  • Torig1983 Victoria Gillespie (@Torig1983) reported from Dunmurry, Northern Ireland

    So frustrated with @virginmedia sat for ages on live chat reducing my package.. was going through final stages and suspiciously my broad band went down Coincidence??

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

    @virginmedia No. YOU need to talk to me. YOU need to tell me what's going on. YOU need to sort out your woefully inadequate 'customer service'.

  • Dermo1888 Dermdog ☭ (@Dermo1888) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Never mind, send me my deadlock letter

  • nadean_ni 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.

  • nadean_ni Nadean (@nadean_ni) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia both tv and broadband have been down for well over 24 hours now. Not good enough! Any reason for this?

  • Torig1983 Victoria Gillespie (@Torig1983) reported from Dunmurry, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Working now but annoying as has taken most of afternoon up... now waiting for pc to reboot and virgin media chat doesn't work on phone so kept being given to runaround and redirected to faq pages. .such a faff

  • 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.

  • nadean_ni Nadean (@nadean_ni) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia It may be an issue you're already aware of but it's going on for 3 days now and not even as much as an email to explain why.

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

    @virginmedia Nearly an hour trying to call. I have better things to be doing on a Saturday. This is atrocious. All I want is an explanation as to why I have been denied a service for two months and lied to repeatedly.

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

    @virginmedia trying to cancel my SIM card went threw everything yesterday on watsap got transferred to retentions and now today I’ve to start all over again 😭 just cancel the sim im not paying it

  • BeauSooth Gerry McCrudden (@BeauSooth) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia "I am really so sorry that you are looking to cancel the services which I will need to get you connected with our customer relations team who will be able to help you further..." I had to ring on a different day as I had no more time that day

  • Dermo1888 Dermdog ☭ (@Dermo1888) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I'm shocked how poor you treat your customers. I cancelled my service 10 days ago and somehow you talked me into staying... but then failed to live up to your promises again... I have cancelled today. Thank God for the 14 cooling off period. #Broadband #complaint

  • SeanJPMcKee Seán MacAoidh (@SeanJPMcKee) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I opted out of marketing, it’s from your sales team trying to stop my from switching my service, it’s overkill especially as I’ve already had the conversation with your agents about it.

  • nadean_ni Nadean (@nadean_ni) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia It's been off for 3 days now!! Absolutely nothing. Had problems when I moved also a few months ago, kept taking the wrong address down and I basically paid for 3 weeks without service, now this.

  • AmandaFBelfast Amanda Ferguson (@AmandaFBelfast) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Hi. It now 4 hours since I started trying to resolve your billing mistake using your WhatsApp messaging service. I have had to explain myself more than half a dozen times. Please check the details and resolve the matter asap. Thank you. Amanda

  • bertford bertford no DMs (@bertford) reported from Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

    @sabele26 @Kat_Bee_123 @virginmedia Terrible none of them have good customer service, sky's as bad.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • nadean_ni Nadean (@nadean_ni) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia The link only states there are problems in the area, not why or how long we should be expected to be without the service.

  • beezlebum 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.

  • stevehalluk Steve (@stevehalluk) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 As I said earlier. No one at virgin customer service either cares or has a clue what they are doing so it appears.

  • karenpenf karen (@karenpenf) reported

    @virginmedia @Wimbledon Help we have no tv or internet again

  • TrebleTop Lee Knocking treble top (@TrebleTop) reported

    @virginmedia That's great but what is the SLA as I reported the fault on Monday? Life is too short to keep having this nonsense every time there is an issue.

  • TrebleTop Lee Knocking treble top (@TrebleTop) reported

    @virginmedia I've not got an engineer booked for tomorrow, however it's the same every time there is an issue, be it phone, TV or Broadband, the service is painful and you end up having to keep explaining the same thing.

  • Liam_McGroarty Liam McGroarty (@Liam_McGroarty) reported

    @virginmedia been waiting nearly a week now on someone to call me about moving house. We move in on the 20th June. Was told to expect the call within 24-48hrs and still nothing🤔. Only recently renewed my contract Aswell starting to rethink it now with the bad customer service!

  • Dr1Gun GunDR1 (@Dr1Gun) reported

    @virginmedia It happens at midnight from 10pm to 3am past 2days, not just for me but for whole uk. It takes 1 hour just to get through to some one i dont have time for that. Please fix the issue its nation wide, not a specific area.

  • SpiritAngels5 Katie Fowler (@SpiritAngels5) reported from Stapleford Abbotts, England

    @virginmedia how come when you want to cancel your subscription, after 2 days calling you, no reply, yet if I want to join virgin you answer within 2 rings. Now in a WhatsApp chat, since 3pm and still nobody has replied, but been passed from pillar to post! #frustrating

  • Andy0James Andy James (@Andy0James) reported

    @virginmedia I'm waiting on customer relations team. If I text that number I'll be back at square one talking to the people who can't access you actual deals and try sign me up to a full price contract

  • DanielGreensitt Daniel Greensitt (@DanielGreensitt) reported

    @virginmedia More than likely it’s probably been fine today, but soon as it hits midnight that when the problems start

  • Cara_L_RN Cara (@Cara_L_RN) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been back as a customer with you for only 1 week, and already a multitude of issues. Currently, the absolute dysfunction of your app and website meaning I can’t access anything. Not even to find a number to call. #frustrated
