@markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

@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

Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

@virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.

@virginmedia The signal struggles to get to each room in the house. My son complains as he games. No chance of streaming music in the bathroom. It isn't a big house either. The deal I'm on currently was negotiated when I spoke to disconnection team rather than intro offer.

@OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

@virginmedia You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it? Spoke 18 months ago about signal. Was told it would be looked at if I agreed to renew. Once renewed was told WiFi is not guaranteed so tough.

@virginmedia Still very sporadic, nothing actually works phones down, tablets down, PC’s down, paid tv services down, I see you have requested my address account number etc, I think not!! If you send a DM I may reply but not on a public platform, more un-professionalism!!!!

@virginmedia my elderly vulnerable parent’s broadband is not working since last Thursday. She’s been told to book a technician. Your call handler only offered her next Thurs. She told them she’s not at home. Call h said she will have to keep the appt or pay £25. Bully tactics VM

@virginmedia I waiting for 12 hours in an empty house for my WiFi to be set up yesterday and no one turned up despite being promised at 5pm someone would arrive before 7. No one has since contacted me. Absolutely appalling service.

@virginmedia @TheO2 Worst customer service I have ever experienced in my whole life! Round and round in circles for what should be a simple problem, bot, back to a bot speak to a human and you would be as well speaking to a bot as they don’t understand anything
