  • darth_noga
    Noga Fett (@darth_noga) reported from Barry, Wales

    Absolutely shocking service from @virginmedia a 47% price increase for a customer of over 25 years and would rather lose a customer than give us a deal that new customers get. @BTCare @SkyHelpTeam can you do any better?

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

    @virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????

  • macauc01
    Christina Macaulay (@macauc01) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia terrible service. You booked to install my equipment on 13th Dec 2023. Wrong year and no one will sort it out. Your fault entirely

  • 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.

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

    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.

  • Dazc090861
    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Firstly a refund of £351 for the Mobile part of the Oomph bundle as it was stopped a couple of months after starting the contract..still not paid to me! The Media part..nothing has been done at all..no solution..just continual pestering to pay by debt collectors or cut service!

  • SewScandalous
    Katieeeeeeeeeeeee 👻 (@SewScandalous) reported from Newport, Wales

    Oh, looks like @virginmedia have disconnected my service 7 days before they were meant to 🙄 Absolute rubbish.

  • 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!

  • 555Husker
    MarcB (@555Husker) reported from Cardiff, Wales

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

  • 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?

  • mantha_1976
    Sam Sims (@mantha_1976) reported from Newport, Wales

    hey @virginmedia I have a contract that says my price is set to Jan 2023 and I negotiated the deal with customer retention as not the account holder bit authorised to talk on behalf of the account holder and now I've got customer services flat out lying toe on WhatsApp (1)

    Hi @virginmedia can I please have some assistance? Thw WiFi keeps dropping out since yesterday. I am WFH so this is causing lots of problems. I have contacted you via live chat but I am getting no reply after answering sec questions. I am based in Splott, Cardiff.

  • philscully
    𝗣S. (@philscully) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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

  • RedhillsAnnie
    Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Now I have a problem with the DNS not working. Called 150 and ended up with a text with a link to where I started. Really, really frustrating. Please help.

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

  • 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?

    @_lliesl_ @ArmchairAdml @globalds Grain They're limited in coverage because they're new, but they have their own lines like Virgin media and don't run on openreach network

  • GrantRfc89
    ... (@GrantRfc89) reported

    @ArmchairAdml Just give notice or switch to a different provider. I had similar with Virgin media recently and literally had to have my wife try and open a new account at the address before I got a deal comparable to the new customer one.

  • Craighale4
    Craig hale (@Craighale4) reported

    @ArmchairAdml I’ve got a similar situation with @virginmedia where I’m paying £92 for internet and phone line which I’ve never used.

    @virginmedia I am in desperate need of help, my tv isn’t working properly, the phone line I been given tells me it’s not available. Once I got through giving it my account number it doesn’t recognise my account number. It’s turning into nightmare. Can you help

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