    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I was told to log into the Myo2 app to change it myself, but I have been sent no login details and of course if the email address is incorrect it won’t be recognised if I try to register. O2 said we would receive texts with updates on number port timeline but had no communication

  • purplelime
    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.

    @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

    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/

    Murdocke (@murdocke) reported

    @virginmedia your broadband has gotten noticeably bad these last few years, you used to be impeccable but now there’s always some fault you can’t fix and it gets pushed back again and again. ******** has happened to you? Your engineers lately are ******* shite. (Customer for 25 years)

    Stoneycat ≅ 🏳️‍🌈💚🏳️‍⚧️ (@stoneycatt) reported

    @ClaimDeparx7p0 No chance. Making a fake account to try and get info out of people trying to fix a problem is pretty ******. Are you aware they are doing this @virginmedia ?

  • duranie1000
    MeddazzaDuranie (@duranie1000) reported

    @virginmedia had no service for a week. Engineer due today between 1-4. Now been told they won’t arrive until 7.45pm?? How is that acceptable?

  • Nichola09215766
    Nicholas (@Nichola09215766) reported

    @virginmedia Are you able to contact the staff that used to work on them because I have a long running complaint and despite forum staff having access to info nobody at 150 can help and apparently the ONLY time my problem got identified and fixed nobody can find except for forum staff.

    jason (@Jason29wctb) reported

    @virginmedia All they say is need a engineer and I tell them no but send them any way knowing they can't fix it ,if I cancel £1600 ,even tho it's illegal to hold me I a contract with a service that's not fit for purpose

    Jon Ashman (@JonAshman2) reported

    @virginmedia I’m paying £176.00 per month for your services so quite frankly an apology isn’t good enough I’ll contact yourselves later regarding my contract the service you now offer is woeful

  • goodridgehelen
    Helen Goodridge (@goodridgehelen) reported

    @liamgallagher Bloody Virgin Media packed up at 4.30. Had family coming over. Said it wouldn’t be back until midnight. Can you believe it. Watched on daughter’s phone 4G. Buffing and 6 mins behind. Poor for virgin media.
