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

    @virginmedia I'm shocked how poor you treat your customers. I cancelled my service 10 days ago and somehow you talked me into staying... but then failed to live up to your promises again... I have cancelled today. Thank God for the 14 cooling off period. #Broadband #complaint

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

    @virginmedia Nearly an hour trying to call. I have better things to be doing on a Saturday. This is atrocious. All I want is an explanation as to why I have been denied a service for two months and lied to repeatedly.

  • lilmissymoo90 Lauren Blair♥ (@lilmissymoo90) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

  • bertford bertford no DMs (@bertford) reported from Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    @sabele26 @Kat_Bee_123 @virginmedia Terrible none of them have good customer service, sky's as bad.

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

    @virginmedia Never mind, send me my deadlock letter

  • BeauSooth Gerry McCrudden (@BeauSooth) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia "I am really so sorry that you are looking to cancel the services which I will need to get you connected with our customer relations team who will be able to help you further..." I had to ring on a different day as I had no more time that day

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

    @virginmedia you've surpassed yourselves this time! 50 days without broadband and yet another promised date of reconnection passed with no communication or explanation. I refuse to waste another sunny weekend waiting for your useless 'customer services' to lie to me.

  • Flomoll Annie Mc Cartney (@Flomoll) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Just another day of poor @virginmedia service. Going crazy. All that money and useless service. Can’t get through on phone. Insane.

  • CllrMichaelLong Michael Long (@CllrMichaelLong) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @superbowler4 @virginmedia They are terrible.

  • isabelsbaby kimbo (@isabelsbaby) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I rang the number spoke to a lady who put me through to another dept where I spoke to lady called Jam. She sd her supervisor wud call me after lunch guess what? He didn't. I need ure company to contact ME or im leaving. Horrendous customer service. Kim

  • 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.

  • jerrylangradio Jerry Lang (@jerrylangradio) reported from Holywood, Northern Ireland

    Hey Virgin Media Business… what’s with the bad service.. no service all day… not a good service at all..!! @virginmedia

  • johnpbell John Bell (@johnpbell) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Broadband is very temperamental. I’ve tried all the suggestions, reset the hub etc. It fixes the issue temporarily but seems to often revert to very poor speeds. Hub 3. Sometimes speeds show as fine, but on all devices the speed is poor.

  • Gregport1Mc Micheal McGrath (@Gregport1Mc) reported from Donaghadee, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Recently got fibre installed but need some boosters to improve signal - please advise how to proceed

  • Anna_McD91 Anna Poland (@Anna_McD91) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia worst service ever. Who can I speak to about cancelling a contract that has never gone more than 3 days without freezing and buffering?

  • MarkMcL60727750 Mark McLaughlin (@MarkMcL60727750) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I am not happy with my Internet speeds. I have been a virgin customer for 3 years and have been told that I apparently have too many devices connected which I have never heard of with any previous provider. I have 100mbps and have had nothing but slow lagging stream

  • DJJarlath 🎧Jarlath🎙️ (@DJJarlath) reported from Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia can you please let me know if there is a problem with my internet connection BT36 5HF Northern Ireland

  • johnpbell John Bell (@johnpbell) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

    .@virginmedia I’ve been waiting for 40 mins and counting. At no point am I told what place I am in the queue nor expected waiting times. Very poor. Can you please arrange a call back as I’m not prepared to wait those sort of times again with no idea of how long it’s likely to be.

  • 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.

  • 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'.

  • linda_linney Linda Cunningham (@linda_linney) reported

    @virginmedia Thats all very well that you are aware of it and were working to fix it and as far as I'm aware it is but it's happening more and more often and it's getting beyond a joke. We pay a lot of money for a service that seems to having nothing but problems these day.

  • Rohan25075863 Rohan (@Rohan25075863) reported

    @virginmedia Dear virgin. My normal channels are functioning, but I can't connect to Netflix, Amazon prime, iPlayer. Please help! 🆘

  • Xobia3 my..name..is..gloomily (@Xobia3) reported

    @virginmedia Is this outage also why my wifi hasn't been working for over ten hours now?

  • alchemyintheuk Alchemy in the UK (@alchemyintheuk) reported

    @virginmedia @ChrisN1978 “Is there an known issue in your area?” Message from @virginmedia own online bot (no humans bothering to answer phone). Ironic approach that the customer is expected to solve your problems for you do you not think? Surely you should be aware of your own issues and solve them?

  • holby781 holby78 (@holby781) reported

    @virginmedia Yes still have issue with Wi-Fi speed and red light on router, it’s not overheating though

  • Juliadoe51 JuliaDoe (@Juliadoe51) reported

    @silverrich39 I no longer use Virgin Media services but on a couple of occasions in the past when I have been temporarily without service they have waived charges.....worth pursuing

  • Rehhvenge Litz Revenge Z8 🐪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 🇵🇰 (@Rehhvenge) reported

    Here’s why I don’t ******* hit because this **** *** internet🤬 @virginmedia

  • AzureSpark Mike (@AzureSpark) reported

    Pt 5 @virginmedia Today I make a comment on your feed and you give me a number to text to resolve my issues and complaint. Here is the result of that. 8 Hours later I am still texting replies and awaiting a person to phone me, especially a manager.

  • cantliff9 Jonathan Cantliff (@cantliff9) reported

    @virginmedia your outage page hasn't been updated since 15:30. Also, I've noted you keep giving people the link to the service status page (which goes through my virgin media) - that is also down for maintenance. Get it together guys!

  • willoo10 willie dowdall (@willoo10) reported

    @virginmedia Can't even pay your bill nothing but trouble with this lot and never a refund or anything
