    Well after 20 years of being a loyal @skytv customer its time to leave. They have taken my custom for granted expecting me to accept poor customer service well I won't & I'm not. @skytv loss is very much @virginmedia gain.

    Gareth Jones (@gazthebluebird1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I am unable to sign into my online account and trying to speak to anyone at your company its like trying to make contact with the moon, can you open up a DM conversation to help please?

  • 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.

    @daisylnaughton @virginmedia Down for me too

  • orangethunder_
    Nathan Rhys George (@orangethunder_) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    I feel awful for the @virginmedia social media staff. Bosses - invest more in infrastructure to genuinely improve services and stop these poor people being treated like ****. Also, pay your taxes.

    It would be easier to get blood out of a stone that get password help from #virginmedia

    @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 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.

    Chloe coy (@Chloe_coy_) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @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!!

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

  • 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.

  • Tweet_Hazel
    Hazel (@Tweet_Hazel) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Im not really comfortable discussing my account in public. Can you message or email me. This is not great customer service.

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

    @virginmedia It doesn't. No changes made. I had major problems setting this up, it went through someone in your complaints department and they had to do something manual to set the package I was on up. Clearly, even they are incapable. I've had TV for a few months, then it's just gone off.

  • 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!!

    Ted (@tkly57) reported

    @virginmedia This has been going on since Thursday morning! Can't get through to anyone. Yet another breakdown in service and failure to communicate from a "communications" company. 🫢Definitely time to review with whom I have my contract. 🤔

  • HazAwaiz
    HazAwaiz (@HazAwaiz) reported

    @virginmedia It says internet issue will be resolved by 22nd May! That’s a bit too long!!!! Not too happy with this

  • BriefcaseMike
    Briefcase Michael (@BriefcaseMike) reported

    @virginmedia Many hours now with no TV on any channel. Unacceptable when your service is so expensive.

  • EdnaKrabapple1
    Edna Krabapple 💙 (@EdnaKrabapple1) reported

    Anyone else having issues with 'channels not authorised' on @virginmedia? During the week, we couldn't get BBC1 for that reason but now it's other BBC channels.

  • MarttechSol
    Marttech Solutions (@MarttechSol) reported

    Virgin Media now have an ETA of 11:05am today to get these issues fixed. The Service Status tool now appears to be working for the vast majority of people.

    @darreng3007 @virginmedia Having the same issue called 150 said that there is an ongoing issue, cant find out when it might be back up and running

  • GrantStewart2
    Grant Stewart (@GrantStewart2) reported

    @virginmedia Tv still down after 24 hours and no update from VM. Awful service from a company that states putting customers first. Shocking service

  • JCorbinHus
    J Corbi (@JCorbinHus) reported

    @virginmedia VM CONNECT APP is constantly crashing not allowing me to sign in

  • JPWOZNIAK
    JAN WOZNIAK (@JPWOZNIAK) reported

    @virginmedia STILL NO BBC1 FOR US, plus other issues. Very disappointing 24 hours.I think it may be a good time to check alternative providers…

    @bisho32287 @virginmedia Just seen the same. Totally unacceptable, wth kind of 'outage' could need 30hrs (at least) to repair?!
