  • davmacfc Dale McDonald (@davmacfc) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia No it’s not fair at all John, I’ve been a loyal customer of virgin for quite a few years and the price increases along with the differential to new customers have got too much. Soon to be an ex customer if I can get through to your call centre @skytv any thing you can offer

    @virginmedia Connection is terrible it was working when first put in but you had damage at a location that you fixed now it’s not working the TV or the kids can’t get online

  • davmacfc Dale McDonald (@davmacfc) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia can you please explain why the best price as a loyal customer for years is 30 pound more expensive than a new customer. Can’t even get through to right department to cancel

  • TrevorAKilleen Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I didn’t say it was an instant response service !!! I said that YOUR COLLEAGUE said they couldn’t access account information on social media !!! So they were lying then? This would seem the case if you are now asking me to provide the complaint reference?

  • bernardmccabe Ben McCabe (@bernardmccabe) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia 4 days since internet cut off and still no sign of fixing it. While I’m paying a stupid amount for the privilege.

  • TrevorAKilleen Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Yet a new LOW in crappy “customer service” from @Virginmedia - letter saying they have been trying to contact me (still waiting for a callback from 26/8/20) no attempts made and to text a number to get someone to contact me ...... guess what an automated system that gets

  • TrevorAKilleen Trevor Killeen (@TrevorAKilleen) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia No I did not “tweet you” about the complaint I was agreeing with another customer & saying that I am having the same experiences-YOU responded to that tweet by asking for the complaint implying you were actually going to do something which you have not!! Further proving my point!

  • Chengaiz_Khan Chengaiz Khan (@Chengaiz_Khan) reported

    @virginmedia Still no broadband and your status page still shows that there are no issues. It has now been more than 48 hours. At what stage does this become breach of contract for virgin?

  • alantucker Alan (@alantucker) reported

    @virginmedia Intermittent download and upload speeds causing connections to drop out. Website and app say no issue but when called the support agent said there was a know problem.

  • EmmaSStansfield Emma Stansfield (@EmmaSStansfield) reported

    @virginmedia Monitors have been put on the lines. CS advised could see issues but couldn’t advise how to fix. We’re still paying full price for service that is intermittent at best. Frequently have to connect to phones in order to be able to work which is costing a fortune in phone bills

  • MaireadButler Mairead Butler (@MaireadButler) reported

    @virginmedia router broken, 3-4 business days for a replacement. 2 folk working from home, need working broadband before the middle of next week. Any way to speed this up please?

    @virginmedia we've been having issues with wifi since yesterday, are there problems in E15 in East London? I can't log into our account to check as the account holder isn't here right now.
