  • PerformandGrow Sally Evans (@PerformandGrow) reported from Barry, Wales

    Please help! Data, sims, devices desperately needed by refugees at this time! @VodafoneUK @SMARTYMobileUK @TalkTalk @EE @orange @virginmedia

  • WynfordE Wyn Emanuel (@WynfordE) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I have done everything you have asked me to do regarding my security issue. I have responded to your texts as requested. But you never respond as you say you will. Meanwhile, more letters and texts arrive. It is futile.

  • PhilippaWillia1 Philippa Williams (@PhilippaWillia1) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia To be honest the telephone support from call centre was very poor. No answer to my request about customers who are vulnerable and who else I could talk to. Just “wait another 72 hours” .....It was email, Facebook and twitter messages that helped

  • leohawkins123 Leigh Hawkins (@leohawkins123) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Once again still on hold from @virginmedia 24 mins takes the piss, to make a complaint the fact we have 1 of there team phone us 4 times a day for the same thing over a week,come on @virginmedia I know you need to promote your packages but 4 times a day for a week. Pls answer 📞.

  • TaffieBaggie Chris A. Stott aka Taffie Baggie (@TaffieBaggie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @EmmaKlieve @virginmedia Heard there was an outage today from my complaints handler as I'm 6 weeks into investigations in why my hub still failing.

  • cherylockerby cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia I have had a letter to say my sons email address is sending spam emails. I have changed my password just in case but am having an issue with certain emails being undelivered. Have you put a spam indicator on my emails. This is causing me big problems

  • PentwynP Pentwyn & Llanedeyrn Pickers (@PentwynP) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia @WeAreOpenreach @cardiffcouncil @LornaLwyl @Keep_Wales_Tidy I believe this particular one is openreach, just highlighting this is an issue with both companies. One volunteer has previously written to virgin media posting spent wiring with the letters, but this issue it seems is not being addressed adequately across the whole of the UK

  • Thelansdownepub The Lansdowne (@Thelansdownepub) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Phoned @virginmedia to see what they can do about a payment holiday since we are forced to remain closed for the foreseeable and obviously not using any of our broadband services. They offered a discount of half a months bill. Wow. The worst company we have spoken to so far 😰

  • BigDogWrestler Big Dog (@BigDogWrestler) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Annabanana8008 @virginmedia @O2 Good luck to you and don't take any sh*t, you should be fully compensated for the absolute inconvenience. We had a little problem with our provider and they where excellent, understood the issue and before we asked they compensated us.

  • niamunna1 Nige (@niamunna1) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Nyge_79 @virginmedia Same here. Abysmal service. I'm often in a Zoom with 40 other people and I'm the only one who drops out.

  • robkbangor Rob Knowles (@robkbangor) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia we would like to cancel our contract with you but your website is sending us round in circles and it’s impossible to get through to your call centre. You’re taking advantage of the lockdown to rip people off!! 🤬

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Wul147 William Henderson (@Wul147) reported

    @virginmedia Still really not good enough, my broadband has went off about 5 times this afternoon alone, I’m paying for a service I’m not getting. It actually went off whilst I was on the phone to your inept call centre after over half an hour on hold.

  • vulsranh Forgiven Parse Shaming @the thirst shard (@vulsranh) reported

    Sorry i've been slow today, my brain waves use Virgin Media

  • BaldyGroves Tim Groves (@BaldyGroves) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Sorted it myself. Thanks for the reply but ill be leaving virgin media in the new year. Great products. Absolutely god awful customer service. Richard Branson needs to start divering some of his profits back into his customers instead of playing spaceman. Damn shame.

  • edin_hall Jean Hall (@edin_hall) reported

    @virginmedia It was Virgin ( who ran a test and asked me to do various tasks)) who said that I needed an engineer for the internet. I have been trying for weeks to get my tv service fixed. The tv is new so it is not the problem

  • charlottechuck1 🌷president elect charliechucknorris🌻🐾🇬🇧 🇺🇲 (@charlottechuck1) reported

    @Summer26948229 @virginmedia a 50% reduction since my home wifi is down half the time

  • richunitt Run.itt (@richunitt) reported

    Thanks for nothing @virginmedia A customer lost. Not that I guess you're particularly bothered about 1 customer.

  • LPry48 Linda Pryor ⫩ (@LPry48) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi that works! And a CEO and customer service team who has the courtesy to reply to my emails! 🤔

  • __hassan_i Hassan🦁™ (@__hassan_i) reported

    @virginmedia your WiFi is **** it sucks *** and hardly ever works

  • BaldyGroves Tim Groves (@BaldyGroves) reported

    @virginmedia No thank you. It would probably take me 3 days to get connected to your complaint department. Been a loyal customer for more than 20 years but literally had enough. Thanks again for the reply.

  • CCrossfield Claire Crossfield (@CCrossfield) reported

    @virginmedia Hey @virginmedia 2 days and numerous stupid automated texts and my dad still hasn’t spoken to a real person. No channels and no help! Wonder how quick you’d respond if he didn’t pay his Bill! Shocking #CustomerService #badcustomerservice 🤬🤬
