Mark 🌈🏳️🌈 (@markselondon) reported from Blackheath, England@virginmedia Broadband down again this morning in SE London, got through to customer services and they advised the outage expected to be fixed by 12th April. No compensation offered and I would have to pay a penalty to cancel my contract.

Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia I performed the reset, it still does not recognise the code. Very disappointed. On Wednesday I wasted 3 hours on the phone talking to 13 of your people one of whom brazenly told me to fix all issues I must buy an upgrade. I am sorry to say the whole experience is abysmal 💔

William (@willbassoumba) reported from Camberwell, EnglandVirgin media is down and I actually have to talk to my family… yuck.
-
Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, EnglandTime to ditch @vmbusiness I think, unreliable service & weak support
-
Andrew Battle (@andy_s_battle) reported from East Ham, England@virginmedia But cutting people off to enforce this is unethical, besides no previous communication has indicated this and the solution is not convenient with where they want to do this and no suggestion to reposition my hub
-
Anna Thurman (@AnnaThurmanLDN) reported from Bexleyheath, England@virginmedia sort it out! I’ve got Betty next door hollering at me over the fence when I’m trying to get the washing in asking if it’s gone down! #virginmedia #VirginMediaoutage

Tony Kinson (@mrkinski) reported from Bexleyheath, EnglandAfter the long outage overnight, @virginmedia was back online but is now down again. Any chance of you fixing it before we all need our connection for work in the morning? Asking for all your disgruntled customers. #VirginMediaDown

Tim Hyson (@timhyson) reported from Bromley, England@virginmedia 20 hours of being passed around your customer ‘care’ teams and no progress. And yet I doubt this is even close to a record.

travelling Adam (@TravellingAdam) reported from Blackheath, England@virginmedia my internet is constantly not working it’s really frustrating.
-
Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England@redheadlass1402 @virginmedia We’ve got the business service but it’s no better. They don’t seem to have any proactive monitoring or fault prevention and pretty much don’t care. They have a 3 hour service level that passed 12 hours ago, totally useless bunch of money-grabbers

Michael James Weaver (@Weaverfooty14) reported from Blackheath, England@virginmedia is there a outage in woolwich Se18 my broadband isn't working and I can't even load up your website to try and get help?
-
#AshTag (@Ashley_Rhysss) reported from Southwark, EnglandThe service from @virginmedia is utterly dreadful. Had Wi-Fi issues so they sent someone out to rectify. Worked for 2 days then the same issues started again. Not had working Wi-Fi for the last 3 weeks. If your thinking of going with them for tv / internet, go with someone else.

Leigh Booker 🐈⬛ 3.5% #FBPE #FBPPR #GTTO (@leighbooker) reported from Welling, England@virginmedia It has just come back on. The annoying thing is your website said no problems, so I went through the usual, unplugging, checking cables etc. only for the website to be updated later. I should have learned by now.
-
Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandListening to the broadband presentation on @itvMLshow with some irony. I pay @virginmedia £79/month for broadband/phone & TV. BB/TV failed in November, after many calls they say it will be fixed in March 2023 😬 Compensation is only calculated when service is restored 😪 Fair?
-
Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported from Blackheath, EnglandYour website for checking status is not loading. Can you verify if there are known issues with broadband in the se3 area. Thanks @virginmedia

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.

Nicola Byles (@BylesNicola) reported@virginmedia we cannot watch the football due to your poor service! This is unacceptable!

Dunc in a bothy (@1123funko) reported@virginmedia I did all that before I tried on here. Not my first experience with this stuff. The issue was I had a ppv bought that I didn’t get to watch so the point is moot now tbh.
-
You’re Just Listening 😀 (@ChatchoMan) reported@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK If Virgin Media are such money grabbing filth that they don’t want to believe a grieving person that contacts them and just terminate the contract they should at least backdate it based on the death certificate. Anything other than that is disgraceful.
-
JR (@Dadyougeek) reported@appleblossomBe @virginmedia @LutzSchuler Nope they was more than happy to cancel it today!
-
Samet (@Samet_UK) reported@virginmedia It is still showing the same in status since the early morning. There is no any other update or any estimated time. At least I would expect another update saying about the outage and estimated fix time.
-
Dr Elaine Rust (@elainerust) reported@virginmedia YOU’VE CANCELLED MY SWITCH AGAIN. THREE TIMES YOU’VE DONE THIS. It’s unbelievable that you can get away with it. @ofcom @MoneySavingExp Please help.

Steve George🏴 (@George66Steve) reported@CCFCGrapes @virginmedia They're a bunch of See You Next Tuesdays and I'm going to be leaving them soon. The way they rack the prices up is immoral and the supposed service they provide is non-existent.
