NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England@virginmedia You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it?

Arrived home to Dublin called 1908, "sorry we can't help you have service now", you should have contacted when you had no service....!
-
Richard (@xTHEDROIDx) reported@virginmedia I'm trying to link my parents virgin media o2 account with a virgin media account, but when I do this, it's asking us to sign in with an email address we do not have access to. I've tried calling your customer services and they can't understand me.

Suz (@scoobiesue82) reported@virginmedia It is default to audio descriptive so I change it to Original Dolby Audio both via the context (…) and pressing down and along to audio & subtitles but it’s not changing anything even though it appears to select what I want
-
Mike Fuller (@ninepine) reported@virginmedia Apology accepted but your data is clearly bad and your systems faulty if you have to rely on assumptions not truth. Sadly symptomatic of @virginmedia - @ICOnews should investigate. When your systems also wrongly say I haven't paid my bill in full it's systemic not unusual.😡
