    @virginmedia Same as about a month ago. Said I need to enter password. But doesn't work. Have tried resetting password. Still no good. Webmail says can't access my emails right now. And when I go to the sign in page it has my name as 'Jackie' top right though the main page says 'Hi Tina'.

    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Yes. Powered down, switched off etc etc. Why would only certain content not delete and other content delete fine? Doesn’t make sense?

  • Yippers
    Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Constantly drops out, coupled with frequently slow speeds. Price increases for a worsening service.

    @virginhelp @virginmedia I need some way to resolve this, and can’t be the only one stuck in this situation. I can provide birth certificates, passports, etc, etc. Your support staff want 3 letters of a password nobody knows.

    @virginmedia I have spent 7hrs40mins today in a WhatsApp chat with your customer services trying to terminate my broadband and still haven't finalised it. I will be cancelling my DD as I am paid up until May 4th and your hub will be available for you to collect if you wish

  • _dreamer_
    Pilar Gómez (@_dreamer_) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Actually, the new owners are porting their virgin contract here, if the contract is per property, and it will be Virgin providing the service, that would mean we DON'T have to pay the fee right?

    @virginmedia Still happening BB8 area code, signal drops and reconnects, I will deal with it publicly. I cannot watch shows on streaming, I can just about get a daily done if it cooperates long enough. This is not good enough service, your customer support is no help either.

    Hi @VirginMedia, my account has been locked and I’ve been trying to contact support for 2 days now with no response. Calls are not being answered at all. I urgently need help setting up my new WiFi device. This level of support is really disappointing. Have no option 👎

    @virginmedia @ChiBkSequels Hey Virgin media, I need to cancel/renegotiate my contract. 30days notice is due at latest next Friday. Do I have e to send you a letter of cancellation or can I actually speak to a human to discuss reduced services/broadband only option, before it’s too late?

    @mumherts @virginmedia Bot support is a very real frustrating issue today. I am a dedicated account to protest the incompetent support system. I hope we get the real human support back where it is needed. #NoBotsForSupport Tag/Mention me for repost.
