  • 555Husker
    MarcB (@555Husker) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia When will the website be fixed? It has been broken for weeks, ever since you “improved” it.

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yep. Just been on hold for 1 hour 3 minutes and as soon as I got through it cut off. Sent multiple follow up WhatsApp messages and still nothing. You really need to sort out your customer service because I’ve been waiting 3 weeks just to get back into contact with someone!!!

  • RedhillsAnnie
    Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia So fed up of the lousy WiFi. Can’t join the network even though the correct password is used.

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Can I just ask why it is that you can respond within minutes on social media (where the public can see your actions) but then in private you are ignoring your customers and taking three weeks to deal with issues? If you have agents manning twitter why can’t you pick up the phone?

  • fredljones_
    Fred Jones (@fredljones_) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia online chat not working, on hold for hours and not responding on WhatsApp?! How do I get hold of you to cancel my service ffs...

  • gareth_thmpsn
    Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia You really aren’t reading the messages, I’ve now told 3 different channels of my mothers death, I’ve called bereavement line to be hung up on, then closed early. I want a complaint raised, @Ofcom can you help?

  • Dazc090861
    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I do not want to be with you any more because you are doing my head in!!!! You have turned from being a very good company with good service to being the most disgusting people I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with!!!

  • TimmyGrunt
    Tim Burns (@TimmyGrunt) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Anyone suffering internet outage from @virginmedia ??

  • Paulyb65
    Paul Burnell (@Paulyb65) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia really frustrating morning. First day back from the holidays, stacks to do and internet has been down from minute I signed in!! Really need this back up ASAP!!

  • CharlBalcombe
    Charl Balcombe (@CharlBalcombe) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Having serious disconnection issues with my WiFi (CF24) - is there anything that can be done? Can you help? WFH this week has been painful

  • djleekee
    Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported 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.

  • Jessybell1988
    Jessica Venn (@Jessybell1988) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia We tried the chat option and after going through security questions got redirected to another department which was then closed and the chat ended 😡 I have sent an email complaint on your website. Appalling service and communication from day one.

  • MissAzzaB
    Ariane (@MissAzzaB) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Anybody else in Cardiff have reeeeeally slow and inconsistent internet these last couple of weeks? Trying to do anything involving the wifi - work or streaming - is so painful! @virginmedia #Cardiff

    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

  • paulo1927
    Paul 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@paulo1927) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia as a former TV customer, now just broadband, I want to reconnect a TV package. I already have 3 boxes in my house can they not be just reconnected instead of sending my out a box?

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

    Absolutely shocking service from @virginmedia a 47% price increase for a customer of over 25 years and would rather lose a customer than give us a deal that new customers get. @BTCare @SkyHelpTeam can you do any better?

  • jonny_ex9
    Jonny Ex 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇬🇷 (@jonny_ex9) reported from Cathays, Wales

    @virginmedia hi, our internet has been intermittent since 30th May (ML2), with resolution dates moving back repeatedly. Can you advise on a ACTUAL date from which we will resume 100% service?

  • Days_Are_Gone
    Richard M 🇺🇦 (@Days_Are_Gone) reported

    Who's providing their interplanetary communications if she needs to try again next year? Even Virgin Media aren't that bad. #Sams80s

  • RdeB1973
    Robert de Bruin (@RdeB1973) reported

    @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog Virgin Media do not care about there customers, they don't take serious complaints seriously! They take unauthorised monies then fail to refund ! They make it up as they go along. In other words please sort out my refund ASAP.

  • Foredeck99
    Foredeck (@Foredeck99) reported

    @virginmedia When I repeatedly, politely tell your tele sales team to remove my name from your calling list they fail to do so, I am sometimes getting multiple daily calls from you. Execrable customer service, 0/10.

  • stefan655
    🐺 (@stefan655) reported

    @virginmedia I've just had one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever encountered over the phone. The representative I spoke to today was incredibly rude, dismissive, and unhelpful throughout the call!

  • Fletchers_Mama
    Karen Rodger (@Fletchers_Mama) reported

    @virginmedia It was both. It has happened twice in 2 consecutive mths, both times locked for 2wks. Currently unlocked but never been explained why it how to prevent

  • sharlewis58
    Shar 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@sharlewis58) reported

    @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 That's why I left them unreservedly, an utter arse to try to interact. One system not talking to the other, no human to help sort. Mid contract hikes. Went to Sky - no regrets, easy xfer & lower bills

  • irishbazdev
    Barry Devlin (@irishbazdev) reported

    @virginmedia Two months + before I get contacted by 02/Virgin Media regarding my ongoing complaint and all you can offer me for broken promises is £20. No phone calls before today and you are a communication company. Not good enough!

  • PeterOuld
    Peter Ould (Deeper Magic / Before Dawn Time) (@PeterOuld) reported

    Hey @virginmedia - I can't login to my account on a web browser. Keeps failing regardless of browser. The issue is definitely your end.

  • Mteasel67

    @virginmedia is your website down at all ? , I'm trying to look at some links you sent me earlier ( via X) and all I get is an error message 403 forbidden 🤔
