Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reportedDo @EE have any actual humans, other than those on commission in sales, working for them? Almost as bad as Virgin Media, certainly worse than @BT who seemed to have taken the worst from both companies and merged. Are there no good comms companies out there?
-
The Navigator (@Navigator429) reported@virginmedia hi. I am an ex customer of yours but it seems my account is still active. I keep getting emails alerting me to someone trying to log into my account. How do I request my account to be deleted? You shouldn’t hold an active account for me if I’m not a live customer.
-
Scouse House Bouncy Music (@ScouseBouncy) reportedSo fed with @virginmedia. The sky sports plus system has not been working for over a week and they have done nothing to fix it! Starts playing and then crashes, works on the crappy stream box but the quality is poor, works via the apps and website but not on the normal box!
-
Colin Chapman (@cochap) reported@virginmedia when do you expect to get issue sorted in the ML2 area. Virgin been down for over an hour?
-
Wingssherpa (@WingsSherpa) reported@VirginMedia_TV Shouldn’t it be ‘heavy entertainment’? I’ll look forward to that on Virgin Media Player. Actually, no I won’t because it never puts anything on there for UK viewers.
-
Jack Ball (@j_ball13) reported.@virginmedia your bereavement team are a nightmare. We’re trying to transfer account from my deceased parent but we’ve been told we have to immediately cancel within 24 hours? Baring in mind we haven’t got anything else sorted to continue? Is this policy you promote to everyone?
-
Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported@virginmedia I have messaged. I have taken days off on multiple occasions to wait in for engineers to attend. I was assured that due to external works I would not need to be in today, however the issue STILL has not been fixed despite assurances it would be sorted.
-
Evasive (@tcevasive) reported@ziocto ok i think its just virgin media is shite then bc everyone i know with bad ping is on virgin
-
dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported@virginmedia I already said i did status check which is estimating 5.08pm fix. My point was text says should be fixed shortly. I dont consider 9hours being shortly. Why does this happen more often now? You are no longer reliable any more 🙁

Cmdr Anaander Miaani (@philbigdog) reported@virginmedia my neighbour has Gigabit fibre with you, their house is 20 feet from mine yet you claim I cannot be connected to the network. Please contact me on how I can fix this ludicrous error.
