    @virginmedia Can you confirm connectivity issues in Belfast please? I did have to disconnect for new carpet fitting, i put it all together again and it worked. I returned home at 830 to find it down again. #Belfast #VirginMedia #Internet

  • mrssbarnard SuzieWuzie (@mrssbarnard) reported from Cultra, Northern Ireland

    @CatrionaKing1 @virginmedia I'm a total tech idiot 🙈 It's a huge part of the reason companies like Virgin can take advantage

  • lab_animal Margaret Dunlop (@lab_animal) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @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 !

  • HarbourLord 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.

  • FuscoTV Angelina Fusco (@FuscoTV) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Dreadful #biz service @virginmedia all day and evening. To add to the problem @ITVX also stuttering

  • BelfastBooks Belfast B❄️❄️ks (@BelfastBooks) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Well done to @virginmedia’s off shore support team for taking a loyal customer of 24 years, treating them so insensitively that they’ve now cancelled their contract and will go elesewhere for phone, broadband and TV.

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

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

  • DarkOldWolf Jon (@DarkOldWolf) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @staggy_dev @bradley_steve @virginmedia Is it still down for you in east?

  • DavidPMet David Phelan (@DavidPMet) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Yes. And another call already, that's 2 for today. I'm blocking both numbers. Terrible customer service practice.

  • tmcerlean95 Tiárna McErlean (@tmcerlean95) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Ffs @virginmedia fed up with these network blackouts recently! I’m gonna find another provider at this rate 🙃 😡

  • ASMagency @AgentSWhelan (@ASMagency) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I’ve been on the phone 3 hours already to try and cancel my broadband/tv services and had my mobile phone cut off. Horrendous the time it takes to cancel

  • beezlebum Bee (@beezlebum) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @raycasey2003 Delicious! Having just spent six months of my life battling @virginmedia for the bare minimum compensation I was entitled to and witnessing their atrocious 'customer service', this has delighted me. I know he doesn't own Vigin Media anymore, but he created the monster.

  • larmour_andre Andrew Larmour (@larmour_andre) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Sky Sports app “device limit reached” even though it has not been. Can not register/de-register devices on virgin app and it advises “contact your service provider” - which is yourselves.

  • DianePetherick 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?

  • GarethOHare3 Gareth O’Hare (@GarethOHare3) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Oh for many a useless hour. We then spotted engineers outside. He said he wasn’t here to install internet, but to find Toby box. I said it’s there, someone dug it up 3 weeks ago. He said someone couldn’t find it during the week. Short story, it’s found please help

  • BelfastBooks Belfast B❄️❄️ks (@BelfastBooks) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

  • beezlebum Bee (@beezlebum) reported from Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia No. You have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt your customer service is beyond useless.

  • DavidPMet David Phelan (@DavidPMet) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    .@virginmedia please can you stop calling me every day? Long term customer offered £45 per month renewal, got double the speed for half the price with @TalkTalk 👏🏼 Since then, repeated calls offering £20 per month package, should have rewarded loyalty to begin with! @Ofcom

  • tomdkeating 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.

  • adammccalden Adam McCalden (@adammccalden) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia since my virgin mobile UK signal has been shifted from piggyback Vodafone to @O2 it has been a complete disaster, constant signal dropping, constant WiFi calling cutting. This is before my account has been transferred to O2. Complete and utter rubbish
