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

    @virginmedia. Signed up for 1 month sports channel. Told it would cost £15. Paid three times this. Not informed we had to ring up and cancel. Now three months paying double our usual bill.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • internetsense Philip I Wilson (@internetsense) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @beatlebaby84 @virginmedia With all these services I record the time, explain I'm busy and ask them to credit me £20, they never do, but often they'll credit £10 or £8, always worth a try!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • VizeAv Av (@VizeAv) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Please @virginmedia I need to cancel my service. Spent 35 mins tonight holding for this department and the agent dropped the call mid conversation #notgoodenough #pisspoor #customerservice

  • 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

  • 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

  • bertford robert crawford (@bertford) reported from Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia No another one of your customers not getting help, paying for movie and not receiving it, then getting no help it reminds me of my time @ virgin

  • TrevorAKilleen Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia tried twice to cancel my services with you on hold both times for over 25mins - this is not the way to encourage customers to stay - just gonna cancel my direct debit !!! You can take this tweet as my 30days notice !!!

  • GeorgeCowan Britishgamerni (@GeorgeCowan) reported from Newtownards, Northern Ireland

    Streams over early Virgin media just went down no internet

  • 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

  • jai_dee Jim Doran (@jai_dee) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I've already reported both issues. It's highly frustrating that a fault with one service knocks out everything.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • swalker004 Stephen Walker (@swalker004) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Been a loyal @SkyUK customer for many years, but current process to move to Sky Q has been ongoing since 3rd August. Shocking service and zero communication. Time to cancel and move to @virginmedia

  • Lainey_Smiles Lainey Smiley⚫ (@Lainey_Smiles) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Nope, very happy with my Virgin broadband, been a customer since you were Cabletel, wouldn't go anywhere else! Thank you, L 😀

  • awakingcell 𝕭𝖊𝖆𝖓 𝖆𝖓 𝕾í (@awakingcell) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Your hold music sucks and it's annoying to have to have a full argument trying to cancel your account thanks. Try some calming music. Hold is rage inducing enough. Stick it in a suggestion box.

    @Anna__Demetriou @virginmedia I finally managed to cancel my @virginmedia account. Phoned up to say I couldn't afford the price hike and they "pulled strings" to get me £1 off my current bill but took off everything in my package. Felt so lucky to have been offered such a great deal to stay

  • MKN985 MKN (@MKN985) reported

    @virginmedia This is the same customer service number they have already called numerous times!They have been no help!

  • Gary4W Gary (@Gary4W) reported

    @virginmedia how do I actually get in touch with a good old fashioned human; to discuss an issue that chat bot can't help with and phone automation press 1 for press 2 for that can't either!

  • AshNunn3 Ash Nunn (@AshNunn3) reported

    @Anna__Demetriou @virginmedia This whole ordeal sounds like a nightmare. Terrible service.

  • DC_Roadie_MTB It’s All Broken (@DC_Roadie_MTB) reported

    @virginmedia This was in the dining room with the hub next to me. My wife’s video work call crashed, phones and iPads all not working. Then do, then don’t again. Really poor.

  • CHFJunglie Chris Peadick (@CHFJunglie) reported

    @virginmedia internet is down yet again when I'm trying to work 🤬🤬🤬 Been down around 2 hours. What is going on?! YO26 4SF

  • panni_theo panni theodorou (@panni_theo) reported

    @virginmedia They only have TV service with you, and that’s what was cancelled, and yes 30days notice was given.

  • 4Olivea 41andabullet Olivea (@4Olivea) reported

    @virginmedia ranks tenth is satisfactory by customers. A big comment is the technical support. I dont know about internet but their technical support for mobile is terrible. You can't understand what's being said.
