    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

  • Shaunelious
    Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Or asking what outcome they want. Anyway, not long after I get a text saying a technician is coming out that I haven’t agreed to and if I’m not home when they come it’ll cost £25. So I have to call up to cancel that and was then told I can’t add to my complaint….

  • Shaunelious
    Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Red button for virgin, which I know isn’t true as I’ve used it before. I asked to raise complaints several times to which they just ignored before eventually saying they would raise one. He then said it was raised. Never known a complaint raised without someone describing it…

    @virginmedia Hi. Weve just moved house and are trying to install a new router but house connections look out of date. What is the best contact for someone to help with this as may need someone to come out?

  • 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

  • stumpy1982
    Michelle Coleman (@stumpy1982) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia please sort the red button out!!!! There’s always issues! Wrong commentary on the red button games!

  • PeteYourDoom
    Peter 🐈🎸🕹️🍺♈ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia It was working fine, then went off and came back but the hub was flashing green quite quickly. When it renegotiates it's usually slow and steady green flash but this was really quick

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

    @virginmedia great service NOT! Called yesterday to disconnect and was blatantly given incorrect information by the chat agent. Had a call today from another retention agent asking how he could resolve the issues so I explained what happened. (1/2)

    @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.

  • DanielHill21
    Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia So why do you not have a chat system? I work in a similar industry and we are able to help our customer through chat, phone, online, social media it’s crazy a company of the size of virgin media can’t accommodate us. Not having a go at you I’m just disappointed in the system

  • simonmp68
    SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I have tried phoning and am being passed from pillar to post on chat. I have no services. I’m housebound and cannot do anything. I’ve asked for help as suggested and am receiving none. Very unhappy

  • sharon_mulcahy
    sharon mulcahy (@sharon_mulcahy) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia what the hell is going on with the broadband today this is ridiculous no service all day!

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

    @virginmedia So when does that happen and why was this not pointed out at any time in the cancellation process. Now I'm not a customer how do I lodge a formal complaint please?

  • MrTaylorM
    BoroMike (@MrTaylorM) reported from New Marske, England

    Looks like #virginmedia is down again in New Marske. If it’s preventative maintenance they should tell us.

    Ryan Wilšon (@Ryan_UTB) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia your internet is so bad

  • 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

  • LumbWriter
    David Lumb Writer (@LumbWriter) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia why is the internet down? I've checked and you're aware of this issue. I would like it sorted out

  • RBullockITV
    RACHEL BULLOCK (@RBullockITV) reported from Eaglescliffe, England

    Hey @virginmedia your WiFi down yet again, third time this week. I’m in TS16 but suspect we are not alone #virginmediadown

  • DannyTaylorDT
    Danny Taylor (@DannyTaylorDT) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    Every single championship midweek fixtures, there’s always an issue with the red button. They either forget to turn the game on or instead they’ve now managed to put the wrong commentary on. Sort it out @virginmedia @SkyFootball. Wrong commentary on the Boro game

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

    @virginmedia how can I cancel my contract? Unable to get through via phone.

    @virginmedia I hope you don’t charge full price next month as you can’t provide red button service today

  • RyanCartiers
    RyanCartier (@RyanCartiers) reported

    @virginmedia No, that has resolved nothing. A fundamental change to actually learning to provide timely customer service is required. 6 min. to schedule a call back 20 min. later - approx. 30min lead time Pick up phone and resolve issue <5 minutes. who needs math class?

    @virginmedia @kathleenp442 Not everyone as apps they pay for skysports on TV expect it to work thts two days in a row when is the expected fix

    Jimmy Swanston (@jimswanstonlive) reported

    @EllisMartin @SkySports @virginmedia Funny enough it was working when I watched the EFL cup when Watford played so something wrong somewhere it annoyed me as I couldn't watch the Huddersfield game first game of the season it sucks

  • Daibish79
    Dai boy (@Daibish79) reported

    the red button on Virgin doesn't work on Sky Football. Only seen the first 10 seconds of the Swansea/Stoke game before it went off and it hasn't come back. @virginmedia

    @kathleenp442 @virginmedia A technician came out to me a week ago, hadn't a clue what to do, problem still exists @virginmedia no compensation on my bill !

    Olive (@nongnangning1) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia I never pay more than £23 for my Virgin internet. Whenever my "special offer" runs out and they want to increase my bill, I just tell them i'll leave then and they relent...

  • alex___jones
    alex jones (@alex___jones) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t sign in as my email address has changed. No one at Virgin can be bothered to help. Complained numerous times. Shocking company

  • kathleenp442
    Kathleen Peters (@kathleenp442) reported

    @virginmedia I've tried to watch it on my phone via the sky sports app and that didn't work either. Feeling disgruntled. You've managed to send a recent update to our virgin box but can't fix this!
