    @virginmedia So another 90 minute chat with no resolution? That’s fine I’m going to raise an official complaint as this is NOT good customer service at all.

  • Danzy92
    Craig (@Danzy92) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Yes, I’ve checked everyday and despite signing up for text updates about this issue, I’ve heard nothing despite being 48 hours after the date it was supposed to be fixed. Not even a further text so confirm a delay. Could you provide any update to the SO15 postcode issue?

    Yeah I'm just gonna point out that I couldn't give a **** about the boxing Boxing is a sport that's become corrupt like the Brazilian government, money driven like a Latin American drug lord, so yeah, I'm not paying £25, on top of the £126 I pay to @virginmedia every month

  • Alec2306

    @virginmedia I have been constantly looking at the site and it keeps telling me there are no issues. It only appears to be WiFi that is an issue

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia So you’re not going to do anything about it, despite knowing it’s destined to let me down. Exactly the same attitude as the rest of virgin. The problem is, it’s taken almost 4 months. This is the issue; deep rooted - Virgin reps don’t care

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia After waiting 24hrs for a response on WhatsApp I’ve once again been told I need to talk to another department. I waste more time waiting to speak with the “correct” department, only to be told they can’t help because of a third party completing the work. Absolute joke

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia more of your appalling customer service!!!! Spend over 90 minutes on your chat help “service” trying to resolve an issue and your agent takes a break. When he returns and I don’t reply as I’m getting lunch I get cut off. And guess what?

  • leeradcliffe73
    lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have used the connect app and it only works when I’m a meter from the router. I’m paying you for a service you can’t provide but you call me to say why don’t you upgrade to 300mb speeds when you can’t even give 10. Appalling

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @sfc_rich @virginmedia They literally don’t care. They are my Dads provider too so I’m going to have the same issues when his house is sold. I’ve never, ever dealt with such sheer incompetence in my life!

    @virginmedia Still not working. About to phone

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England

    @virginmedia Every one of your engineers that I’ve spoken to have also warned me that your customer service is diabolical. The only truth I’ve been told by a Virgin rep

  • kaz123s
    Karen Simpson (@kaz123s) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia so we’ve been with out our tv service since yesterday morning. The service checker has had the fixed time extended twice. What is going on?

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @virginmedia what a surprise, even after cancelling my service with you I’m still getting bills!!! I cannot believe your customer service is awful even after leaving.

  • Danzy92
    Craig (@Danzy92) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia wifi issues for over a week. Run test every day for it to just say there’s some issue in your area. When will this be fixed? Costing me money to commute somewhere where I can get wifi and disrupting my work.

    @_JC8 @virginmedia @virginmedia Hi can somebody please contact me regarding an issue I have with my virgin account please?

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England

    @virginmedia The installation is still not complete! That’s the problem. Virgin was ordered on 2nd oct. First install was planned on 17/10 and then cancelled by Virgin. Virgin have cancelled 8-10 times since. It’s now 08/12! 52 days and counting

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England

    @virginmedia @NetflixUK You may as well not have a customer services team. I’ve spoken to one helpful person in the 53 days I’ve been chasing Virgin for my install.

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia I have just spoken to collections team who told me they cannot deal with my issue. They passed me to cancellation team who said they cannot deal with it only collections can. The issue is that I cancelled in July but you have no record of my call or letter.

    Disconnect from @virginmedia on 28 Feb. Still get charged a month bill on 1 Mar & been told I'll both need to wait 45 days for my refund & that it will be credited the same day. Great help for budgeting & doesn't help that customer service chat couldn't understand the issue 🙄

    @virginmedia I have more problems with your Virgin 360. When I'm watching a programme that is also being recorded. When I change channel during the adverts and then turn back it won't let me rewind! The old software let me do this from 2017-2026... Why did you remove so many features?

  • reversebrexit22
    John (@reversebrexit22) reported

    @virginmedia I have issues with my hub dropping out. I’ve done all of the checks and waited on the chat for 20 mins for a “customer support “ individual to drop off after 5 minutes because I didn’t respond with 10 seconds of him asking a question. I have screen shots as proof

  • RicoWeston07
    Ricoderlig (@RicoWeston07) reported

    @virginmedia I signed up to a new broadband service and the hib was due to be sent yesterday but I cant call to speak to anyone or log into a virgin account as I dont have an account number yet. Can you help?

    🛜 I’m safely back from the dentist’s 😷 (only a 6 monthly check-up and all was well) but now our internet is down and not likely to be resolved until 17:30! @virginmedia 👋 I can’t afford to use up all my mobile data chatting on social media so I’ll see you when if it’s sorted!

    @trapdoor456 @virginmedia I tried, after 3 months of bullshit, it was brought into my house behind my fryer as this was and i quote ' the only place it can go' They may have sorted themselves out by now but I have heard mixed reviews so make sure to have the option to cancel

    @Jennababes @virginmedia My phone contract was wth 02 then obv merged with Virgin and the customer service is crap! I can’t even get on my account to see usage etc. The man in 02 said we know it’s an issue, I can look and tell you your usage, no, sort your ******* website out so I can see it myself 😡

    @QxPain_ @virginmedia You said router with ethernet under the pc, is the pc connected with eithernet or WiFi as if both this will cause a loop back if on the same network and hence why WiFi is not working. For best rest result connect the pc via ethernet & phone to WiFi

    In 2003, Stan Beaton lost his wife, Ruby, to stomach cancer. Before she passed away, she had recorded the voicemail greeting for their home telephone. It was an ordinary message to anyone else, but to Stan it became the last recording of her voice. For more than a decade, he kept that voicemail safe. He even stayed with the same phone company because he feared changing providers might erase it. Whenever he missed Ruby, he would call his own home just to hear her say, "Sorry, at the moment, Stan and Ruby are not available..." For him, those few seconds were enough to bring her close again. Then, in December 2014, a network upgrade accidentally deleted the recording. Stan was heartbroken. He later said it felt like losing his wife all over again. Believing there was nothing left to lose, he contacted Virgin Media and asked if there was any way to recover it. What followed was something no one expected. Eleven telecommunications engineers spent three days searching through backup systems for a single deleted audio file. They described it as looking for a needle in a haystack, but they refused to give up. They found it. Instead of simply returning the recording, BBC Radio Leeds arranged a surprise during an interview with Stan. As Ruby's familiar voice filled the room once again, he broke down in tears. "That's her. Wonderful. Wonderful." The company later gave Stan permanent copies of the recording on a CD so he would never have to fear losing it again. It wasn't just a recovered voicemail. It was the return of the last words he could still hear from the woman he loved, a voice that had waited silently for years until someone cared enough to bring it back.
