  Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported 9 minutes ago 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.

  Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported 16 minutes ago from Cwmbran Central, Wales

  Been with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.

  @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.

  @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

  @virginmedia I’m fuming! We were lied to by their customer service , promised an engineer this an no one turned up now been told by customer service that we won’t have one until tomorrow #nithoodenough

  @thewson72 @virginmedia Great when on. So much faster than anyone else. But useless service when it’s down.

• 
  Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported 30 minutes ago 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

• 
  Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported 31 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia It doesn't. No changes made. I had major problems setting this up, it went through someone in your complaints department and they had to do something manual to set the package I was on up. Clearly, even they are incapable. I've had TV for a few months, then it's just gone off.

  Louise Dare (@lou_dare) reported 33 minutes ago from Ringland, Wales

  @virginmedia we are having issues NP19 we’ve rebooted and checked wires.. been on and off now for few weeks. What’s going on please ??

  Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported 34 minutes ago 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.

  Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported 40 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia I did that this morning & the person said they were in complaints department..he said I needed to speak to retentions & a manager would call. He raised a complaint Ref:C160622488. Got a call this afternoon where the manager of customer services said there was nothing he could do.

  @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.

  @virginmedia @Dionne96310374 We weren’t offered that when ours went down

  Mento5 (TAFKAB) (@Mento56) reported 59 minutes ago 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.

  Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported 1 hour ago from Cardiff, Wales

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

Virgin Media Issues Reports

• 
  Lacking Courage (@NeedMoreCourage) reported 3 minutes ago

  @virginmedia We have lost faith in your organisation's ability to listen or fix the problem! Poorly trained staff or systems seem to not help & if a scripted system then just puts you into a repetitive loop.

• 
  LynneN 🌸✝️ https://www.youtube.com/watch (@nightsong53) reported 5 minutes ago

  @marypaul32 @virginmedia Every organisation appears to be incompetent. Its on such a grand scale now that it seems deliberate because such things do stress the human bodi. We got hold of Asda mobile and thei said it could take 2 days to fix but it's on now. I am way behind with stuff though. 8wks ombdsma

  Ollie McManus (@OliverGMcManus) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have raised a complaint and they haven't addressed it for me.

  TB (@Peerabeee) reported 12 minutes ago

  @Ofcom @virginmedia Update: Form formally submitted to @Ofcom. They have been briefed about your contract breaches and failure to resolve complaint ref C-010626172 regarding internet faults and unfair termination fees. I will escalate to CISAS/Ombudsman next. Resolve this now!

• 
  Ailsa (@Ailsa56202286) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have had 3 conversations with your representatives on the phone in the last week promising a change on my account/ complaints email and none of them have followed through? Is anyone else finding the virgin media team to be totally USELESS. Will never be using again

•

• 
  Christian Schmeer (@cschmeer) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Thank you, but unfortunately there’s no alternative placement as the next power socket would be through a wall and 10 meters down the hallway, which might help with the overheating, but it all my network connections run to the cupboard by the entrance.

• 
  iBraderz (@iBraderz) reported 25 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Just under 2 weeks later and still no resolution. This has now been going on over a month and all the service checker says is they are aware but the date of repair is consistently getting delayed. This is absolutely poor.

  Ady Carter (@IsitAdy) reported 25 minutes ago

  @virginmedia It finally came back online during the #europeancup penalty shootout. Missed most of the final. But it’s not the first time we’ve had problems in this area. Very frustrating
