    @virginmedia why is the red button not working tonight for sky sports?

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

    @virginmedia Thanks, do you have an ETA of when you’re issue will be resolved? Many of us could of purchased this game with a different streaming service if we knew you would be having the same issues with red button as per usual

  • Christo72210007 Chris Christopher (@Christo72210007) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia Aaarrrggghhh, red button not working on Sky Sports tonight any idea why?

  • AllpointsTV AllpointsTV - Jamie (@AllpointsTV) reported from Guisborough, England

    @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

  • 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

  • stelambert1977 steven lambert (@stelambert1977) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

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

  • 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.

  • Arcamede Adam Cree (@Arcamede) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia are you having any issues in the North East at all? Our Internet has been awful for the past week!

  • NotEnoughTECH Mat⚙ (@NotEnoughTECH) reported from Ingleby Barwick, England

    Hey @virginmedia what's your support email address in the UK? Your website is absolutely useless in that regard

  • 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.

  • wicks_michael Michael Wicks (@wicks_michael) reported from Middlesbrough, England

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

  • 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.

  • AllpointsTV AllpointsTV - Jamie (@AllpointsTV) reported from Guisborough, England

    @virginmedia so trying to get an engineer to fix my 1gb internet after days of it running at sub 200mb and disconnecting at midnight it’s now been off for over a day . I just kept being told try again in one hour

  • eCommencal Miles Harvey (@eCommencal) reported

    @virginmedia You got in touch by phone and as soon as I answered you put the phone down. This happens EVERY time. Unconscionable. For goodness sake take responsibility.

  • JohnEll12196177 John Ellis (@JohnEll12196177) reported

    @virginmedia I have managed to get an engineer visit arranged by raising a complaint on the website and an online chat. Not an ideal situation but it has worked and I have a date. It would have been so much easier if I could have booked an engineer directly via the app.

  • 1878shadow Matthew (@1878shadow) reported

    @virginmedia It's just all around slow. Opening websites downloading WhatsApp. Poor.

  • lumpyelfring Rich (@lumpyelfring) reported

    @virginmedia The image goes blocky and sound cuts in and out as it happens. Then will return to normal. It is as if it is not being given enough bandwidth or there is momentary contention issues.

  • f1lmer Jay 🏁 (@f1lmer) reported

    @virginmedia Ok, eventually got through to someone named Olivia who was very helpful. And pleasant. Disarmingly so, in fact. She did that thing where she used empathy and friendliness to make me feel bad about being massively grumpy. Well done. 👌👏 And it really didn’t take long to…
