    So is YouTube buffering a thing now ? Running Speedtest on my Apple TV i get 330/40 with Virgin Media and yet pretty much all videos will initially have buffering issues

    @AdeMcCann @virginmedia Same here BT6. Am very lucky am a mile from the office and in I went. But cut off at home with no warning and government advising us to work from home, this is poor.

    @virginmedia I called again on Saturday to resolve this again and I was told this was a crazy amount of discount and that any TL or manager would find it difficult to approve. After hours on the phone and all Managment unable to help, I’ve now been advised to make a complaint.

  • Hudd84
    Conor Huddleston (@Hudd84) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    No Internet for 2 days now @virginmedia no facility to speak to anyone, book a technician or anything else for that matter. Your help text is quite frankly useless in this situation. Please provide a method to get this resolved ASAP. Awful service.

    @virginmedia holding for over an hour to speak to customer services - hung up and rang the sales as a “new customer” answered within 3 rings. I appreciate that your limited with staff but don’t forget your existing customers #frustrating

    @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

    @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.

  • mfearonmusic
    Michael Fearon (@mfearonmusic) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Then I noticed that I was missing the children’s channels. I called and got it sorted but I was told the new bill will show as £150 odd but not to worry a manager will be applying discount, that never happened.

  • JaneHolohan
    Jane Emir Holohan (@JaneHolohan) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Yes I have - it happens every evening around 10pm - a friend in BT7 has the same problem, we are BT10 ? What happens at 10pm ?

  • EmmetMcDB
    Emmet McDonough-Brown (@EmmetMcDB) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @okaygeraldine @virginmedia That’s one for @consumerlinda G. I’d give them a call, I’m astounded they can charge you when you move to an area they don’t service. It feels very very wrong.

  • 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.

  • peterhkirk
    Pete Kirk (@peterhkirk) reported from Ballyclare, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I accept more customers are working from home including myself however after a year I would expect a company such as @virginmedia to adapt and do everything within their powers to improve their service, not worsen!!??

  • DJJarlath

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

  • DenMagic
    Den (@DenMagic) reported from Dunmurry, Northern Ireland

    Down again @virginmedia in BT17. Came back on but I am paying for a service that cuts off several times a day. Not on.

  • 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.

  • peterhkirk
    Pete Kirk (@peterhkirk) reported from Ballyclare, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Having spent nearly three hours tonight trying to speak with someone with no luck I would like to know how customers get in touch, how they can get a solid service and when @virginmedia will cop onto what is acceptable as a business provider?? 😡

  • BelfastBooks
    Belfast B❄️❄️ks (@BelfastBooks) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Well done to @virginmedia’s off shore support team for taking a loyal customer of 24 years, treating them so insensitively that they’ve now cancelled their contract and will go elesewhere for phone, broadband and TV.

  • DenMagic
    Den (@DenMagic) reported from Dunmurry, Northern Ireland

    Once again, @virginmedia dropping speeds and service going down in Dunmurry. No one can help and they don't respond to complaints but they are hiking price next month 🤔 #virginmediadown

    @virginmedia The status page says everything is ok but when I phoned the advisor said there was a problem in the area.

    M-O-O-N (@Borgle1) reported

    @caz_fizz @MelJanie @virginmedia Virgin are terrible now. Since the Welsh and North East staff were laid off. The overseas workers are untrained and promise the earth but deliver nothing and cause hours of phone calls for issues that could and should be solved in 3 minutes.

  • OldPeopleFine
    Ken Bar Low (@OldPeopleFine) reported

    @Dearme2_ You think when you hit rock bottom things can only get better but then your house burns down and virgin media take you to court for non payment of your wifi

  • declancarty
    Declan Carty (@declancarty) reported

    @IrishTimes Perhaps someone like the excellent Patrick Freyne might investigate why, after all these YEARS, Sky subscribers in the ROI cannot get ITV channels, whilst Virgin Media customers have no probs in doing so. Is it still supposed to be a ‘rights’ issue ????

  • montesdeocapj
    Pedro Montes de Oca (@montesdeocapj) reported

    I need a lawyer or a support group to help me file a complaint against Virgin @virginmedia regarding issues with their internet service.

  • kevgasandhtg
    Kevin B (@kevgasandhtg) reported

    @virginmedia do anyone actually work at your company, or are you all just bots , trying to sort out a issue with the service

  • scouse9000
    Darren (Dazza) (@scouse9000) reported

    @CheekyVic @virginmedia Yes I would totally agree with that! I had to get in touch with one of the directors to sort my account out! She waved the massive bill if I dropped my complaint!! We had closed the account 5 months before that! Shocking customer service!!

  • PeterDilworth1
    Dr Peter Dilworth 💙 #Woke #GTTO 😷 Blue Tick👀 (@PeterDilworth1) reported

    @virginmedia please help these people out. You are now aware of the situation and are not providing the service you are being paid for.

  • Vocalandproudx
    Vocal and Proud (@Vocalandproudx) reported

    @virginmedia Shameful service. I’ve contacted you DAILY and STILL no resolution for my inconsistent internet connection. It’s been 6months now. DSAR request promised, still waiting. Enough is enough. Escalating to @Ofcom

    Damian Hastie (@DamianHastie) reported

    @virginmedia Wow you really don't want additional business, shocking experience both with your customer service bot and now when DM your X bot. What a terrible business.
