    @virginmedia Why does your organisation make it so difficult to raise a complaint? Please advise with whom I may raise this.

  • 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

  • SiClayton
    Simon Clayton (@SiClayton) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    Hi @O2 @virginmedia have all todays allocated tickets for @peterkay_co_uk been sold for today? Been waiting ages - staring at a white screen…. Communication would really help please?

  • 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 why is the red button for the football not working? #virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia My services are suspended. I am housebound,no tv no internet. I only ask for an extension to further my services for one week but company rules and non-existent customer service is really upsetting me. I’ve been a loyal customer and feel betrayed

  • 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…

  • AlanHewitt10
    Big Al H (@AlanHewitt10) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia how do you have the front to increase my bills by nearly 20 percent and yet your service has been awful lately. In the morning my tv broadband and landline is going. And my mobile will not be renewed.

  • mark770
    Mark Walker (@mark770) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia My issue is bband been down since Thursday night and Friday a tech visit for this morning between 8 and 12. Due to an outage at your end, the visit was incorrectly cancelled as your records showed as "now fixed". We didn't find this until contacting yourselves after 12 today

    @virginmedia any chance of speaking to a human regarding my television service

    @virginmedia It's working now. Just would have been good to have been informed and kept in the loop that there was an issue being worked on, the status page was useless, stating no issues!

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

    @virginmedia @Virgin I have received a reply which advises me that query won’t be dealt with or further replied to immediately. I am desperately trying to hold it together here,please please can you help me sort this out.

  • 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?

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    @virginmedia It's been going on for 8 weeks. I'm going to document this all and put it online for everyone to see how poor you have been. It's so stressful and you are doing nothing to help

    @virginmedia Down in exeter - my TV screen keeps dropping out to black for a fraction then back on again - is line with the problems you’re having ?

  • mec337
    mec337 (@mec337) reported

    @virginmedia why am I paying for a service every time I want to use it, it never works. Have been with you 23 years - I’m done

  • shauny67
    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @virginmedia @kimtaylor18 In 2026 I cannot understand why people want to pay for a TV service that you can subscribe to yourself. I have Virgin 1Gb then I subscribe to Netflix Amazon Prime & Disney, when it's F1 season I subscribe to Sky sports but I can cancel when I want at no extra charge

    RosyPosy 🌹 (@RosyPosy_kitteh) reported

    @IamCarrieagain @virginmedia .@virginmedia truly shame on you, do you realise how difficult it is for disabled people to be without the internet, unbelievably bad practice, and after the difficult time you also gave to my elderly Mum I’m glad not to be a customer too, if this is the way you provide a service.

  • waledbinkhaled
    waledbinkhaled (@waledbinkhaled) reported

    No broadband is in my property for last 3?weeks. Constantly calling @virginmedia everyday and they are giving me new timeline every single time. Problem is not solved but only empty promises.

    @saltyy_savage I had Virgin media for years and only issues and expensive contracts. I am on Plusnet right now £43/46 for 900mb with 0 problems and uk customer services. They do £3 increase yearly and I am curious to see my first contract end what I'll get. Bet still better than virgin

  • ShirleySarah70
    ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reported

    @JaneVCarroll @virginmedia Theyve been downright rude to me on the phone today. As soon as I can cancel my services with them the better. A customer of over 20 years and because I'm a mature 72 year old woman they speak to me as if I'm stupid. Cancelling next week.

    @virginmedia @BonesE78 Mine is exactly the same Terrible service

    @IamCarrieagain @virginmedia The BNC (round) cables are the same, and the ethernet cables are the same. The only real issue you might have is changing your WiFi password on each device you have, and swapping the power brick depending on where you have your router.

    @MrBenGrant @virginmedia They are absolutely awful, after we've recently had issues i rang and arranged for an engineer to come out, guess what? They never showed up! Not even a message to say sorry or a call to apologise for the inconvenience of waiting in..😡
