    @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".

    @virginmedia I have a TiVo box but my tv screen keeps pixelating. It is not restricted to 1 channel. I have turned the box off at the plug but it has made no difference. Can you help?

  • NobbyD27
    Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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

  • GarethThwaite
    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?

  • Mento56
    Mento5 (TAFKAB) (@Mento56) reported 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia I dunno mate, that's why I tried to call you lot. You can't help, so don't worry about it. Another weekend without TV and internet, waiting for your engineer to turn up. Another complaint. Another refund.

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

    Another day in the life of a @virginmedia customer. TV showing fault. Ran online diagnostics, didn't fix. Site says to call. Call. Go through menu, TV, fault... sends me a text with a link to online diagnostics, says "thanks for calling" and hangs up. Worst. Company. Ever.

  • thelee_x_w
    lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @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

  • thelee_x_w
    lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Word 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

  • andylance1977
    andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia why does it seem impossible to sort my TV and WiFi out? My partner has been phoning up on and off for a year or more about poor signal, not being able to use catch and apps and general poor service. Just get fobbed off.] Is this how you treat all customers?

  • andylance1977
    andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @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.

  • NobbyD27
    Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia Cancel the contract and go to Sky

    @virginmedia That's not going to help me reset my password.

    @virginmedia any chance of supporting existing customers, currently paying £32 a month but your offering new customers 25 a month. Helpline said nothing I can do as existing customer.

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

    @virginmedia A laughable statement in all honesty you're known for terrible service, demonstrated by the line "Package changes". Who said package changes? I have a TV package, I signed up for, have a contract for and have been using since June. It's disappeared your end, I have the docs.

  • markccfc70
    Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported 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.

  • gazthebluebird1
    Gareth Jones (@gazthebluebird1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I am unable to sign into my online account and trying to speak to anyone at your company its like trying to make contact with the moon, can you open up a DM conversation to help please?

    @virginmedia is there a problem in the CF23 area ... no WiFi??

  • JohnAllum16
    JAllum (@JohnAllum16) reported

    @virginmedia after a webchat with Bethany and the promises of a referral to the area field manager and raising a complaint…… heard nothing back , this error has been going on nearly two months with no resolution, absolutely rubbish

  • Paul_Ford80

    @virginmedia I've phoned customer services and seems its the hub. Getting an engineer out on Friday. Thanks for replying.

  • siuphilip
    Philip 銘光 Siu 🇬🇧🇭🇰🇹🇼 (@siuphilip) reported

    @virginmedia Fine, but it is still nonsensical to suddenly price hike by almost 50% four months left of an 18 month contract just because the customer has taken out £3.65 of additional upgrade product.

  • babyblue900
    eff omani (@babyblue900) reported

    @virginmedia It’s been days since your response and we still have no service but there’s no indication at that link that there’s a problem in our area. We’re paying an extortionate amount of money for no TV or broadband! Totally unacceptable!

  • RosevearJS
    Jon Rosevear 🇺🇦 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 (@RosevearJS) reported

    So cancel @virginmedia subscription August, pay credited Sept bill in October, only for them to take full DD today. Turns out “someone” cancelled the disconnect!! But no October bill!! Absolutely useless!

  • KerryElizabeth_
    Kerry. 📌 (@KerryElizabeth_) reported

    @virginmedia m your customer service is a ******* joke. Internet supposed to be installed on the 10th November, put back to the 18th November. Then today, put back to the 30th December WITH NO EXPLANATION. And don’t even get me started on your hold music.

    @virginmedia Your website says the issue will be fixed at 20.10. It’s later than that now. It has been two days already.
