    Seán MacAoidh (@SeanJPMcKee) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I opted out of marketing, it’s from your sales team trying to stop my from switching my service, it’s overkill especially as I’ve already had the conversation with your agents about it.

  • TrevorAKilleen
    Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Why would I do that!? I am still waiting for a response through a formal complaint from 4 months ago and I am still waiting for that call back from 26/8/20 !!!! YOU DO NOT TREAT CUSTOMERS WITH RESPECT!! People should avoid using your company !! And I will continue to share that!!

    @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

    Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia yet another example of horrendous service from @virginmedia - “too busy” to deal with my call so disconnected me..... online service that I was directed to .... cannot make the changes I need .... not providing service but guess what .... still charging me !!!

    Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) 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?

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

    @virginmedia Having spent nearly three hours tonight trying to speak with someone with no luck I would like to know how customers get in touch, how they can get a solid service and when @virginmedia will cop onto what is acceptable as a business provider?? 😡

  • StripeyMiata
    Jonathan McCormack (@StripeyMiata) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Also, on the Virgin Media support forums, loads of people complaining text cancelling isn’t working either, hence I wrote.

    Pascal Stil (@Pascalstil) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia The housemate who's connection it is has been in contact many times, apparently on Monday he was told permission was needed from the account holder of the new connection, who jas not been contacted about that, and it also sounds too stupid to be true

    @virginmedia you've surpassed yourselves this time! 50 days without broadband and yet another promised date of reconnection passed with no communication or explanation. I refuse to waste another sunny weekend waiting for your useless 'customer services' to lie to me.

    @entrustTMF @Gary1165 @virginmedia What issue are you having? I have yellow light flashing since yesterday. Their technical support is closed. Done troubleshooting and all and nothing.

  • thatluckygirl4
    nini ☆ (@thatluckygirl4) reported

    @virginmedia hi can you please get back to me? been trying to get in touch about this for 2 weeks now and got charged a late payment fee, on top of this, the wifi connection has been really slow

  • rouse_sue
    Sue Rouse💙 🇺🇦 (@rouse_sue) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is appalling. Keep being given the run around and no action. Hate to do it this way.

  • justarieldotcom
    Ariel Online (@justarieldotcom) reported

    @NotEnoughTECH @virginmedia @virginmedia used to be one of if not the best broadband provider in the UK. They even won some customer service awards x years ago if i remember correctly. At one point everything just fell apart. Customer service became non existent, they started to treat customers unfairly and many other issues. I wonder what happened tbh🤔

  • AndrewW12290183
    Andy W (@AndrewW12290183) reported

    @virginmedia Why did You take £90 out of my account in case I don't send the equipment back ? Thing is I'm still waiting for the returns package from you. Or is another ploy to take more money like when you signed me up for a TV subscription I never asked for.

  • socialshazza
    ✫ Sharon Bellamy 🦖 (@socialshazza) reported

    I chose @vmbusiness becuase I had this mess before with BT letting me down .. I work from home, how am I going to do that with no connectivity? Teather from my phone? I am an IT person .. lets see how that works out (2 of 2)

  • DavMichael
    mike davies (@DavMichael) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been sent a new router and it won’t let me connect any devices to it it’s a hub 5. I followed the instructions on the box to the letter. I’ve tried ringing the support number on the box which is completely automated and useless. Any advise ?

  • miaKJKJ22
    mia (@miaKJKJ22) reported

    @entrustTMF @Gary1165 @virginmedia But what did they tell you? What type of issue this is? Router? When I go on their app to check connection in my place, it says all perfect. But I've no connection!! I can't wait few days as I'm working from home
