    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

  • 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.

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

    Once again, @virginmedia dropping speeds and service going down in Dunmurry. No one can help and they don't respond to complaints but they are hiking price next month 🤔 #virginmediadown

    @virginmedia Working now but annoying as has taken most of afternoon up... now waiting for pc to reboot and virgin media chat doesn't work on phone so kept being given to runaround and redirected to faq pages. .such a faff

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

  • aaronmacn
    Aaron (@aaronmacn) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia if I’m gonna follow you support service, to text a problem to you, surely me waiting 48 hours later with no reply is a bit too long?

  • 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!

  • christine160586
    christine (@christine160586) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia @Francesca090900 There us no option for loss of TV service, only for broadband and calls.

  • 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

  • AndrewJMolloy
    Andrew Molloy (@AndrewJMolloy) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

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

  • Conor1971
    Sam “Ace” Rothstein 🇪🇺 (@Conor1971) reported from Dunmurry, Northern Ireland

    @martinmcnally53 @virginmedia It’s supposed to be some super fast internet but it’s broken more than it works and can’t change because of the contract

  • 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

  • radiogeordie
    Geordie On Your Radio 📻🔊 (@radiogeordie) reported from Ballyclare, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia any update on the cabinet outage in BT39?

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

    Imagine being miss sold a product and no manager can resolve the issue, even after a month!, shocking @virginmedia #virginmedia

  • radiogeordie
    Geordie On Your Radio 📻🔊 (@radiogeordie) reported from Ballyclare, Northern Ireland

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

  • JaneHolohan
    Jane Emir Holohan (@JaneHolohan) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Yes I have - it happens every evening around 10pm - a friend in BT7 has the same problem, we are BT10 ? What happens at 10pm ?

  • DarkOldWolf
    Jon (@DarkOldWolf) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @staggy_dev @bradley_steve @virginmedia Is it still down for you in east?

  • FuscoTV
    Angelina Fusco (@FuscoTV) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Dreadful #biz service @virginmedia all day and evening. To add to the problem @ITVX also stuttering

  • 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.

    @virginmedia I am going round in circles. I’ve DM’d you several times and NEVER get a reply. Terrible customer service.

  • phykell
    Phykell (@phykell) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Doesn’t surprise me one bit. Definitely the worst brand as well.

  • ollyp3
    Ollyp3 (@ollyp3) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Wait - you have to stay on a contract or cancel. Why can't they just cancel what you were sold, give you the compensation (which they are legally required to on Ofcom auto compensation anyway for lost connectivity) and fix your service urgently. I cannot believe you are being held to a missed contract without the perks of said contract! Apalling

  • TracyFi31470652
    Tracy Field (@TracyFi31470652) reported

    @TonyDabell @mark_wootten @virginmedia yep virgin are dire and don’t get me started on trying to speak to someone in another country as they don’t give a ****

  • Luv_Farmers
    Chrissie (@Luv_Farmers) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I'm surprised that an investigative journalist even accepted these conditions in the 1st place. VM has an awful reputation for this kind of behaviour which is widely known. Sorry this happened to you but it was to be expected

  • GillGRobs
    Gill 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🩵 (@GillGRobs) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Really? They just sent me a new 360 box as they said mine wasn't recording properly yet I had no problems with it, they have ripped me off since I changed the account into my name from my late partners, no difference just a name change ive now been forced into a new contract.

  • KrYpt923317
    KrYpt (@KrYpt923317) reported

    @Benleo Disgusting customer service. I’ve had many issues with then. Financial Ombudsman Service have always helped, but now they’ve changed regulators, who are almost as bad as VM. Virgin Media just hiding behind a great product.

  • mandy83906280
    mandy (@mandy83906280) reported

    @Benleo They, Virgin media are terrible. I'm with Plusnet now, wonderful customer service, always speak to an English person in UK, they pick up quick too.

  • nightrider20244
    Ian 🇬🇧 (@nightrider20244) reported

    @Benleo @CherryFaves0 @virginmedia They are useless the call centre staff are clueless I was only trying to be able to log into account on line and change bank details with them still never got it done all time I was with them I had to ring up every month to pay bill the only thing they understand is taking money

  • MKE4612
    Mick (@MKE4612) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Make sure you announce which show you'll be showing this on, I would be very interested to watch. There are so many horror stories of people who are vulnerable and getting scammed by these mainstream companies like Virgin. **** them up Ben.
