  • 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

  • bobobalti Bobo Balti 🎩 (@bobobalti) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @br_Fk5 @virginmedia Having same issue with Sky at in laws.

  • 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

  • Pascalstil Pascal Stil (@Pascalstil) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Nice nonsense answer. One of our connections here in the house has been down for two weeks because a second connection was added, this ome is all on you

  • DrRichCollins Richard Collins (@DrRichCollins) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Thank you, but any chance you might actually try to resolve the issue rather than just redirect me to policies?

  • _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?

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

    @virginmedia So if I left virgin mobile I could get the deal but it I stayed a virgin i whould have to pay more why can’t you price match yourself it’s stupid when I can go to a price comparison website and get cheaper for the same company

  • seansteenson Sean Steenson (@seansteenson) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Ive had some scary experiences with customer service but as always @virginmedia always take the Oscar for worst customer service performance. #virginmedia

  • mfearonmusic Michael Fearon (@mfearonmusic) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Then I noticed that I was missing the children’s channels. I called and got it sorted but I was told the new bill will show as £150 odd but not to worry a manager will be applying discount, that never happened.

  • mfearonmusic Michael Fearon (@mfearonmusic) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Imagine being miss sold a product and no manager can resolve the issue, even after a month!, shocking @virginmedia #virginmedia

  • DrRichCollins Richard Collins (@DrRichCollins) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Two calls to 150 left me with little confidence that issue would be resolved. Neither seemed to know what was going on... VM have my number so I would appreciate if someone with some technical knowledge could call me. You’re currently not providing the service I’m paying for

  • DrRichCollins Richard Collins (@DrRichCollins) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia hi, how do I escalate a complaint through customer service please? New service connection as of Monday... tv service still not working despite 2 calls (and v long waits) to customer service number. Not happy and considering cancellation.

  • deewoodvalemufc David Simpson (@deewoodvalemufc) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia There’s been issues with it ever since it was installed! K for keck . Richard balloon head sort it out to ****

  • deewoodvalemufc David Simpson (@deewoodvalemufc) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia your broadband is a heap of **** . Cakesmackers

  • mfearonmusic Michael Fearon (@mfearonmusic) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia I called again on Saturday to resolve this again and I was told this was a crazy amount of discount and that any TL or manager would find it difficult to approve. After hours on the phone and all Managment unable to help, I’ve now been advised to make a complaint.

  • ianmoran Ian Moran (@ianmoran) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    So is YouTube buffering a thing now ? Running Speedtest on my Apple TV i get 330/40 with Virgin Media and yet pretty much all videos will initially have buffering issues

  • Pascalstil Pascal Stil (@Pascalstil) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia The housemate who's connection it is has been in contact many times, apparently on Monday he was told permission was needed from the account holder of the new connection, who jas not been contacted about that, and it also sounds too stupid to be true

  • mfearonmusic Michael Fearon (@mfearonmusic) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia And I was also advised if it wasn’t resolved soon I should show the contract agreed to ofcom. Hopefully you can fix this or escalate it, thanks.

  • 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 :)

  • jazzyrath3 Jazzyspurs (@jazzyrath3) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia your broadband service has been s**t the last 4 days in the BT8 area. Any chance of a fix as I am trying to work from home and having to use hotspot on my phone to ensure I can stay online. A trip to BT when my contract is up.

    @virginmedia terrible service. why do large companies screw the public just because you come away from them : modus operandi 1. ignore client 2. keep taking money 3. ignore again 4. ignore and don’t refund money owed 5. continue ignoring, including letter to head office.

  • MekeWhy krispy (@MekeWhy) reported

    @virginmedia I get a contract per £38 a month now I got increased to £45, wth? The internet work bad, this internet it’s already expensive, it’s a shame I can’t afford to cancelled now and I’ve to expend extra money on it for 1 year more, completely dissatisfied with the service and prices

  • Asg51asg Asg (@Asg51asg) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, it then says enter the email again, it’s the email I only use and have only used for several years, I thought the system was down yesterday but it’s doing it today, I’m worried that I can’t access my emails

  • wlmager WLMager (@wlmager) reported

    @virginmedia I changed my bank direct debit details last month without any issue - this month I've been charged a late payment fee due to a missed payment last month. Can you clarify what's going on please?

  • leanneweaving45 leanne Weaving (@leanneweaving45) reported

    @virginmedia Well this is exactly why this never gets sorted because there is always a problem.....I'll complain to the Gov Data protection team as I just keep getting no where. This is utterly ridiculous!

  • SeaNetScribe Susan (@SeaNetScribe) reported

    @virginmedia My router/ hub rebooted itself this morning randomly. Twice. No warning. VM sent link to check cables and plug. It was working, it gave up all by itself. What good is a link telling me the hub is not working esp as link requires Internet that I do not have
