  • bairdyblues Bairdy 💙 (@bairdyblues) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @Gazman1927 @cardiffstu Virgin Media have recently installed cable around here and have been pestering me to sign up. Think I'll stick with Plusnet who have excellent customer service.

  • HanneRuthHall Hannah Hall (@HanneRuthHall) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia quit harassing me to return your kit. It took 2 days on the phone post price hikes to cancel services now your customer contact options loop to nowhere. You haven't even sent a return kit or courier so ffs stop bombarding with texts & emails to send your router back!

  • Tweet_Hazel Hazel (@Tweet_Hazel) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Im not really comfortable discussing my account in public. Can you message or email me. This is not great customer service.

  • WayneAssiratti WelshWayno (@WayneAssiratti) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia hi there. My son restarted our Hub 3 as I think he has a black spot in his room. Now our devices are "seeing" the router, but can't connect to it. Can you help please?

  • darth_noga Darth Noga (@darth_noga) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia had 3 missed callback promises from your partner team in the last week, can’t get hold of you by calling, absolutely disgusting service! I will be emailing Lutz Schüler to see what he’s got to say!

    @virginmedia hi, just had an email saying that our bill it going to raise from £30 to £57.50 & that we have been signed upto an 18month contract! I never signed anything or have had any kind of letter to inform me of this. We have very little money, all on job seekers or furlough

  • Daleos1 Dale Perry (@Daleos1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @PollyJames did you have success in cancelling your @virginmedia afterwards? I’m having terrible problems cancelling mine even though I’ve given 31 days notice. 😡

  • harveyhound73 Helen Ward 🍦 (@harveyhound73) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Waited until midnight - nothing. Now it’s 6:30am, still no service. Let down again.

  • JeffHopkinsCDF Jeff Hopkins Cardiff (@JeffHopkinsCDF) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I’ve had no services since February 5th and have spoken to at least 5 people in various departments who keep saying my services will be restored but still no service 16 days later. I would appreciate help.

  • Chloe_coy_ Chloe coy (@Chloe_coy_) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia @Chloe_Co I have checked the service status and it’s showing no faults but we have only a few minutes of connection before it goes off!

  • tibbo133no David Tibbs (@tibbo133no) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia trying to watch the live rugby on bt sport is impossible and painful with all the flickering from the feed you are sending out, this has happened the whole of the first half with no appologies or rectifying the problem, any chance of sorting?

  • hugemassiff Simon Hughes (@hugemassiff) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia hey there Virgin. Our V6 box packed in last night and we were promised a technician call before 10am today. No call & tried to ring back with no joy - still waiting ! Help please

  • johndn Dai John🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@johndn) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Shame on you @virginmedia #virginmedia after hiking your price and giving poor service. Interruption of programmes / coverage over past 2 weeks AND now unable to watch #WALMEX #CYMMEC 😡

  • Chloe_coy_ Chloe coy (@Chloe_coy_) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia @Chloe_Co It’s an issue within the house apparently. The flat above had perfect internet. We have had nothing and no call back!!

  • EmmaLouiseTho13 Emma 🌈 🖤 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺🎃 (@EmmaLouiseTho13) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @agmshankar @virginmedia Considering doing the same, they have increased the package price again this year (that's the second year in a row) and the network reliability seems to be getting increasingly worse in our area at least.

  • kaylsj kaylee-jade (@kaylsj) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I recently upgraded my phone using the trade up service. The problem is that my new phone won’t arrive in time before I have to send my old phone off. I was assured that I could keep my old phone until I receive the new phone but the confirmation email says

  • garethchell Gareth Chell (@garethchell) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve not had any confirmation. I get put on hold while speaking to disconnections and then the line just goes dead every time. I’ve spend over 2 hours on the line trying to sort this out and no one can seem to cancel my contract.

  • tffmadpixie sheena scott (@tffmadpixie) reported

    @MissEmVintage @virginmedia @sevensis I can't imagine how hard this has been, awful, disgusting treatment 😬

  • __Heer__ Navdeep Heer (@__Heer__) reported

    @virginmedia Excuses, your sales reps should let new customers know it may take a year for installation so they don’t cancel their previous provider before hand and Aren’t left without tv and internet for 3 months.

  • cymruchrisrich Chris Richards (@cymruchrisrich) reported from Gorseinon, Wales

    @virginmedia down again . No wifi or tv 😡

  • TraceyBuzzGThom Tracey Thompson (@TraceyBuzzGThom) reported

    @virginmedia hi please can you help my password not working asked for a reset and now it won't let me go past the 7th digit to complete reset

  • Kwig1 KWig1 (@Kwig1) reported

    @atetoomanymars @virginmedia I can’t check if our landline is down because we don’t actually use it. There’s got to be a way to register the fault. You could try the link to complain I was given yesterday- that might be one way to register it? I will go and get it…

  • Kevinde90524281 Kevindelaney (@Kevinde90524281) reported

    @VMSportIE Useless horrible virgin media sports get rid of Brian kerr

  • jools067 Tinks 😁💕🥂 (@jools067) reported

    @virginmedia I've been on the phone an hour, refund eventually agreed via cheque but as I've stated, the service of your company is horrendous but I'm stuck with you for another 9 months, I'm on countdown to leave

  • gillian_h_79 Gilly (@gillian_h_79) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just been told by a friend that you’ve advised 3 weeks to restore service. Someone else has been told this was planned works and customers notified - I certainly haven’t been warned in advance. I will be contacting @Ofcom
