    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.

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

    @virginmedia It's not intermittent, it's completely down in CF23.

    @virginmedia can you tell me what has gone wrong with your company!?!? I have been with you for years, without complaint but, since Dec 21, you change my contract, without my say-so & despite constant calls for 6 months, still nobody will take responsibility & sort it out!!! 😠😠

  • Dazc090861
    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia My original package wasn't due to end until July 22. I've spoken to every department you have, over & over again...I go over the same old explanation with your people every single time & still, nobody in your company will help...I've spoken to over 3 managers & still nothing!!

    @thewson72 @virginmedia Great when on. So much faster than anyone else. But useless service when it’s down.

    Anybody else in Cardiff have reeeeeally slow and inconsistent internet these last couple of weeks? Trying to do anything involving the wifi - work or streaming - is so painful! @virginmedia #Cardiff

    @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".

    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.

  • gareth_thmpsn
    Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia You really aren’t reading the messages, I’ve now told 3 different channels of my mothers death, I’ve called bereavement line to be hung up on, then closed early. I want a complaint raised, @Ofcom can you help?

  • GarethThwaite
    Gareth Thwaite (@GarethThwaite) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia can you please just admit you value new customers over 20yrs plus ones? @BT want to help a family out?

    @virginmedia I’m trying to end my contract with yourselves. Which is proving an impossible task When I PRESS 1 on the phone to get through to someone, the phone line goes dead? Appreciate any help.

    @virginmedia So myself or my wife has to spend our working day trying to get through to ypu just to be fobbed off to different departments and get no where 🙄🙄 customer service skills at best

  • Dazc090861
    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Firstly a refund of £351 for the Mobile part of the Oomph bundle as it was stopped a couple of months after starting the contract..still not paid to me! The Media part..nothing has been done at all..no solution..just continual pestering to pay by debt collectors or cut service!

  • Dazc090861
    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.

  • BackOnTrack__
    Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia still waiting since 7.30 am for the engineer to come to sort out the problems we are having, he’s 25 minutes to get here ( we were given 7.30-13 slot) still no tv since Thursday!

  • djleekee
    Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.

    When I can and I suggest to my entire family as soon as we are all out of contract with @virginmedia … RUN how this company isn’t shut down is beyond me at this point

  • NathanBhangoo
    Nathan Bhangoo (@NathanBhangoo) reported

    @virginmedia your customer support system is actually the worst I've ever heard, this guy was just not understanding what I was explaining to him like I was from another planet or something and kept on saying get a refund when I told him I'm paying for a university package, smh

  • nickncs_cP
    Nick S. (nickncs) (@nickncs_cP) reported

    @virginmedia something is wrong with your internet network. maybe DNS server issue? some sites down on all devices but able to reach them if using a vpn.

  • HoMcArdle
    Craig McArdle (@HoMcArdle) reported

    Absolutely no ***** given @virginmedia India and Malaysia are your only options as a customer. Poor people having to deal with vm ****** policies. FYI if you make more than one complaint about the same issue, they close the previous ones as resolved. They simply disappear.

    Alexander Dumas 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Alexand68647317) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I had a very similar experience with them. They are only interested in new customers and not retaining the ones they already have. I left, pay a fraction of what I used to, and will never do business with them again. Great business model for going bust.

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Damn I'm paying £63 for 1gig from VM.

  • 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.

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Nah, cancel. I’ve done it after being with them for 5 years paid £75+ as I had TVPackage as well. Went with Community Fibre 1Gbps. £27 p/m. No dramas
