    @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.

    @virginmedia both tv and broadband have been down for well over 24 hours now. Not good enough! Any reason for this?

    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!!??

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

    Tom Keating (@tomdkeating) reported from Carryduff, Northern Ireland

    @Seanlpmccabe @virginmedia It was down early Thursday morning, 10:30am(ish), no snow then. Very poor that both TV and BB are down for so long.

  • 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'.

    @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?

  • EnthusiastLeeds
    The Leeds Enthusiast (@EnthusiastLeeds) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

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

  • DAVIDBUZZ2904
    DAVIDBUZZ2904 (@DAVIDBUZZ2904) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia But you haven’t offered me a better deal I’ve contacted you and nothing but if I leave you and join back I can get the deal it’s a bit stupid I might just go to someone else if you can’t price match your own deal

    @virginmedia How can I get help with an issue on my V6 box?

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

    @virginmedia "aren't guaranteed?" They've been terrible from day one. After 6 months as a customer you clearly overpromise on your capabilities. My speeds at the moment are probably no better than dial up

    @philipaston44 @Channel4 @tvmoneybags I have Virgin Media and watched it this morning on their catch up service. Won’t do any spoilers!

    Ive had some scary experiences with customer service but as always @virginmedia always take the Oscar for worst customer service performance. #virginmedia

  • DAVIDBUZZ2904
    DAVIDBUZZ2904 (@DAVIDBUZZ2904) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia So if I left virgin mobile I could get the deal but it I stayed a virgin i whould have to pay more why can’t you price match yourself it’s stupid when I can go to a price comparison website and get cheaper for the same company

    @superbowler4 @virginmedia They are terrible.

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

    @virginmedia Thank you, but any chance you might actually try to resolve the issue rather than just redirect me to policies?

  • nadean_ni
    Nadean (@nadean_ni) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia @TaylorMod Yes we've checked, the world and its granny knows VM is down in Belfast but this has been since Monday now. Absolutely ridiculous. Cost me a fortune on data when I moved and VM kept getting the addres wrong, was well over a month without the service and this was 2 months ago.

  • 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.

  • MrRossICT
    Mr Ross (@MrRossICT) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia tried contacting your customer services number to be told straight away that you are too busy, who can I contact to fix an issue we are having?

    Charlotte 🦄🧚‍♀️ (@char_bone) reported

    @DiBrander We left Virgin Media because they were awful at fixing issues. We had a fault go on for over a month but no compensation because you have to have full service loss. It was over £90 a month too.
