    @virginmedia Having text the number you gave me, they referred me back to the technical phone number as they cannot help! So, let’s get back on the phone for the 3rd hour, in the hope I don’t get cut off, again! #shambles

  • Jones1Enfys Enfys Jones (@Jones1Enfys) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia customer contact centre, been hanging on the phone for an hour! Reporting scam, breach of data!!!

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@cymboi) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m trying to connect to my own and it won’t! They’re the worst piece of equipment you e ever supplied. The previous one was better!

  • huwgat Huw Llewellyn (@huwgat) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Thank you Virgin Media for being absolutely useless sorting my email problem. 8 hours in total on the phone with so called tech experts and still doesn’t work properly!!!🤬🤬🤬

  • staceyjhubbard Stacey J Hubbard 🐧 (@staceyjhubbard) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia down again Cardiff, meant to have a lecture at 7, which isn't looking likely

  • meribelman Peter Williams (@meribelman) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia I would happily self serve online, via a browser or app, as you incessantly encourage me to do, but when the page says “oops something went wrong, we’re unable to change your package online”, its very frustrating. @O2 will help you soon!

  • katejones_cymru Kate Jones (@katejones_cymru) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Hello. I’m waiting for the service to be reconnected, any chance this can be sped up as I’m wfh and need wifi ASAP

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @chloemphoto @virginmedia If it connects to other WiFi networks from the same source ie @virginmedia then the problem is within your router itself and not any device connected to it. Your router is faulty and needs replacing. You said yourself that the router is faulty and goes offline if even moved.

  • 76DarrenJ Darren Jones (@76DarrenJ) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia what a ******* joke over 30 mins in a cue and then when I get through they say they can’t hear me and hang up 🤬🤬

  • emilyjane73 LauraT 🔶 (@emilyjane73) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Need to cancel my new order. It wasn’t done correctly and given the total lack of being able to contact you I have lost confidence in VM. Cannot contact anyone to cancel though, what a nightmare. Just taking too much of my time to make switching worthwhile. #painful

  • James76clark James Clark (@James76clark) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Trying to get through to @virginmedia for an hour, only to then be cut off once being transferred! Poor show! Desperate to speak to someone as we have had our cables cut by resurfacing works!! 😡😡

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m still unable to get a decent Wi-fi signal at the back of the house.

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @chloemphoto @virginmedia Even if the ethernet works, the WiFi issues are still there and you need it sorting. It's in the @virginmedia contract to ensure all equipment is working and functioning as it should. Faulty equipment should be replaced and remember, you're paying for the service.

  • huwgat Huw Llewellyn (@huwgat) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Tried Virgin Community. Virgin rep encouraged me to take up tech package at a price. After spending 6hrs yesterday and 2hrs the day before, I am still in the same situation! This not a good service with your so-called experts!!!

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@cymboi) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia The Wi-fi is rubbish, slow and crap service up stairs. Often I have to connect to extenders. It’s a two story average house. Your routers are rubbish. The older ones were much better!!

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@cymboi) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia your customer support is absolutely crap!! Spoke to Salim who was just as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle!!

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @chloemphoto @virginmedia The laptop also works off mobile data sharing too so connectivity issues are good. Please sort out this mess because the router is needed to be working properly for laptop work to be done at home. Stop all this buck passing from one dept to another and help these guys PLEASE.

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @chloemphoto @virginmedia I'm a customer of yours 👍 and I can categorically prove that the laptop is 100% working correctly using 'my' Virgin Media WiFi connection with no issues. There's an issue with @chloemphoto's router which isn't getting resolved and the easiest solution is to replace it asap.

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia 🙄 isn’t that just a lazy way of doing tech support. When I worked for you going back a few years, we were very customer focused!!

  • PaulHunter1969 Paul Hunter (@PaulHunter1969) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia please can you DM me? I can’t get through to the help desk.

  • j1ggy_j jiggy jai (@j1ggy_j) reported

    @virginmedia @Ofcom So after approximately 2 weeks without my phone. I am still- to this day having issues. Your advisors think it’s funny to hang up and cut customers off. This is appalling service. This is causing me so much stress and anxiety.

  • Fubarrockchick #legend (@Fubarrockchick) reported

    @virginmedia I had been using rokus so just lived with it, but I've a new chrome now, which means I can only watch my Now tv, by downloading on to the telly, as chrome does not support it, so im done with paying what i pay for fibre, for not to simply connect smart tvs to it tbh

  • GazRobinson1 SSGR (@GazRobinson1) reported

    @virginmedia If I was a more angry man I’d say your service is Dog ****… but I’m not so I’ll just say it’s very very poor

  • dano_uk Dano (@dano_uk) reported

    @virginmedia How many changes to the estimated fix date has there been on this fault reference please?

  • Horsenburger Horsenburger (@Horsenburger) reported

    @virginmedia so your advice is just to cancel the contract and go back to the old one?

  • monteith598 Crystal Rose (@monteith598) reported

    @virginmedia system has been down since 2am today. No phone. No Internet. Hardly any TV coverage. Account is 1month in credit. Cannot access anything to inform you. Please look into this.

  • Horsenburger Horsenburger (@Horsenburger) reported

    @virginmedia wow, what a service, thanks @virginmedia you guys are appalling. I'm so please there are other providers of fast broadband challenging your monopoly at last.

  • chrismogorman Chris O'Gorman (@chrismogorman) reported

    @virginmedia so you’ve closed down my internet services but are still nicely taking money out of my bank account every month. I now have no internet even though I’m still paying for it. And while government guidance is to work from home due to Covid! Shockingly awful service.

  • NeurolawGuy Lt Col W Kilgore (@NeurolawGuy) reported

    @virginmedia It was a problem limited to one channel ITV3+1.

  • Beryl11943965 Beryl (@Beryl11943965) reported

    @virginmedia Can't actually take another useless conversation with Virgin, over 15 clalls, all the diff lies we have been told. Just fix our service. 30th is NOT acceptable. Don't tell me we will get a weeks cr as that does NOT cover the lost Xmas, emotional stress or fin costs.
