  • FerriesAndy Andy Ferries (@FerriesAndy) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia who do I call to sort my internet issues. Work and homeschooling is hard without internet! Diagnostic tools online are not sorting the problem

  • Thelansdownepub The Lansdowne (@Thelansdownepub) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Phoned @virginmedia to see what they can do about a payment holiday since we are forced to remain closed for the foreseeable and obviously not using any of our broadband services. They offered a discount of half a months bill. Wow. The worst company we have spoken to so far 😰

  • WynfordE Wyn Emanuel (@WynfordE) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I have done everything you have asked me to do regarding my security issue. I have responded to your texts as requested. But you never respond as you say you will. Meanwhile, more letters and texts arrive. It is futile.

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @virginmedia Thanks for the response and your patience. Yes, the TV is doing the same today but not as bad.

  • TaffieBaggie Chris A. Stott aka Taffie Baggie (@TaffieBaggie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @EmmaKlieve @virginmedia Heard there was an outage today from my complaints handler as I'm 6 weeks into investigations in why my hub still failing.

  • SAULYD_ saul (@SAULYD_) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia I cannot stress how ****** bollox your internet is. Honestly 1G would be 10x faster than your ****

  • perkie7 Claire Perks (@perkie7) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia WiFi across house very slow. The internet access was tested with cable ached to router. Internet speed good but Unable to open 2 government website WiFi signal around house was poor 5 recorded during Speedtests. Restarted Router x2. Turn off PC firewall. Still websites not work

  • BenLloyd91 Ben Lloyd 🔰 (@BenLloyd91) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @RiotAngeI Ye virgin media’s been a ***** the last few days 🙈 they’ve released a statement saying that VM customers are using the internet more often than normal with everyone being home due to the lockdown that it’s having problems keeping up to speed, so not much they can do really 👎🏻🤣

  • JasperDommett 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐭 (@JasperDommett) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @JohnsonGaza @virginmedia @VirginMediaCC @VMSolutions_ Having the same problem 😒

  • nicholasmith6 Nichola-Louise 💞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💞 (@nicholasmith6) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ofthesaintsUK @AmazonUK @AmazonHelp Are ur supplier @virginmedia by any chance because my connection has been awful x

  • PhilippaWillia1 Philippa Williams (@PhilippaWillia1) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia To be honest the telephone support from call centre was very poor. No answer to my request about customers who are vulnerable and who else I could talk to. Just “wait another 72 hours” .....It was email, Facebook and twitter messages that helped

  • BigDogWrestler Big Dog (@BigDogWrestler) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Annabanana8008 @virginmedia @O2 Good luck to you and don't take any sh*t, you should be fully compensated for the absolute inconvenience. We had a little problem with our provider and they where excellent, understood the issue and before we asked they compensated us.

  • DebbieWharton Debbie Wharton (@DebbieWharton) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @WillHayCardiff @virginmedia Same here, it’s awful. We can’t get hold of them and the website complaints section isn’t much help either!

  • perks18 Roger Perks (@perks18) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Have upgraded the service and in theory should be able to run an official but I've been having problems with my router for weeks. It's not working properly and barely allows me to watch Netflix! I'm a critical worker and this isn't helping. Can't speak to anyone!!

  • SammyHarrison89 Sam Harrison (@SammyHarrison89) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @disabledaver @virginmedia It’s absolutely awful. In and out of connection all day, everyday regardless of lockdown.

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    My neighbour has the same issues. @virginmedia

  • reddevil1975 Leanne Everest ❤💛❤ (@reddevil1975) reported from Barry, Wales

    Here we go again another night #virginmedia decides to go down, I've lost count how many times now typical when it's about the only thing keeping us sane in lockdown!!! 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

  • BigDogWrestler Big Dog (@BigDogWrestler) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Annabanana8008 @virginmedia I feel for you, if @O2 and @virginmedia do merge, I'm leaving at the earliest opportunity. @virginmedia leave me a little cold and with no confidence as a customer.

  • jopop27 jolene (@jopop27) reported

    @virginmedia what is going on with the internet service in bd10 ( Bradford) cos it's going down all the time! Planned works yesterday only now off again today! No updates on service page

  • BarryPrince15 Barry Prince (@BarryPrince15) reported

    @virginmedia My home broadband service has lost connectivity multiple times over the last few months. The outages an last hours which means I lose both time and money working from home.

  • HannesLangolf Hannes Langolf (@HannesLangolf) reported

    @virginmedia Your team told me I can’t transfer the account to the person staying behind. I can’t take it with me because you aren’t serving the area of my new house. So they told me I have to cancel the contract/account and have to pay £240 exit fees.

  • BarryPrince15 Barry Prince (@BarryPrince15) reported

    @virginmedia Today’s outage has been rectified. I use the Virgin service checker for my postcode each time and there has always been a known issue.

  • 66_mazza Mazza 66 (@66_mazza) reported

    @virginmedia Why should I......?it's been done, your call centre staff are notoriously un helpful & untrained,service is still an absolute shambles,just fix it or refund me & pull plug forever 😡 I've PM'd you via VM media Ireland as you do not appear to have a UK option?!

  • HannesLangolf Hannes Langolf (@HannesLangolf) reported

    @virginmedia Confusing messages, bad customer service and both times we would have charged £240 for @virginmedia not providing their service in the new area and me having to move but wanting to leave the service behind for the person living in the flat.

  • Rob_Garvey FlippedAcademic (@Rob_Garvey) reported from Bromley, England

    A question for @virginmedia Is it more important for an engineer to a) resolve a customer's service problem b) get to next appointment because the engineer is measured on appointments attended rather fixed? You have one unhappy customer #poorcustomerservice

  • AshOnFire1989 Ashley Kerr (@AshOnFire1989) reported

    @virginmedia The issue has never been posted on the status page. I told them this when the issue was reported. though out the whole time I wouldn't know the status of it

  • JamesWalkerLyon JWL (@JamesWalkerLyon) reported

    @virginmedia Whatever bot! Just provide a reliable service!!!

  • HannesLangolf Hannes Langolf (@HannesLangolf) reported

    @virginmedia @FPSLimits I did get back in touch to clarify and was still told there’s nothing @virginmedia can do and I have to Pay £240. So are you telling me that it’s possible to change the account holder and leave the service running?
