    @virginmedia Thanks, if i request a pac code, does this cancel my contract automatically or do i still have to try and speak to someone in person over the phone, ive checked my account and im just on a rolling 30 day plan now my contract ended last dec,thanks

    Michelle Oldroyd (@shell634) reported from St Helens, England

    owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia question for you. If I enter a contract with you where you promise X service +items and I promise to pay X amount. If I don't pay X amount am I breaking the contract?

  • Kiefer1667
    Marc Lancaster (@Kiefer1667) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia hi, is it possible to check if my virgin mobile is being moved over from using ee to Vodafone? My signal keeps dropping in and out....i was told this would be happening sometime this year.

  • nookandwillow
    clare wilson (@nookandwillow) reported from Prescot, England

    @ThingsByNik @virginmedia Oh no, I’ve just signed up for their BB as our Sky one is awful and it’s the fastest available, I keep hearing not the greatest things about them though 🙈

  • shell634
    Michelle Oldroyd (@shell634) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I did initially and then doesn't load the page Tried calling just automated sent me links to mobile the same links already checked and then hung up No estimated time of when will be fixed.. I guess it's with people finishing work and realising their service is down hmmm

  • stevelthompsom
    Steve Thompson (@stevelthompsom) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia new customer trying to register on your media app always comes up with an error code!!!! Not a great start......may cancel if this is how you roll ??

  • TheRealRagtag
    Stephen Murtagh (@TheRealRagtag) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia No email access for 3 days now on the blueyonder access. All I get is "Oops, this page is broken." System says nothing is wrong. Terrible. I have done a check, and it says everything is working correctly on BBand/Telly. ??? Area 01.

  • shell634
    Michelle Oldroyd (@shell634) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I sincerely hope there will be no need to contact beyond this fix date If we are going to be without service all weekend and already on day 3

  • shell634
    Michelle Oldroyd (@shell634) reported from St Helens, England

    Here we are again had TV on for 5 mins why I have a drink and breakfast and it's off again.with a fix date of Monday 17th I believe @virginmedia But bet we don't get any bill discount for the continuous outrage ! 3rd day WA9

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia Yeah, I've done all that (I'm a techy) it's why it's in modem mode and replaced with a capable router. The issue isnt the equipment it's the connection. Without the hub3 I can run upto 900Mbps download and 240mbps upload.

  • neilc5017
    Neil Connolly (@neilc5017) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia how much notice do we have to give to cancel our subscription ?

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia Considering my router is a 1gbps it shouldn't be an issue. However even with wired it'll vary between 15mbps and 110mbps. However our average over a month is 53.6mbps, which is less than half the speed we pay for 😳.

  • terrificsue
    Susan Rigby (@terrificsue) reported from Wigan, England

    @terrificsue everyone out there be careful when receiving telephone calls and if they say they are from Virgin Media please check and check. I have been scammed today out of a lot of money . I am the one who thought would never be scammed but I was. Oohh .

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia LS, I have and do regularly when ever it seems slow. It varies from 12mbps download to a maximum of 110mbps. However the monthly average is under 60mbps. Which falls well short of my guaranteed speed.

  • nookandwillow
    clare wilson (@nookandwillow) reported from Prescot, England

    @ThingsByNik @virginmedia Have noticed they’re hard to get hold of as I’ve had issues with my install (outdoors related) they should at least do you a deal…if you could actually speak to them they will prob offer you something, that’s what Sky usually do

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia I have your smart hub 3, or as I like to call it the dumb dumb 3000. (It's struggles to broadcast a decent connection around a 2 bed flat, so it's been banished to modem mode. (Honestly, it's the worst router ive ever dealt with) 😳

    @virginmedia Hi .. no my dad is complety deaf and has a brain injury so my mum had to deal with these sort of things and is not in good health herself. She wanted to cancel from the 19th April as I have found her another supplier that can give her what she has now with you for half the price.

  • mikejhemsley
    mike (@mikejhemsley) reported

    @virginmedia The hotspots in the link are different mobile providers. Are you advising me to change my mobile phone contract? If not, please do let me know how I'm supposed to access another company's TfL wifi service.

  • Ilscuro
    Gianni Z™ (@Ilscuro) reported

    @virginmedia That number doesn't work lol, so I called your so called customer service on different one and guess what? I was on hold for 30 mins then got cut off, I need my phone and Internet working if its not sorted 2day direct debit will be cancelled and I will try find another provider

  • Berlinseshdmtv
    Kevin Johns (@Berlinseshdmtv) reported

    You know what, it would have been courteous to have asked me to turn the box off and on again as a bare minimum (which I have done) or just a “sorry I don’t know” but nothing at all is a crap way to treat folks that actually pay your salary @virginmedia

  • malonetoone
    BT (@malonetoone) reported

    @virginmedia N7 6PH. On corner of Roden Street and Hertslet Road. I can get the number later. People have been dumping things on it already and given we’ve had loads of issues with service it seems worrying.

  • gHuporanj69
    Grant💙 (@gHuporanj69) reported

    @mrsanitaparis @ruskin147 @virginmedia Ditto, no problems here!

  • graveneycl

    @virginmedia Still the same - I can get the complaint bot but not a specific webchat

  • HelenaknownasH

    So 2 blokes from MJQuinn have blocked me in my drive, put up bollards in front of my neighbour and blocked them in while they saw into the pavement. They have @virginmedia sign in the windscreen. No warning of this & we couldn’t get out now if we wanted? #nocourtesy #rude

  • mycncstuff
    cnc stuff (@mycncstuff) reported

    @virginmedia went to cancel my business contract as getting less than half the speed we are paying for to be told it’s 90 days and they don’t guarantee speeds. They couldn’t give a monkeys about it. #poorservice

    @virginmedia I've tried to call and there is just an automated service saying we know there's an issue and goodbye. No further info provided.
