    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.

    @virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

  • gazza_d
    Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England

    @virginmedia The signal struggles to get to each room in the house. My son complains as he games. No chance of streaming music in the bathroom. It isn't a big house either. The deal I'm on currently was negotiated when I spoke to disconnection team rather than intro offer.

    @virginmedia on 150 and 50 mins plus. You say its better to go on vm chat but that is not working. Are you guys working on saturday or saying we can contact virgin between 8am - 8pm was just a lie

  • rachaelinnc
    rachaelinnc (@rachaelinnc) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried every which way to contact you by live chat, community, WhatsApp and now been on hold on the phone for over an hour - can someone please help me please with an expiring contract?!!! This is ridiculous!

    @virginmedia ok it’s been over a week now 2 calls to customer support and I’m still locked out off my account which is stopped me using my app .

  • chris_knibb
    Christopher Knibb (@chris_knibb) reported

    Do not use @virginmedia Twitter - they are scammers. Spoke on the phone to VM call centre who said VM would never ask the questions this X account and the WhatsApp account they connect you with would ask. AVOID!!!!

  • chris_knibb
    Christopher Knibb (@chris_knibb) reported

    Could @virginmedia be the worst company to get in touch with? Trying to cancel my contract. Website isn’t working, chat facility is glitching and after two hours no one has answered the phone. Gone slightly crazy listening to the same jazz song over and over again!
