  • TrevorAKilleen Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia @Ofcom So surprise surprise call through to support - automated service says hub needs to be restarted AGAIN !! (8th time since Monday) but instead of the option that used to be there that allowed you to get connected to someone - now gives instructions and hangs up #badcustomerservice

  • TrevorAKilleen Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia @Ofcom Just rechecked with VPN off - absolutely no better !!! But I need the VPN because the assigned IP address is blocked on some websites and @virginmedia are telling me it’s not their problem !!! @ofcom is this the way a service provider should behave - 3hours in the phone yesterday

  • 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 😱

  • 87Patthehammer Patrick (@87Patthehammer) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I absolutely detest your broadband... your online app... your website... your stupid wee robot questionnaire thingy, it’s as useful as a glass hammer 😡🤬

  • TrevorAKilleen Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia @Ofcom Again nonsense the “escalation” team are the ones supposedly dealing with it .... again ANOTHER demonstration of your departments failing to take ownership of the issues and the customer being the one left with fees still being taken, a poorly functioning service and wasting time

  • skelf73 Graham (@skelf73) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @Omi1974 @sky @virginmedia Sounds like it's a sync issue. Hopefully reset should sort it. If it's one device try connecting with wps button. Should be front of hub and there should be one on ur Q box. Press n hold the one on hub for a few sec then same for Q box.

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

    @virginmedia Still slow.

  • SCIGONE SCi (@SCIGONE) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia can you downgrade your tv package... looking to cancel my sports package....

  • EitherWalnut Lauren 🐝 (@EitherWalnut) reported from Comber, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I know you are there - you've been replying to other people here on twitter. I've been waiting two and a half hours to be answered now because I can't do anything online. Is this really considered an acceptable level of customer service?

  • TrevorAKilleen Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia This is not about @ofcom stopping the compensation this is about you taking money for provision of for exapmple 350mbs service and not delivering on this !!! And then not admitting that this may be the case and continuing to charge customers!! It is unethical

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

    @virginmedia Well good news, my V6 box lost signal as well for 5 minutes, and when it came back again, so did the broadband. The Virgin van was parked near a cabinet, so maybe that was him fixing a fault there.

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

    @virginmedia According to the site, all good, but was up and down like a yo-yo up to dinner time. Seems OK now, so fingers crossed 🤞

  • RedcapFilms Redcap (@RedcapFilms) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Of course, my internet goes down (AGAIN) just as @virginmedia sends me a 'fun' email. HOW ABOUT A WORKING SERVICE?

  • nigelivy Nigel Ivy (@nigelivy) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @jasonsloan46 @virginmedia Landed up cancelling and going with Plusnet. I'm so over paying premium prices for subpar customer service & their product is so unreliable.

  • rbarkley82 Robert Barkley (@rbarkley82) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    So cancelled my @zeninternet order last Wednesday when they failed to activate on time, went to @virginmedia instead, activated yesterday. Asked Zen to confirm they have processed refund and still to hear back... Would def stay away from them, nothing but problems from start!

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

    @virginmedia had problems with the app couldn’t log in on bill day and then it slipped my mind thanks for the late fee first time I’ve done it feel like a very appreciated customer ... not !

  • eastbelfastgirl Ash Patterson 🌈 (@eastbelfastgirl) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Can someone get back to me please, my TV service is off and my broadband

  • TrevorAKilleen Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Finally had a manager call me back from @virginmedia quite helpful in trying to resolve the issue as it stood but then tells me that the automatic monitoring and refund scheme for loss of service policed by @ofcom was suspended because they were aware that with the ...

  • TrevorAKilleen Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia What a load of crap why did you ask in an earlier tweet then? Eh? Pure PR stunt - give that appearance that you’re concerned but I’ve called you out on it - why does that not surprise me? Perhaps @ofcom would be interested to know of this behaviour!!!

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

    @virginmedia Been out at work, but apparently Broadband been down since 12:00 today again. BT28

  • stevehalluk Steve (@stevehalluk) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 As I said earlier. No one at virgin customer service either cares or has a clue what they are doing so it appears.

  • karenpenf karen (@karenpenf) reported

    @virginmedia @Wimbledon Help we have no tv or internet again

  • TrebleTop Lee Knocking treble top (@TrebleTop) reported

    @virginmedia That's great but what is the SLA as I reported the fault on Monday? Life is too short to keep having this nonsense every time there is an issue.

  • TrebleTop Lee Knocking treble top (@TrebleTop) reported

    @virginmedia I've not got an engineer booked for tomorrow, however it's the same every time there is an issue, be it phone, TV or Broadband, the service is painful and you end up having to keep explaining the same thing.

  • Liam_McGroarty Liam McGroarty (@Liam_McGroarty) reported

    @virginmedia been waiting nearly a week now on someone to call me about moving house. We move in on the 20th June. Was told to expect the call within 24-48hrs and still nothing🤔. Only recently renewed my contract Aswell starting to rethink it now with the bad customer service!

  • Dr1Gun GunDR1 (@Dr1Gun) reported

    @virginmedia It happens at midnight from 10pm to 3am past 2days, not just for me but for whole uk. It takes 1 hour just to get through to some one i dont have time for that. Please fix the issue its nation wide, not a specific area.

  • SpiritAngels5 Katie Fowler (@SpiritAngels5) reported from Stapleford Abbotts, England

    @virginmedia how come when you want to cancel your subscription, after 2 days calling you, no reply, yet if I want to join virgin you answer within 2 rings. Now in a WhatsApp chat, since 3pm and still nobody has replied, but been passed from pillar to post! #frustrating

  • Andy0James Andy James (@Andy0James) reported

    @virginmedia I'm waiting on customer relations team. If I text that number I'll be back at square one talking to the people who can't access you actual deals and try sign me up to a full price contract

  • DanielGreensitt Daniel Greensitt (@DanielGreensitt) reported

    @virginmedia More than likely it’s probably been fine today, but soon as it hits midnight that when the problems start

  • Cara_L_RN Cara (@Cara_L_RN) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been back as a customer with you for only 1 week, and already a multitude of issues. Currently, the absolute dysfunction of your app and website meaning I can’t access anything. Not even to find a number to call. #frustrated
