Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported from Beechwood, Wales@virginmedia I get your bills, that is how I realised as a loyal customer I am paying £40 plus a month for Internet access only. Fortunately for me and not for you BT Openreach have been installing fibre to home allowing me greater negotiating power as tou have no respect for loyalty.

-
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
-
Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Your company is awful. I’ve called today waited 10min to the worst hold music only to be cut off. Call back to be told your closed now then state you are open between 9-6. Why are you deliberately obstructive?
-
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
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@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?!
-
Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.
-
Steve George🏴 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales@virginmedia It's not intermittent, it's completely down in CF23.
-
Noga Fett (@darth_noga) reported from Barry, WalesAbsolutely 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?
-
Katieeeeeeeeeeeee 👻 (@SewScandalous) reported from Newport, WalesOh, maybe not. Even though the website says no problem, there is a problem with the broadband round here 🙄 @virginmedia
-
Michelle (@msb1302) reported from Treforest, Wales@virginmedia Nope still down and isn't just me in the area.
-
Moseph Mellars (@stfcjoner1986) reported from Cardiff, Wales@daisylnaughton @virginmedia Down for me too
-
Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia You really aren’t reading the messages, I’ve now told 3 different channels of my mothers death, I’ve called bereavement line to be hung up on, then closed early. I want a complaint raised, @Ofcom can you help?
-
Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia With respect, your customer service advisors are useless. As is the technology for contacting them. As per my initial message. Last time I went through this I was booked a chat appointment by your twitter team with someone who specifically handled the complaint.
-
Gareth Thwaite (@GarethThwaite) reported from Barry, Wales@virginmedia can you please just admit you value new customers over 20yrs plus ones? @BT want to help a family out?

Alex DM || ⭐ || (@Xoman08) reported@PitRucker99 @Starlink The UK is not that bad. Spain is much worse. People pay €49 / month for internet. The problem in the UK is lack of "physical options" but it is getting better: 1. Virgin Media (cable) 2. BT - Telephone lines - ADSL - Fiber optic 3. Three - 5G modem 4. Starlink
