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

    @virginmedia No! It's your issue with your equipment. You should be keeping me, as a valued customer, informed. I've spent hours listening to crap music waiting to get information about this. Then being lied to. Do better.

    @virginmedia tried contacting your customer services number to be told straight away that you are too busy, who can I contact to fix an issue we are having?

    Nadean (@nadean_ni) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia @TaylorMod Yes we've checked, the world and its granny knows VM is down in Belfast but this has been since Monday now. Absolutely ridiculous. Cost me a fortune on data when I moved and VM kept getting the addres wrong, was well over a month without the service and this was 2 months ago.

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

    @virginmedia No! I've just spent 26 minutes trying to get through, so I'm just going to pester you on here instead. I've raised three separate complaints to no avail. My only recourse is public humiliation. For a communications company you're really very poor at it.

    @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

    @virginmedia if I’m gonna follow you support service, to text a problem to you, surely me waiting 48 hours later with no reply is a bit too long?

    Cannot believe how @virginmedia treat their elderly customers. 75 year old women completly let down Have taken her money and delivered no services for two months. Disgusting to leave her isolated with No Sevices and no communication.

    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.

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

    @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.

  • jazzyrath3
    Jazzyspurs (@jazzyrath3) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @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.

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

    @virginmedia Then I noticed that I was missing the children’s channels. I called and got it sorted but I was told the new bill will show as £150 odd but not to worry a manager will be applying discount, that never happened.

  • lynnnnseyj

    @virginmedia hi, how to I make a complaint regarding construction. Office is now closed and the team were in a meeting earlier. Is there an email address?! Really not good enough!!

  • lennylinfield
    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

  • 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.

    @O2 I am currently in the USA and received a message about roaming charges ending on the 20th. I am a Virgin Media Volt customer and should have O2 Travel Inclusive Zone. Can you please confirm my account is set up correctly so I don't get charged tomorrow?"

    The mother of a 9-year-old seriously injured in an e-scooter incident says the consequences of these crashes can be life-changing. Her son was hit by a 15-year-old while on his way home in Leixlip last summer and, a year on, is still walking with a limp. Hear from her on the News at 5.30pm. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY and Virgin Media One.

    @virginmedia @aquarius16th Hate the new interface and how it all works even to get to my recordings. Can I change back it’s awful.

  • Blinkfan180
    Robin (@Blinkfan180) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Terrible service. Internet would regularly drop at least once a day. Been on gigaclear and Internet has gone down twice in 10 months. Speeds comparable too. Also use sky stream. All good too.

  • DeviateDefiant
    R.L. MacMurray 🇬🇧 (@DeviateDefiant) reported

    @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I've switched, I'm getting an Openreach FTTP line installed in a couple of weeks 👍 I've gone through BT, not sure if I'll stick with them, or just cancel within the 14 days - but that line gives me access to tons more ISPs. Latency will be way better than old Virgin coax too.

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Horrific company. So disappointed since we joined them in December. So many broken promises.
