    @virginmedia We tried the chat option and after going through security questions got redirected to another department which was then closed and the chat ended 😡 I have sent an email complaint on your website. Appalling service and communication from day one.

  • josh_wats09123 Joshua Watson (@josh_wats09123) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia Hi I have had no broadband for the past few hours. Just wondering if there's an outage issue regarding cf63 postcode. Thanks in advance x

  • RedhillsAnnie Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia So fed up of the lousy WiFi. Can’t join the network even though the correct password is used.

  • KHoulgrave 🦋 Karen 🦋 (@KHoulgrave) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia cannot make or receive calls over 24hrs now, no 4g told outage in NP10 area how long is this going to last please? #virginmobile #outage

  • Jessybell1988 Jessica Venn (@Jessybell1988) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I’ve called 08454541111 several times and can’t get through to anyone in a UK call centre who can help. Please can I have a direct number for a UK call centre for complaints or cancellation department immediately? This has been going on months! I am very stressed and very annoyed

  • misselisamartin Elisabeth (@misselisamartin) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia are genuinely the worst broadband service, I've been left with no Internet or TV service since 2pm with no update to when it'll be back 🥴

  • RedhillsAnnie Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Any good reason why the outstanding @CNN news is being withdrawn from the cable service. Very, very disappointing. I am sure that I am not alone. #News #Media

  • djleekee Lee Smith/DJ Leekee (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I think it was more a BBC source issue rather than VM wide. The lip sync is just every so slightly out but seemed very put on strictly last night

  • Jessybell1988 Jessica Venn (@Jessybell1988) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I hope so. The extremely patronising and rude person I spoke to yesterday in an abroad call centre told me there was no complaints department and he couldn’t do anything at all until I paid the bill.

  • KerryMordey Kerry Mordey (@KerryMordey) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    .@virginmedia we have had NO service for 2 days & our IT provider says it’s because construction workers have cut through your lines. Is this correct & if so, when do you anticipate this will be rectified please?

  • cardiffrebel ANDREW JUDD (@cardiffrebel) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia could you please tell me how to activate WiFi calling on Sony Xperia 5 ii my wife has it I can see how to do it on O2 network but option not available on virgin handset?

  • reddevil1975 Leanne Everest 🙏❤ 🌈 🦄 (@reddevil1975) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia Thank you so much, I spoke on the phone a problem has been located was told it may take up to 4 hrs or less to fix it. Unfortunately it's not looking good as it's over 4 hrs now and still flashing green.

  • caialed cai 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@caialed) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia why am I paying £45 a month for my internet to constantly be down

  • RupaliaSunny Sunny Rupalia (@RupaliaSunny) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia have the worse broad band service....customer service is a shambles and all.

  • sioden Sioned Wyn 💛 (@sioden) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    You @virginmedia have the ABSOLUTE WORST telephone system I have ever wncountered. I’m trying to sort out an alleged unpaid bill (it bloody well isn’t an unpaid bill btw it’s incompetence on your behalf meaning I got billed well AFTER cancelling back in March 2020)

  • rusty_spenna spencer (@rusty_spenna) reported

    @virginmedia when the hell are you going to supply a service thats reliable, you're charging people a lot of money for a service that's absolutely disgusting, intermittent all the time, absolutely useless

  • mrriddlesworth Mr Riddlesworth (@mrriddlesworth) reported from Pontefract, England

    Not happy with @virginmedia for the past couple of weeks my download speed has dropped to 1/3rd of what i am paying for and no way to talk to an actual person about it. Just a robot that jeeps telling me to do the crap ive already done 10 times already. 😡🤬😡

  • NiallTaylor Niall (@NiallTaylor) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve already done the text thing, it’s the second time I’ve tried to use the system and got absolutely nowhere. I shouldn’t have to chase you in order to get the service I pay a lot of money for. It’s ridiculous, and I will be filling a complaint.

  • merveihn Merve (@merveihn) reported

    @virginmedia Considering it’s been the New Years break and everyone on holiday is anyone even working to get the issue fixed?? It’s been 5 DAYS!!

  • aawasthi78 Anil Awasthi (@aawasthi78) reported

    @virginmedia Team, problem is still unresolved. Need guided support ,

  • Phil_t1983 p (@Phil_t1983) reported

    @virginmedia I have just run another wired speed test and it’s dropped to 260 why is there such a big swing in speed all the time? My last provider speed was consistent always around 180 down and up yet my speed with you is hit and miss? Also why am I not able to opt out of hotspot???

  • WindsurfK59 Mike Wand-Tetley (@WindsurfK59) reported

    @virginmedia Still nothing?! What is the point of being a member of CEDR of you simply don't listen or abide by their decisions? Anyone thinking of joining Virgin take a look at the terrible trustpilot score they have first, it's definetely not worth the hassle.

  • ITVCharlieP ITV - Charlie Powell (@ITVCharlieP) reported

    @virginmedia Nooooo... never have been and happy with our service at the moment, thanks.

  • ZakCheeky FreeOzil (@ZakCheeky) reported

    @Itsdeactivatedg @virginmedia @SkyUK Bro they come out with some bullshit cos I’m cancelling the contract and the service isn’t working try tell me I have to pay £229 I’m not paying it

  • Thecarmagdriver Mauro Calo (@Thecarmagdriver) reported

    Hey @virginmedia I’m losing the will to live. The WIFI in my house is next to useless. I do a scan and it say I need a booster. Try and order a booster on your sight and it dose a second scan and it says my signal is great so won’t let me order a booster. MY WIFI IS TERRIBLE 😡😡
