Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England@virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would!

Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, EnglandSeems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

-
Phonetix (@RobPhonetix) reported@virginmedia What about those of us repeatedly requesting our myvirginmedia account be unlocked for the last 6 weeks (& even lodged a complaint about it) who are STILL unable to access our accounts with no explanation?
-
Michael Bradley #FBPE #SocialistSunday (@Mike_J_Bradley) reported@virginmedia When is this likely to be? I have stuck on the welcome page for over 24hrs. This is not acceptable and no information being shared on what the problem is and when service is likely to be resumed. Very poor
-
Matthew Holmes (@matthewailin) reported@virginmedia You boys going to sort this out tonight or are we still waiting for yesterday morning’s expected fix?
-
Onyourbikeson (@MableandMeUK) reported@virginmedia your O2 account integration is through worst ever. All I want to do is check my O2 bundle and I'm stuck in a never ending loop of being asked to link my accounts. Been crap for so long.
-
Dee H (@Dee_Har1762) reported@virginmedia ITV still not working
-
Jayne Catherall (@jayneycee) reported@virginmedia This is why we left you and went with @skytv as your service had become so unreliable
-
hellooooooooo (@debski2222) reported@BriefcaseMike @virginmedia I hope it comes back on for you ASAP. That's the trouble with these companies, you're late with a payment and they're all over you. But if they fail to provide service they shrug their shoulders.
-
Dave (@Dave_Syracuse) reported@virginmedia your WiFi is still not working. Please sort it out.
