    @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.

    @virginmedia Broadband is very temperamental. I’ve tried all the suggestions, reset the hub etc. It fixes the issue temporarily but seems to often revert to very poor speeds. Hub 3. Sometimes speeds show as fine, but on all devices the speed is poor.

    @virginmedia since my virgin mobile UK signal has been shifted from piggyback Vodafone to @O2 it has been a complete disaster, constant signal dropping, constant WiFi calling cutting. This is before my account has been transferred to O2. Complete and utter rubbish

  • DavidPMet
    David Phelan (@DavidPMet) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Yes. And another call already, that's 2 for today. I'm blocking both numbers. Terrible customer service practice.

    @JAcheson_Eng @virginmedia I’m sure they all have issues at some point although I’ve had Sky Fibre Broadband and it’s been very good and the service support over the phone has been really excellent. I had an issue recently and it was sorted in 30 minutes over the phone.

    @CatrionaKing1 @virginmedia I'm a total tech idiot 🙈 It's a huge part of the reason companies like Virgin can take advantage

  • DAVIDBUZZ2904
    DAVIDBUZZ2904 (@DAVIDBUZZ2904) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia But you haven’t offered me a better deal I’ve contacted you and nothing but if I leave you and join back I can get the deal it’s a bit stupid I might just go to someone else if you can’t price match your own deal

  • 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.

  • CllrMichaelLong
    Michael Long (@CllrMichaelLong) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @superbowler4 @virginmedia They are terrible.

  • 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'.

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

    @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 :)

  • RBlackPA
    Rebecca Black (@RBlackPA) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Its sorted, I’m switching to another provider. I’ve never had such a poor customer service experience in my life

  • DonnellyWAFC

    @virginmedia Hello, I have an ongoing issue with my Broadband Can you assist me please.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • DavidPMet
    David Phelan (@DavidPMet) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    .@virginmedia please can you stop calling me every day? Long term customer offered £45 per month renewal, got double the speed for half the price with @TalkTalk 👏🏼 Since then, repeated calls offering £20 per month package, should have rewarded loyalty to begin with! @Ofcom

  • 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?

    In the same 28 April email, Virgin Media wrote: "a dedicated chat-based support route for customers with reasonable adjustments is needed... an area where we must improve." They wrote that 6 days ago. Today the next cycle broke.

    @virginmedia Gadget Rescue overseas don’t really know how to help - plus 3x tech people. Please advise how to reach the cancel service team please. Thank you

  • Fraudly_
    George W (@Fraudly_) reported

    @virginmedia your online service is an absolute joke. You notify me of new monthly fee starting in May and I need to look at other packages if I want to change before new price takes effect. Only for your site to be riddled with errors and your bot to give me a broken link! With that link switching between error message and taking me right back to that same chat! And I shouldn't need to go round in circles chatting about an upgrade, much easier just doing it myself on your site. If it actually worked.

    @virginmedia Right, I’ve tried calling these things. None worked Which suggests it’s an app issue.

    8 hours worth of calls and 7 hours sitting on the live chat with virgin media and I haven’t spoken to a single British person 🤯 Genuinely the worst customer service Ave ever had in my life btw

  • kevinclarknw
    Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported

    More horrendously bad service from @virginmedia. Broadband in SR2 out AGAIN, estimated to be off for three days and website says you need to register the fault to qualify for compensation while offering no way to do so.

    @virginmedia absolute shambles of a service today, missed the football and now no Internet again for the last hour. Happy to send me 4 messages to say you've fixed "the issue" Time to move to another provider.
