Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England@virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years?

Liam Bolger (@LiamBolger7) reported@virginmedia @Smallworth_xx @virginmedia state on the MyVirginMedia up service page that they are working on it as quickly as possible and the estimated fix is by 11:08am on 28th August. Even if that was a typo the 18th would have been comical as it was. £108 per month + the right to add in year increase!!!
