Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England‘ere, @VirginMedia, it’s been a full month now of totally unreliable service at my house; 5 engineers later, with the last call to 0345 454 111 on Friday saying you KNOW there’s a problem and it WILL be fixed in 24 hours. I called bullshit. I was right. Sort this out!!!

Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, EnglandHey @virginmedia I forgot how awful you were when it came to anything other than collecting my direct debit. Apparently you don’t have a complaints dept, genius, and after 4 calls to you today totally around three hours, you cut two of them off during the musical interlude!

Wolf of X (@WolfofX) reportedIn 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.

Alexander Dumas 🏴 (@Alexand68647317) reported@DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I had a very similar experience with them. They are only interested in new customers and not retaining the ones they already have. I left, pay a fraction of what I used to, and will never do business with them again. Great business model for going bust.
-
Paul Jones (@PaulFJonescom) reported@virginmedia are totally incompetent. Cancelled my service. Was told I will get a final bill and can ignore my current bill. Now have final bill and have a late payment charge for previous bill added. Cant get through on phone lines. Be wary when cancelling your services people!

Fleebee (@imfleebee) reported@lou_xen @Jaym7t5 @virginmedia Been down for me since yesterday

Adam Fletcher (@Fletchmyster85) reported@virginmedia 3-4 weeks now I've had issues with my broadband and TV. Tried calling but have to drop off because I don't have 30+ mins to wait. Start chats, after the long AI process I sit waiting for a person. Leave chat 30+ mins. Fill out complaints asking for a call from you...
-
Peter mcclurg (@peter_mcclurg) reportedWhy are you managing the worst levels of service. Utterly shambolic. Frustrating and embarrassing. I look forward to the next fine being enough to get you to treat customers as customers in the future. Just spent 45 minutes begging for a service engineer to come. @virginmedia
-
Andy Darby (@andyredjedi) reportedWhat is the internet problem in LE3 it has been intermitant for 3 days now. Router keeps going off. @virginmedia
-
Adam Fletcher (@Fletchmyster85) reported@virginmedia It's tells me you'll be in touch within 48 hours, it's now over 72 hours and nothing. You didn't send me an email with my ticket details of the complaint, got back to the page to make a note 20mins later and the page had gone. Absolute shambles. Broken service & broken support!
