    @virginmedia Hi, Liam said someone would call back tomorrow. No issue with service, just can't have in the new build. The service is not in the area. Let's see if we get the call back tomorrow. Shouldn't treat a leaving customer like ****.

    @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia It’s fine here but earlier in March we were left without any service for days at a time . The reason given was service upgrades. Ring them on 150 for an automated update

    Well @virginmedia what a waste of our time today,we booked an engineer in the time slot 8-12,and nobody arrived I’m afraid.Tried contacting you,and can’t get through...can anyone help?

    Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia when are you going to start issuing people the Hub 4 as the SH3 is useless for delivering wifi. Doesn’t help that you seem to be constantly having issues and massive speed problems over the last month. Any chance of us actually getting a service that we pay for?!

    @virginmedia Thanks for absolutely no help what so ever. Please fix your issues

    @virginmedia our broadband down without warning and service update says you hope to fix this by 5th April! Why so long? We rely on this for work - unacceptable

  • AnnielizzieSten
    Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

    @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

    @nicolatallant Nicola...with your experience in investigative journalism you should be all over this! I have never heard of such widespread corruption. You know what should be done here. Do the right thing. Ask the questions.... Start with the Shilling report...or how about the fact there is NO PULSE RECORD for #MrP regarding the allegations and subsequent harrassment of #MrP. The enablement and cheek turning is disgusting. Do your job. @rtenews @virginmedia

    @ZiaYusufUK I spent morning after morning on the phone trying to cancel Virgin media. Reduced me to tears eventually. Id welcome this move

  • AhmadX_Official

    In 2003, 68-year-old Stan Beaton said goodbye to his beloved wife, Ruby, after she lost her battle with cancer. Among all the memories she left behind, one became his greatest treasure, a simple voicemail recorded on their home answering machine, preserving the sound of her voice. For years, Stan kept the same phone service for one reason alone: he was terrified that changing providers might erase that recording. Whenever grief became too heavy, he would play the message, finding comfort in hearing Ruby speak once again. Then, without warning, everything changed. During a routine system upgrade by Virgin Media, the voicemail was accidentally deleted. Stan later described the heartbreak: "When I realized it was gone, it felt like I had lost my wife a second time." Once the company understood what had happened, they launched an extraordinary recovery effort. Around a dozen engineers dedicated three full days to retrieving a single voicemail. They combed through archived systems, aging servers and backup files, comparing the task to finding a needle in a haystack. Despite the odds, they refused to stop searching. Against all expectations, they found it. When Stan learned how many people had worked tirelessly to recover his recording, he was overwhelmed. "All those people… just to help me? I never imagined a company would go to such lengths," he said. Then came the moment he had almost given up hope of experiencing again. Ruby's familiar voice filled the room: "Stan and Ruby are not available right now. Please leave your name and number, and we'll get back to you." Tears quickly welled up in his eyes. "Amazing… absolutely amazing," he whispered. With deep gratitude, he later said: "I thought I would never hear her voice again. They gave me back something I believed was gone forever. They made an old man incredibly happy." Sometimes the greatest treasures aren't money or possessions. They're the few precious seconds of a loved one's voice memories that can comfort a heart for a lifetime.

    Virgin Media down again in my area. Was looking forward to streaming today. Good job it’s not my livelihood. Imagine being a big streamer earning thousands a day and this happens. That’d be a big compensation bill going to #virginmedia
