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

    Yet a new LOW in crappy “customer service” from @Virginmedia - letter saying they have been trying to contact me (still waiting for a callback from 26/8/20) no attempts made and to text a number to get someone to contact me ...... guess what an automated system that gets

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

    @virginmedia No. YOU need to talk to me. YOU need to tell me what's going on. YOU need to sort out your woefully inadequate 'customer service'.

  • niscaffolding
    Robert Andrews (@niscaffolding) reported from Whiteabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Still no WiFi in the house and no on hold for another 55min today all I need is an engineer out as the boost you keep doing is not working no matter how many times I boos reboot the system? I’m sure an engineer can solve the problem please just send one out.

  • SwissKrono_JH
    Johnny Hamilton (@SwissKrono_JH) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Don’t be so ridiculous. The app crashed you couldn’t even login. Utter shambles

  • BelfastBooks
    Belfast B❄️❄️ks (@BelfastBooks) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Well done to @virginmedia’s off shore support team for taking a loyal customer of 24 years, treating them so insensitively that they’ve now cancelled their contract and will go elesewhere for phone, broadband and TV.

  • 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.

  • mfearonmusic
    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.

    Nadean (@nadean_ni) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia The link only states there are problems in the area, not why or how long we should be expected to be without the service.

  • nadean_ni
    Nadean (@nadean_ni) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia both tv and broadband have been down for well over 24 hours now. Not good enough! Any reason for this?

  • dryder11
    Daniel Ryder (@dryder11) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia holding for over an hour to speak to customer services - hung up and rang the sales as a “new customer” answered within 3 rings. I appreciate that your limited with staff but don’t forget your existing customers #frustrating

  • 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

  • ASMagency
    @AgentSWhelan (@ASMagency) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I’ve been on the phone 3 hours already to try and cancel my broadband/tv services and had my mobile phone cut off. Horrendous the time it takes to cancel

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

    @virginmedia can you please explain why the best price as a loyal customer for years is 30 pound more expensive than a new customer. Can’t even get through to right department to cancel

  • Hudd84
    Conor Huddleston (@Hudd84) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    No Internet for 2 days now @virginmedia no facility to speak to anyone, book a technician or anything else for that matter. Your help text is quite frankly useless in this situation. Please provide a method to get this resolved ASAP. Awful service.

  • niscaffolding
    Robert Andrews (@niscaffolding) reported from Whiteabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia tried for over a week now to sort my WiFi out managed to get talking to one of your guys today who couldn’t fix the problem. I was told he will call back in 30min with nothing can someone HELP?

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia So tired hearing excuse after EXCUSE after EXCUSE from @virginmedia - your “customer service” has been appalling over the last 5 months and this is NOT the first time you have failed! You have blamed EVERYTHING except your poor service !!!

    Need to log on to @virginmedia to cancel my contract and the website appears to not work when using their broadband 🤔. Somewhat convenient that.

  • leolionmark
    😊🎬🎥🔴Mark Anthony🔴📺📷😊 (@leolionmark) reported

    @GGNDRiRock @virginmedia Had to go to apps and sign in again, what am i paying @virginmedia for to avoid all this crap!

  • CarryOnGemma
    CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reported

    What now? @VirginMedia? I have tried to sign into my account to claim the reimbursement from not having the products you charge from dad. He should be getting a hefty rebate. Yet, you now can't sign me into the account because it's not connected to O2. So I tried that and you've blocked me because I have used the email to sign in too much. The email that is connected to the account. Then the phone number too much. If you don't fix this before I call you in the next twenty-four hours I'll take this to the courts which you have your bots saying people can't. Get me to let me sign in.

    Steve George🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@George66Steve) reported

    @lennylaw @virginmedia What's the number? Companies don't like to be contacted directly these days and finding contact numbers is often very difficult. You'd be performing a public service by letting us all know what Virgin's is.

  • Ailsa56202286
    Ailsa (@Ailsa56202286) reported

    @virginmedia why do you make it SO DIFFICULT to cancel and waive the fee - I’ve asked for an extension of time to prove my new address and 5 agents have told me this has been extended- call up today NO - my payment is overdue MAY AS WELL TALK TO MYSELF - take some responsibility

  • MindOfYouya
    Youya (@MindOfYouya) reported

    @virginmedia PLEASE for the love of god fix your spotty internet connection issues! This has become a weekly norm where im having to face issues! I am paying £40+ a month and having to deal with this nonsense

    @marypaul32 @virginmedia Every organisation appears to be incompetent. Its on such a grand scale now that it seems deliberate because such things do stress the human bodi. We got hold of Asda mobile and thei said it could take 2 days to fix but it's on now. I am way behind with stuff though. 8wks ombdsma

    Virgin Media shyte TV is a joke. You'd be convinced the issue was Elon Musk, and not the beheading.
