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

    @virginmedia Wish I could tell you it was better. But the internet is going on and off every few minutes. The service has been good for the last couple of months but since yesterday evening it has been terrible. Sorry.

  • Mark_G_J_R Mark McCourt (@Mark_G_J_R) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @Ofcom any chance you can have a look at whats going on with @virginmedia, I have logged a complaint with you, unable to get a response from them other than platitudes on their twitter account. I

  • radiogeordie Geordie On Your Radio 📻🔊 (@radiogeordie) reported from Ballyclare, Northern Ireland

    @onairwithgareth @virginmedia Seems to be network wide mate, stations VM business line keeps dropping too.

  • d_pelissier David Pelissier (@d_pelissier) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia another weekend, another outage... If that's to be the new normal, then perhaps your competitors will be better at handling it. #NoWiFi

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

    @virginmedia To say your service is patchy at the moment would be generous.

  • Bluebird_7777 Bluebird (@Bluebird_7777) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

  • ph_otographer Belfast Snapper 🌈 N Hero S (@ph_otographer) reported from Whiteabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia They left me to fend for myself, the new sim wiped out my APN settings, @virginmedia were no help at all, got settings from a third party 😱

  • paboy113 Paboy (@paboy113) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Broadband is so frustrating. Family going nuts! I’m sure VM staff are trying their best to fix but not good enough. Been on off on off in BT4 (Belfast) for weeks. Router switched on and off with no improvement. Seriously thinking of closing top home package account.#virginmedia

  • Mark_G_J_R Mark McCourt (@Mark_G_J_R) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia BT5 Belfast 7 hour outage, any chance we could get an estimate on when this will be fixed, or even an acknowledgement from your status checker that there is a problem, constant problems for the past month.

  • Ard_Macha Árd Macha (@Ard_Macha) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Still slow.

  • Chlochlo2234 Chloé (@Chlochlo2234) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia this is day three without our broadband working and you’re impossible to get in contact with. Working from home is impossible like this! HELP

  • Chlochlo2234 Chloé (@Chlochlo2234) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I’m not sure what your system is for replying to these but I’ve been trying to contact you for days. I’m being ignored whilst more recent queries are being prioritised & answered. Broadband is still not working. Can’t work from home at all now. FIX IT.

  • Mark_G_J_R Mark McCourt (@Mark_G_J_R) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @creppermint @virginmedia 2/ maintenance or scheduled maintenance, but just turning it off no warning when people are trying to work from home is just poor service. The website is useless, no faults showing and call centres closed, no way to contact them...

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

    @virginmedia It was showing a fault this morning but it now tells me everything is fixed. However the WiFi continues to come and go ever few minutes. I have reset twice but there is still a problem ongoing from 10.00 last night.

  • darrenMaginnes Darren Maginnes (@darrenMaginnes) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia what’s the issue with your internet, this is two weeks in a row that you’re servers have had problems, how do you feel taking customers money and them not being able to use it then putting the charge up!!!

  • lorenshanxn LAUREN SHANNON (@lorenshanxn) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @fashiontrain @virginmedia This is why I left them never got the internet speeds they promised the whole time I was with them

    @virginmedia Mine came on yesterday but around midday today it went off again. No Internet or TV? Is this another issue?

  • _Flirtram_ 🇮🇹Coach White Hart Prince✨ (@_Flirtram_) reported

    @Billytheyid70 @virginmedia Change Bill, they are the worst by miles

  • Samuel_Dynamic Samuel Langley (@Samuel_Dynamic) reported

    @virginmedia is there currently a WiFi outage - been having intermittent issue?

  • Miss_Pumpkin666 Caroline (@Miss_Pumpkin666) reported from Birmingham, England

    @sahinbrum @virginmedia I agree that their compensation policy is bs, I’ve found when I’ve had any outage affect me, they patch it quickly so the service gets intermittent while they work on a full fix, that way they don’t have to compensate, even if service drops out every couple minutes. BS really

  • staceylou0903 Stacey Shioda (@staceylou0903) reported

    @virginmedia So because of YOUR problem with YOUR Internet and tv, people have to suffer and take unpaid leave from work due to working from home and using your services right before Christmas! We’re still in a pandemic which prevents us working in an office so HAVE to use your services

  • Gamr1UK PeterE #IAmEUropean (@Gamr1UK) reported

    @virginmedia I have chronic illness. I am on long-term sick & advised the Movers team that I cannot access my military email. Originally told this was not a problem, but since learned that the disconnection did not go ahead because of this. Now I'm having to pay from 10 Sep till end of Dec!

  • AdamArticuno Adam (@AdamArticuno) reported

    @virginmedia are there issues with internet connection right now? Can't seem to get online...

  • nickywolko Nicky Rowe (@nickywolko) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia my new tv box has arrived today and I can’t use it as our area is still down. Our broadband was down yesterday. At least it’s only the tv today it’s not as if we are without power or heating like some parts of the country. Customer services were helpful

  • richie_rich77 Miss Wobble (@richie_rich77) reported

    @virginmedia what's wrong with your internet now? Connection is PAINFULLY SLOW - I'm sitting RIGHT NEXT TOPM THE POUTER??? How can it be taking so long to load pages? Im actually fed up of this 'service'.

  • julie_almond Julie (@julie_almond) reported

    @virginhelp Virgin media, please don’t tell me 150 from landline as it’s dead and never worked. The other numbers to overseas call centre is to expensive
