@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.

@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

@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.

@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.

@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

(@ManicMundie) reported
@virginmedia Your system hasn't flagged it because I'm being fobbed off by your "technical team" who have got me to reset the hub twice and plug the ethernet cable into a device and it's still poor. I was tricked into renewing my contract with a promise of fixing the internet issue - lies!

(@chandjethwa) reported
@virginmedia Your estimated fixed dates are unreliable as your services. The engineer has been sorting the issue out since a year ago. I am always told switch off the hub and restart. It doesn’t work! Send an engineer

@virginmedia Tune up visit. An apprentice came to my house, spent 5 hours on the phone to his manager trying to fix a problem he caused...don’t worry about it, I’ve called billing & had it knocked off. Cheers.

@virginmedia Not happy about the price as well, at least once a month I have issues. And for £132 a month this should not be happening. @skytv what can you offer me?

@virginmedia Only getting 2/4 bars showing for 4G and has been at 1/4 all week with calls cutting out half way through. Does virgin still use the EE network? Or has it changed recently?

(@chandjethwa) reported
@virginmedia I waited over a year you saying it is reasonable to still wait? You don’t wait a year to charge for the service you don’t provide. I think this needs to be escalated with Watchdog and CISAS to add some weight. VM taking people for a ride
