  • Carl_E88 This is Carl🏳️‍🌈😺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍕 (@Carl_E88) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia any chance of supporting existing customers, currently paying £32 a month but your offering new customers 25 a month. Helpline said nothing I can do as existing customer.

  • 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.

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

    Word of warning avoid @virginmedia 4 wifi like the plague. I rarely get even 20% of advertised speeds & the CS team are next 2 useless. Paying 4 daily disappointment that upsets the kids. Will never go back 2 them ever. Worst service I ave ever received @EE was so much better

  • 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?

  • markccfc70 Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Been with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.

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

    @eggynewydd @virginmedia Dismally slow. Yes.

  • 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.

  • 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".

  • gazthebluebird1 Gareth Jones (@gazthebluebird1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I am unable to sign into my online account and trying to speak to anyone at your company its like trying to make contact with the moon, can you open up a DM conversation to help please?

  • benj8min Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia A laughable statement in all honesty you're known for terrible service, demonstrated by the line "Package changes". Who said package changes? I have a TV package, I signed up for, have a contract for and have been using since June. It's disappeared your end, I have the docs.

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

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

  • NobbyD27 Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia Cancel the contract and go to Sky

  • NobbyD27 Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia I’m on virgin and it’s not that great Sye, I was going to sky before I renewed but had the same problem as you because I’d of had to wait months for BT to install a cable so just stuck to the devil I know in the end

  • benj8min Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Another day in the life of a @virginmedia customer. TV showing fault. Ran online diagnostics, didn't fix. Site says to call. Call. Go through menu, TV, fault... sends me a text with a link to online diagnostics, says "thanks for calling" and hangs up. Worst. Company. Ever.

  • benj8min Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia It doesn't. No changes made. I had major problems setting this up, it went through someone in your complaints department and they had to do something manual to set the package I was on up. Clearly, even they are incapable. I've had TV for a few months, then it's just gone off.

  • gazthebluebird1 Gareth Jones (@gazthebluebird1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia That's not going to help me reset my password.

  • benj8min Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I dunno mate, that's why I tried to call you lot. You can't help, so don't worry about it. Another weekend without TV and internet, waiting for your engineer to turn up. Another complaint. Another refund.

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

    @virginmedia another day another WiFi outage. This really is the worst WiFi I've ever had. Legally as you are not providing the service as promised am I allowed to cancel the contract ? @CitizensAdvice

  • benj8min Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia With respect, your customer service advisors are useless. As is the technology for contacting them. As per my initial message. Last time I went through this I was booked a chat appointment by your twitter team with someone who specifically handled the complaint.

  • macauc01 Christina Macaulay (@macauc01) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia terrible service. You booked to install my equipment on 13th Dec 2023. Wrong year and no one will sort it out. Your fault entirely

  • xjessioux Jess 🌱 🔜 Develop:Brighton (@xjessioux) reported

    @virginmedia Not helpful at all, I’m well aware of how to track my complaint. All I need is for you to cancel my contract but you are prolonging the process and intentionally disconnecting on the phone. Literally a scam. It’s not okay, and I need this resolved ASAP.

  • bbycarriep Carrie (@bbycarriep) reported

    @virginmedia you’ve been down all day, had no internet connection since I work up at 9am and it’s still not working at 2am ? I’m using data to tweet this

  • KatHarris42 Katrina Harris MA (@KatHarris42) reported

    Oh well @virginmedia expect a formal complaint and I will be complaining to the financial ombudsman. You have taken money from my account without my permission. For the past 3 weeks I have had to 'moan'about your poor service. #poorcustomerservice

  • Daveem14 Demba1415 (@Daveem14) reported

    @virginmedia And 24 hours later, your website gets stuck on "Checking your connection for issues"... Nothing but issues with your service over the last 3 months. Unstable connection and getting 1/3 of the speeds I should with no access to help.

  • RonnieS186 Ronnie Singh (@RonnieS186) reported

    @virginmedia Usual shocking service, I've tried ringing several times to cancel and get cut off. Then get transferred to customer relations via WhatsApp and got no response in 24 hours. All I want to do is cancel!?

  • Parv_ PK (@Parv_) reported

    @virginmedia is there work going on in the B70 area? Internet is down and I the status page on your website is not loading as usual.

  • beesman Dan Jackson (@beesman) reported

    If you're ever feeling enticed by high speed low cost broadband deals from @virginmedia, don't do it. Daily outages are the norm not the exception, & there's always a "technician in the area" to fix the problem at a future time. Garbage. @TomMockridgeVM

  • Mrspdyer Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Yes, we’ve all reported it and service update says fix by 4pm today. Thanks.

  • sanjitchudha Sanjit Singh Chudha (@sanjitchudha) reported

    @virginmedia Don't get me started on the hassling phone calls which followed ... off the scale. Bad form

  • ArcticFox1977 ArcticFox19779 (@ArcticFox1977) reported

    @virginmedia @DianaRoss Is there gigs for engineers to turn up at your house to fix cabling issues that has been ongoing for 2 months?? That would ve some lineup.
