-
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.

Ryan Davenport (@Welsh_Saint14) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia So myself or my wife has to spend our working day trying to get through to ypu just to be fobbed off to different departments and get no where 🙄🙄 customer service skills at best
-
Katieeeeeeeeeeeee 👻 (@SewScandalous) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia Imagine being a customer service agent and not having a clue how to do your job hahaha! 🙄
-
Mento5 (TAFKAB) (@Mento56) reported from Church Village, Wales@DwyKev @virginmedia Their appalling customer service was the one thing that made me decide to stick with Plusnet rather than switch to them, despite a very attractive offer.
-
Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales@syeporter180 @virginmedia Cancel the contract and go to Sky

Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Firstly a refund of £351 for the Mobile part of the Oomph bundle as it was stopped a couple of months after starting the contract..still not paid to me! The Media part..nothing has been done at all..no solution..just continual pestering to pay by debt collectors or cut service!

-
𝗣S. (@philscully) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia But im asking what would be different to the other times where ive just wasted hours of my day for nothing to change? We have called numerous times only to be told there is no problem or to reset. No other assitance is ever offered
-
Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@virginmedia Both those lights should be green. Any red lights mean there is a network fault either on a cable or on the box to which the cable screws into. Now please tell me, what is so difficult to send someone out to investigate that??
-
Ariane (@MissAzzaB) reported from Cardiff, WalesAnybody else in Cardiff have reeeeeally slow and inconsistent internet these last couple of weeks? Trying to do anything involving the wifi - work or streaming - is so painful! @virginmedia #Cardiff
-
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?
-
Katieeeeeeeeeeeee 👻 (@SewScandalous) reported from Newport, WalesOh, looks like @virginmedia have disconnected my service 7 days before they were meant to 🙄 Absolute rubbish.
-
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
-
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.
-
Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, WalesUpgrading to gigabit broadband meant getting a new router from VirginMedia, so took the opportunity to tidy up and remove old cabling and extension leads. Didn't realise just how much unused crap I still had plugged in/taking up space
-
Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Rather than patronise me just offer a good service snd get it sorted tomorrow.
-
Mark (@MarkAnstee2) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@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.

Samantha (@Samanth82113398) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Hi can someone help me I'm trying to log in to my account but keeps saying there's a problem at your end
-
Graham Findlay FRSA 🏴🇪🇺 (@FindlayEquality) reported from Cathays, Wales@rwilliams1947 @virginmedia It seems VM are also messing up landlines too. They now need to connect the phone cable to the Wi-Fi hub . Which means lots of trouble in my house and many other properties across the UK. And good luck with trying to discontinue their contract - they make it very difficult.
-
Brody (@brodyanderson_) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Yeah have already called. Reports no service issues in my location despite online reporting intermittent issues this morning. Ability to book an engineer has disappeared. Help appreciated - now over 24h without connection

-
Jessica Simpson 😺🐶🐾 (@Jess_Simpson645) reported@virginmedia thank you for offering help via a DM, but you have sent me quite a lot of the exact same messages now - only one was needed. I have already told you that one of your engineers is coming out tomorrow to check everything is okay and get everything working properly. At this point I will only need to contact you if the engineers visit isn’t successful.
-
Peter Miller (@PeteinExeter) reported@virginmedia absolutely disgusting that we have no tv or broadband until tomorrow afternoon. I can’t wait to move house so we never have to use you again !!
-
John Bull (@54JohnBull) reported@DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt It's a stupid system where every time you have to threaten to cancel, and eventually even that becomes a waste of time.
-
K (@Kieranbcfc2) reported@christyboy87 @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia All I’ve seen on here is people thinking we’re blaming the ref. Like no we know we’re shite, but the ref also was. Wasn’t the reason we lost but we can still say he was bad.
-
Top Cat (@SpinCat1) reported@nel_andrie @virginmedia You’re right. A communications company that has a huge problem communicating!! 🤬
-
Top Cat (@SpinCat1) reported@virginmedia I understand that by 5pm today, your customer’s issues and concerns had still not been addressed properly. I’m told that your original resolution was to knock 54p per month off the payments. No emails after that point have been properly answered.
-
Scott Ivell (@scott_ivell) reported@virginmedia Hi. We have no phone service at home. Service status shows no issues. when i call home from mobile says 'not been possible to connect you' so it's not our handsets - can you diagnose please
-
Dr Brian O'Connor (@boconnorchest) reported@Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia I can understand ungracious losers, but being ungracious winners is bizarre. I was beginning to like NZ rugby; now we are back to the one-eyed arrogance of the spear-tackle era. Colin Meads & Ken Catchpole incident will forever be a stain on Kiwi rugby. SA v NZ, who to support?
