Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Belfast and nearby locations:

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

    @virginmedia This is not about @ofcom stopping the compensation this is about you taking money for provision of for exapmple 350mbs service and not delivering on this !!! And then not admitting that this may be the case and continuing to charge customers!! It is unethical

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

    @virginmedia What a load of crap why did you ask in an earlier tweet then? Eh? Pure PR stunt - give that appearance that you’re concerned but I’ve called you out on it - why does that not surprise me? Perhaps @ofcom would be interested to know of this behaviour!!!

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

    @virginmedia had problems with the app couldn’t log in on bill day and then it slipped my mind thanks for the late fee first time I’ve done it feel like a very appreciated customer ... not !

  • nigelivy Nigel Ivy (@nigelivy) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @jasonsloan46 @virginmedia Landed up cancelling and going with Plusnet. I'm so over paying premium prices for subpar customer service & their product is so unreliable.

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

    @virginmedia No that’s not what I said - the exec team did not resolve this issue and did NOT acknowledge that @virginmedia were aware that levels of service may not be provided due to demand - this first I heard of this was TODAY !!!

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

    @virginmedia It’s not really any of your business who I choose to involve in this dispute and I haven’t taken to Twitter necessarily to solve my individual problem - I am here to highlight that @virginmedia are charging customers full price for services THEY KNOW may have issues due

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

    @virginmedia @Ofcom So surprise surprise call through to support - automated service says hub needs to be restarted AGAIN !! (8th time since Monday) but instead of the option that used to be there that allowed you to get connected to someone - now gives instructions and hangs up #badcustomerservice

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

    @virginmedia And yet you upgraded me in April have been charging me (with a very small refund for when there was no service) and despite literally hours of contact with you, 3 engineer visits, 2 new routers sent and only TODAY admitted that there may be issues due to demand that could cause

  • eastbelfastgirl Ash Patterson 🌈 (@eastbelfastgirl) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Can someone get back to me please, my TV service is off and my broadband

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

    @virginmedia @Ofcom Were aware of this and continued to charge a higher rate - I wonder how many other customers out there are in the same position being charged for a service that you are failing to provide and @virginmedia providing excuse after excuse and still charging customers !

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

    @virginmedia As for the number of router resets I’ve done - too numerous to count!! And continually arguing with a customer for the record is NOT the way to win them over

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

    @virginmedia @Ofcom Again nonsense the “escalation” team are the ones supposedly dealing with it .... again ANOTHER demonstration of your departments failing to take ownership of the issues and the customer being the one left with fees still being taken, a poorly functioning service and wasting time

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

    Finally had a manager call me back from @virginmedia quite helpful in trying to resolve the issue as it stood but then tells me that the automatic monitoring and refund scheme for loss of service policed by @ofcom was suspended because they were aware that with the ...

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

    @virginmedia The intermittent dropping in the service #timewasting #poorcustomerservice - I am furious and to find out from a manager that this was a known possibility as recognised by @Ofcom!! So much of my time wasted and other customers also being charged for #poorservice

  • Ye_Tian_1223 Tian Ye (@Ye_Tian_1223) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Can’t cancel the broadband service from @virginmedia . Since 2 July, we tried to sent numerous emails/feedbacks and no response received; called for several times and waited for 20 minutes with no one answered the phone. No access on the webpage to cancel the package as well.

  • EitherWalnut Lauren 🐝 (@EitherWalnut) reported from Comber, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I know you are there - you've been replying to other people here on twitter. I've been waiting two and a half hours to be answered now because I can't do anything online. Is this really considered an acceptable level of customer service?

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

    @virginmedia From a @virginmedia customer service manager that I spoke to this morning!!

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

    @virginmedia @Ofcom Just rechecked with VPN off - absolutely no better !!! But I need the VPN because the assigned IP address is blocked on some websites and @virginmedia are telling me it’s not their problem !!! @ofcom is this the way a service provider should behave - 3hours in the phone yesterday

  • RedcapFilms Redcap (@RedcapFilms) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Of course, my internet goes down (AGAIN) just as @virginmedia sends me a 'fun' email. HOW ABOUT A WORKING SERVICE?

  • SCIGONE SCi (@SCIGONE) reported from Lisburn, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia can you downgrade your tv package... looking to cancel my sports package....

  • Chesky88 Francesca Fiddes (@Chesky88) reported

    @virginmedia Hub 3. Please can you fix ASAP as I need for work

  • DEPtones 🇩🇪 DEPtones ⚒️ (@DEPtones) reported

    @amsquared @virginmedia This is happening more and more and the inability to fix it promptly is just not good enough. More money wasted on something we can't use. Times are tough and people look forward to these matches, and pay money that is hard to come by. Shameful from inept Virgin.

  • paul_damien Paul Damien (He/Him) (@paul_damien) reported

    @virginmedia It won't let me sign in to register my complain........ FFS

  • DegsyScott Derek Scott (@DegsyScott) reported

    I really don’t know why I stick with @virginmedia ... been using message service on app and now it’s logged me out and I can’t get back in to retrieve the latest message. Their customer service is the @Ryanair of the ISP world... aka.. not fit for purpose

  • jillheartsnyc Jill Robb (@jillheartsnyc) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @itvhub is the most infuriating catch up service - super slow, buffering, forced adverts, no fast forward / rewind (that works).. via @virginmedia anyway. ..needs a serious update

  • jbeez1989 JoshB (@jbeez1989) reported

    @AlastairGodwin @virginmedia Can't even login to 'My Virgin Media' account on the website 🙃

  • gurstacey Gareth Stacey (@gurstacey) reported

    @BruceysMags @virginmedia Probably wishful thinking. Loads of Virgin users complaining. Virgin have acknowledged there is a problem but no mention of a fix date/time. Keep tweeting them - power of social media

  • heritage1944 Mark Pearson (@heritage1944) reported

    @virginmedia My BB is so unreliable & so is Virgin cust service 150. Have tried calling only to be on hold, transfer then cut off. My next DD end of month is cancelled! Virgin already broke contract & I have tried my best to discuss. As an essential worker not wasting more time.

  • jbeez1989 JoshB (@jbeez1989) reported

    @AlastairGodwin @virginmedia Must be a server outage. Same problem here.

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from Ilford, England

    @TheEmmaGoodwin @virginmedia I left this company after lockdown 1.0. It’s a pain getting a new service provider BUT it’s worth it in the end.
