  • shannonruddock_ shannon (@shannonruddock_) reported from Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland

    Ben tried contacting @virginmedia because someone has ****** up our account during our house move. He was ignored and could hear the girl typing in the background. He tried saying hello repetitively but no one responded. Not acceptable to treat your customers this way!!!!

  • andyweir93 Andy. (@andyweir93) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @PhilipLennon @SkyIreland @VirginMediaIE Had exactly the same issue when we moved in here, Phil! Only to be told it would be another 4 weeks before an engineer could come out. Cancelled and went to @virginmedia - up and running 2 days after. Thank you. Good night.

  • pmakgreb10 Patrick O Toole (@pmakgreb10) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia twice now in a week where i have had no tv/broadband , once when it was off for over 12 hrs and now it suggests we wont have a service until 4pm tomorrow. Not good enough. I pay a subscription to watch live sport and i cant watch it. I want some form of compensation

  • BIGT_REV Trevor Gilliland (@BIGT_REV) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia again transferred into a hold music queue after telling the representative I didn’t want to be put in another queue #shockingservice #badcustomerservice @Ofcom will be getting a complaint logged

  • gemmacaddell86 gemma (@gemmacaddell86) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia honestly your customer service is disgrace. your advisor gave false info to get a sale last wk as confirmed by your advisor on my call today, repeatedly put on a silent hold with no signposting so it sounded like been disconnected, blind transferred then systems down

  • 93DominicSF Dominic Sherry Adams (@93DominicSF) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia customer service is atrocious! Meant to be open to 8PM...but advisors just hanging up the phone instead of answering. Asking us to leave...

  • Dross1114 Ross (@Dross1114) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia ITV down, hands down the worst service, awkward user interface, will be moving on from my contract, so expensive for poor service

  • __tee123 tee 🦕⎊ (@__tee123) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

  • pmakgreb10 Patrick O Toole (@pmakgreb10) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia hi WiFi issues in Belfast. Saying signal strength is very good but no connection. Wired working fine.

  • Miss_C__ AChambers (@Miss_C__) reported

    @virginmedia so 1st you cancel an engineer without letting me know, then when rescheduled for today (I took time off work) you just haven’t showed up. Why am I paying for this incompetence?

  • Squirrelphile Hettie Steer (@Squirrelphile) reported

    @virginmedia We did and was disconnected during a transfer that time also. This isn't just a case of being irritated by bad customer service. We have been lied to by multiple call centre employees regarding this contract and our previous one.

  • sniffynixon Lorrie (@sniffynixon) reported

    @virginmedia I have been on the phone for nearly 2 hours trying to cancel my line, what are you doing???

  • SilenceSheldon Sheldon. 👋 (@SilenceSheldon) reported

    @virginmedia Good to see your engineers don't bother to come to fix our issues despite a timeslot being booked. Oh and no one wants to answeer the 150 number either. Good job.

  • KazzaJR 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Karyn (@KazzaJR) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband not working at all, have done all diagnostics. Been on hold for over 50mins now, can someone please help? Thanks

    Omg... on hold with @virginmedia support for an hour! (Enjoying the on hold music I must say) and it just cuts me off.... 😳

  • PavS_Samra Pavinder Samra (@PavS_Samra) reported

    @virginmedia No, this twitter help has not helped at all. You’ve not addressed anything

  • KatNatHill Kat Hill ⚓️ (@KatNatHill) reported
