    Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Nope. I have username already selected to my email address, password filled in on both fields, security question drop down selected and answer given in the field, and date of birth drop downs all selected. There’s nothing else I can select or that hadn’t been filled in now.

    Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Adding a character and then removing that character worked. By pasting the password in, it wasn’t accepting the password regardless. It needed a character to be manually added. I’ve never seen that before on any password fields on any other site, seems like an API issue maybe.

    @virginmedia I need some technical help as my equipment is faulty. Tried all the resets and followed advise but box keeps going into standby. Also not been loading any tv planner or what’s up next for weeks. The box is over 7 years old. Think a technician would be helpful

    AWFUL SERVICE. Wrote to @virginmedia about my mobile; no response so rang 789 who cut me off 3 times as they couldn't put me through to that office in Swansea. Direct number online was wrong. On 4th call logged complaint; they to ring me back in 3 days. Not holding my breath.

    @virginmedia disappointed to say the least. Customer for 5 years, out of contract, bill is £120 a month, Phone up to renew and negotiate, no offers. Despite Amazon being a new competitor for sports and the mobile experience being infinitely better with them. Package cancelled.

    @virginmedia Please note @Ofcom that @virginmedia has been down across south west London for 48 hours due to a 3rd party digging up a cable. Virgin Media’s network resilience; disaster recovery; and customer comm’s are inadequate.

    @virginmedia I logged complaint in Jan & heard nothing, had to ring for an update, didn't get the best service there & found no complaint was logged. The guy said he'd log one and I'd get an email, at no point did I say that the complaint was resolved but got an email to say it's resolved!!!

    @virginmedia It's asking me to sign in John. I can't sign in. That's why I need help

    Mark K (@kolokube) reported

    @virginmedia I have called every day for the past five days. Your CS promised to call back – they didn't! I still don't have an incoming service & you can't provide me with a PAC. You are holding my number to ransom. I want compensation for the HOURS spent trying to resolve this. #OFCOM

    @virginmedia @TheBHF @O2 This is fraud and I would like to take it further with the omardsman. I wish to put my complaint through but the email server doesnt allow this and I don't want to phone as it is very stressful.

    Simon E 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴‍☠️ (@thelazydj) reported

    @virginmedia 3 separate issues. 2 of them say around 16:00 and the other 18:00. None of your engineers working anywhere near my house or surrounding streets so shall I assume this is not a local problem?

  • RichardMeaghan
    Richard Meaghan INTP (@RichardMeaghan) reported

    @virginmedia @TheBHF @O2 I have just tried using the customer complaints email and it has be returned back to me. I closed an account in May 2022 and was then charged for following months. I had to pay this to close the account a second time and now I have CapResolve asking me for more money???

  • Eddie_Vermeer
    Eddie Vermeer (@Eddie_Vermeer) reported

    @virginmedia a rival company to yours has just severed the Virgin cable in the road when installing their own cable. There's a hole outside where you can access it to fix it. Except when I called, the soonest anyone can reach this area to fix it is about 72 hours.

    @virginmedia I can only check the signal in the rooms where I have signal. If I try and run anything from the room with hardly any, I -understandably- lose signal and it can’t. Like the app won’t even rec WifiMax to me because it will lose signal halfway through checking issues.
