    Virgin media are an absolute disgrace, talk about poor customer service. My wife has been over 50mins on the phone just trying to sort out a new hub as we upgrade to the box last month, got sold a new package and then best thing is the hub is to old to run what we need.

    @virginmedia I pay £40 a month JUST for WiFi!!!! it’s horrendous. Slow, can’t handle streaming a simple Amazon Prime video, and I’m getting charged DOUBLE what I paid originally a few years back! I’ll be phoning to leave Monday morning, £40 is terrible, let alone for poor service

    @virginmedia anyone thinking of getting their Wi-fi, think again. We’ve been with the now since NTL days and this HUB 3.0 has been the worst!! Not as good as the make out. The router is in a good position not hidden away yet it’s still crap!!

    Ashxox (@_eeelhsa) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia We’ve tried three times to raise a complaint with you. And this magical game appeared after the second complaint (the same day) to which the man on the phone was rude, spoke over me and implied my business wasn’t needed or respected at all.

  • iantosh4
    Ian McIntosh (@iantosh4) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia Very frustrating as seem to just go around in circles with the same issues! Could you arrange for someone to call 2mo to discuss and resolve please (Save me calling and waiting again)

    Tories: “A Government run internet service will be really slow and unreliable with constant outages.” Virgin Media: “Hold my beer!”

  • SilverwoodVS
    Dr Victoria Silverwood (@SilverwoodVS) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @JackoGaz @virginmedia It’s down over the whole city. I broke it out of sheer frustration watching that drivel and spent the third period cooking vegetables rather than continue watching. That’s how serious it was 🥬🥒🥕🥦

  • DesignFourTweet
    Dylan Lewis (@DesignFourTweet) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Passed the street green box with doors totally open and no engineers today and thought this is not good. Sure enough it’s not #VirginMedia and #BT tv totally down #Cardiff 😡

  • kristianbrimble
    Kristian Brimble (@kristianbrimble) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    After calling Linksys, it was 45 mins on the phone with @virginmedia with the agent arguing with me that they can’t help with my hub if it’s in modem mode only for them to pass it on to someone else who changes a setting and asks me to reset. 30 wait for results now.

    @virginmedia Yeah did that and I get a massive total of 27mps. Which is ****. You cannot deliver what you promise. I’m currently on the phone for the 10th time today speaking to your ‘technicians’ to get no where more than likely

  • Malriel

    @virginmedia We are a charity and desperately need access to email our members. My email stopped working on Monday and my husband’s on Friday. Our Charity supports families with badly damaged children. It is essential I am available to support them. Please help

    @virginmedia hello, please can I be advised of next steps regarding loss of service on certain channels. I have flagged this multiple times on here and have heard nothing back regarding compensation or resolution.

    @virginmedia Just been on the phone to your team who have told us we’ve ordered 6 separate “adult movies” across 2 different days a week apart… we’re writing a formal complaint because that just hasn’t happened

  • Malriel
    Marie Lyon (@Malriel) reported

    @virginmedia How do I post on the options as the phone contact is struggling to help. Is there a complaint process I can use to raise this issue

  • Mewiimew
    Heather Bain (@Mewiimew) reported

    @virginmedia @simonha08675244 Having similar issues. Definitely something wrong at @virginmedia end.

  • VinnytheMackem
    VinnytheMackem (@VinnytheMackem) reported

    @virginmedia 1/2 Problem in G20 area too for past two hours. Your status check is telling me there is no problem and that my equipment isn't connected correctly. It is connected correctly. My phone, when trying to connect, is reporting it can't find the IP address/

  • PryceApryce29
    Ralph Mariano ⚒ (@PryceApryce29) reported

    @virginmedia already done that… none reported. Says mine has an intermittent fault. Would appear strange that no engineers have been allocated even though we’ve been experiencing problems for ages now which have been reported but it’s now getting to the point where it unusable.
