Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

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
-
Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England@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

Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, EnglandLooks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

An tsean bhean bhocht 🇮🇪🇵🇱 (@CrimhthanMor) reported@crt_dean @TheAmanuensis @MalachySteenson They actually tend to be handpicked from state funded media, which is literally every media outlet in the country to be honest, Gript is an exception, I'm sure there are others but most are in some way or other recieving state support. Even Virgin media got handouts.
