    @virginmedia another day another WiFi outage. This really is the worst WiFi I've ever had. Legally as you are not providing the service as promised am I allowed to cancel the contract ? @CitizensAdvice

  • darth_noga
    Noga Fett (@darth_noga) reported 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?

  • welsh1lad

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported 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????

  • welshcuriosity
    Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Upgrading 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

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

    @virginmedia I do not want to be with you any more because you are doing my head in!!!! You have turned from being a very good company with good service to being the most disgusting people I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with!!!

  • macauc01
    Christina Macaulay (@macauc01) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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

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

    @virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.

    @virginmedia @O2 Talking to a cmsr service rep at the mo, absolutely crap!!

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

    @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 !!!!

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

    @OldSparky6 @virginmedia I’m never going with them again. Genuinely don’t know how they are still a company that is allowed to operate when the customer service is this bad!

    @daisylnaughton @virginmedia Down for me too

    @virginmedia Looking for an update for the CF3 outage.. Channels have been off over 6 hours now Telephone too. Please advise

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

    @virginmedia I'm now waiting on a call from the retentions department (I missed one earlier)! I know exactly what they will say because I've spoken to them on a number of occasions...they will offer me a new contract & raise a complaint about the messing about you've given me!!!

  • MaartenSleeckx
    MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia Clearly not as the issue keeps coming back after multiple engineer fixes outside AND in my home. You're lying through your teeth and leaving me in the dark literally. Stop hiding behind "standard business" replies, be human and help me.

  • MaartenSleeckx
    MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia Screw you. Only me dying bothers anyone, literally anyone, it's always impossible to help me until people understand that I will kill myself. You're no better than them. See you in 2 weeks or not "AB".

    Mr H (@silestanix) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia not a fan of doing this but o2, you guys have made a holiday in the USA as difficult as possible. After many conversations with advisors on the chat I STILL CANNOT Make calls back to the UK from here in the USA. I'm a volt customer but will rethink this...

  • chesserlufc
    chesser (@chesserlufc) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv They will but ring you when its too late stuff them I say, I've been with @virginmedia for years now and everytime my contract ends I just ring up and get a decent deal, not as good as a new customer which I have an issue with, but still a good deal!

  • Oxford_Life
    In Oxford (@Oxford_Life) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv You will, unfortunately, find that not only do #VirginMedia also not reward loyal customers with fair prices, but that their new TV box has perhaps the worst interface you have ever experienced (along with randomly deleting all my recordings!)

  • Coady88
    JC (@Coady88) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia You’ll be switching back to sky in 2 years when virgin do exactly the same, double your bill whilst offering new customers the same service at 1/4 of the price, it’s a market I genuinely do not understand.

  • MJNorman5
    calmdown (@MJNorman5) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Virgin/Sky. Two sides of the same coin. Be prepared to cancel when negotiating.

    Echo chamber again on Virgin media and Irish media in general Focusing on the big bad far right and not on the cause of the current crisis #TonightVMTV

  • jimjam1234567
    Qwerty (@jimjam1234567) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv Asked Virgin Media what options do I have for having their TV service in different parts of the house without running cables through my home...they offered me a firestick!

    @JonStone101 @virginmedia @MartinSLewis is it not time for you to look at Virgin Media and their corrupt renewal process? Every 2 years you have to have this dance and they still bugger it up. They needed to treat existing customers fairly.

  • robhjones
    Rob Jones (@robhjones) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve only used iplayer since changing but it’s impossible to watch anything so there’s obviously some connection problem and extremely annoying as its in the evening when we watch

  • SweeneyJoanne
    JS (@SweeneyJoanne) reported

    @virginmedia I cannot tell you how horrendous my experience has been. 4 weeks later, no install, a broken path and I have no broadband! You didn’t show up again!!!! No communication either.
