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

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

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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 😱

  • aarongreenaway7 Aaron Greenaway (@aarongreenaway7) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Still not working. Getting the error code on sky sports

    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!

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

    @virginmedia were you able to check the mast in Dromore to see if there is an issue

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

    @virginmedia Still slow.

  • 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

  • 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 🤞

  • 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.

  • 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 😡🤬

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

  • 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!!!

  • 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

  • ScottN1504 Scott Noble (@ScottN1504) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Has anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible

  • Darkowl1rush RushSm (@Darkowl1rush) reported

    Virgin media sucks. #virginmediadown Happing more frequently now. Paying for service and still get charged. Basic package is shocking.

  • ProofPlains Paul Pereirinha (@ProofPlains) reported

    @virginmedia I appreciate the quick reply, however we've been given estimated fix dates many times and they never turn out to be true. This needs to be escalated please. I'm still paying £76 per month for a service which is unusable half of the time, and I'm not the only one.

  • paddislife paddislife (@paddislife) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately she has no service to call, text or data. Unfortunately I have no way getting access to her account details and she cannot remember any her account details to hand. I remember you could speak to member staff on What’s app correct?

  • JustNice89 James Brown (@JustNice89) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I’m having a problem with my broadband in the RG1 area - are there issues logged at the moment?

  • Jaloopa23 AKA J (@Jaloopa23) reported

    @virginmedia It shows no issues with internet but poor WiFi connection with varying numbers of devices, sometimes while in the same room as the router and within a few feet of it. It definitely looks like the WiFi and not the fibre connection

  • ARosamond Andrew Rosamond (@ARosamond) reported

    @virginmedia genius idea to take out network with planned maintenance between 09:00 and 15:00 without prior notification.

  • Adedamolavictor adedamolavictor.sol (@Adedamolavictor) reported

    @virginmedia I do this constantly and it always says service is great. 271 on wired connection is great but I paid for wireless connection as well which is what we use predominantly and as you can see it was only offering 10mb last night

  • briggsjohn John Briggs (@briggsjohn) reported

    @virginmedia Your site reports no issues, and yes I have the phone plugged in to the router. I get a dial tone but cannot make or receive calls. The internet has been unstable since this VOIP move at the beginning of July. Rebooting the router sometimes help. I’m in modem mode if that helps?

  • BAMIdaily Michael Bamidele (@BAMIdaily) reported

    @virginmedia broadband is down in RG1 again. Service status page says everything is fine but lots of reports on Twitter.
