  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia could do with hiring a load of people out of work to work from home. The call wait time is horrendous. About the 10th attempt to get a problem resolved...

  • PattersonFionaA Fiona Patterson (@PattersonFionaA) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia we’re all trying to work from home and the internet is down! You’ve got to be kidding! Sort it out please #virginmedia @Andypat3

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • larmour_andre Andrew Larmour (@larmour_andre) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia brilliant service. Quick call to downgrade package/pause sports 35 mins hold and call just terminates. Bet if I stop paying the what is it £105 a month I’ll be cut off in minutes and phoned constantly for the outstanding money.

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • AshDigsFilms Ash (@AshDigsFilms) reported

    Ah awesome, @virginmedia putting my mid-contract Bill up by £15 a month. That's really fair and indicative of the service I get.

  • CordleBrett brett cordle (@CordleBrett) reported

    @virginmedia yet again shocking service. Install delayed for a further two weeks, that will be 6 weeks from the original install date. Do the right thing and give your customers honest answers.

  • mailsanchu mailsanchu (@mailsanchu) reported

    @virginmedia Only problem video is cropping out as shown in the picture above

  • BforBen Ben Cheetham (@BforBen) reported

    @virginmedia can you help track a home broadband speed upgrade please? Placed an order on Monday via website, received order email with estimated activation date of today. It doesn't seem to have been actioned yet and no further info.

  • PindsLdn PindsLDN (@PindsLdn) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband down - as a remote worker this is somewhat inconvenient. Your app has my old contact phone number from a property 2yrs ago but app won't let me change it. Beyond frustrated - I pay a lot and expect better! Please help!

  • TheHouseInTown The House In Town (@TheHouseInTown) reported

    @virginmedia utter incompetence reaches new heights. All wiring & boxes installed weeks ago, and now you tell me you can’t provide me with a service. Also signed with VM business weeks ago & they don’t reply to calls or emails. Bangalores finest strikes again!

  • jgoldingay James goldingay (@jgoldingay) reported

    @virginmedia We are paying for a service that we are just not getting

  • HayleyBelfast Hayley Allen (@HayleyBelfast) reported

    @virginmedia persistently bad or no phone reception since you switched networks. I have no signal within a 2 mile radius of my home so can’t call customer services. Can’t log into app and WiFi calling not working either. How am I supposed to get help?

  • __Tony___ TonyParker (@__Tony___) reported
