    andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia It wasn’t an email it was a text message I have reported it and they are aware of it if it’s nothing to do with a data breach how do they know my service provider, mobile number and day the bill is supposed to be paid?

  • IanRawlings2
    Ian Rawlings (@IanRawlings2) reported from Newport, Wales

    Got to love @virginmedia, having spent 1 hour 15 minutes on the phone waiting to speak to someone in their technical service, finally get through to be told they close in 15 minutes nothing they can do 😳 on the WiFi black spots better off getting something from Amazon 🤬🤯

    @virginmedia do you have issues in CF83 ? Our business broadband is down again.

    @virginmedia If I dont have a response in 48 hours to my formal complaint made a month ago, I will be cancelling my service. Ref number is COM104057176.

    @virginmedia can you tell me who I need to escalate the issue I have regarding my data being breached again for the second time in around 18 months I have spoken to customer services who have confirmed you are aware and investigating?????

    What's the point of being a @vmbusiness customer, when they don't inform you of planned outtages? 😡

    @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".

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

    @virginmedia Still having issues 😪 Its hopefully getting fixed Monday but would really like to speak to your complaints department

  • 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.

    @Gazman1927 @cardiffstu Virgin Media have recently installed cable around here and have been pestering me to sign up. Think I'll stick with Plusnet who have excellent customer service.

  • MsWhippet1
    Trudi Foster (@MsWhippet1) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.

  • Munchiemon
    The Devil (@Munchiemon) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia any issues in NP10? For the past two days my Internet has been cutting out every few minutes, making WFH and virtual conferencing absolutely appalling/unfeasible.

  • fayelsmithxo

    @virginmedia wifi’s down yet again!!! don’t pay money for your broadband just for it to be shut down all the time!

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

    @virginmedia Received a text message with a link saying that my bill had not been paid and update my details checked my bank and paid that day customer services confirmed this also this is the second time this has happened why does my information keep getting breached?

  • KitaW

    @virginmedia @gwfvrowell Another Gary here. I agree. By far the worst company ever.

  • bribiotech
    BriBiotech (@bribiotech) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia @richardbranson I was as pissed off as you but rather than take pain of dealing with them open the box damaged the innards reassembled and sent it to them. Would you believe it took me 36 hours of chasing them on WhatsApp to cancel the contract.

  • AsTrubludru
    A S Murray 🦔 (@AsTrubludru) reported

    @ZDangermouse @virginmedia If you have a decent data plan, you can use your phone as a hot spot for your smart tv. I’ve done it for an Xbox a few times when my internet went out. Games are a little slow, but Netflix and other streaming services were good when I did it.

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Yeah imagine getting shafted for being a loyal customer

    @nickncs_cP @zexyvfx @Acttx I’m virgin media aswell it’s not a virgin media problem

  • DeviateDefiant
    R.L. MacMurray 🇬🇧 (@DeviateDefiant) reported

    @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I've switched, I'm getting an Openreach FTTP line installed in a couple of weeks 👍 I've gone through BT, not sure if I'll stick with them, or just cancel within the 14 days - but that line gives me access to tons more ISPs. Latency will be way better than old Virgin coax too.

    FFS!! @virginmedia 2nd time in less than a week the broadband has gone down in B32! Seriously, get your **** together!!!

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Oh, it took you 18 years to realise they couldn't give a **** about you as a customer?

  • MJIllingworth
    Matthew Illingworth (@MJIllingworth) reported

    What compensation am I entitled to as every other day there is an outage in my area. I require constant connection to WiFi and this just isn't providing that service. It's too inconsistent and I'm looking to end my contract because of tgue @virginmedia

  • original1hanwoo
    Ewan McLachlan (@original1hanwoo) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Ive been charged by @virginmedia for using a service after I left the property and cancelled everything. Their customer service are so inept that after multiple phone calls etc they still dont understand the situation and have passed the £500 pound charge onto debt collectors.
