  • clairekerrbear (Phínula) Claire Kerr (@clairekerrbear) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Your company is the worst I've had to deal with. You do not answer the phone or on line. The last I heard of you was when I signed up. My signal in my home is absolutely useless. The only part of my house I have a proper signal is my living room.

  • clairekerrbear (Phínula) Claire Kerr (@clairekerrbear) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I have never got through on the phone to anyone. I just gave up and sitting out my 18 months contract. I would not have left @skytv if they had not over charged my account with no refund.

  • sduffy10 Shea Duffy (@sduffy10) reported from Lurgan, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia is it possible to make available the bt sports channels on your subscription if you already have bt sport directly through BT? Or is there an app etc you can sign into #Help #VirginMedia #BTSport

  • clairekerrbear (Phínula) Claire Kerr (@clairekerrbear) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    Anyone else having more problems than usual with @Virgin @virginmedia .... I had a phone call from them this morning, which I answered and they hung up. Now nothing is working and I have rebooted everything and still nothing. No internet or TV. 😤

  • clairekerrbear (Phínula) Claire Kerr (@clairekerrbear) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    @MrDutchyDutch @Virgin @virginmedia I'm totally feed up with Virgin and I regret the day I ever took them on. If I walk past the Router I lose my signal on my phone !!! 😤

  • clairekerrbear (Phínula) Claire Kerr (@clairekerrbear) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia The phone lines never get answered even without today's " outrage ".

  • Jimmaguire44 Jim Maguire (@Jimmaguire44) reported from Lurgan, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I upgraded my channels on Friday via telephone (after a wk of trying) and they are still not accessible. Can you help fix this pls?

  • bigmaverick1 BIG MAVERICK🍀🇮🇪🍀 (@bigmaverick1) reported from Lurgan, Northern Ireland

    @celticghirl_bee @Gerrykeogh2002 @virginmedia If they bump up the prices unexpectedly mid contract you have the right to cancel as they are in breach of contract! You can contact them to remove the increase or cancel altogether #ThatsTheLaw!

  • clairekerrbear (Phínula) Claire Kerr (@clairekerrbear) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I have tested my wifi speed and it is so low. (I know I am not on my own why I say your company cannot be contacted or choose to not answer queries). I've been paying over the odds for an inadequate service. Looking forward to my contract finishing.

  • Fitman99 sean collins (@Fitman99) reported from Craigavon, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia how can I get talking to someone as want to leave as internet is poor?

  • BigSighZ400 Simon I Caulfield (@BigSighZ400) reported from Craigavon, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia hi, I would like to terminate my contract please.

  • clairekerrbear (Phínula) Claire Kerr (@clairekerrbear) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia To be honest the cable covers have been the least of my problems with #virginmedia, my whole experience has been totally regrettable from day one. The only place in my home with internet coverage is my living room.

  • clairekerrbear (Phínula) Claire Kerr (@clairekerrbear) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia This is the worst provider I have ever had. Not once have you ever answered my calls with constant on going problems and that was before today's fiasco. I won't be renewing my any contract with you and the quicker my contract is up the better.

  • Michael31674926 Michael Cullen (@Michael31674926) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    Virgin media is not all that it says performance dreadful both their customer service and there NOT super fast internet

  • clairekerrbear (Phínula) Claire Kerr (@clairekerrbear) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I have tested the line, perfect signal in living room, practically nothing in my bedroom.

  • clairekerrbear (Phínula) Claire Kerr (@clairekerrbear) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia It's no better at all. I only have good signal in my living room and if I move around the house I lose connection every single time.

  • rnelson7271 Richard (@rnelson7271) reported from Dromore, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia yes. virgin does not appear. John I get service when I move away from the Dromore mast so it's definitely a local issue

  • rnelson7271 Richard (@rnelson7271) reported from Dromore, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia were you able to check the mast in Dromore to see if there is an issue

  • clairekerrbear (Phínula) Claire Kerr (@clairekerrbear) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    @MrDutchyDutch @Virgin @virginmedia My TV has just come back on. I can't wait for my contract to be over. Virgin have never one answered the phone to help throughout my time with them. 😡

  • clairekerrbear (Phínula) Claire Kerr (@clairekerrbear) reported from Armagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I haven't been satisfied with the broadband connection from installation. I lose signal walking by the hub, never mind the rest of my home. I've given up trying to get help.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • evematthewsMPH eve🦋 (@evematthewsMPH) reported

    @virginmedia Our internet is online now, but we have just been billed £52 for our first ‘month’ of wifi, when it has just been working for a week. We are due financial (Ofcom law) compensation due to 19 days of no service. Where can we claim this, and who can we make another complaint to?

  • Chellonia Michelle Green (@Chellonia) reported

    @virginmedia Poor customer service and dodgy dealing. Asked for WiFi pods (much hassle), told "totally free of charge". Sent new contract by email, I did not agree to or was even made aware of. Sent another one for more £ next day. Got a call from call centre to "improve my sub".

  • evematthewsMPH eve🦋 (@evematthewsMPH) reported

    @virginmedia We were promised by Virgin employees on Online chat that it would be resolved on the day, and that we would get a phone call, which never happened. The customer service has been shocking, and we have also never received the £100 voucher we were promised when we joined.

  • fdoug23 Frank Douglas, Hon. PhD. (@fdoug23) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, there is 'known' area service problem. It has been 'known' for the last three weeks and the whole neighbourhood has been without service since last Friday. Some have already left for BT; I'm on the brink.

  • petevick Pete Vickers (@petevick) reported

    @pete_codes @virginmedia Beware - internal Wi-Fi coverage is abysmal, and all they offer to fix it is to rent you Wi-Fi extenders. I gave up and bought a mesh system to overcome the shortcomings.

  • Sandwich247 Sandwich247 (@Sandwich247) reported

    @virginmedia I don't have a WhatsApp, but I've managed to get around the issue It was an issue with DNS

  • Ade1701 Ade1701 (@Ade1701) reported

    @virginmedia None of the handsets give a dial tone at all, but the website insists there’s no problem.

  • debz_parr Debbie Parr (@debz_parr) reported

    @tammiew @SkyHelpTeam Do not switch to virgin media, just as awful.

  • campers_moll Lindsey 🇬🇧 Defend Free Speech🇬🇧 (@campers_moll) reported

    @virginmedia can you just put it up that VM is having problems, save everyone time. Maybe say what the issue is and is it cascading? Keep us in the loop

  • agdbrooks Amy Brooks (@agdbrooks) reported

    @virginmedia Nope, no known issues
