    @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

  • 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!

  • 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 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Johnsonator85 Marc J (@Johnsonator85) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Media, I want to cancel

  • 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

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

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

  • Evansmama05 Lianne Evans (@Evansmama05) reported

    @virginmedia what the hell is going on in postcode PO13 area? No phone, tv or WiFi for 48hrs? Can’t even contact you to cancel as no messages, calls or anything available! What a sh1tshow! 😡

  • tony1hazell Tony Hazell (@tony1hazell) reported

    @simonnread @virginmedia Never had a problem in six years with BT. Before that was with Virgin and suffered regular slow down and drop outs

  • Immortal_Genes Immortal Spirit (@Immortal_Genes) reported

    @virginmedia my broadband has dropped for the 5th time this week. Why is it so unreliable and why do you make it so hard to contact customer services

  • DAKershaw Dave (@DAKershaw) reported

    @virginmedia No idea, but I do not expect to be treated like an idiot. I am an IT manager. I know how this stuff works. I've had a text to say they have fixed the issue. If they have they have changed the wrong street as I have had no improvement

  • trishmitch Trish Mitchell (@trishmitch) reported

    @virginmedia I understand it’s a local fault (since others were reporting the same issue) but I’m curious as to what it was

  • kerching Dastardly Whiplash (@kerching) reported

    Once again @virginmedia displaying awful customer service. 2 hours of phone loop hell - to be told that I need a new router - which an engineer has to install at the arse end of next week. So a full week no broadband

  • Evansmama05 Lianne Evans (@Evansmama05) reported

    @Stubtastic @virginmedia We’re without WiFi, tv and phone now for 48hrs; wfh is really difficult and no text/email, phone or comms chat to ask! I agree; crap customer service; will be moving to Bt as soon as we can! 😡

  • bazza141 Barry bhoy (@bazza141) reported

    @virginmedia Doesn’t come as a surprise that this shambles of a company has not contacted me advised they would ! When are you going to realise that we as customers are your bread and butter . Being treated this way will result in you losing me as a valued customer

  • ianjeffray Ian Jeffray (@ianjeffray) reported

    So @virginmedia did an "upgrade" to our cable service yesterday/today. Throughput remains the same, but ping times are NOTICABLY WORSE. Thanks for that then. 😣

  • Evansmama05 Lianne Evans (@Evansmama05) reported

    @virginmedia @DanBassrunner We’re down in PO13 now for 48 hours! Other half a cyber consultant so don’t ask if we’ve tried all the tests! Can’t even get through on the phone or chat; both wfh too. Proper crap service this 😡 😡😡
