Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Newtownabbey and nearby locations:

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 !!!

  • 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!

  • pmakgreb10 Patrick O Toole (@pmakgreb10) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia twice now in a week where i have had no tv/broadband , once when it was off for over 12 hrs and now it suggests we wont have a service until 4pm tomorrow. Not good enough. I pay a subscription to watch live sport and i cant watch it. I want some form of compensation

  • 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.

  • ReidWeb Peter Reid (@ReidWeb) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @dearbhaiiile @virginmedia They seem to have no concern for accessibility either, with phone support pretty much being the only option. Not great for those who are hard of hearing or have a communication difference IMO.

  • 93DominicSF Dominic Sherry Adams (@93DominicSF) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia customer service is atrocious! Meant to be open to 8PM...but advisors just hanging up the phone instead of answering. Asking us to leave...

  • 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

  • colorblindjames Peter Whibley (@colorblindjames) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I’m having broadband service issues. I’ve run a test on my equipment and no problem was detected.

  • andycno1 Andrew Clarke  (@andycno1) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @TSSNI @virginmedia completely disgusted by Virgin Media. Have recently taken out 3 phones on contract bringing it up to 4 on the account. One stops working less than a month after buying it and now they are looking to charge me to fix it before even looking at the phone.

  • SamSJMorgan Sam Morgan (@SamSJMorgan) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Virgin Media called to offer me Sky Sports for £15per month and I'm literally waiting to see who we sign before I decide if I'm gonna pay to watch us get our pants pulled down every other week.

  • BIGT_REV Trevor Gilliland (@BIGT_REV) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Yes says to call the customer service number to make changes have also tried the online chat but no good! This is the shocking service for the second night in a row

  • 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 😀

  • BIGT_REV Trevor Gilliland (@BIGT_REV) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia @virginmedia unfortunately 8am is not a suitable time the evening is a time I would expect to be able to speak with someone in customer service

  • 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

  • andycno1 Andrew Clarke  (@andycno1) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    Have had the phone sent back once and now two weeks later still awaiting a pack to send it off again. Been told just to go to @Apple and been hung up on twice. Hundreds of pounds a month being paid to @virginmedia and not even a hint of customer service!!!! Disgusting

  • lowry_t TIM LOWRY (@lowry_t) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia currently experiencing the worst customer service ever,started last week and still ongoing....simply unbelievable...if you want an insight please get in touch ...

  • BIGT_REV Trevor Gilliland (@BIGT_REV) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia again transferred into a hold music queue after telling the representative I didn’t want to be put in another queue #shockingservice #badcustomerservice @Ofcom will be getting a complaint logged

  • 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.

    @virginmedia HeLp!!!

  • suksinghdhillon sukhidhillon (@suksinghdhillon) reported

    @virginmedia HELP!!!

  • ConnyR6S Conny ≛ (@ConnyR6S) reported

    @virginmedia Shouldn’t be apologising for the delay u should be apologising for how bad ur WiFi is, we can all understand it’s a pandemic but it shouldn’t be that bad that if my dog walks into my room the WiFi goes off, not even joking either.

  • Ciaranshier Ciaran Shier (@Ciaranshier) reported

    @virginmedia my internet crashes and I have to reset my router at least once a day. I can’t find a phone number to get support anywhere. Can you help me fix it?

  • JRTwrites James R Turner (@JRTwrites) reported

    @virginmedia Me too. On my 4th projected installation date. Nearly 2 months after I originally signed up for the service.

  • aoifeaoreilly Aoife O’Reilly (@aoifeaoreilly) reported

    @virginmedia very very disappointed with your service, WiFi consistently dropping out over the past few weeks and your call operators are no help! Tried to book an engineer but none available. Paying full price each month and it is honestly a scandal!!

  • MorariScassa Ricardo Morari Scassa (@MorariScassa) reported

    Hey @virginmedia today your service is terrible, I cannot use the internet the connection isn't stable, do you guys have a time to fix it?

  • arieldisco Maddie Hayes 🐢 (@arieldisco) reported

    @virginmedia is there a way to cancel your package other than phoning? I've been on hold for 20 mins and can't stay on much longer

  • summitsleap Anita Whittaker (@summitsleap) reported

    @virginmedia But I rang to cancel in preparation for that so how is it that right that virgin are saying I never called. Then carried on the pretence for 3 months then decided to charge for it. Its really not on.

  • BrfcJimbo23 Jim (@BrfcJimbo23) reported

    @dcfcbecky @virginmedia Mine goes down more than a ******* pornstar. Went down an hour ago and only just came back on
