-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@BritishGas I’m truly astonished. I didn’t think there could be anyone worse than @virginmedia for customer service but you’ve managed it. I’m in awe.
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia Your missing the point my phone works now my complaint was about the fact it took 9 days to activate and Virgin changed the number
-
Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia get enough money from me and all the others get enough, from the rest of the paying public. So stop being greedy, stop paying the Premier clubs so much and wages will have to come down. There, sorted!
-
Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England@virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service
-
Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, EnglandI have had wifi issues since june2020now they are trying to get paid twice im 1 month. Virgin still owe me compensation.

-
ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, EnglandWow Virgin media TV services are down nationwide due to a power outage. That's an awful lot of compensation.
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia This is so tiresome I have complained so many times about slow broadband speed, unreliable WiFi, terrible TV services & only after threatening to leave did you send an engineer in July. This made it a little better, but recently it’s been unreliable of an evening.
-
Kelda🥤 (@keldaaa) reported from Canvey Island, England@virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

Wolf of X (@WolfofX) reportedFor more than a decade, Stan Beaton held onto something that many people would consider priceless. It wasn't jewelry, money, or a photograph. It was the voice of his wife, Ruby. Ruby passed away from cancer in 2003. Before she died, she had recorded the greeting on their home answering machine. It became the last recording of her voice, and whenever grief felt overwhelming, Stan would play it just to hear her speak again. He was so afraid of losing that message that he stayed with the same phone company for years, believing it was the safest way to protect it. Then, in 2014, everything changed. Following routine maintenance by Virgin Media, the voicemail suddenly disappeared. Stan was devastated. He believed the final piece of his wife's voice had been erased forever. When Virgin Media learned what had happened, they refused to give up. The company assembled a team of 11 engineers, who spent three days searching through backup systems and archived data. One executive compared the task to searching for a needle in a haystack. Against the odds, they found it. When the recording was played back to Stan during a BBC Radio Leeds interview, he broke down in tears. "That's her... It's just a wonderful, wonderful sound that I thought was lost forever." Virgin Media later provided him with copies of the recording so it would never be lost again. Sometimes technology isn't just about cables, servers, and code. Sometimes, it's about giving someone one more chance to hear the voice of the person they loved most.

Josh McTighe (@JoshMcTighe94) reported@virginmedia Hi team, I had a complaint raised about lots of internet issues. I called up and accepted the good will gesture but after 6 weeks it has still not been credited.
-
jamiediscos (@jamiediscos) reported@virginmedia 12 hrs so far with no WiFi, no tv service and more importantly, no phone! Why am I paying you an extortionate amount of money each month?
-
Lisa (@LisaPatten2) reportedAbsolute quality service from @virginmedia as always. Broadband not working all morning, it might be fixed by 7pm, whoop whoop. 150 quid a month well spent. Daylight robbery.
-
Steven Byrne (@Lavelle250187) reported@virginmedia Your service is disgraceful. I joined less than a month ago and my internet has already failed twice. 1st time it was down for 3 days, now it’s been 2 days and could be a week. I want to leave your awful service, but you won’t let me. This is not what was promised!
-
Samuel (@samhardiman92) reportedI have never in my adult life had to deal with a more inept bunch of incompetent people than those who work at virgin media, I wager I would get more sense from an extinct species than I would from their "customer service" department
-
Stevie K (@the_k_bizzle) reported@virginmedia Billing system apparently down but you've took a double payment from my bank card. If its reflected on my account fine, but customer service can't help as theyve got issues and online shows "Something went wrong"
-
mick1966 (@mickschofield1) reported@virginmedia No Internet or TV since Monday 13th June, engineer came out today Thursday 16th June checked all the devices and wireing and all good, yet still no service and no explanation or timeline for things to be up and running again.
