@virginmedia I have had a letter to say my sons email address is sending spam emails. I have changed my password just in case but am having an issue with certain emails being undelivered. Have you put a spam indicator on my emails. This is causing me big problems

@virginmedia who do I call to sort my internet issues. Work and homeschooling is hard without internet! Diagnostic tools online are not sorting the problem

@Nyge_79 @virginmedia Same here. Abysmal service. I'm often in a Zoom with 40 other people and I'm the only one who drops out.

Phoned @virginmedia to see what they can do about a payment holiday since we are forced to remain closed for the foreseeable and obviously not using any of our broadband services. They offered a discount of half a months bill. Wow. The worst company we have spoken to so far 😰

@virginmedia To be honest the telephone support from call centre was very poor. No answer to my request about customers who are vulnerable and who else I could talk to. Just “wait another 72 hours” .....It was email, Facebook and twitter messages that helped

@virginmedia I have done everything you have asked me to do regarding my security issue. I have responded to your texts as requested. But you never respond as you say you will. Meanwhile, more letters and texts arrive. It is futile.

@virginmedia @WeAreOpenreach @cardiffcouncil @LornaLwyl @Keep_Wales_Tidy I believe this particular one is openreach, just highlighting this is an issue with both companies. One volunteer has previously written to virgin media posting spent wiring with the letters, but this issue it seems is not being addressed adequately across the whole of the UK

@Annabanana8008 @virginmedia @O2 Good luck to you and don't take any sh*t, you should be fully compensated for the absolute inconvenience. We had a little problem with our provider and they where excellent, understood the issue and before we asked they compensated us.

@Annabanana8008 @virginmedia I feel for you, if @O2 and @virginmedia do merge, I'm leaving at the earliest opportunity. @virginmedia leave me a little cold and with no confidence as a customer.

@virginmedia Yes that didn’t help, passed to 3 different departments including one where i think the person was half asleep and just kept putting me on hold and a computer saying my wifi is good despite not being here!

Mat Klik
(@MatKlik) reported
@virginmedia Um this doesn’t sound like the solution to my issue. If I do this the connection to quite a few of my devices will die as the router has been renamed from the default.

@Ofcom @virginmedia @Plusnet Thanks. I have submitted an advisory form to make a formal log of my issue. I will have this investigated further if it is not resolved with a view to pursuing an independent decision from either of the bodies mentioned.

@virginmedia Today was the fourth time I was given an appointment to install faceplate and nobody showed up again. I lodged a complaint on 14th August - haven't heard any update on that yet. Calling the pre-installation team on 08000521734, they refuse to help. How can I escalate this?

@virginmedia 12pm is good. I'll take anything since I can't call Customer Services because the system is flawed and won't accept my call unless I pay the bill which is incorrect due to Virgin Media making a mistake. I don't know how you're not yet being investigated by @financialombuds
