    Den (@DenMagic) reported from Dunmurry, Northern Ireland

  • Pascalstil
    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

  • 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.

  • RBlackPA
    Rebecca Black (@RBlackPA) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Its sorted, I’m switching to another provider. I’ve never had such a poor customer service experience in my life

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

    @virginmedia It may be an issue you're already aware of but it's going on for 3 days now and not even as much as an email to explain why.

  • Dermo1888
    Dermdog ☭ (@Dermo1888) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Never mind, send me my deadlock letter

  • seansteenson
    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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia I didn’t say it was an instant response service !!! I said that YOUR COLLEAGUE said they couldn’t access account information on social media !!! So they were lying then? This would seem the case if you are now asking me to provide the complaint reference?

  • 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'.

  • deewoodvalemufc
    David Simpson (@deewoodvalemufc) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia There’s been issues with it ever since it was installed! K for keck . Richard balloon head sort it out to ****

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

    @virginmedia No! I've just spent 26 minutes trying to get through, so I'm just going to pester you on here instead. I've raised three separate complaints to no avail. My only recourse is public humiliation. For a communications company you're really very poor at it.

  • bernardmccabe
    Ben McCabe (@bernardmccabe) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia 4 days since internet cut off and still no sign of fixing it. While I’m paying a stupid amount for the privilege.

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

    @virginmedia @TaylorMod Yes we've checked, the world and its granny knows VM is down in Belfast but this has been since Monday now. Absolutely ridiculous. Cost me a fortune on data when I moved and VM kept getting the addres wrong, was well over a month without the service and this was 2 months ago.

    @virginmedia The status page says everything is ok but when I phoned the advisor said there was a problem in the area.

  • 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

  • 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?

    Gloucester Glass (@gloucesterglass) reported

    @virginmedia I appreciate you taking the time to reply but I am now looking at alternatives. My home internet drops out far too often and mobile signal in Quedgeley is no way good enough for 21st Century.

  • stevied151181
    STEPHEN (@stevied151181) reported

    @virginmedia I've just had a lovely chat with Kameer to renew my contract. He was polite, friendly and helpful. Please make sure he's praised for his customer service. 5🌟

  • G99____
    G99 (@G99____) reported

    @BingoBertie @RichardLXXII @virginmedia Yes you clearly have no clue about the wording of the contract. Contracts have a fixed period and if you are smart you have discounts. They however have a fixed period, so if you let them run out the contract continues without them. So what your are suggesting is bad

  • RobElliot266
    Robert Elliot (@RobElliot266) reported

    @virginmedia a more than 24 hour outage to TV & Broadband in TW2? Taking at least 7 hours to get an engineer onsite? Not very impressive.

  • Foredeck99
    Foredeck (@Foredeck99) reported

    @virginmedia When I repeatedly, politely tell your tele sales team to remove my name from your calling list they fail to do so, I am sometimes getting multiple daily calls from you. Execrable customer service, 0/10.

  • paz565
    Paz DLXV (@paz565) reported

    @O2 The whole 'customer service' provided by O2 in relation to this matter has been nothing short of appalling. As O2 is now associated with Virgin Media, I will be taking the earliest opportunity available to switch the services I have with them too.

  • G99____
    G99 (@G99____) reported

    @BingoBertie @RichardLXXII @virginmedia Worst advice ever!! This is not un agreed discounts will have ended

  • jonblackbsb
    Jonathan Black (@jonblackbsb) reported

    @virginmedia All I am getting is a bot replying to check the issue in the area At least 16 household know there is an ongoing issue for months Please resolve this rather than with fobbing us off with direction to plug and unplug etc

  • kaytydaty
    Kay (@kaytydaty) reported

    @virginmedia Had emails to swap old TiVo box to new 360 one. Ordered one 29th May, got confirmation email but heard nothing since? Can you help please, thanks
