  • andylance1977 andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    Properly for the best part of a yr doesn't seem a problem to yourselves but your quite happy to take out monthly payment for a service we're paying for but you're not providing & seem to be in no hurry to provide it. Disgraceful service @virginmedia

  • ROMEROISACUTI ROMEROISACUTI (@ROMEROISACUTI) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia wifi has gone down in CF62 area of Barry.

  • 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.

  • stfcjoner1986 Moseph Mellars (@stfcjoner1986) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @daisylnaughton @virginmedia Down for me too

  • 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!

  • 3_monk Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported from Beechwood, Wales

    @virginmedia I get your bills, that is how I realised as a loyal customer I am paying £40 plus a month for Internet access only. Fortunately for me and not for you BT Openreach have been installing fibre to home allowing me greater negotiating power as tou have no respect for loyalty.

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

    @virginmedia I’m fuming! We were lied to by their customer service , promised an engineer this an no one turned up now been told by customer service that we won’t have one until tomorrow #nithoodenough

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

    @virginmedia Rather than patronise me just offer a good service snd get it sorted tomorrow.

  • andylance1977 andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia is it normal practice when a call is made to you about problems with the tivo box (3rd time this year) that you're then on a call for over an hr at at the end of it promised an upgrade, go thro all the protocols only to be told actually you can't have that

  • staceyjlipowski Stacey J Lipowski🐧 (@staceyjlipowski) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia internet has gone down and the website is also down so can’t check if it is an issue in the area or not

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

    @virginmedia you absolutely SUCK! Sick to death of the poor service you are providing. No TV at all and having to wait 3 days fir a technician and yet you will still charge us, I’m FUMING!

    Your internet lately has just been poor @virginmedia please sort it out!!!

  • spuddy1878 Neil (@spuddy1878) reported

    @1980sepo @virginmedia The service is really good, they're just a nightmare trying to sort any issues

  • Griffin20638245 Griffinp (@Griffin20638245) reported

    @Nesphalim @Jackoswhorld @virginmedia Hi Kimberley, I’m a virgin media customer and literally getting about 50 emails a day now coming to the inbox saying ‘expiring’ etc. I put them all in the junk yet the new emails still make their way to my inbox? Do u know why now? Thx for any help

  • davyclarke davyclarke (@davyclarke) reported

    The service level and customer service from @virginmedia is really, really very poor. Never get any communication back from any complaints that I have made. You've become very self-assured with your fastest broadband mantle. Shouldn't affect good customer service.

  • shonadon shona donaldson (@shonadon) reported

    @virginmedia So problem eventually sorted. A new router was never ordered and not available unless you’re a new customer so I upgraded which obviously costs more and I got the Hub4 within 2 days and enjoying Virgins new Gig1 fibre connection now.

  • Bellshilltim Bellshill Tim (@Bellshilltim) reported

    @Alanmcl76 @virginmedia I honestly need to factory reset at least once a week, and I'm looking a WiFi mesh options as the hub4 is shockingly bad

  • DisastersR6 DisastersHappen (@DisastersR6) reported

    @LawR6S Virgin Media is the fastest you will probably be able to get, however for me in my area it will go down at least once a day and speeds are inconsistent. Also the router they give is a pile of **** along with their customer support.

  • lunar0003 Grumpy auld wumin (@lunar0003) reported

    Seems virgin media is using subliminal advertising on their tv network & the recent price hikes have been savage....with more to follow!

  • danielrcadams Daniel (@danielrcadams) reported

    @virginmedia No. I waited an hour to get through the first time. Why should I keep having to wait an hour each time I call? I can’t be bothered and don’t have the time to spend that long on hold. Rubbish customer service and every Saturday your on demand service doesn’t work.

  • Llanitasoul Chloe James (@Llanitasoul) reported

    The ol' @virginmedia broadband down again! Saying not going to be fixed till 4pm tomorrow? Also haven't had the upgraded speeds and box we are waiting for.....
