Hi @virginmedia just wanted to get in touch as just got off the phone with the bereavement team. All I wanted is to transfer the account to my mum as my Dad has died. But have been told you have to close the account losing our emails & leaving us without service for up to a week

@vmbusiness my business broadband is down and I cannot take debit and credit card payments. Also the WiFi will randomly cut out on us. Could you please check this out. I have a essential business to run, and I am not as lucky as @richardbranson to ask for a bail out! Help us!

Loving all the people moaning their virgin media being down. Most being paid for by their parents! Stop moaning! Either they’ve had a major piece of equipment fail or they’ve been hacked. Be patient, and it will be sorted. Or move to another and only get slow 30mb broadband!

@wordsbypage @virginmedia @BTGroup Friends overseas who move house tell me how reliable their broadband is, or how cheap it is, or how quickly it is to install. None of this variably download speeds nonsense or three plus weeks for an installation, it’s consistent service & move in day installation.

@virginmedia My house was only built 5 years ago on a small development of about 25 houses, we all registered but with only 25 properties the demand isn't there? Our internet is really bad and I'm worried it will cost me my job!

@virginhelp I’ve been a virgin media customer for 25 years and am raging after receiving a massive hike in my monthly payments. My contract comes to an end and I’m minded to move. Can you call to discuss or provide complaints number.
