    Mark McLaughlin (@MarkMcL60727750) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I am not happy with my Internet speeds. I have been a virgin customer for 3 years and have been told that I apparently have too many devices connected which I have never heard of with any previous provider. I have 100mbps and have had nothing but slow lagging stream

    @virginmedia Hello, Broadband service isn’t currently down, postcode BT20 4NS, I have rebooted router, and tried to call, but it says offices are closed. Please investigate/ fix.

    @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

    @virginmedia worst service ever. Who can I speak to about cancelling a contract that has never gone more than 3 days without freezing and buffering?

    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

    @virginmedia I’m unable to get any internet on my phone. I’ve had to log on to wifi to send this tweet. Is there something happening with the network at the moment?

    @virginmedia Please see my previous tweet which was ignored asking how I could raise such a complaint.

  • _JennyMcKiernan
    Jennifer McKiernan (@_JennyMcKiernan) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Your complaints team appears to have lied to me. They've failed to register my formal complaint about harassment & what appears to be a criminal data breach. This is all over a router that was returned a year ago. Can you help?

  • Fionnominal

    @virginmedia internet down. Newlodge Belfast. It’s hard to tell though because it’s speeds sometimes are slow and stop.

  • BelfastBooks
    Belfast B❄️❄️ks (@BelfastBooks) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Well done to @virginmedia’s off shore support team for taking a loyal customer of 24 years, treating them so insensitively that they’ve now cancelled their contract and will go elsewhere for phone, broadband and TV.

  • Pacman4370
    Paul Hamill (@Pacman4370) reported from Whiteabbey, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Still No one has contacted me. Poor service from @virginmedia poor broadband speed sand now poor customer service 👎👎👎

    @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.
