £100 a month for full @virginmedia package and fastest Internet going, but is it so so bad. It keeps cutting out all the time or going slow.

    @DafyddCCFC @BBCWalesNews @CardiffCityFC Virgin Media sticking fibre cables down mate

  • MHswans Mike Houghton (@MHswans) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Hey @bt_uk I’ve just had a call from a lady claiming to be BT Open Reach & there is a problem with my internet connection, I need to access my computer whilst on the phone with me to show me and fix the problem. As I’m with @virginmedia I’m guessing this is a scam. Am I right?

  • soozles_ Soozles 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@soozles_) reported from Barry, Wales

    @primevideouk has not worked through my @virginmedia TiVo box for weeks! So frustrating, is this problem going to be fixed anytime soon?

  • niamunna1 Nige (@niamunna1) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia If I dont have a response in 48 hours to my formal complaint made a month ago, I will be cancelling my service. Ref number is COM104057176.

  • BottleShopDan Daniel Williams (@BottleShopDan) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Also your text back thing doesn't work. Can't wait to take our business elsewhere

  • DarronKnibbs Darron Knibbs (@DarronKnibbs) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @virginmedia why have I been waiting over an hour for someone from your technical support to contact me on chat and chatting with your first line? #poorcustomerservice

  • niamunna1 Nige (@niamunna1) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia I'd rather you just responded to my complaint that I made 2 months ago.

  • katczeks K a t C z e k a j (@katczeks) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @tomsyb @virginmedia 4 days later...are you any further in resolving you issue? Regards, <KC

  • lfmortgages lisafletchermortgages (@lfmortgages) reported from Barry, Wales

    Terrible service from #virginmedia for 3 months+. Spent hours on the phone for the goalposts to be moved again. Apparently if you are residential customer intermittent service in a 24 hour period is acceptable, even if that is 10 minutes Bye bye 🖐🏻🖐🏻#bonvoyage

  • katierobertson0 KatieRobertson (@katierobertson0) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia Hi yes I am I just want to speak to someone to see if I need and engineer or if there is a problem in area seems impossible trying to speak to anyone. Thanks

  • KevKelly14 Kev K (@KevKelly14) reported

    @virginmedia Do you know I’ve been fighting this battle for years I’m pretty much exhausted now if you wanna help me out let me leave without a fee

  • Tr33fi77y Sean Widdowson (@Tr33fi77y) reported

    @virginmedia I’m sorry but this is a very lack lustre response. Will we get to find out why we were not told? Compensated not for the outage, but the lack of notification? This isn’t just me I am aware of numerous people affected on our estate for both outages who received no notification!

  • MeNyrbie Me (@MeNyrbie) reported

    @virginmedia super crap service. Havin issues since install date 5wks ago. Still not resolved. Being passed around depts as noone can give an update. Keep getting cut off. Disgraceful. @bt_uk do you have any deals?

  • 1andyfrost Andy frost (@1andyfrost) reported

    @virginmedia That's about ten calls in two months on average 40mins a call and no resolution, just emails and demands and potential unjust credit file due to your incompetence just as I am trying to remortgage

  • BeardbaroNUK Terence Baxendale (@BeardbaroNUK) reported

    @virginmedia Please advise what class the letters are sent as. Advised 28/06/21 been sent and still no letter. Coming on 2 weeks no service, months of bad service and no resolution to fraudulent account. No clear status of what my mums account is in & a bill with no notification or updates

  • rajgillwho Jed i Knight (@rajgillwho) reported

    @virginmedia Not with the team. I turned it off yesterday to reboot it. Then started have even more issues

  • olibennett Oliver Bennett (@olibennett) reported

    @tonymc39 @virginmedia I had a terrible time with @virginmedia whose breezy social media is entirely at odds with its venal pricing and inefficiency

  • DoctorAnneG Anne M Graham (@DoctorAnneG) reported

    Sorry #virginmedia you lose me after I have tried 3x to access the app by changing my forgotten password and it not working. Will be leaving for another provider
