Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.
-
Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!

LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England@jmstocka @virginmedia Has to be the worst app going. It regularly says this to me despite the 47 step verification
-
Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….
-
Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.
-
LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England@virginmedia In October agreed new contract, came to install last week got new router and have since cancelled the packages that was agreed. I am now been charged more and getting less services. Tried to resolve last week over the phone & not no further forward so just want to cancel now.

-
Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?
-
David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England@virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, EnglandWhy can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England@virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England@_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.
-
EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

Dr Amir Hamid (@DrAmirHamid) reported@virginmedia No it hasn't and its really poor
-
welshcake74 (@Welshcake74) reported@virginmedia Yes. It was the bereavement team that have the most awful and length process. So I’m doing it online. But I still had to wait on the phone and have the cancellation of contract spiel even though we aren’t cancelling. Just a poor process and no consideration for the customer

Serenity Solo Studios (@SerenitySoloDev) reportedVirgin Media may have the best broadband speeds for me, but lying salesmen and Virgins policies really has me thinking about cancelling during this cooldown period. I was told 1000mbps was the maximum speed here. I found out it was 2000mbps. I tried to change as I was unaware of this at the time, due to what the saleman told me, but they wanted to charge me £88 per month or so for the 2gb package when the 1gb only costs £33 per month. Even though the website says £55 per month for the 2gb package. I then asked about the upload spped matching the download speed. At first, I was told this was a different package, not an addon, so it would cost £88 per month in total. What? I then threatened to leave and rejoin with a new package as I was in the cooling off period. I was then told this was an addon for £6 per month. They can't change anything on my package though apparently. It now has to be sent to another team to check through this and I have to wait 5-10 days. This is the most confusing company I have ever dealt with. When joining Sky, I could change my package at any time and still be given the in contract discount. Sky may have slower speeds, but @Virgin have to have to the worst policies that kind of makes me regret changing over. If they say I still have to pay almost triple the cost, I may just take the loss of the broadband speed and move back over to Sky. Virgin are trying to rip me off as their sales representative who came to the door and sold me the package never gave the full information to me and said 1gb was their highest package they had for my area.
