    @virginmedia @btsport as a VM customer with the BT Sport add-on, can you explain to me the idea behind having the only reason I have the BT Sport add-on, UFC, having major events locked behind a secondary paywall and then still increasing the package cost. Not only double

  • Marsoma Marsoma (@Marsoma) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done all that. There was an issue in the post code but it says it’s sorted now, but it’s not. Still nothing at all!

  • liquidborn liquidBorn (@liquidborn) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia broadband has just gone down in BB12, I work completely from home so this is extremely frustrating for me. Please help. Router has been restarted twice.

  • dejkirkby 'Motivated And Confident' Mags (@dejkirkby) reported from Burnley, England

    @WilfSauce @WrestlingJebus @Archiebald_C I have Virgin Media, so haven't had to use TVPlayer personally, but I know of people who have and it's worked perfectly fine. I believe there is a rolling contract for the service of £6.99 after the event so make sure you cancel afterwards.

  • oO_MarkT_Oo Marky T from We Are G4m3rs (@oO_MarkT_Oo) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia please can you tell me the service status on BB12 7DF. My speeds are non existent and your service page on the website is down.

  • Marsoma Marsoma (@Marsoma) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Had no internet and TV service for over 24hrs now, can’t get through on the phone and it says the broadband issues are sorted on the service check online...it isn’t.

  • seanyseanysaeny Flying Officer O’Connor🇬🇧 (@seanyseanysaeny) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s rubbish. The service you provide is really poor. All you ever get told to do is switch of and reboot. Never works.

  • maggiehtfcmay M (@maggiehtfcmay) reported from Sowerby Bridge, England

    @andym1900 @virginmedia My phone goes onto emergency calls only when I leave the UK. Even happened when I went to the Islw of Man🙄 Never had an issue before signing up with them. Poor do.

  • ScottShaqNelson Scott Nelson (@ScottShaqNelson) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia problems with my router and your tech help told me the cables must have come loose. I didn’t touch or move the router or the cables and your help got it back on by telling me that me tightening it resolved it. I never touched it. can’t you admit the router is faulty

  • SallyOdonnell Sally O'Donnell (@SallyOdonnell) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Hi thank you however a good start would be you to know your client base. Some of us are just not tech savvy and being talked to like an idiot is not the way to win hearts and minds let alone customer loyalty. Felt very undermined and very disappointed.

  • IanCardy2 Ian Cardy (@IanCardy2) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    Service from @virginmedia is disgusting for existing customers! Dial 150 hold for 20mins someone answers but can hardly speak English then hang up when I ask for a new deal #customerservice try calling back & it’s busy so “sorry can’t help today call tomorrow 8am some of us work!

  • mikeyparkinson Michael Parkinson (@mikeyparkinson) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia I have and it says no issues... It was off this AM

  • seanyseanysaeny Flying Officer O’Connor🇬🇧 (@seanyseanysaeny) reported from Silsden, England

    @SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK @virginmedia are quick enough to take your money but not so quick to help out when things go wrong...

  • deghunter dianeG (@deghunter) reported from Brierfield, England

    @virginmedia trying to work from home with regular weekly loss of broadband isn’t a service, it’s a disgrace. Will be leaving

  • DustySubstances Denise Tomlinson (@DustySubstances) reported from Richmond, England

    I do know people have worse problems but not having internet, mobile phone signal or home phone working is proving a nightmare. #virginmedia and explaining to a 2 yr old why he can’t watch Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures and Hey Duggee isn’t much fun either @CBeebiesHQ

  • Angela_Jeng Angela St Clair-Ford (@Angela_Jeng) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Extremely disappointed with @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp after negotiating over 1 mo to get a new supply, they’ve cancelled our order. Why is it so hard to try to be your customer #grosvenorcrescent

  • vikki_mcintosh vikki mcintosh (@vikki_mcintosh) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yes but she wanted me to stay on the phone while she filled in a form despite me telling her I can’t as I should be working. She only seemed interested in closing the complaint without me being happy with the resolution

  • davidfiggins David Figgins 🌱🌎💚 (@davidfiggins) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I start watching movies on the sky store, then around 20-30 minutes in its says there's a connection issue and disconnects completely, not allowing me to get back on. It comes back on about 5 minutes later.
