    @virginmedia why after 3 days of attempting contact to resolve an issue do you see fit to disconnect my call prior to resolution? Your website assistance is not equipped to deal with this.

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

  • EmmaLouiseTho13 Emma 🌈 🖤 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺🎃 (@EmmaLouiseTho13) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @agmshankar @virginmedia Considering doing the same, they have increased the package price again this year (that's the second year in a row) and the network reliability seems to be getting increasingly worse in our area at least.

  • HanneRuthHall Hannah Hall (@HanneRuthHall) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia wow your customer services aren't geared up for this at all are they? Almost a year on in virtual service, no phone service, only web chat. It took from 2pm yesterday to 9am today to get a response from customer services who couldn't help anyhow! Bang goes retention!

  • bairdyblues Bairdy 💙 (@bairdyblues) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @Gazman1927 @cardiffstu Virgin Media have recently installed cable around here and have been pestering me to sign up. Think I'll stick with Plusnet who have excellent customer service.

  • WayneAssiratti WelshWayno (@WayneAssiratti) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia hi there. My son restarted our Hub 3 as I think he has a black spot in his room. Now our devices are "seeing" the router, but can't connect to it. Can you help please?

  • StrombolyS Manu (@StrombolyS) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Hi, please could you give us a hand? We are having daily problems with internet provided by you. Today it’s even worse than normal. We have important training online tomorrow and we need to have good broadband. We don’t want to go to another company but to work

  • LaLaDee21 Lauren (@LaLaDee21) reported

    @virginmedia No problems, let gent waste his time and resources. One point of feedback from a customer. Some of your staff need more upskilling. As they have totally misunderstood a 20min convo that i had to give up on, and sent a gent out to collect old equipment when i am not there.

  • brian_baileydj Cool boy Blu🔊🔊🎶📀🎤🎤🎧🎧 (@brian_baileydj) reported

    Sky and virgin media are ripoff merchants no high priced tv or internet fees it shouldn’t cost more than £15 for tv service and £10 for internet sky we’re going to charge £40-80 for both and virgin media £40-90 for both a month scam artists

  • LaLaDee21 Lauren (@LaLaDee21) reported

    @virginmedia can a customer service rep contact me ASAP. Twice you've told me 'im coming to your house'. Twice yesterday on the phone i told you...im IN hospital. Just got a text, saying James will be arriving soon. What a waste of his time, because no one listens on the phone!!

  • JenWright93 Jenny Butter (@JenWright93) reported

    @Teacherglitter @virginmedia Zen internet is a much better company @zeninternet if you can handle switching. Friendly and helpful. No nuisance calls. No issues.

  • HeyItsMystic heyitsalto | Fortnite Player (@HeyItsMystic) reported

    @virginmedia Well the house use to be a flat until it turned into a normal house so the electric wires aren’t the same and we have like concrete floors and walls so it makes the signal kinda work but it’s good at some points

  • SleepingFairy1 Lissy Gray (@SleepingFairy1) reported

    @virginmedia @krashworth88 If it means an improvement in customer service then yes. The last Call centre advisor couldn’t have sounded more uninterested if he tried and I’m still paying for extras I never asked for. Will be cancelling with immediate effect

  • WilyFederCrypto Wily Feder (@WilyFederCrypto) reported

    @virginmedia Already 2 days, but is ongoing since May, when Virgin Media did the “service improve work” around my area. I spent more time with customer support than with my family..this is totally unacceptable!!

  • 07913912246 Mcd58 (@07913912246) reported

    @virginmedia what vm laughingly calls customer service or help is an absolute joke no bb again and zero service from vm, it's binned as soon as the price goes up

  • FvdE Tessier-Ashpool 🇨🇭🇯🇲💻🛰️🇪🇹🇯🇵 (@FvdE) reported

    @virginmedia Well, the absolute best time for me was the hour+ I wasted trying to deal with this last night, only to be hung up on. You really aren't grasping the problem here are you? Now that you think that the loss and inconvenience is on your side. Looks like rain to be honest.

  • MooBoutique Moo Boutique (@MooBoutique) reported
