    @virginmedia Hi. How does an existing customer upgrade from a Tivo box to a 360? I can't find the option anywhere on my online account!

    @virginmedia But you are judged by the level of service you actually provide - we all aim high but @virginmedia has missed the mark 12960 minutes!!!

    @OneDirtyGooner @TalkTalk Virgin media retail are pants, I would be taking Virgin Media Business which have a 72 SLA (fix time) - I have this in other properties already

    @jamesnewton_me @LindaHurrell @virginmedia Well, don't feel too bad since you're clearly not alone! If they've not delivered a working service can you switch without penalty?

    Richard Davies (@DaviesDickie) reported from Upper Poppleton, England

    @virginmedia Not good enough! I cannot work from home for 28 days with this service! Why should I pay for this? @VirginMediaCorp @schuelel. Would appreciate someone dealing with my issues.

  • knitting_tsuki
    Hayley Dumont (@knitting_tsuki) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia The service is slow (even sitting next to router I get <50Mbps) and drops out frequently but irregular intervals & not linked to usage. Has been getting worse since we renewed in June.

  • IamPaulWhiting
    Paul Whiting (@IamPaulWhiting) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia It’s been a struggle to check; with no internet… however it first said that there were no issues and now saying it will be out until 3pm. So; a little concerned it will be off and on all day whilst trying to work. Are you able to confirm?

  • stevebourne33

    @virginmedia are servers down as my chat online not working on app.

  • barstep
    Barrie J Stephenson (@barstep) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia It’s now the 9th day since I requested a PAC code from VM. So I filed a complaint, spoke to OFCOM and within an hour I had my PAC code. My faith in VM is zero - my faith in OFCOM is 10 out of 10.

    @novahob @virginmedia No @virginmedia will cross the line 1st then get done for cheating! Worst customer service ever total let down! Never ever go back

  • barstep
    Barrie J Stephenson (@barstep) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia Your service, (Broadband, TV and Phone) is off again - the third time this week with extended out of service notices on your status update page. This is unacceptable when so many people are working from home. Why is this happening so frequently?

  • bomberosteve

    @virginmedia Hi my Mum is going into a care home on Monday can you let me have a contact number so I can cancel her landline please .

  • IamPaulWhiting
    Paul Whiting (@IamPaulWhiting) reported from York, England

    Has anyone else on Virgin Media struggled to get online for the past 40mins? Oh, and O2 having no mobile data signal as well? 😡 Great start to a Monday morning.

  • barstep
    Barrie J Stephenson (@barstep) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia 24 to 48 hours to obtain a PAC code from you is not acceptable. Why are your systems not working? I tried using a text message but directed to make a quick phone call. After 20 minutes (quick?) on a call I’m told your system is generating error codes.

  • barstep
    Barrie J Stephenson (@barstep) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your advice about the forums. A very helpful person tried to help but apparently no result. I called 789 again today. A ticket has been raised 3-5 days before I get a result. THREE TO FIVE DAYS is not acceptable. OFCOM says I should get a code with A MINUTE

  • MattAtko
    Matt Atkinson (@MattAtko) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV broadband and TV down again in YO31, for 24hrs….the worst service ever….do you even care? Compensation is rubbish, and does not cover lost earnings and enjoyment.

  • Flossy8386
    Deborah Jefferson (@Flossy8386) reported from Copmanthorpe, England

    @virginmedia I’m unable to log into my ntlworld email. Any idea why?? Says my password is incorrect but when I try change it, it then says my email address doesn’t exist. Help please! Trying to plan my nans funeral and all my emails go to that account!

    @ScanGaming @TPLINKUK @TPLINKGaming I would love to #Win as our VirginMedia router is very, very poor in back bedroom for reception.

    George Atkins (@_GeorgeAtkins) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin Media have my bill completely wrong. I'm trying to call up to cancel before the money is taken in a couple days but no one is answering. Should I just cancel the direct debit? I have made attempts on my side to get in contact

  • gazzdavies

    @virginmedia the internet is down in Manchester M4, any idea when this will be fixed?

    After being with #VirginMedia from the very start they have finally lost their most loyal customer. Absolute pants is the only way to describe their recent service.

  • usernitink
    Nitinuk2014@gmail.com (@usernitink) reported

    @virginmedia I am trying to get hold of Customer services for last 2 days with hours spent to get in touch without success. Is there a better method to connect? This is to cancel my contact.

  • nickylahughes
    Nicky (@nickylahughes) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks but that’s not much help. I think another provider is the solution. Your customer service dept know about this feedback but don’t use it to invoke change. I’ll be voting with my feet and leaving my 20years of custom with you. There is power to change, but not the will.

  • mandimobell
    Mandimoo (@mandimobell) reported

    I’m absolutely fuming with @virginmedia we’ve came back from our holiday to find no internet or tv!!! Why ******** don’t your engineers work on a weekend!!!Another 7 days is a fecking joke!!!! #********* #wasteofspace #viginmedi

  • hobislibrary
    Lea (@hobislibrary) reported

    @virginmedia Been waiting all day for a technician to install my broadband its now 6pm. Going to assume that this was a waste of time. Poor service before it even began! A JOKE!

  • HedgehawkUK
    Hedgehawk (@HedgehawkUK) reported

    @virginmedia Its okay. I got through and was told would have to wait another two weeks minimum to get a team back out. Contacted @bt_uk and within an hour I had a new deal and it was extremely professional. I will in touch once I get an install date to cancel my contract. Sad it came to this

  • alanpenn
    Alan Penn (@alanpenn) reported

    @virginmedia So thinking this through. There is a wire come undone somewhere in the exchange. How come it takes so long to find it and connect it again? I worry that since there are not many people affected in the postcode area it isn’t a priority. Poor customer service.
