  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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 ...

  • 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 😀

  • 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 !!!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • CarmelRobinson3 Carmel Robinson (@CarmelRobinson3) reported from Lurgan, Northern Ireland

    Having a rubbish service from #VirginMedia promised hi fibre fast broadband and it keeps buffering. My partner spoke to customer service who said that was normal. We are leaving after 6 weeks of a terrible service

  • docbungle Dr. Whirlington Spinblade (@docbungle) reported

    @virginmedia Hi your colleagues had sorted out a new hub due to current being well bad. However its been over a week since then & have not seen any notifications about it (no dispatch or tracking numbers) and I have no "orders" on my account. Any update would be great

  • LiLbobroken salon🕊 (@LiLbobroken) reported

    @virginmedia Says you can’t find any issues

  • kingofthe6509 mark hill (@kingofthe6509) reported

    @virginmedia The WhatsApp service that I messaged 2 days ago and still no reply that WhatsApp

  • ElisaMurphy20 Elisa Murphy (@ElisaMurphy20) reported

    @virginmedia 1. I have been on the phone all day passed to department to department having to go through the problem multiple times, and yet here I am doing it again 2. I have spend money calling you for me to just get passed around. 3. I have spent time being passed around departments which

  • NatalieMarshman Natalie Marshman (@NatalieMarshman) reported

    @virginmedia We have an intermittent service and they were calling to get this fixed. They were advised to call us by you guys apparently. I had been on the chat - not getting anywhere I might add, to get a booster.

  • _THEpodge Richard Walters (@_THEpodge) reported

    @virginmedia Tbh no. I requested to cancel both my upgrade with yourselfs and O2 due to the farcical error at the time. @O2 have since sent me a "final bill" requesting payment. Even though i didnt receive the sim and had closed the account.

  • debziesmall Debra Small (@debziesmall) reported

    @uhNoisyy @virginmedia My internet has gone down every day this week. Says there’s no issue in area. Then it says there is. Then it says there’s not.

  • zakbrownz Zak (@zakbrownz) reported

    Lost all respect @virginmedia Looking to downgrade package. And the person on live chat has the cheek to say I’ve got it down to £92.75 it’s already less than that now. @Ofcom will enjoy this transcript that’s for sure lots of taking advantage of customers now from virgin media.

  • ElisaMurphy20 Elisa Murphy (@ElisaMurphy20) reported

    @virginmedia This was then not possible, so my internet is now arriving next Saturday. The point I hope I have made is that there had clearly been a massive failing here multiple times from virgin, and has ended up causing me, the new customer, stress, loss of time, loss

  • ElisaMurphy20 Elisa Murphy (@ElisaMurphy20) reported

    @virginmedia This is exactly the problem. I have been on the phone all day. You absolutely can call me. This is the least you can do considering this terrible service. If you cannot do it, please ask someone in your team who can.
