    @virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

    @virginmedia When will the website be fixed? It has been broken for weeks, ever since you “improved” it.

    @virginmedia I do not want to be with you any more because you are doing my head in!!!! You have turned from being a very good company with good service to being the most disgusting people I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with!!!

    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

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yep. Just been on hold for 1 hour 3 minutes and as soon as I got through it cut off. Sent multiple follow up WhatsApp messages and still nothing. You really need to sort out your customer service because I’ve been waiting 3 weeks just to get back into contact with someone!!!

  • 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.

  • welshcuriosity
    Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Upgrading to gigabit broadband meant getting a new router from VirginMedia, so took the opportunity to tidy up and remove old cabling and extension leads. Didn't realise just how much unused crap I still had plugged in/taking up space

  • CharlBalcombe

    @virginmedia Having serious disconnection issues with my WiFi (CF24) - is there anything that can be done? Can you help? WFH this week has been painful

    @rwilliams1947 @virginmedia It seems VM are also messing up landlines too. They now need to connect the phone cable to the Wi-Fi hub . Which means lots of trouble in my house and many other properties across the UK. And good luck with trying to discontinue their contract - they make it very difficult.

    @virginmedia Virginmedia broadband and other services are, once again, down in the postcode NW1 9TY (from 10.00 this morning). This is the third time in two weeks. According to their updates, the estimated repair time is 8 July at 15.07 !

  • kcranebda
    Keivin Crane (@kcranebda) reported

    @virginmedia being called out! A word of advice. Do NOT use their one switch system. This system is NOT one switch. They promise you get to keep things like your old number. That’s a lie. Poor customer service. They don’t keep their promises. They should run for PM of the UK!

    @adzflowers @virginmedia @VictorMeldrew77 I've been waiting nearly 4 months for them to sort my account, I still can't get into it. Every time I get told they will "escalate my case to IT support" and nothing happens. Amazing connection, non existent customer service.

    @john_mcguirk Matt cooper is boring. He lacks a personality. His left progressive woke conversation is predictable and monotonous. At least you and Sarah speak your minds. The odd bad language is thrown in but we get a different view on your show. RTE,virgin media , bla bla bla

  • Nicky_P_Smalley
    Nicky P. Smalley (@Nicky_P_Smalley) reported

    @virginmedia It’s been nearly 2 weeks now. Drop ops/low speeds are still continuing in s63. I keep getting texts saying you’ve identified the problem and sending someone out, but all that happens is you change date of when it’ll be fixed, but fix it you have not!
