    @virginmedia can’t get through to speak to anyone on the phone. I want to remove sky sports from my account whilst there are no sports actually on. I’m outside of my contract now so it shouldn’t be an issue

    I know you guys are like super super busy, but please fix my internet...I’ve used my entire dvd library in lockdown and I think I’m going to go insane 🥺😂 @virginmedia

  • SilverwoodVS Dr Victoria Silverwood (@SilverwoodVS) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @JackoGaz @virginmedia It’s down over the whole city. I broke it out of sheer frustration watching that drivel and spent the third period cooking vegetables rather than continue watching. That’s how serious it was 🥬🥒🥕🥦

  • sandraburnett3 sandra burnett (@sandraburnett3) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @davidcoldwell @SkyJohnnyNelson @TonyBellew @Carl_Froch @mrdavidhaye @PaulMalignaggi @SkySportsBoxing But not on @virginmedia sucks 😡

    @virginmedia appreciate these are difficult times for us all but I am locked out of my account and have tried all solutions offered on the website. Help please - working from home requires email access

  • sb208 Charliesays (@sb208) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I have been waiting a reply on your message service in the app since 22nd March for someone to tell me my bill amount has changed. Call centres closed and text number not replying except standard computer answers! Poor service

  • DRJAMESOFF James Trollope (@DRJAMESOFF) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @FizzyM7 @brumsongsben @virginmedia Someone has also tweeted that the estimated fix is around 6:05 but not sure how accurate this is

  • sb208 Charliesays (@sb208) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia still no resolution!

  • liam_oharaccfc Liam (@liam_oharaccfc) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I pay £40 a month JUST for WiFi!!!! it’s horrendous. Slow, can’t handle streaming a simple Amazon Prime video, and I’m getting charged DOUBLE what I paid originally a few years back! I’ll be phoning to leave Monday morning, £40 is terrible, let alone for poor service

  • DesignFourTweet Dylan Lewis (@DesignFourTweet) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Passed the street green box with doors totally open and no engineers today and thought this is not good. Sure enough it’s not #VirginMedia and #BT tv totally down #Cardiff 😡

  • tomgriffiths88 Tom Griffiths (@tomgriffiths88) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia 54 minutes to get through then cut off x3. Trying to cancel our contract which we can't do online.

  • djleekee Lee Smith/DJ Leekee (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @MattRosser @virginmedia Lol. I've just looked on my tivo and it's not as bad as the image you've posted. It's aligned differently.

  • SophieCloake Sophie Cloake (@SophieCloake) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @VodafoneUK don’t be fooled by the cheap internet deals!! You’ll be sat in the house waiting for the engineer to never arrive and then call to find out what is happening and no one knows! #fantastic #useless #sticktovirginmedia @virginmedia

  • CaptainPencoed not Manc but Lanc ! (@CaptainPencoed) reported

    @ThatChris1209 @HunterGodson @virginmedia Ever tried getting out of verging media? If you know how, clue me in. The website spins you into a find out more/do it now loop that never ends.

  • NCFC_MAD Samuel (@NCFC_MAD) reported

    If anyone's looking at changing their internet or phone, don't go to @virginmedia! Single handedly the worst company I have ever dealt with!!

  • MikeP71306241 Mike P (@MikeP71306241) reported

    @virginmedia hi, can I ask that in your update texts and Virgin media app you give us information on what has happened instead of just an increasing estimated fix time for all faults? At least there feels like progress then F008753318. Thx

  • dano_afc Dan O'Sullivan (@dano_afc) reported

    @virginmedia Please explain to me how 2021 looks any more rosey!? Absolute joke. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. If I receive a good service I don’t mind paying for it!!

  • JulesFlint Julia Bainbridge (@JulesFlint) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve already tried that, go round in circles and get never speak to anyone

  • banyaik Krisztina Banyai (@banyaik) reported

    @virginmedia and again... outage since yeterday morning.. estimated fix time 2 pm.. 8 pm..10 pm..10 am and now 8 pm again...

  • lucy___loo Lucy Loo 💙 (@lucy___loo) reported

    @virginmedia We are now 2 months on - and no resolution or compensation provided following a service outage from 2nd - 12 Nov, then intermittent service from 12-16 Nov. Neighbours on the estate have been refunded already. Do I now need to escalate this to the @OmbudServices

  • D_Cashford Darryl (@D_Cashford) reported

    @RachaelGrohl The madness is I’m paying less for this internet than I was for virgin media and i never have the connection issues. Virgin media used to go down all the time when I had it. At least once a month I’d have no internet for the best part of a week and they were not helpful at all

  • Mattsoar78 Matthew Soar (@Mattsoar78) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, not that I'm aware of. It's been bad for years. It's always a topic of discussion on the residents Facebook page

  • fadingparrot324 Fadingparrot324 (@fadingparrot324) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it is a problem you are aware of but it has been crap for 3 days but at the end of the month you will still expect full price thats what's annoying me on/off all day the Internet not good enough
