    @beardedian @virginmedia @O2 Set up fee and possibly extra for the service you'll have before the next DD comes out?

  • 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

  • Sarahlw_95 Sarah-Louise Wilkinson (@Sarahlw_95) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia is it normal practice for your employees to shout at customers down the phone and then hang up?

  • TownsJake JAKE (@TownsJake) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia No i just been disconnected so this is another 2 hours wasted, i just want to cancel my services now

  • 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.

  • 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 😡

  • Gurudarlington Guru Boutique (@Gurudarlington) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia I’m the home owner Beryl Hankin, and was told the phone number would stay the same when I changed. I queried this with the Virgin engineer who rang Virgin and assured me it was in hand. That was weeks ago but it never happened.

  • Loulameg Louise Donaldson (@Loulameg) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    Having an absolute nightmare with @virginmedia on the phone since Thursday and still no further forward, the staff literally just tell you anything to get you off the phone. Anyone know how I make an official complaint? We’ve had no services for days now

  • chlowilson__ Chloe (@chlowilson__) reported from Redcar, England

    Virgin media wifi is down again.. surprise, surprise

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

    @virginmedia Media, I want to cancel

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

    @virginmedia Wireless mainly, even though the device is right next to the router. This is the 3rd day in a row - never had this problem in the 10yr of been a customer

  • 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.

  • werbedoyle gary doyle (@werbedoyle) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia every month I make the same bloody phone call, you are thee worst company ever !!! Customer service is appalling over charged massively for four months,IS any one out there !!!

  • 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.

  • TownsJake JAKE (@TownsJake) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia has the worst customer service by an absolute stretch, been trying to sort my broadband and tv out for about 6 hours

  • werbedoyle gary doyle (@werbedoyle) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia hey hey virgin media wifis down. Your web site says it fixed ????

  • Gurudarlington Guru Boutique (@Gurudarlington) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia The number I wanted to retain is at my private address not my work address which is shown on this Twitter account. I doubt the number is still live with BT and I feel let down.

  • stelambert1977 steven lambert (@stelambert1977) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Finally red button service working on Virgin. Only missed half of the @Boro match!! ;however commentary is from the Blackburn match. #PoorService #virginmedia

  • 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

  • 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!

  • KandyJane Katy Jane G (@KandyJane) reported

    @virginmedia Oh and please don’t be ridiculous enough to suggest that FMS means Faults Management Service because I really do think that would be quite pedantic

  • LindsayGoldtho2 Lindsay Goldthorpe (@LindsayGoldtho2) reported

    @virginmedia Customer service is absolutely shocking, being trying to speak to someone over the last three days about reducing my package, they have been no help what so ever, I’ve been hung up on, put on hold for over 25 mins, looking elsewhere now had enough.

  • itsedwardojesus Eduardo Jesus (@itsedwardojesus) reported

    Could somebody from @virginmedia explain why you’re happy to disconnect me and loose me as a customer (of 10 yrs) rather than adjust my bill after you’ve incorrectly charged me?

  • LollyPopLotus Libby (@LollyPopLotus) reported

    4th call this week (2nd today) from @virginmedia marketing team. I’ve updated my contact preferences but that takes time to go into effect. Why do VM think spamming me w/ calls will make me want to stay as their customer? Shouldn’t have to update details to not get nuisance calls

  • jennyj_87 Jennifer H (@jennyj_87) reported

    @virginmedia what is up with my broadband!!! Pay top money and can't even watch Disney plus and it's the new router. Why is it so bad??

  • Optional_Karl Just The Bassist (@Optional_Karl) reported

    @virginmedia trying to log into my Virgin media account. Does not recognise my email, suggest I use account info. Log into email that it doesn't recognise to get bill details. Copy and paste these. Doesn't recognise these either. Wtf virgin.

  • kevkirk76 Kevin Kirk (@kevkirk76) reported

    @virginmedia There is NO NEW SUPPLIER. I just want the accounts ending as the numbers are no longer used and haven’t been since I requested to cancel in December.

  • steinerdrome Ben Steiner (@steinerdrome) reported

    Hi @virginmedia you seem to have deliberately made it impossible to cancel a broadband contact. Would that be a fair assessment?

  • michealzelinski Stefan (@michealzelinski) reported

    @virginmedia please help! I have spoken to 2 reps and I am no further ahead. New customer here..

  • Etparadox Para (@Etparadox) reported

    @virginmedia my box is about to go to the scrap man if I can’t get speaking to a human customer agent very soon
