  • ChristianBunga7
    bristian cungay (@ChristianBunga7) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yeah, I’ve already done this. I had a guy sent out to take a look and he just left without fixing it. Mind I can’t use most of these support things cause I was never sent my customer number or contract information. This does also make it so I’m unable to cancel my contract @Ofcom

    David A (@tofolo_1) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia how do I contact the help team? Recently joined and trying to setup billing / online account says to call you. But 0345 is 30p a minute. Can't find webchat, can't find text thing, don't have a live landline yet. I can access the dark web easier!

  • G1NG355
    AR #55 (@G1NG355) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia that's us done with you guys.. We've been a customer of 30 years and incompetent staff have completed f*cked up.

  • G1NG355
    AR #55 (@G1NG355) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia Cannot be rectified as the services have been disconnected. I spoke with someone on Friday that said services would be reinstated within 4 hours. After 6 hours, we received nothing. Called back and basically said that call never happened and have no log of the call.

  • GiggsyBlantyre
    Alan Lappin (@GiggsyBlantyre) reported from Hamilton, Scotland

    @mcneill1967 @virginmedia Not filling me with confidence! Phoned for update, boy said he could help, which he couldn’t. Asked to be put through to CRT, “I’ll do that”. “Hello, Retention Team”. Nope.

  • tonymccaffery
    Tony McCaffery (he/they) (@tonymccaffery) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    Hey @virginmedia, can you help please? I’ve never plugged a landline phone to my router since becoming a customer. (I never needed one til now). So I just took the voip/landline adapter out the box and it’s broken. How do I get a new one so that I can plug in a landline? Thanks.

    @virginmedia Hi, any issues affecting ML3 0QJ? Had no service on my broadband for about half an hour and its been on and off all day. Thanks.

  • DavidMcGill7
    David McGill (@DavidMcGill7) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia TV & Internet was down for 4 days last week now it’s all off again & won’t be fixed until tomorrow night at the earliest, a dreadful service 🤬

  • donmackeen
    don mackeen (@donmackeen) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia That's useless. The service comes and goes, so you won't compensate me. And if have to deal with a "service" that continually cuts out

  • donmackeen
    don mackeen (@donmackeen) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia The service checker tells me either nothing, or - as in the screenshot - something completely contradictory. There is no way to communicate with anyone and yet, strangely enough, you still charge me for a service which only works intermittently.

    @virginmedia you have the worst streaming service EVER. Thinking of quitting you, because it's 💩

  • babslp_xo
    Babs 🤍 (@babslp_xo) reported from East Kilbride, Scotland

    @virginmedia why does your password reset function not work? Page says it’s down for maintenance when you click the reset link, been like this since I joined you in August and I need access to change my DD date

  • PotatoAimZero2
    Respawn Doesn't Respond (@PotatoAimZero2) reported from East Kilbride, Scotland

    @virginmedia Connection keeps cutting every 45 or so minutes. Receiving 0 to no network what so ever at any giving time. "Unstable network". Before you asked yes the router has been reset and tested multiple times. Turned off and on and yet still the same issue.

  • Coops_71
    Elenita (@Coops_71) reported from Thornliebank, Scotland

    @virginmedia I sent an email at 10.51 this morning which was delivered without any issues.

  • NorthernSaint72
    Paul Wilcox (@NorthernSaint72) reported from Barrhead, Scotland

    @virginmedia your broadband service is woeful. Every single day for months it goes off. Stuck in a contract that does not provide the service we pay for. All we are told there is an issue in our area. You won’t have any customers here soon.

    @virginmedia I need your help. I am having a nightmare with Hub 5.

  • TruthAsylum121
    (Re)Search & Destroy (@TruthAsylum121) reported

    THREAD 9 — COMMUNITY CALLING AND THE MONEY BEHIND THE DEVICES The Community Calling programme gives us another important part of the story. Virgin Media O2 and Hubbub have worked together to collect and redistribute unwanted smartphones. Migrant Help has been one of the organisations receiving devices for asylum seekers and refugees. Then there is the Tech Lending Community Fund. The first phase was worth £400,000 and supported charity partners to establish tablet-lending hubs. The projects included organisations such as Thames Reach, the Kurdish and Middle Eastern Women’s Organisation, Willowacre Trust, Refuge and Leeds Refugee Forum, with tablets and O2 data being made available through the programme. In Swansea, around 700 donated phones were distributed through a Community Calling project, with O2 providing 12 months of free data, calls and texts. Swansea Asylum Seekers Support made 127 referrals to the scheme in 2021. Its records also show £8,175 spent on phone top-ups, covering 1,160 £10 top-ups. There was another £2,400 provided by Hay Brecon Talgarth Sanctuary for Refugees. The funding came through organisations including the Moondance Foundation, Comic Relief/SCVS Emergency Fund and Welsh Government/SCVS Integration Care Fund. This is where the investigation starts moving beyond technology companies. There is philanthropic money. There is council money. There is Government money. There is corporate money. And there are charities distributing the resulting technology.

    @virginmedia wasted my time talking to your customer services. My contract is up, you’re offering me same package for £27pm online and asked customer service for a better deal and they offer me £43pm! Guess I’ll go elsewhere then

    @andyburnham Just keep issuing massive fines to these companies like you did with Virgin Media until these companies make it much less complicated to cancel their subscriptions.
