  • citamo Chris #FB #ProEU#Rejoin#BLM#GTTO,NHS 💙 (@citamo) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia @justwearmasks Instead of employing robots in your impossible to contact call centres and ripping of the public for your shareholders, set up a proper system of customer care which is accessible, helpful, considerate and capable of fixing customer problems quickly and competently.

  • gaznolan Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @beardedian @virginmedia @O2 Set up fee and possibly extra for the service you'll have before the next DD comes out?

  • Jim_Gardner_ Jim Gardner 🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@Jim_Gardner_) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @SimonMarksFSN Ironically it's the only streaming service of the latest to launch I considered subscribing to here in the UK because CNN removed itself from Sky and Virgin Media when Warner announced its own streaming platform. I hope it now comes back, although it never left LG's WebOS IPTV.

  • rachsclarke rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia You realise we’ve already missed 35 minutes of this 90 minute match? Are you going to be refunding customers due to your inconsistent service

  • rachsclarke rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm your sky sports red button will be working tonight for the Boro match as there is always problems with it, as if it’s not I’ll purchase the match with a different provider instead. Plenty of notice here for an 19:45 kick off

    @virginmedia what’s going on with your website unable to access via my O2 or Vodafone mobile network. No problems with any other websites 😡

    @virginmedia Yes , and it says no issues and then asks to check my equipment , this test says there is an issue with my equipment and I should check again in 24 hours so an engineer can be arranged . This has now been saying check back in an hour for the last two hours

    @virginmedia Finally red button service working on Virgin. Only missed half of the @Boro match!! ;however commentary is from the Blackburn match. #PoorService #virginmedia

  • Thejollyevfan The Jolly EV Fan (now living up in the North) (@Thejollyevfan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia DM me so I can give contact details. Don’t think it would cause a problem but I’d worry about affecting neighbours services or possible future services should we come back to you.

    @virginmedia No service for 6 hours here in Brighton BN1 3AD. I want to register a loss of service, but the website ‘sorry we cannot do this’ when I try to do that online.

  • wisebynameonly Alex (@wisebynameonly) reported

    @IreadMad @virginmedia Not just me then. Sites down.

  • zuffle Ben (@zuffle) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing, just about another three failed chats with @O2 customer service. Now coming to the end of day five, this is ridiculous.

  • BarbaraMolony Barbara Molony-Oates 💙 She/Her (@BarbaraMolony) reported

    @MerseyBlueBear @virginmedia Yup. Ps @virginmedia look at the photos I posted! I clearly know 1. How to get to your service page and 2. Have proof that it’s not affecting over 25% of people in my area as when she checker works it shows there is no problem

  • jamesnicgillies James Gillies (@jamesnicgillies) reported

    @virginmedia No email service in Edinburgh currently. Virgin website gives no indication when back. Can you help?

  • tmahee Maheedharan Thiagarajan (@tmahee) reported

    @virginmedia It was a scheduled visit to fix a connection after move and the visit was rescheduled.. the cost was mentioned to us after the visit didn’t happen as promised and not during the first calls

  • Rose00313477 Rose (@Rose00313477) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there, I contacted you not long ago over some email account issues. It was fixed temporarily but seems to be playing up again. Cant get in touch on the phone or via WhatsApp so would really appreciate the help. Thanks Emma

  • sabrinacecelia Sabrina (@sabrinacecelia) reported

    @virginmedia can you please explain why the internet cuts out daily in the SW9 area? Would make a fifth call to you, but I don’t have the patience for awful customer service after my work calls have been disrupted yet again.

  • PreetiPhull PreetiPhull (@PreetiPhull) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely ashamed with your service & promises. Haven’t been receiving internet properly, reported the problem 30 days ago & monitored the speeds. You guys said you would disconnect all services without fee if the intermittent broadband continues. @BalBhamber

  • SteveReach steve reach (@SteveReach) reported

    @virginmedia I have no words to describe how poor your service has been if I would I’d warn everyone how bad Virgin customer service service can be
