Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia I was told to log into the Myo2 app to change it myself, but I have been sent no login details and of course if the email address is incorrect it won’t be recognised if I try to register. O2 said we would receive texts with updates on number port timeline but had no communication

Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported from Chester-le-Street, England“You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

Joe Duley American voiceover person (@Americanvoiceo1) reported@virginmedia @virginmedia AGAIN! All services-completely out! No explanation (although app says 'everything is fine') It's deceitful info. No BB OR phone. CANNOT ring customer service-at all. Now my life's mission is to escalate w/ CISAS because it's costing me financially/professionally. SMH
-
IzO (@IzO_TTV) reported@virginmedia You have literally the most infuriating customer service process known to the entire universe. I cannot wait to be out of this Devil spawn of a contract. I actually pray for the down fall of this company with a passion. Zero interest in customer needs just straight aggressive sales tactics. Get out of my life seriously.

nigel (@redwallreality) reported@biggle1908 Virgin media broadband is excellent. Problems start when you phone them…if you understand Indians with a less than rudimentary ability to speak English, go for it.
-

Neo ✨ (@NeoRobins) reported@virginmedia are abysmal. After harassing us for weeks by knocking at the door we decided to switch to them. Only to be left without wifi for almost an entire month. And customer service keeps making empty promises, telling us that it’ll be installed the next day.
