    @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

    @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.

    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.

    @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 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

    @virginmedia I cancelled the service. A team member on whatsapp told me that I will receive my compensation soon. But I supposed to have that money on the first week of December. I spent too much time on the phone, explaning 4, 5x the same thing. Horrible! Too much headache!

    @virginmedia Hi. Thanks for your text. There's an unresolved technical issue with my online account that stops me from upgrading or getting PAC code.

    @tomhfh @virginmedia @O2 Used O2 for decades when I was working and travelling all of the globe. Now retired and shifted to EE who have a cheaper tariff and better data package if not travelling and you don't need such an extensive network. You would have guessed that choice works.
