    @virginmedia I need some advice and help regarding an urgent issue yet keep getting blocked at every turn. Real good customer service for a longtime customer. Needs sorting

    Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I wouldn't recommend your media connect app its awful, the booster you sent out does exactly zero, as for blackspots around the house that would be anywhere in the house more than 1.5m from the hub, all the software in the world won't polish the turn you call a superhub

    @virginmedia any chance we'll get reimbursed for the service outage in the TS20 postcode? 2 days we've had a fault

    @virginmedia what the hell is problem with Wi-Fi ??? It’s been off for three days wtf

  • Danielson_1991
    Daniel Thompson (@Danielson_1991) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia I honestly can't deal with being passed around departments again. The problem is the WiFi is weak upstairs and I'm paying for a product thats not fit for service. You advertise intelligent pods to boost connections, all I want is to order one to resolve the issue.

  • 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

    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?

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

    @virginmedia as per usual the red button not working AGAIN the amount I pay you each month should provide me with a much much better service than this. What are you doing??????

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

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

  • andy_wilmot
    Andy Wilmot (@andy_wilmot) reported from Hartlepool, England

    £40+ a month for WiFi which cuts in and out. Just another day for a @virginmedia customer 🤬😡

  • john_watson_

    @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!

  • 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?

  • UKLightCreation
    Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia It's a waste of time tbh, all they do is insist I take the hub out of modem mode and when they do eventually agree you are rubbish and put me through to line faults they either just hang up or the battery on my phone dies

  • 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.

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

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

    @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.

  • 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

    Our phone lines and internet are down at our Wakefield office at the moment due to a national Virgin media issue. We have been advised that this is trying to be rectified as soon as possible and when we have an update from them we will update our social media platforms.

    @IainSankey @virginmedia Yeah wouldn't let me downgrade only upgrade or keep the same, but like you I wanted to drop off landline phone service and save money, I had no trouble switching but be aware virgin require 30 days notice to cancel

  • JohnMoo99882213
    John Moore (@JohnMoo99882213) reported

    @bmstewart2004 This is exactly why I cancelled my Virgin Media subscription and moved to BT over 5 years ago. My bill went down from over £100 a month to £42 a month. When my contract is up for renewal I make contact and negotiate a deal. I am now paying £39 a month for broadband & TV package.

    @virginmedia @_hayleighhxo They turned into a shambles of company I had no broadband for week, and they offered was £40 , so told them I’m not renewing in may, wanted £700 to leave now. I would not recommend them , been with them since 2009. They are awful company now.

    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

    Chris Gibbs (@ChrisGibbs9973) reported

    @virginmedia so no red button access for 4 days now , apparently your " working on a fix " as per on screen message but twice i have gone through the maze to chat someone in messages and whenever you finally get to a person they choose not to engage in the conversation. CANCEL
