    @virginmedia You've just put our bills up again ! Virgin your outage has been the worst ever last 2 years !

  • ChrisSwinglis Dr Chris Inglis (@ChrisSwinglis) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.

  • George66Steve Steve George🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales

    @virginmedia And if it's 'some customers' it's an awful bloody lot of them!

  • GillibrandPeter Peter Gillibrand (@GillibrandPeter) reported from Cardiff, Wales

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

  • 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?

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

    @eggynewydd @virginmedia Dismally slow. Yes.

  • 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?

  • George66Steve Steve George🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales

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

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

    @virginmedia Your company is awful. I’ve called today waited 10min to the worst hold music only to be cut off. Call back to be told your closed now then state you are open between 9-6. Why are you deliberately obstructive?

  • AlMaManshp AM🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🐾🐈‍⬛🐈🐕‍🦺🐕🐓 (@AlMaManshp) reported from Beechwood, Wales

    @wolsned All the bloody time - terrible service #virginbroadband #virginmedia

  • FindlayEquality Graham Findlay FRSA 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 (@FindlayEquality) reported from Cathays, Wales

    @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.

  • mz_drennan mz f Drennan (@mz_drennan) reported from Cathays, Wales

    @virginmedia you ,mean the awful service you usually provide is even worse,,

  • cherylockerby cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia I have a TiVo box but my tv screen keeps pixelating. It is not restricted to 1 channel. I have turned the box off at the plug but it has made no difference. Can you help?

  • msb1302 Michelle (@msb1302) reported from Treforest, Wales

    @virginmedia Nope still down and isn't just me in the area.

  • unclewilco Andrew Wilcox 🛖 Shedified (@unclewilco) reported from Penarth, Wales

    Been lucky all day my #virginmedia has not been down at all, 5pm & it's down Pub? #VirginMediaoutage

  • 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.

    @virginmedia Thing is, this was an issue with virgin wifi service used at Premier inn, how do I check my account for that? I’m not a VM broadband customer

  • Johnboyowls john (@Johnboyowls) reported

    @virginmedia It’s my second box in the conservatory, it’s saying not connected to media service, I’ve tried everything turning it off from the plug everything it’s says to do on your website but still nothing, I’ve tried ringing but no answer, this is now 4 weeks without it, can you help.

  • Richardson28 Richie (@Richardson28) reported

    @virginmedia done everything possible, spoke to the silly Virgin Bot that insisted my details were wrong also, even though i was logged in and taken my details right off the site. I'm on a rolling month to month contract so i think i will just cancel and find slower but more reliable provider

  • MattFeetham1 Selecta (@MattFeetham1) reported

    @virginmedia Text messaging service........ over a week now talking to gotta be 12 different people now. 3 weeks with no tv. They should have sent a v6 but sent a tivo.

  • TechNitin Nitin Kulkarni (@TechNitin) reported

  • Bestheadkase Neil Gardner (@Bestheadkase) reported

    @virginmedia Since I joined you several weeks ago my broadband connection has been terrible. I'm paying for a gigabit connection and lucky if I'm getting 100mb. Last night it was less then 1!!!!

  • rmills599 RICHARD MILLS (@rmills599) reported

    @virginmedia I was told it was an error and would be sorted, been given 3 times that would be sorted by, last one was last Saturday. Was told there was an outage in my area at one point, but neighbours with VM are ok with same channels. was given a text no as well but that got ignored.

  • theruckuz Ruckuz (@theruckuz) reported

    @virginmedia When I call. They send a text message. How do you actually speak to a human? Your A.I isn't good enough to understand issues like this

  • jhd_____ jasmine (@jhd_____) reported

    @virginmedia how do I submit a formal complaint?

  • LeonidasOxford Leonidas 🎃Nightmares in Nike Airs OUT NOW👟 (@LeonidasOxford) reported

    @virginmedia @VMSolutions_ has the most embarrassing internet service not only do they promise the world and charge a Bomb but they hardly ever work (definitely not to the standard I pay for) and then expect me to sit on hold for 1hour 17 minutes!!! WTAF! 🤬🤬🤬
