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

    @virginmedia calling takes too long, always on hold for over an hour, and they never deal with the problem, the person on WhatsApp actually dealt with it which is why I was wanting to carry on using WhatsApp?!

    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I'm now waiting on a call from the retentions department (I missed one earlier)! I know exactly what they will say because I've spoken to them on a number of occasions...they will offer me a new contract & raise a complaint about the messing about you've given me!!!

    Jackie Childs (@JackieJJC) reported

    @virginmedia TV picture breaking up. Went to account to check for issues - site said it couldn’t do it. Tried to phone - got cut off after a couple of rings. Customer Service is non-existent.

  • norbertsteelez
    Norbertsteelez (@norbertsteelez) reported

    @virginmedia No TV channels all day. Just pixelated pictures. Tried the the website and it cannot check the service for my area. Pretty poor and amateur. And all we will get is a meaningless apology. What would happen if I held back my payments for a period of time and then apologising?

    @WhightChris @ArmchairAdml Yeh, they only installed in my area last spring. I did some research on them and they are part of Netomnia’s network. I only had Virgin Media providing "to the property" fibre, my alternatives were BT and 60mbp/s outside of them prior. Hopefully as they grow they'll reach you too
