    @virginmedia @Sathnam What about helping the original poster @PippaCrerar as well, or do you only help famous people?

    @virginmedia Any update on this? No reported faults, restarted my virgin box, @All4 app still not working.

    @theboardlfc @virginmedia It’s terrible. Mine was fine until lockdown started then it dropped to on average 8mb! Called a few times to be told it was fine. Only for preferring Virgin TV I would have changed a while back. There are many with the same story

    @virginmedia I'm shocked how poor you treat your customers. I cancelled my service 10 days ago and somehow you talked me into staying... but then failed to live up to your promises again... I have cancelled today. Thank God for the 14 cooling off period. #Broadband #complaint

    @JohnWant6 @virginmedia I’ve got the same in Belfast BT5, @virginmedia network down, “C133 Network Availability” error

    Ian Moran (@ianmoran) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    So is YouTube buffering a thing now ? Running Speedtest on my Apple TV i get 330/40 with Virgin Media and yet pretty much all videos will initially have buffering issues

    Michael Fearon (@mfearonmusic) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Then I noticed that I was missing the children’s channels. I called and got it sorted but I was told the new bill will show as £150 odd but not to worry a manager will be applying discount, that never happened.

  • jai_dee
    Jim Doran (@jai_dee) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Just the one channel. The picture is jerking and freezing and has been for a good week now. As I said every other channel appears to be perfectly fine, it's just a problem with @wchannel

  • DenMagic
    Den (@DenMagic) reported from Dunmurry, Northern Ireland

    Down again @virginmedia in BT17. Came back on but I am paying for a service that cuts off several times a day. Not on.

    Sean Steenson (@seansteenson) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Ive had some scary experiences with customer service but as always @virginmedia always take the Oscar for worst customer service performance. #virginmedia

    @virginmedia WiFi down again, heap of sh*ttttttt

  • courtexplores_
    Courtney Briscoe Photography📸 (@courtexplores_) reported from Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia hi, I’d like to file an official complaint about a manager who refused to pass us higher than his position, tried to force us to cancel our service and threatened to close the case while it’s still unresolved

  • J_el9
    Jen Elwood (@J_el9) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia WiFi down every day now, engineer out this morning, outage in area (BT5) , 4pm fix, box on the street needs seen too. 20 years old! 3 households all told different stories.. get it sorted! One neighbour on hold for over 60 mins only to be hung up on! 😡😡

  • beezlebum
    Sir Bee (@beezlebum) reported from Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia No! It's your issue with your equipment. You should be keeping me, as a valued customer, informed. I've spent hours listening to crap music waiting to get information about this. Then being lied to. Do better.

  • mfearonmusic
    Michael Fearon (@mfearonmusic) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I called again on Saturday to resolve this again and I was told this was a crazy amount of discount and that any TL or manager would find it difficult to approve. After hours on the phone and all Managment unable to help, I’ve now been advised to make a complaint.

  • RobTuomey
    Rob Tuomey 👑 (@RobTuomey) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I’m unable to get any internet on my phone. I’ve had to log on to wifi to send this tweet. Is there something happening with the network at the moment?

  • davmacfc
    Dale McDonald (@davmacfc) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia No it’s not fair at all John, I’ve been a loyal customer of virgin for quite a few years and the price increases along with the differential to new customers have got too much. Soon to be an ex customer if I can get through to your call centre @skytv any thing you can offer

  • peterhkirk
    Pete Kirk (@peterhkirk) reported from Ballyclare, Northern Ireland

    When is @virginmedia going to be called to order by authorities. How is possible they get away with customers on hold for hours, broadband service levels vastly below power and to rub salt in, @virginmedia think it is acceptable to increase their fees? Enough is enough, @CISASUK!

  • davidannett7
    David Annett (@davidannett7) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @JakeOKane @virginmedia Customer service are a complete shambles, probably the worst out there

  • larmour_andre
    Andrew Larmour (@larmour_andre) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @AdeMcCann @virginmedia Same here BT6. Am very lucky am a mile from the office and in I went. But cut off at home with no warning and government advising us to work from home, this is poor.

  • MakelyStudio
    Ali@Makely (@MakelyStudio) reported

    10+ years. 50M+ users. £11M+ revenue impact. Mercedes. Citibank. Sky. Virgin Media. NatWest. Here's what I learned: Bad product flows can cost thousands, or even millions, in lost revenue. Regardless of company size. What kills conversions in big-name products does the same for startups: - Onboarding that loses people in the first 60 secs - Pricing pages that confuse instead of convert - Sign-up flows that cause decision fatigue I’ve seen that when you fix these - you get more from the traffic you already have. Now I build those same systems for funded startups - so they keep the users they've already paid to get.

    Arron Clinkscales (@Clinkyboy67) reported

    @virginmedia 2: you contact Virgin through their App and they tell you it will take another 4 or 5 days for an engineer to "visit" when you have nowt !!! You raise a complaint to be told a manager will get back to you within 24 /48 HOUR Please share this with @virginmedia

  • MurrayCairan
    cairan_murray (@MurrayCairan) reported

    @virginmedia I can see the virgin cables outside my house and the 2 spliter connection that virgin use to connect the TV and Internet, I know the last tennant had virgin but for some reason you guys seem adamant that I won’t be a virgin customer

  • duncanpemberton
    Duncan P⭐️⭐️ (@duncanpemberton) reported

    @virginmedia hi guys, Any sign of the virgin hub 5 being available to send me? I was told I could have one around 6 months ago after a long conversation but never heard anything since! Regards Duncan

  • 43mccauley
    Stephen McCauley (@43mccauley) reported

    @virginmedia No. Got down to about 25 seconds behind. Not good enough for the price I pay

    @virginmedia Since your O2 merger, your website has been absolute dogshite. Can't view bill, can't cancel, nothing loads etc. Nice work!

  • ukaldo2
    aldo (@ukaldo2) reported

    @virginmedia The service has now been maintained but on us to ensure that's the case. You shouldn't have had one of your sales reps pressure my mother night after night without checking a service could be provided within your budget

    @O2 There’s really no point as nothing ever changes! And when Virgin Media goes down (which happens far too often) I have zero means of communication. The price hike was the last straw really - time to move to another provider.
