  • 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.

    Richard Collins (@DrRichCollins) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Two calls to 150 left me with little confidence that issue would be resolved. Neither seemed to know what was going on... VM have my number so I would appreciate if someone with some technical knowledge could call me. You’re currently not providing the service I’m paying for

    @virginmedia your broadband is a heap of **** . Cakesmackers

    @superbowler4 @virginmedia They are terrible.

  • Liver4breakfast
    Martin Moore (@Liver4breakfast) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia the irony. The repair date for the TV and intermittent internet problems has been moved, after 2 days of the same problem. Try to send Virginmedia a DM "There is a problem connecting with the server".. That's because of an intermittent internet problem that I have.

    @virginmedia how does one get a newer router does one have to leave and come back in the future ? My wifi is awful just ordered wifi extenders but we get like 35mbs upstairs on a 350mbs package :)

    DAVIDBUZZ2904 (@DAVIDBUZZ2904) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia So if I left virgin mobile I could get the deal but it I stayed a virgin i whould have to pay more why can’t you price match yourself it’s stupid when I can go to a price comparison website and get cheaper for the same company

  • Hudd84
    Conor Huddleston (@Hudd84) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    No Internet for 2 days now @virginmedia no facility to speak to anyone, book a technician or anything else for that matter. Your help text is quite frankly useless in this situation. Please provide a method to get this resolved ASAP. Awful service.

  • mfearonmusic
    Michael Fearon (@mfearonmusic) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I called again on Saturday to resolve this again and I was told this was a crazy amount of discount and that any TL or manager would find it difficult to approve. After hours on the phone and all Managment unable to help, I’ve now been advised to make a complaint.

  • DenMagic
    Den (@DenMagic) reported from Dunmurry, Northern Ireland

    I wonder how many times today my 'superfast' @virginmedia will slow down and cut off? Lodged complaint and passed it onto BBC Watchdog. #virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia you've surpassed yourselves this time! 50 days without broadband and yet another promised date of reconnection passed with no communication or explanation. I refuse to waste another sunny weekend waiting for your useless 'customer services' to lie to me.

  • 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 !

  • SMDeane
    Sandra Deane (@SMDeane) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Come on Virgin Media!! Internet down for me but not my neighbour?? Working from home is an absolute nightmare, I also have teenagers to contend with and no internet!!! #BT8

  • SwissKrono_JH
    Johnny Hamilton (@SwissKrono_JH) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Don’t be so ridiculous. The app crashed you couldn’t even login. Utter shambles

  • lilmissymoo90
    Lauren Blair♥ (@lilmissymoo90) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

  • jai_dee
    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

  • lynnnnseyj
    Lynsey (@lynnnnseyj) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I'm not a customer thank God. The complaint was with your construction teams obviously completing half arsed work.

  • DrRichCollins
    Richard Collins (@DrRichCollins) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Thank you, but any chance you might actually try to resolve the issue rather than just redirect me to policies?

    @virginmedia I am going round in circles. I’ve DM’d you several times and NEVER get a reply. Terrible customer service.

  • phykell
    Phykell (@phykell) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Doesn’t surprise me one bit. Definitely the worst brand as well.

  • ollyp3
    Ollyp3 (@ollyp3) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Wait - you have to stay on a contract or cancel. Why can't they just cancel what you were sold, give you the compensation (which they are legally required to on Ofcom auto compensation anyway for lost connectivity) and fix your service urgently. I cannot believe you are being held to a missed contract without the perks of said contract! Apalling

  • TracyFi31470652
    Tracy Field (@TracyFi31470652) reported

    @TonyDabell @mark_wootten @virginmedia yep virgin are dire and don’t get me started on trying to speak to someone in another country as they don’t give a ****

  • Luv_Farmers
    Chrissie (@Luv_Farmers) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I'm surprised that an investigative journalist even accepted these conditions in the 1st place. VM has an awful reputation for this kind of behaviour which is widely known. Sorry this happened to you but it was to be expected

  • GillGRobs
    Gill 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🩵 (@GillGRobs) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Really? They just sent me a new 360 box as they said mine wasn't recording properly yet I had no problems with it, they have ripped me off since I changed the account into my name from my late partners, no difference just a name change ive now been forced into a new contract.

  • KrYpt923317
    KrYpt (@KrYpt923317) reported

    @Benleo Disgusting customer service. I’ve had many issues with then. Financial Ombudsman Service have always helped, but now they’ve changed regulators, who are almost as bad as VM. Virgin Media just hiding behind a great product.

  • mandy83906280
    mandy (@mandy83906280) reported

    @Benleo They, Virgin media are terrible. I'm with Plusnet now, wonderful customer service, always speak to an English person in UK, they pick up quick too.

  • nightrider20244
    Ian 🇬🇧 (@nightrider20244) reported

    @Benleo @CherryFaves0 @virginmedia They are useless the call centre staff are clueless I was only trying to be able to log into account on line and change bank details with them still never got it done all time I was with them I had to ring up every month to pay bill the only thing they understand is taking money

  • MKE4612
    Mick (@MKE4612) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Make sure you announce which show you'll be showing this on, I would be very interested to watch. There are so many horror stories of people who are vulnerable and getting scammed by these mainstream companies like Virgin. **** them up Ben.
