  • 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!

  • AineM15 Aine Murray (@AineM15) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia for anyone who is thinking about switching to virgin media don't. Their £50 refer a friend credit doesn't work and they charge £35 for the activation fee and take the first and second month in advance. So now looking at a bill of over £100. Tried to phone but no use

  • 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!

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

    Holding for 35 minutes for @virginmedia contact centre to try and find out why my WiFi is down guy finally answers asks my name then hangs up - absolutely furious! #terribleservice

  • liltigger74 tracey cooper (@liltigger74) reported from Jordanstown, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia more time spent this weekend trying to fix your equipment , WiFi has worked for around 8 hrs since Friday . Why do your routers never last

  • eire_duchess a grásta (@eire_duchess) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I’m having some issues singing into your website to check the status of an order for a new mobile phone contract can you please help

  • PPLOM1 Sarah Lorimer (@PPLOM1) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    After a nightmare attempt to firstly speak to someone on the phone I spoke with a rude employee. I was assured no more charges . Email just through stating we will be charged double again this month 🙈 #virginmedia

  • 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.

  • AineM15 Aine Murray (@AineM15) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Just tried to phone again and when they transferred me to the complaints department they just hung up. Your customer service is actually appalling

  • oharamal Cllr Mal O’Hara (Castle DEA) Belfast (@oharamal) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I’m currently on hold at 38 minutes waiting to speak to customer service - apparently I’m moving house and reinstalling in Craigavon on 3rd December. I live in belfast and have not planned a move. Apparently resolved weeks ago but a flurry of texts yesterday

  • Love_Antrim @Ŀ❤ѴE_Antrim (@Love_Antrim) reported from Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia when is #Glengormley going to have an end to faults with #boardband. This morning again it's down why why why. Can someone tell me is BT @WeAreOpenreach a better service in Newtownabbey...

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia It’s not working again. Ran the equipment test and it has detected something is wrong. Checked all the cables and no issues there.

  • 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

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

    After a poor response from Amazon. @virginmedia I move to Amazon on TV feather than on V6. Have you #virginmedia got any news or explanation for the poor quality of Amazon on VM V6 stb

  • weeefy weef (@weeefy) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia what's your number for complaints. There's is no option on the customer services menu

  • AineM15 Aine Murray (@AineM15) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Already did that , you are pretty much lying to people taking the first and second month in the first bill. Only have been with you for one month. Your customer team said this was in the terms and conditions. Can guarantee you it's not as I wouldn't have signed up if it was

  • BelfastTory Andrew Fleming (@BelfastTory) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @jst_jelliott @virginmedia Same here. Network is fine but router isn't able to connect to the internet. This happened recently around this time of night a week or so ago. Getting annoying.

  • weeefy weef (@weeefy) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia 3 issues. Virgin tv app slow to log in, doesn't show any of my paid channels. Broadband intermittent this week. Wi-Fi router range is poor in general. No signal in adjoining room.

  • oharamal Cllr Mal O’Hara (Castle DEA) Belfast (@oharamal) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I got through - 1 hour in total on the phone!!! Terrible to have to wait that long. Agent mistake to allocate a disconnect and move to my account. I’m not moving anywhere

  • quigs1888 LanaQuigs1888 (@quigs1888) reported

    @virginmedia It’s becoming a bit ridiculous now, I’m without tv 7 hours. It’s not acceptable I pay a lot of money for this service as do a lot of other customers and there is forever problems! #shouldhavegotsky

  • steveabrooks11 steveabrooks1 (@steveabrooks11) reported

    @virginmedia @tandcbroking Your sorry to hear? You should know that there is an issue with your services that you sell!

  • ste31000 steveh31Youtube (@ste31000) reported

    @ahmadsbhatti @virginmedia telephone and broadband have regulations covering outages, television service does not. Virgin only start to refund people 48 hours after the fault has been reported to them by the customer.

  • JohnKelly020234 John Kelly (@JohnKelly020234) reported

    @virginmedia Your compensation scheme says I need to register the outage, but I can because you have closed your phone lines.

  • newolder Ian E. Consterdine 💙😷 (@newolder) reported

    @virginmedia Your link to outage updates hasn't brought any updates for some time. "Issue with TV services (Updated at 15:30)..." When should we expect the next update?

  • lollipop_24747 Rose Price (@lollipop_24747) reported

    @virginmedia When will this be sorted? I haven't had any service since 11am today.

  • Rockchic65 LM❤ (@Rockchic65) reported

    @virginmedia After the outage this morning, only just realised that no channels have been restored except the basic 4.. What's going on!? Has everyone else got all their TV back to normal?

  • christaylor666 chris taylor (@christaylor666) reported

    @virginmedia Is this a fault from the updates last week you performed as I’ve never known anything like this?
