    @DanWalk32531219 @virginmedia Just checked at 2am, finally back up again, though poor speeds on a speed test, hopefully will improve by the morning 🤞

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

    Absolutely atrocious service AGAIN from @virginmedia - broadband, TV, telephone - all down and Tuesday is the earliest anybody can be bothered to come out - from one of the largest telecoms companies in the UK 😡😡😡

  • 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?

  • 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

  • WheezyRider44 Matt Greenfield-Westcott (@WheezyRider44) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia But this has gone on for months, not days or weeks. It can't be that difficult to identify the problem and find a solution.

  • john_watson_ 𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕠𝕟 🎧🎙📻 (@john_watson_) reported from Redcar, England

    @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!

  • john_watson_ 𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕠𝕟 🎧🎙📻 (@john_watson_) reported from Redcar, England

    @PandOminous @virginmedia Same here also TS10, no communication from @virginmedia as to whether it's down to the issues in Roseberry Square, and 3 to 4 network vans at the box, a car went in to it apparently. Even just an eta of when service will be restored would help!

  • john_watson_ 𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕠𝕟 🎧🎙📻 (@john_watson_) reported from Redcar, England

    @dakotafiction @virginmedia Just want an eta of when this will be completed or resolved, can't even watch the firestick! It's obviously an issue looking at the amount of comments on Facebook.

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

    Hi @02 @virginmedia has all the allocated of @peterkay_co_uk tickets been sold for today? Been waiting ages - staring at a white screen…. Communication would really help please?

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

    @virginmedia I’ve got 16 months left on my current contract but I’d like to cancel it as I have good reason

  • john_watson_ 𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕠𝕟 🎧🎙📻 (@john_watson_) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia @dakotafiction And still website says no issues!!

  • 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…

  • WheezyRider44 Matt Greenfield-Westcott (@WheezyRider44) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia Is your red button not working again?!?

  • roytomo1970_roy Roy1986UTB (@roytomo1970_roy) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I've been on hold four 1hr 20 mins. I need to cancel my account. Please reply

  • 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!

  • 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….

  • AndreaAndymac andrea mcdonald (@AndreaAndymac) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia again I have to go through social media to contact your company. I need to speak with a human regarding your poor customer service

  • john_watson_ 𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕠𝕟 🎧🎙📻 (@john_watson_) reported from Redcar, England

    Our broadband in TS10 has been down all day, the status page says no issues, but self test says there is no connection @virginmedia - is this related to the issues at Roseberry Square, Redcar, and when will it be resolved. So far no communication from you!

  • john_watson_ 𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕠𝕟 🎧🎙📻 (@john_watson_) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia @dakotafiction Same here ts10, broadband is down, your status says no issues!

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

    @virginmedia I’ve cancelled the visit but why should I have to call back in the first place to cancel a visit I didn’t agree to? I wanted it adding to my initial complaint or raising separately but no one was interested. Cancel my contract

  • Andrizu05 Andrew Harrison (@Andrizu05) reported

    @virginmedia just been on hold trying to get through to the cancellations department, eventually got through and call was terminated. How can I cancel my services due to the ridiculous price rise. Your phone lines are a disgrace

  • FGLBFAKF Iain (@FGLBFAKF) reported

    @virginmedia And here is a glowing example of the wonderful service of Virgin Media. They made a mistake and disconnected my service (very promptly, didn't take 48 hours to do that as it was disconnected exactly at midnight on Friday despite having been extended to the end of March). 1/2

  • Allstarii1 Allstarii (@Allstarii1) reported

    @virginmedia When you ring there is also no mention of a technical fault... That was the issue on Friday though

  • bluemoonkurt kurtabove (@bluemoonkurt) reported from Salford, England

    After spending hours on hold (at least 4 today)and being cut off.i wonder if @virginmedia could explain to me how I cancel my contract with them?it honestly looks like writing a letter would be quicker..absolute joke

  • KeithMo66324437 Keith Moore (@KeithMo66324437) reported

    @virginmedia worst company I have had to deal with in my life every year same old process this is the last yr I will be on your books

  • anna_woolhouse Anna Richmond (@anna_woolhouse) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah unfortunately in practice the accessibility is incredibly poor! Have you tried your own customer service?

  • ashrichardsafc Ash Richards (@ashrichardsafc) reported

    @virginmedia Been trying today and still the same issue. Quite frustrating for a ‘tele communication provider’
