  • 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

  • Jay_McB Jason Brown (@Jay_McB) reported from Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia No! I have logged onto @primevideouk on another device and it works. So my account is fine. But it's not working on my V6 box and I have missed the first half of the match.

  • AineM15 Aine Murray (@AineM15) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Already did that , you are pretty much lying to people taking the first and second month in the first bill. Only have been with you for one month. Your customer team said this was in the terms and conditions. Can guarantee you it's not as I wouldn't have signed up if it was

  • dryder11 Daniel Ryder (@dryder11) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Holding for 35 minutes for @virginmedia contact centre to try and find out why my WiFi is down guy finally answers asks my name then hangs up - absolutely furious! #terribleservice

  • 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

  • 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.

  • a_golonka Agnieszka Golonka (@a_golonka) reported from Whiteabbey, Northern Ireland

    @jadey_voorhees @virginmedia They really are, I don’t know how they still exist! Try sky, and because you work within abbeycenter guys will give you discount, they did for me as well. Means if any issues as well you don’t have to phone customer services, they will be able to sort it out for you on the spot!

  • nextofkindler Gavin Wilson (@nextofkindler) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia We have had new boosters sent out and recently a new hub to try to solve the problems but still they remain unresolved. This situation needs addressed as we are currently paying for a service that we aren’t receiving

  • DavySedge David Sedge (@DavySedge) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Paying good money for a service that goes mute for no reason . Thanks

  • 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

  • nextofkindler Gavin Wilson (@nextofkindler) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia so we contacted u yesterday at approx 330pm to complain about service or lack of and after being bounced about, we were told a manger would contact us within a 2hour period. We are still waiting. Absolutely terrible customer service to date!

  • PPLOM1 Sarah Lorimer (@PPLOM1) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    After a nightmare attempt to firstly speak to someone on the phone I spoke with a rude employee. I was assured no more charges . Email just through stating we will be charged double again this month 🙈 #virginmedia

  • oharamal Cllr Mal O’Hara (Castle DEA) Belfast (@oharamal) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I got through - 1 hour in total on the phone!!! Terrible to have to wait that long. Agent mistake to allocate a disconnect and move to my account. I’m not moving anywhere

  • a_golonka Agnieszka Golonka (@a_golonka) reported from Whiteabbey, Northern Ireland

    @jadey_voorhees @virginmedia Honestly they are horrible, we changed to sky. Their customer service is terrible, up to 1 h waiting on the phone after having to press all the options... just for them to put you on hold and hang up! Took me over 1 week of phoning to finally cancel the contract!

  • Jay_McB Jason Brown (@Jay_McB) reported from Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    After a poor response from Amazon. @virginmedia I move to Amazon on TV feather than on V6. Have you #virginmedia got any news or explanation for the poor quality of Amazon on VM V6 stb

  • oharamal Cllr Mal O’Hara (Castle DEA) Belfast (@oharamal) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I’m currently on hold at 38 minutes waiting to speak to customer service - apparently I’m moving house and reinstalling in Craigavon on 3rd December. I live in belfast and have not planned a move. Apparently resolved weeks ago but a flurry of texts yesterday

  • 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.

  • BelfastTory Andrew Fleming (@BelfastTory) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @jst_jelliott @virginmedia Same here. Network is fine but router isn't able to connect to the internet. This happened recently around this time of night a week or so ago. Getting annoying.

  • AineM15 Aine Murray (@AineM15) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Just tried to phone again and when they transferred me to the complaints department they just hung up. Your customer service is actually appalling

  • AineM15 Aine Murray (@AineM15) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia for anyone who is thinking about switching to virgin media don't. Their £50 refer a friend credit doesn't work and they charge £35 for the activation fee and take the first and second month in advance. So now looking at a bill of over £100. Tried to phone but no use

  • kelly1latorre Kelly Ward ( was Collins ) (@kelly1latorre) reported

    What a stressful bloody morning trying to communicate with @virginmedia a member of their sales team rang me yesterday & changed my contract phone now with o2 after reading info tries cancel today they say they cannot change. Told them I must not have my actual number changed as

  • MelanieDerrico1 Melanie Derricott (@MelanieDerrico1) reported

    @virginmedia do you have an email address I can make a complaint to? I already contacted your "customer service" last Wednesday and I'm still waiting for my call back from a manager 🙄

  • gingerannie34 Annie C 💙 (@gingerannie34) reported

    Any idea when we'll be able to make outgoing calls @virginmedia ? tried to make some calls today just says Number not valid. I know it's not a me problem as others are having same issue. Thanks in advance 👍

  • kelly1latorre Kelly Ward ( was Collins ) (@kelly1latorre) reported

    @virginmedia as hospitals and Macmillan nurses all have my contact number and tell me I must speak to o2 who have sent me a new SIM card 😬 wtf 🤬!!!!!

  • Johnmhunt John M Hunt (@Johnmhunt) reported from Oxgangs, Scotland

    @virginmedia hi I’m aware there’s a calling issue just now on Virgin Mobile but I was wondering how to get an upgraded 5G SIM on ultimate Oomph as the one we have is only allowing 4G.

  • coopdoggg187 Stuart Cooper (@coopdoggg187) reported

    @virginmedia hi, any way of checking if mobile coverage is down in my area? Online coverage checker also not working for me. BN12 4RD area!

  • BusinessBad4 Bad4Business (@BusinessBad4) reported

    @virginmedia Don't worry, I've already given up. You're a massive conglomerate and I'm a pleb customer. Ofcom are just as bad and only provide the illusion that are to protect consumers - but again = pleb customer. It's a fight I'll never win, so I give up. Don't worry, I'll keep paying 😞

  • EggsyGLC John (Eggsy) (@EggsyGLC) reported

    @virginmedia I have not received any communication. Call centres are no help. Can some one please call me.

  • BusinessBad4 Bad4Business (@BusinessBad4) reported

    @virginmedia This morning it's fine thank you. I purely needed a record of the loss of service so I can be credited fairly. If I never noticed and reported it, you'd continue taking money without offer of discount. I pay for 24/7 service, whether used or not. Thanks for responding 👍

  • Smf06091 Smf0609 (@Smf06091) reported

    @virginmedia your service level is atrocious
