    @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?

  • Domsball
    Dominic Bryan (@Domsball) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia We have had broadband going on and off all day. Reset the hub, no better. Is there a problem in north Belfast.

  • DrRichCollins
    Richard Collins (@DrRichCollins) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia hi, how do I escalate a complaint through customer service please? New service connection as of Monday... tv service still not working despite 2 calls (and v long waits) to customer service number. Not happy and considering cancellation.

    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

  • DavidPMet
    David Phelan (@DavidPMet) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Yes. And another call already, that's 2 for today. I'm blocking both numbers. Terrible customer service practice.

    Amanda Ferguson (@AmandaFBelfast) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Hi. It now 4 hours since I started trying to resolve your billing mistake using your WhatsApp messaging service. I have had to explain myself more than half a dozen times. Please check the details and resolve the matter asap. Thank you. Amanda

    @virginmedia I opted out of marketing, it’s from your sales team trying to stop my from switching my service, it’s overkill especially as I’ve already had the conversation with your agents about it.

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

    @virginmedia Have broadband/@Tv issues CS9004 connection problem. Chat function won't take any more messges

    Jon (@DarkOldWolf) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Can you confirm connectivity issues in Belfast please? I did have to disconnect for new carpet fitting, i put it all together again and it worked. I returned home at 830 to find it down again. #Belfast #VirginMedia #Internet

    Lynsey (@lynnnnseyj) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia hi, how to I make a complaint regarding construction. Office is now closed and the team were in a meeting earlier. Is there an email address?! Really not good enough!!

  • Garlic_Icon
    WTF! (@Garlic_Icon) reported from Antrim and Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia No, I never thought I needed to, I thought the whole point was that's it's wireless broadband. Connecting something and getting a fast reading will make no difference to myself and my family as we struggle to stream or game on our wireless devices.

  • StripeyMiata
    Jonathan McCormack (@StripeyMiata) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @asa_thorp Virgin Media are worse to cancel, believe me.

  • 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.

  • Pascalstil
    Pascal Stil (@Pascalstil) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia The housemate who's connection it is has been in contact many times, apparently on Monday he was told permission was needed from the account holder of the new connection, who jas not been contacted about that, and it also sounds too stupid to be true

  • adammccalden
    Adam McCalden (@adammccalden) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia since my virgin mobile UK signal has been shifted from piggyback Vodafone to @O2 it has been a complete disaster, constant signal dropping, constant WiFi calling cutting. This is before my account has been transferred to O2. Complete and utter rubbish

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia how does one get a newer router does one have to leave and come back in the future ? My wifi is awful just ordered wifi extenders but we get like 35mbs upstairs on a 350mbs package :)

    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 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.

    BlackMamboTR (@BlackMamboTr) reported

    @virginmedia ⸻ Serious trust issues with this company. Commitments were not fulfilled, and statements were inconsistent. Information provided by different representatives contradicted each other. Considering alternative companies is strongly advised.

  • Frantique4
    Frantique- Starmer's dad made a Tool. Vote Reform. (@Frantique4) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Virgin cancelled one of my email addresses (low usage). They won't admit they did. I'd already paid a techie to sort 'my' problem. He also phones them on my behalf because I don't understand their lovely accents when I do it. Still no email & no word from Virgin despite promises.

    @virginmedia @RobRollin2 If you have the 1gb they are free plus most WiFi issues are due to devices & not the service. Plus you can if want put in modem mode & use your own equipment

    @Benleo Virgin Media has the worst customer service that i have ever experienced. It is almost impossible to speak to someone who speaks English well enough to understand what is going on. Its chat bots are a waste of space. Yet they continue to put their costs up every year without fail
