    @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 😡🤬

  • rnelson7271 Richard (@rnelson7271) reported from Dromore, Northern Ireland

  • 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!!!

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

    @virginmedia Still slow.

  • 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 😱

  • 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.

  • rnelson7271 Richard (@rnelson7271) reported from Dromore, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia yes. virgin does not appear. John I get service when I move away from the Dromore mast so it's definitely a local issue

  • 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

  • Rightpeg PeteB (@Rightpeg) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    Worst part of being on hold to @virginmedia is having to listen to Coldplay ☹

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

    @virginmedia Not working since I installed the new sim on Saturday!

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    Data on new sim @virginmedia mobile not working and can't get through on the phone 😱

  • 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 🤞

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

    @virginmedia Calls and texts are fine data is the problem can't even use the old SIM it has been cancelled! Tried getting through on 789 but just can't get through!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

    @virginmedia I’m still waiting and it’s causing a real problem now as I need to tweet professionally from a range of accounts. I have no way of doing that from my laptop. Please sort this.

  • Garetho81 Gareth O Keeffe (@Garetho81) reported

    @Dadderley84 @virginmedia Actually, should tag @VirginMediaIE in this, still no word from them on the issue or service restoration estimate

  • 6a6b6c 7of9 (@6a6b6c) reported

    @VirginMediaIE all Ireland is having issues, and you are asking people if they are still having issues xD #virginmedia #CustomerService

  • ChrisInGlasgow ChrisInGlasgow (@ChrisInGlasgow) reported

    @BBCTomEdwards It appears to be an issue on virgin media connections. On your WiFi connection on your device, change DNS to Manual, add server 8.8.8.8 and remove the 2 servers that start 194.

  • katieroweB Katie matey (@katieroweB) reported

    Anyone else’s #virginmedia down????

  • stevelivens Stephen Livens (@stevelivens) reported

    @virginmedia Can you tell me who is best at Virgin Media to speak with about this to understand the problem in greater detail. I was guaranteed that the install would be today and spoke with staff last week to confirm. The number for the preinstalll team I was given is no longer available?

  • katieroweB Katie matey (@katieroweB) reported

    @DanielH47864801 @virginmedia Ridiculous, shocking service.

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported

    @AdmirRusidovic @virginmedia Is that Vodafone or Virgin Media. My issue is with Virgin. But any form of poor customer service isn't acceptable. I'm a social worker and there is no way I would talk to anyone the way I was spoken to yesterday. It's not ok for me so why is it ok for them?
