  @virginmedia terrible service. You booked to install my equipment on 13th Dec 2023. Wrong year and no one will sort it out. Your fault entirely

  Noga Fett (@darth_noga) reported 11 minutes ago from Barry, Wales

  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?

  @virginmedia I dunno mate, that's why I tried to call you lot. You can't help, so don't worry about it. Another weekend without TV and internet, waiting for your engineer to turn up. Another complaint. Another refund.

  @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 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?

  Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported 38 minutes ago 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!

  @virginmedia calling takes too long, always on hold for over an hour, and they never deal with the problem, the person on WhatsApp actually dealt with it which is why I was wanting to carry on using WhatsApp?!

  @virginmedia internet has gone down and the website is also down so can’t check if it is an issue in the area or not

  @virginmedia you SUCK, you have NO CUSTOMER service at all. Employ more staff and start to provide a service we are paying for RUBBISH SERVICE perhaps we need to move to @skytv !!!!

  Paul 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@paulo1927) reported 46 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @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?

• 
  Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported 48 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia Rather than patronise me just offer a good service snd get it sorted tomorrow.

  Peter Gillibrand (@GillibrandPeter) reported 49 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

• 
  Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported 49 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia My original package wasn't due to end until July 22. I've spoken to every department you have, over & over again...I go over the same old explanation with your people every single time & still, nobody in your company will help...I've spoken to over 3 managers & still nothing!!

  Imagine my shock that @virginmedia is down AGAIN. Please fix it

• 
  Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported 53 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia still waiting since 7.30 am for the engineer to come to sort out the problems we are having, he’s 25 minutes to get here ( we were given 7.30-13 slot) still no tv since Thursday!

• 
  Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported 57 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????

• 
  Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported 57 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia can you tell me what has gone wrong with your company!?!? I have been with you for years, without complaint but, since Dec 21, you change my contract, without my say-so & despite constant calls for 6 months, still nobody will take responsibility & sort it out!!! 😠😠

  Ryan Davenport (@Welsh_Saint14) reported 57 minutes ago 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

  Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported 58 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @syeporter180 @virginmedia I’m on virgin and it’s not that great Sye, I was going to sky before I renewed but had the same problem as you because I’d of had to wait months for BT to install a cable so just stuck to the devil I know in the end

  Rob Dew (@RobDew8) reported 3 minutes ago

  @spirit_evolving @virginmedia They are a shambles. I have had no internet since Sunday. 2 engineer appointments have not turned up, waiting in again today for engineer but not confident. Worst thing I did was move to Virgin !

• 
  Mark Sutherland * (@markenello) reported 3 minutes ago

  @BrianNicholso16 @virginmedia Their customer service is appalling, I've told them i am leaving and the date, which is my contract end date so they have sent me a bill for beyond that on out of contract fees

• 
  JFT97 (@Mr_ITellYah) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia The issue is it’s not the Tivo box. Also, recording series is not as straight forward like on the Tivo box. None of the features on it are particularly great. Tivo box is just all around better. 360 is a downgrade!

• 
  Ric M. (@revoraman) reported 9 minutes ago

  @Benleo Guess what, Ben. @Ofcom after making a complaint o them about @virginmedia inertia not to resolve a service paid for monthly, took the easy way out and copped out. 'Not in our ballpark'. Wonder who owns whom? A regulator not worth the paper it seems!

• 
  Andy Vanstan (@andyvanstan) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia what’s going on on with my internet please? Been down all morning. Managed to get through to a human at 07:45 was told outage in my area but it was being worked on & would be back in about an hour. It’s still down & can’t get through to anyone for an update

• 
  Wayne Dannatt (@wadannatt) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia instead of sending a text message stating that services will be fixed soon, how about giving a timeframe? My Internet has been out all day, you've just increased prices yet again, this is the second time in six months and last time it took you two days to fix it!

• 
  Carl Bateman (@CarlBateman) reported 21 minutes ago

  @virginmedia My landline has had no dial tone for over a month and my repeated attempts to talk to an representative have failed, there's no live chat option and your "fix your landline" page is a joke with only three options. And why no call back option? How can I get help?

  @FastCarr_72 @virginmedia Same issue

• 
  Diane Elebert-Morgan (@GMCC_Diane) reported 30 minutes ago

  @virginmedia loving the even further dial down of our broadband as we enter InTo the last few days of contract with you! You already turned it down after the first 8 weeks so we had to upgrade! We have never used you before and we will never use you again! Good riddance!

  @virginmedia @LutzSchueler We’ve been trying to have VM install fibre bb to our home after multiple postponements, numerous phone calls, raising 3 complaints, even emailing the CEO office(who haven’t responded) we are still waiting for the service to be installed.
