    @virginmedia HI, your on-demand service is not really on- demand, I tried to watch Sundays Line of Duty today it is not on demand unless I pay another service, why is this.

  • CaseyMcCabeee
    Casey McCabe (@CaseyMcCabeee) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I have tried to get through to someone on your live chat, when I select exsisting customer I get told everyone is busy. If I select new customer I get through straight away. What a way to treat existing loyal customers!

    @virginmedia There seem to never be a problem, and yet everyday the internet drops out…

  • BronteAppleby
    Brontë Appleby (@BronteAppleby) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for this KF. Just to clarify that I can't put my email address/password in at all when I use webmail to sign in - it goes straight to the error message when I click the email button. Does that impact what I need to do with My VM? Thanks again.

  • apvoiceovers

    @virginmedia Can't access my mail. Keeps telling me it can't sync and I can't access it via the web browser either. Service Problems??

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaIE i mean *you* reached out, here? 🤨 so... @VirginMediaIE who do i contact to get my plan reevaluated, the web chat didnt go anywhere when i tried the other day, and the plan selector thing isn't letting me select the same price as an existing customer

  • knishantsingh
    Kunwar Singh (@knishantsingh) reported

    @virginmedia internet not working in E11 again.. without any known issues or status in your website… what’s going on?

  • ComplyMe1
    ComplyMe Ltd (@ComplyMe1) reported

    @virginmedia - no business broadband since 25 November and absolute no customer service no response to raising faults via their website. This is appalling customer service where it is impossible to speak to anyone.

  • brainwipe
    Rob Lang (@brainwipe) reported

    @tjrobinson @virginmedia They lied to me over bandwidth and latency. I'll never go back.

  • andrewbillen
    Andrew Billen (@andrewbillen) reported

    @virginmedia I have been on that too, I am afraid. People reach the same stalemate, being told the email service was sold to Talk Talk, who don't talk to Virgin Media engineers or VM customers. Do you have a direct line?
