  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia every month I have the same issue. Go to pay bill and despite having Google auto password (which works on every other thing I log in) it says my log in is wrong and I have to reset it EVERY MONTH!! EVERY MONTH!! IT'S RIDICULOUS

    @virginmedia @thanks_ants What’s the status of this issue?

  • Lolly81 Lorraine Mullings (@Lolly81) reported

    @virginmedia Services are down, as is the service checker function. Sadly, I'm not surprised. I kinda expected this to happen based on previous experiences

  • slapnuts316 Slappy (@slapnuts316) reported

    @virginmedia Hi can you help me find my account number please? I can't find any emails from you at all with it on.

  • madebymarian Marian Avery (@madebymarian) reported

    @wiredimage @virginmedia @O2 Thanks Ben... checked again and I finally had that option. MyO2 has been broken for 3 weeks (a known technical fault) so their assurances over the phone that it would happen automatically are not true!
