  • darrenMaginnes Darren Maginnes (@darrenMaginnes) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia what’s the issue with your internet, this is two weeks in a row that you’re servers have had problems, how do you feel taking customers money and them not being able to use it then putting the charge up!!!

  • Chlochlo2234 Chloé (@Chlochlo2234) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia this is day three without our broadband working and you’re impossible to get in contact with. Working from home is impossible like this! HELP

  • Domsball Dominic Bryan (@Domsball) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Wish I could tell you it was better. But the internet is going on and off every few minutes. The service has been good for the last couple of months but since yesterday evening it has been terrible. Sorry.

  • paboy113 Paboy (@paboy113) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Broadband is so frustrating. Family going nuts! I’m sure VM staff are trying their best to fix but not good enough. Been on off on off in BT4 (Belfast) for weeks. Router switched on and off with no improvement. Seriously thinking of closing top home package account.#virginmedia

  • Bluebird_7777 Bluebird (@Bluebird_7777) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I've been trying to get thru on the phone since good Fri my multiroom box is broke it makes a squealing noise checks have been done an still dossnt work I need a new box but can't get to speak to someone wat can I do im paying for a service I can't use

  • MGR1980 Rossi's Rovers (@MGR1980) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia evening, we recieved our quick start package but the account needs to be activated. We have two young kids and have been a few days without service. I have used the text service but haven’t received a call back.

  • Rightpeg PeteB (@Rightpeg) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    Worst part of being on hold to @virginmedia is having to listen to Coldplay ☹

  • Domsball Dominic Bryan (@Domsball) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia To say your service is patchy at the moment would be generous.

  • essv28 Ellen (@essv28) reported from Dundonald, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia answer your phones please... my vulnerable parents want to cancel their sports channel as you can imagine £££s are tight now but they can’t get through... please advise

  • Mark_G_J_R Mark McCourt (@Mark_G_J_R) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @creppermint @virginmedia 2/ maintenance or scheduled maintenance, but just turning it off no warning when people are trying to work from home is just poor service. The website is useless, no faults showing and call centres closed, no way to contact them...

  • sheilaloughlin_ Sheila🖤❤ (@sheilaloughlin_) reported from Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland

    @Mcgoo1978 @virginmedia I dont have it but my sis and friends is down🙈

  • d_pelissier David Pelissier (@d_pelissier) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia another weekend, another outage... If that's to be the new normal, then perhaps your competitors will be better at handling it. #NoWiFi

  • Domsball Dominic Bryan (@Domsball) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia It was showing a fault this morning but it now tells me everything is fixed. However the WiFi continues to come and go ever few minutes. I have reset twice but there is still a problem ongoing from 10.00 last night.

  • florence3810 florence mitchell (@florence3810) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

    Been holding important meetings from home using Virgin as my provider. I did 5 last week, one each day lasting all day. Each day the internet went down for a variety of times. I can’t get in touch with Virgin - I waited 50 minutes on the phone to have my call dropped @virginmedia

  • Mark_G_J_R Mark McCourt (@Mark_G_J_R) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia BT5 Belfast 7 hour outage, any chance we could get an estimate on when this will be fixed, or even an acknowledgement from your status checker that there is a problem, constant problems for the past month.

  • Chlochlo2234 Chloé (@Chlochlo2234) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I’m not sure what your system is for replying to these but I’ve been trying to contact you for days. I’m being ignored whilst more recent queries are being prioritised & answered. Broadband is still not working. Can’t work from home at all now. FIX IT.

  • radiogeordie Geordie On Your Radio 📻🔊 (@radiogeordie) reported from Ballyclare, Northern Ireland

    @onairwithgareth @virginmedia Seems to be network wide mate, stations VM business line keeps dropping too.

  • belfastbabe66 mandie omalley (@belfastbabe66) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    So after keeping me on hold for 53 minutes you just hang up on me, I appreciate your down to a skeleton staff but how rude, is this how @richardbranson is getting money to pay for his failing airway @virginmedia

  • MGR1980 Rossi's Rovers (@MGR1980) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia evening, I was wondering if you could help, we received ourr starter package but the account needs activated, tried the text number but haven’t received a call back. My wife is a nurse and we have two small children and have been without internet for a few days now.

  • lorenshanxn LAUREN SHANNON (@lorenshanxn) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @fashiontrain @virginmedia This is why I left them never got the internet speeds they promised the whole time I was with them

  • katy_morris Katy Morris (@katy_morris) reported

    @virginmedia Having finally got through to someone, the update is that yes there is a fault (surprise!) and that it should hopefully be fixed by 09.00 on 15/12 or 92 hours after it occurred. This is a truly terrible service @Ofcom, both in terms of internet provision and customer service

  • AwlyMGMT Awly (@AwlyMGMT) reported

    @virginmedia my wifi router is not working so im using data and i can’t play my frenzy farm rn so im very pissed you guys own me £400

  • SLimpalot Sir Limpalot (@SLimpalot) reported

    @virginmedia No, I've visited SIX locations from the Collect+ website and none of them would accept it. I eventually got throught to your C. Service dept and they are arranging a collection. Somethings screwy with your deal with Collect+ 👎👎

  • PaulYatesShire Paul Yates (@PaulYatesShire) reported

    @virginmedia You ever tried getting in touch with your team? I've spent hours on hold then been cut off. You don't answer emails & you're never available on live chat. Do you want your equipment back or am I just binning it?

  • nishp Nishchal Patel (@nishp) reported

    @virginmedia even landlines phones not working

  • nishp Nishchal Patel (@nishp) reported

    @virginmedia it's a Bot service. Are you kidding me?

  • CraigBlack5 Toods (@CraigBlack5) reported

    @virginmedia is virgin media down in g73

  • jonnywildes Johny Wildes (@jonnywildes) reported

    @virginmedia You don’t help and won’t answer EVER!!

  • crutter89 Chris Rutter (@crutter89) reported

    @LaurenFreeeman @virginmedia Hi Lauren, I totally understand your frustration. My issue was due to the box not being activated prior to install and there isn't anything you can do at your end. I gave 0345 454 1111 a call and it was sorted pretty quickly. Wouldn't have thought you need an engineer for that.

  • philmoore79 Phil (@philmoore79) reported

    @virginmedia The problem is the WiFi is working, but only in the room with the router, it won’t round the whole house.
