  • FindlayEquality Graham Findlay FRSA 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 (@FindlayEquality) reported from Cathays, Wales

    @rwilliams1947 @virginmedia It seems VM are also messing up landlines too. They now need to connect the phone cable to the Wi-Fi hub . Which means lots of trouble in my house and many other properties across the UK. And good luck with trying to discontinue their contract - they make it very difficult.

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

    Imagine my shock that @virginmedia is down AGAIN. Please fix it

  • GiantVeg Kevin Fortey (@GiantVeg) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @emmalunn @virginmedia Absolutely. Just had to improvise from a mobile phone with similarly shocking service too

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

    @virginmedia The image attached shows you have notified me of an issue

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia Your company is awful. I’ve called today waited 10min to the worst hold music only to be cut off. Call back to be told your closed now then state you are open between 9-6. Why are you deliberately obstructive?

  • GillibrandPeter Peter Gillibrand (@GillibrandPeter) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

  • stuart_chc Stuart Ropke (@stuart_chc) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @eggynewydd @virginmedia Dismally slow. Yes.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • amandaroberts10 amanda roberts (@amandaroberts10) reported from Cardiff, Wales

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

  • MaartenSleeckx MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @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".

  • 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.

  • arnie1984 James Arnold (@arnie1984) reported

    @virginmedia It's a joke though, we pay for a service and it doesn't even run properly. I'd love to say it's only a one off scenario, but it's happened more this year than others. I'd swap provider if I could but Sky in this area just doesn't reach the same level as you when working.

  • arnie1984 James Arnold (@arnie1984) reported

    @virginmedia a little unhappy that my Virgin Media services have been down from around 0730 this morning and it shows it's not going to be resolved till tomorrow afternoon. My postcode is TW19 7HY. A little unhappy as we've been unable to use services we pay for due to WiFi.

  • ExN_SKRT Adam Damarell (@ExN_SKRT) reported

    @virginmedia 4 times in 6 days that both broadband and Tv have been down for extended periods of time. What on earth is going on at Virgin media? Happy to take my £70+ a month, will be claiming compensation.

  • LornieWillins Lorna Willins (@LornieWillins) reported

    @virginmedia please answer your phone I need help with my virgin media app

  • gary_mortland Gary Mortland (@gary_mortland) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin media broadband is useless. I’ve been without service since Saturday and still not sorted🙈

  • Farke_In_El Yorkshire Sherpa (@Farke_In_El) reported

    @virginmedia I'm specifically talking about the SkySports app being down?

  • remysosav 🇯🇲 Big Savo 🇧🇧 (@remysosav) reported

    Virgin media playing up once again lol. Cant even do my ******* course unless i burn my data. @virginmedia you lot are so absolutely ****.

  • DerekMo04274549 Well Fan (@DerekMo04274549) reported

    @virginmedia I urgently need help with virgin media services. Your “help” functions and automated phone lines make it impossible to speak to a human being.

  • Farke_In_El Yorkshire Sherpa (@Farke_In_El) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Missed the cricket yesterday cos I couldn't sign into SkySports. Still the same today. Any estimated fix time as I think it might be a national issue and not just me.

  • Kemkerr Kirstie (@Kemkerr) reported

    @virginmedia Internet justcwent down. Tried using my virgin media status but got an error msg. Is there an outage in the SL4 area?
