    @virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

  • Rainbowztwit Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

  • tenchylad Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

    @virginmedia Great to know but doesn’t sort my issue, I’ve told yesterday I was getting a virtual appointment and no one followed up. I have issues every day and I keep being asked to wait a few more days to see of it improves but this has been going on for ages and you can’t get it sorted…

  • oskar5x5 paul barker (@oskar5x5) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry but the network is down again been like this for past 2 hrs and my other half works from home so causing major issues.

  • portfelio Felio Sotomayor (@portfelio) reported

    @virginmedia For the extortion you charge, customers should be compensated. Absolute shambles. My network status log makes for unpleasant reading.

    @virginmedia My 360 box has been locked on start up for 45 mins. Turned on & off countless times. Phone help just cuts me off after going through options. I’m seriously at the end of my tether with VM! So many issues. Just have someone at the end of the f!!!ng phone!!!

  • saytoazeem Azeem Khan (@saytoazeem) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia , This was the same commitment I got earlier with two engineer visits. Can you confirm if this is not resolved we should be allowed to cancel the contract without any cancellation fee to get rid of a useless service #virginmedia #VirginMediaoutage #virginmediadown
