    @virginmedia But im asking what would be different to the other times where ive just wasted hours of my day for nothing to change? We have called numerous times only to be told there is no problem or to reset. No other assitance is ever offered

    @virginmedia I have literally had enough of your appalling service!! I’ve been sent a text to call you on 0800 052 2170 and there’s no option to even speak to a human?! I refuse to spend another hour on the phone trying to sort my account! Can you please direct me to an human?

  • 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.

    @virginmedia @Chloe_Co It’s an issue within the house apparently. The flat above had perfect internet. We have had nothing and no call back!!

  • 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

  • Mento56
    Mento5 (TAFKAB) (@Mento56) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @DwyKev @virginmedia Their appalling customer service was the one thing that made me decide to stick with Plusnet rather than switch to them, despite a very attractive offer.

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

    @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.

  • 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?

    @virginmedia I'm fed up of trying to get in touch to sort out my rubbish broadband service, due to the fact you cant keep your end of the contract please cancel mine.

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

    @virginmedia Can I just ask why it is that you can respond within minutes on social media (where the public can see your actions) but then in private you are ignoring your customers and taking three weeks to deal with issues? If you have agents manning twitter why can’t you pick up the phone?

  • benj8min
    Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Another day in the life of a @virginmedia customer. TV showing fault. Ran online diagnostics, didn't fix. Site says to call. Call. Go through menu, TV, fault... sends me a text with a link to online diagnostics, says "thanks for calling" and hangs up. Worst. Company. Ever.

  • RedhillsAnnie

    @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

    Chloe coy (@Chloe_coy_) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia @Chloe_Co I have checked the service status and it’s showing no faults but we have only a few minutes of connection before it goes off!

  • bull_robin56713
    🇬🇧 Rob @No-Bull-Politics 🇬🇧 (@bull_robin56713) reported

    @virginmedia I'm sure I'm not alone in having asked you to reduce my service, such as cancelling a second set-top box, in order to reduce my bills. As you can see here I asked for my bills to be reduced in Jan 2024. Yet notice how those bills have crept up again ever since. There has been no increase or improvement in the service you provide to justify this. According to my analysis, despite having gained a better paid job recently, my net income is down 4.2% compared with 5 years ago. Like many, I am going to have to tighten my belt, and those bills that increase without any prior warning must be the first to go.

    @virginmedia couid you explain how the renewal person couldn't help me cancel ? told me to ring someone else? said she was on her own no team no manager to talk to?

  • selhurstpaw1
    Paul Wright (@selhurstpaw1) reported

    @biggle1908 Avoid Virgin Media at all costs. Call centres are overseas. Back up if you have real issues is very slow. Regular price increases. When you renew your contract, it will be considerably higher.

  • jacsal2244
    Jacob (@jacsal2244) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve had no WiFi for over a week now and everyone fix date gets pushed, I’ve now blew through my data like how are people meant to work and stuff??

  • charles_forsyth
    Charles Forsyth (@charles_forsyth) reported

    @biggle1908 @SBarrettBar @zeninternet I have both Zen and Virgin Media (two fibres). Zen is symmetric but VM is not (here), despite Zen being half the price. Symmetry (or not) depends on the underlying infrastructure supplier. VM has been great over many years, fairly usual tech support; Zen has been excellent and the tech support is very techy. ("Symmetric" here means upload and download rate is the same; often upload is much slower.)

  • FromTinyPennies
    TJ Hughes (@FromTinyPennies) reported

    My VirginMedia contract is ending soon (thank goodness), but a couple of weeks ago they contacted me to tell me that my box was outdated and could cause issues with recordings. All of a sudden, the issues that are causing me to cancel, have ramped up. Can't play recordings now.

  • biggle1908
    Oracle (@biggle1908) reported

    Looking for some advice lovely people. For twenty something years I have had broadband from BT and TV from Sky. Sky’s renewal is coming in at over £100 per month and am currently paying £62 for BT which is now painfully slow. I have been looking at Virgin Media for both and this gives me a saving of around £70 per month for much faster broadband. What are people’s experiences with Virgin Media. Thanks in advance.

    @0kbps i got my internet bill cut in half for the exact same speeds just by calling up the scottish line of virgin media and the guy immediately like "yeah mate i can offer you this deal instead" lmao. internet companies are such a damn joke

    @nicolatallant Nicola...with your experience in investigative journalism you should be all over this! I have never heard of such widespread corruption. You know what should be done here. Do the right thing. Ask the questions.... Start with the Shilling report...or how about the fact there is NO PULSE RECORD for #MrP regarding the allegations and subsequent harrassment of #MrP. The enablement and cheek turning is disgusting. Do your job. @rtenews @virginmedia
