my Virgin Media account email is a very old Plusnet email

Hi - I have a the same problem as my Virgin Media account email is a very old Plusnet email address which is defunct (I have spoken to Plusnet to confirm). I have had 2 tickets raised and have spoken to at least 6 VM advisors about the issue and all they say is 'wait a few days'. It has been over 6 weeks since the problem started - I cannot access my account or login to Sky on any device. I have run out of ideas. This issue has arisen due to the 'merger' with O2

    I have exactly the same issue - I reckon thousands of others are in the same boat. And how are VM dealing with it? They keep saying 'wait a few more days'. Its been 8 weeks now. There is no solution other than to cancel the contract so that I can watch Sky Sports on my devices using another supplier. Incredibly bad customer support from VM

      I also get the "Wait a few more days" (been some weeks now) but I wonder if there is a silver lining, like if so many people are affected they might be working on a mass fix..

    As i posted elsewhere, I have had the same problem since O2 link up 8 weeks ago. I cannot logon to my account on any device, and cannot access Sky Sports (apart from on TV). My VM account has a redundant Plusnet email address and I have spoken to Plusnet - it is dead so no chance of reading the link messages. I have spoken to at least 6 customer support people and an getting nowhere. 2 technical tickets raised - I keep being told 'wait a few more days'. I may have to cancel the whole package as VM are not resolving this
