    Harbour 💚 (@HarbourLord) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia you have the worst laid out website. All I'm trying to do is speak to someone on chat to figure out why I have zero upload speed right now and honestly thinking of just cancelling my broadband contract because your site is so unfriendly for customers to navigate.

    Leonard Totton (@lennylinfield) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @theboardlfc @virginmedia It’s terrible. Mine was fine until lockdown started then it dropped to on average 8mb! Called a few times to be told it was fine. Only for preferring Virgin TV I would have changed a while back. There are many with the same story

    @virginmedia any idea when the issues will be resolved in the BT14 area ? The fault status on the app is still saying due fixed at 10am !

    @virginmedia your broadband service has been s**t the last 4 days in the BT8 area. Any chance of a fix as I am trying to work from home and having to use hotspot on my phone to ensure I can stay online. A trip to BT when my contract is up.

    Tom Keating (@tomdkeating) reported from Carryduff, Northern Ireland

    @Seanlpmccabe @virginmedia It was down early Thursday morning, 10:30am(ish), no snow then. Very poor that both TV and BB are down for so long.

    @virginmedia holding for over an hour to speak to customer services - hung up and rang the sales as a “new customer” answered within 3 rings. I appreciate that your limited with staff but don’t forget your existing customers #frustrating

    @AdeMcCann @virginmedia Same here BT6. Am very lucky am a mile from the office and in I went. But cut off at home with no warning and government advising us to work from home, this is poor.

    Emmet McDonough-Brown (@EmmetMcDB) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @okaygeraldine @virginmedia That’s one for @consumerlinda G. I’d give them a call, I’m astounded they can charge you when you move to an area they don’t service. It feels very very wrong.

    @virginmedia @Francesca090900 There us no option for loss of TV service, only for broadband and calls.

    Diane Holt (@DianePetherick) reported from Newtownards, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia my home phone is constantly not working, causing distress to my elderly mum. Trying to ring your 'helpline" today the recorded message is unintelligible. Any chance of help here?

    @virginmedia can you tell me how to send back your NOT so super intelligent WiFi booster. It's crap, does not work and ever since we used it we keep getting kicked off wifi, both me and my partner. Internet speeds are worse on some devices.

  • tomdkeating
    Tom Keating (@tomdkeating) reported from Carryduff, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia any idea why Broadband and TV are down all day today in BT8?

  • Pacman4370

    @virginmedia Still No one has contacted me. Poor service from @virginmedia poor broadband speed sand now poor customer service 👎👎👎

  • johnpbell
    John Bell (@johnpbell) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Broadband is very temperamental. I’ve tried all the suggestions, reset the hub etc. It fixes the issue temporarily but seems to often revert to very poor speeds. Hub 3. Sometimes speeds show as fine, but on all devices the speed is poor.

    Jim Doran (@jai_dee) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Just the one channel. The picture is jerking and freezing and has been for a good week now. As I said every other channel appears to be perfectly fine, it's just a problem with @wchannel

    @virginmedia Yes, but point is, this will be the 3rd time at huge inconvenience to me. I've had to cancel arrangements yet again and tbh, the call centre is best to useless.

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia That's ludicrous! So an engineer couldn't be bothered to fix the "noise" and just cut you off?

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia I got a ‘3’5g router that pulls down the 5g signal, it was as fast as my Virgin Media 200+gbps and more reliable. £25/month. If you’ve no 5g coverage starlink is offering £35 a month.

    @virginmedia as a loyal Customer all you want is a good service and for your Internet to be working but it’s so difficult to get through to you. I’ve lost out on a days work. If it continues I would be cancelling my direct debit due to lack of Customer Service and lack of servic
