Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful

Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia you have caused me nothing but hassle for months now. Your customer service team are completely useless.
-
Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia I spoke to your customer service team on 2nd January who advised all issues had been resolved and my sim card was being sent out by royal mail delivery. Even with any postal delays out of your control it seems odd that it hasn't arrived.
-
Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England@virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.
-
GLENN (@gbmcfc) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Well you find I'm cancelling my contract with yourselves, hope you go bust, your customer service team is a shambolic embarrasment. Loyalty works both ways.
-
👽 (@bludav_andrew) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Hi, for the 2nd time it appears you’re trying to charge me for a call out when I wasn’t supposed to be charged, I’ve already called once about this and was told it was corrected but it’s happened again? I’ve had to cancel my DD until sorted as due to come out 2morrow

Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia As I say. I don't like publicly shaming a company that was once good. But your customer service is an absolute disgrace

Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England@virginmedia well the woeful service in Heywood continues after “fixing” the fault this morning which resulted in me being unable to work from home the network has dropped again this evening absolutely shocking service
-
Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

Paul Terry (@SurrealPaulT) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia hi Virgin. We had an outage of broadband and TV services beginning 23rd Sept which lasted for 4 days. At the time we were told we would be compensated for this loss. As it hasn't come off our latest bill, how do we claim?

JJ (@johnjoeoregan) reported from Manchester, England@stetopping Remember you did the piece late last year about Virgin Media Broadband being out for a day? It's now been down for six days in some parts of Manchester. Six full days and not a word from the company except automated messages.

🦔🦊Johnny1983 🦝🐱 (Big Animal Lover🐕🐶🐁) (@JohnnyDude1983) reported from Bury, England@virginmedia Hi. Is there a difference between cat 5E & cat6 & cat7 ethernet performance wise on your network 🤔.

-
Dave NerdyGeek (@DT_NerdyGeek) reportedIt'd be good if @virginmedia treated a customer, who's been with them for over 15 years, like a customer who has been with them for over 15 years. I have had the same hub since 2016! I should not have to sign up to a £120 a month plan just to get an upgrade on 10 year old tech.
-
Paul Green (@pgreen83) reported@virginmedia Could you reply to my DM? Absolutely shocking service with no accountability. £120 a month for what? No service, no customer service! Potentially you are in breach of contract and now ignoring customer complaints. Not a good look this!!
-
Colin Morty (@cmwba) reported@virginmedia Tried but its not accepting my log in. Shamnles of a service.

Iain Sankey (@IainSankey) reportedSo, after three long telephone calls, I'm back to square one. Now, I'm going to have to look for an alternative internet supplier. I wouldn't mind so much, but I've been a customer of @virginmedia for about 30 years! 😡

Chris Cooper 💚📻📺🎓⚽🏈 (@ChrisCoopsSport) reportedGreat start to the season for @virginmedia with red button games not working properly. Oh, it's not the Premier League so it doesn't matter.

Wolf of X (@WolfofX) reportedIn 2003, Stan Beaton lost his wife Ruby to cancer. But there was one small piece of her he could still hold onto. Her voice. Ruby had recorded the outgoing voicemail greeting on their home phone around 2001. After she died, Stan deliberately kept it. In the difficult years that followed, whenever he was feeling particularly low, he could pick up the phone and hear her voice again. He even avoided changing phone providers because he was afraid the recording might disappear. Then, in December 2014, it did. Technical work involving Virgin Media's voicemail system caused Ruby's recording to vanish. Stan was devastated. After protecting it for more than a decade, he believed the sound of his wife's voice was gone for good. When Virgin Media learned what the recording meant to him, a team of engineers began searching through their systems. They initially thought the chances of recovering it were extremely small. They searched for three days. Then they found it. In January 2015, BBC Radio Leeds was there as Stan heard the recovered recording for the first time. The moment Ruby's voice came through, he recognized her immediately. "That's her." Stan broke down in tears. He later described hearing her again as a "wonderful, wonderful sound." Virgin Media also gave him a permanent copy of the recording, so he would never have to rely on the voicemail system to keep it safe again. Ruby had recorded nothing extraordinary. It was simply an everyday greeting for their home telephone. Fourteen years later, that ordinary little recording had become something Stan thought he would never hear again.

Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported@virginmedia Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately this workaround isn’t suitable. My father is nearly 80 and would not even know what an app is, let alone be able to download one, sign in, enable location services or use a web player.
