  • davidtoliver David Oliver (@davidtoliver) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia What’s your customer service telephone number? Can’t find one anywhere. Don’t want a “Message Bot” - I want a human to sort out our problem. Wife’s a GP trying to provide patient care from home -can’t because of broadband problems. Don’t tell me to reset the router!!

  • LukeBCornish Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Only from customers hypothesising what the issue is... appreciate the help but not going to resolve anything.

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Hello, raised a complaint yesterday at 11:00am, told I’d get a call back within 24 hours - no call, so what’s the next exhausting step?

  • TheRealNigsy Nigsy (@TheRealNigsy) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia Had issues this morning, but seem ok now.

  • LukeBCornish Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia @virginmedia come on guys... I've done what you asked. Still no response. Trying to resolve this issue since 12th Oct.

  • jamesbrinning James (@jamesbrinning) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia hey guys, are you having issues with your broadband service around roath in cardiff (Cf24)? Our download speed appears to be okay but upload is non existent?

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Anyone looking for truly appalling customer service? With terrible communications? Try one of the UK’s leading comms company @virginmedia - great example of how to truly undervalue customers with poor and dismissive service #poor #CustomerExperience #CustomerService

  • billxm1 billy💫 (@billxm1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia soooo over virgin wifi in cathays, can’t go longer than 10 mins without it going down and the website constantly says there’s an issue in the area that’s ‘soon to be fixed’ omfg rahhh

  • LukeBCornish Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Last pt... a helpful member of the community just advised me to text a random mobile number for help. May be innocent but I have no idea if that is a @virginmedia number ... feels a little suspicious / could be a scam? Hope the moderators track these types of things too.

  • HuwCCFC Huw (@HuwCCFC) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @AndyDerricott @virginmedia If you're looking for some help from @virginmedia, good luck! Their customer support is non-existant.

  • H7WEJ Jason Howe (@H7WEJ) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    Let's hope @virginmedia broadband service is better than their pavement relaying skills. Disruption and mess all over Caerphilly.

  • catrin_davies1 catrin davies (@catrin_davies1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Contract with @virginmedia is expiring up £20 p/m. Great Black Friday deal for new customers. Won’t match it. Told if sign up in my name as new customer (currently in partner’s name) they’ll offer it-great but still want £35 one off fee for equipment -we have equipment here 🙈

  • williamsk67 Kevin Williams 💙💛🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@williamsk67) reported from Treharris, Wales

    @JonoMoulds We’ve got a problem with Virgin media, too. We cancelled his mobile phone contract when it ended, but they kept on charging him. I cancelled his DD, now they are threatening to send the bailiffs round. Absolute ***** the lot of them. I’m ****** fuming butt!

  • LukeBCornish Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Okay I'll keep paying you for something that doesn't work and wait for another customer to advise how to resolve the issue... or if I'm really lucky a moderator might get in touch... 👌 Is there an SLA?

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia is there anybody in your customer services department today?

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @adamburgessevan @virginmedia They are absolutely TERRIBLE at customer service

  • KenDaniels9 Ken Daniels (@KenDaniels9) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia @IanMearnsMP Yes Virgin media is now useless spent longer than that on phone still have not sorted out my issue with e mail so I have given up

  • julianevans11 Julian Evans (@julianevans11) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia The complaint is with VIRGIN not BT! They have stopped it their end but Virgin still need to cancel this. Do you know your job????

  • Cartergaz Gary Carter (@Cartergaz) reported from Maesycwmmer, Wales

    @BigTempUK @virginmedia Errr. Dude. This is a bad experience.

  • BrightonCrouch Tim Crouch (@BrightonCrouch) reported

    @virginmedia Regularly SO slow that I have to rely on 5G. One engineer said split the 2G/5G channels. Another engineer said this was bad advice. Stuff like ‘is it too near the wall?’ hasn’t changed a thing.

  • Kwame916 Kwame Gyamfi (@Kwame916) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Virgin Media - you've started with your poor connection bollocks again? It's been a good few month. You were doing well. #VirginMedia #SW11

  • matthiggo matthiggo (@matthiggo) reported

    @virginmedia how do I speak to someone about my broadband and tv installation? It’s meant to be today and heard nothing. When I call customer services it asks for my virgin landline number or account number - I don’t have either of them as I’m a completely new customer?

  • alderson55 Teledahn 🌈 she/her (@alderson55) reported

    @virginmedia so we're now in day 3 of no service in g68 area. The updates are just a time window that changes every 4 hours with no real information. Any chance of a real update? If it's going to take 3 days to fix just say so! I can't even speak to a real person!!!!!

  • MazzaElliott Marianne Elliott (@MazzaElliott) reported

    @virginmedia how can I contact someone to help me with an issue? I am a new customer and organised installation on 5th January. I have phoned and spoken to someone different 6 times over the last 3 days and keep getting conflicting info on when getting installed. Thanks

  • ritirishi Riti Rishi (@ritirishi) reported

    .@virginmedia by far the worst #CustomerService I have experienced. I've spoken to 11 different people today and have been cut off every time. They will not allow me to make a complaint. Outrageous. Poor. Cancel my contract!!!

  • iainraelennox Iain Rae Lennox (@iainraelennox) reported

    @virginmedia Can you confirm there is an issue in G68 9NF and that someone is actually looking at this issue? I just keep getting the same automated message saying it will be fixed by a specific time? Thanks.

  • LauraMila__ Laura Roberts (@LauraMila__) reported

    Hi @virginmedia, very unimpressed with your service. I tried to set up in my new house and your team couldn’t find the address, after numerous calls I decided to leave. I’d like my last fee waived please, it’s been utterly ridiculous dealing with you

  • BrightonCrouch Tim Crouch (@BrightonCrouch) reported

    @virginmedia A Hub 3. As it’s old I suggested maybe a new hub would help, but they didn’t agree to this. We work from home and rely on good WiFi, and to be honest are at our wits’ end. We just need it to work.
