    @virginmedia brilliant service. Quick call to downgrade package/pause sports 35 mins hold and call just terminates. Bet if I stop paying the what is it £105 a month I’ll be cut off in minutes and phoned constantly for the outstanding money.

  • a_golonka Agnieszka Golonka (@a_golonka) reported from Whiteabbey, Northern Ireland

    @jadey_voorhees @virginmedia They really are, I don’t know how they still exist! Try sky, and because you work within abbeycenter guys will give you discount, they did for me as well. Means if any issues as well you don’t have to phone customer services, they will be able to sort it out for you on the spot!

  • nextofkindler Gavin Wilson (@nextofkindler) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia so we contacted u yesterday at approx 330pm to complain about service or lack of and after being bounced about, we were told a manger would contact us within a 2hour period. We are still waiting. Absolutely terrible customer service to date!

  • MarkLunn Lord Mark Lunn (@MarkLunn) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I was wondering why I was getting more phone calls to the house and crap phishing emails, now I know the reason 😡

  • seanddotmedotuk Sean D (@seanddotmedotuk) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @StephenStitt @virginmedia Their customer service team are fairly decent if you give them a call when they are available tomorrow. (They will probably ask you do do everything you've tried yourself though)

  • Jay_McB Jason Brown (@Jay_McB) reported from Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia No! I have logged onto @primevideouk on another device and it works. So my account is fine. But it's not working on my V6 box and I have missed the first half of the match.

  • nextofkindler Gavin Wilson (@nextofkindler) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia We have had new boosters sent out and recently a new hub to try to solve the problems but still they remain unresolved. This situation needs addressed as we are currently paying for a service that we aren’t receiving

  • PattersonFionaA Fiona Patterson (@PattersonFionaA) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia we’re all trying to work from home and the internet is down! You’ve got to be kidding! Sort it out please #virginmedia @Andypat3

  • a_golonka Agnieszka Golonka (@a_golonka) reported from Whiteabbey, Northern Ireland

    @jadey_voorhees @virginmedia Honestly they are horrible, we changed to sky. Their customer service is terrible, up to 1 h waiting on the phone after having to press all the options... just for them to put you on hold and hang up! Took me over 1 week of phoning to finally cancel the contract!

    @virginmedia still no help? What is the point.

  • Christo62584173 BR1NGTH3P4YNE (@Christo62584173) reported

    @virginmedia Every time I see some of your sales reps in the town I live in, Im standing next to them and warning off people and letting them know how **** your service is. ABSOLUTELY TRASH

  • rogsie Rosie Ogle (@rogsie) reported

    @virginmedia my service has been temporarily disconnected- can someone reconnect it as I didn't ask for it to be disconnected?

  • CraigWoodroffe Craig Woodroffe (@CraigWoodroffe) reported

    So here we are again @virginmedia ..... i pay a lot of money for the full service and am told 'you don't have access to skysports' even though that is in the package. I reiterate to all, the product is appealing and cancel ASAP....

  • Rulesfortheeno1 heretobenosey (@Rulesfortheeno1) reported

    What an absolute shower of ****!! #virginmedia is down for the umpteenth time today. Not worked properly for weeks!

  • yodulit 🇹🇿 (@yodulit) reported

    @virginhelp @JudieannRose @virginmedia I doubt you will receive help to whoever was “tagged”. This is just constant abuse of failure to provide legitimate service for the amount that they are charging every month.

  • CoximusPrime1 Coxy (@CoximusPrime1) reported

    @virginmedia broadband down yet again in the SM7 area. This 'service' you're providing is getting abysmal and no longer fit for purpose.
