Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.
-
Hannah Tompkins (@he_tompkins) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Hi there, I was told I would receive my replacement broadband by today and still no indication of when it’s going to arrive. Any help?
-
Hazbullins (@Hasbullins) reported from Salford, England@virginmedia New call of duty released today and your Internet service is down. Are you taking the full piss out of me here? Wankers
-
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?
-
Stephen Mackenzie (@StevomacMUFC) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England@virginmedia Hi, I’m trying to raise a complaint online but I’m not receiving any acknowledgment. Is there another way I can raise my complaint? Thanks
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia Will they help if the Wi-Fi is working at the time I call? Because my issue is that when it is working, your advisors consider their work done despite telling them that it usually doesn’t last. And invariable, it doesn’t.

johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia The guy I spoke to at VM yesterday said that she wouldn’t be eligible for a “disabled” phone line to be installed because it wasn’t claimed when they dug the front garden up 18 months ago. We were never given this as an option at the time, if we had we would have insisted on it.
-
Chris Atkinson (@AckersStorm) reported from Middleton, England@virginmedia when will the broadband issues be fixed properly in my area?
-
Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia I've been a customer for 10 years. Is this how your treat your loyal customers?
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?
-
Simon Manning 🇪🇺 - SiManM20@mstdn.uk (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England@nrgloz @virginmedia Your paying 75% of what we are for 35% of the d/speed there. Neighbour has just switched to Brsk - it’s full #fttp so 1Gb both up/down rather than the 52Mb UL Virgin offer via DOCSIS. £40pm
-
SLT4K 👨🏻💻 🇬🇧 (@Slt4K) reported from Urmston, England@virginmedia / Super disappointed after calling to renew my contract and as an existing customer you can’t offer anything half as good as a new customer. Shocking customer retention strategy 🤯
-
Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia I will. 2nd week in and these kind of issues is worrying considering my partner needs a connection to work from home. How long do I have to switch providers is it 30 days?
-
William Connolly (@WCONNOLLY2512) reported from Manchester, England@beverleyturner @virginmedia Virgin Media had gone ****. Poor broadband, crappie TV channels and half don't even work.
-
Smyth Harper 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia No it’s not, and it has now transpired that your customer services agent told me a direct lie that there was a fault in my area when there is not. Someone else has now booked an engineer to come out - next Wednesday. I can’t even have my heating on as that’s controlled vía wifi

Sandy Lindsay MBE 🐝 (@SandyLindsay) reported from Sale, EnglandHave @virginmedia gone down in South Manchester??? Been kicked off the wifi!

-
Daniel McDermott (@dantheman8t5) reported from Dukinfield, England@virginmedia any idea when the outage will be sorted? I have work to do today
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia You’re not understanding. I do contact when the issue is happening, your advisor then fixes it, but it then happens again within 24 hours. I need a ‘once and for all’ fix. Not this whack a mole approach you’ve had so far.

cheryl blake (@BlakeyCb48) reported@virginmedia But where paying for a service that isn’t working it’s not just a local loss it’s all over
-
HJM (@HannahJM1806) reported@virginmedia @alexand979677 Yay, let’s all mess about trying to sign in to the app on your laptop, to find a HDMI cable, plugging that bugger in and then hoping to all things holy that it actually connects whilst missing the first half of the game you’re trying to watch as opposed to Virgin actually fix it!

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.

David Bartholo (@DavidBa97629651) reported@virginmedia There’s no point in me DM because you won’t change it just for me however I hope you take notice of the number of customers raising this as an issue, I would ask you to consider elderly folks like myself with joint and mobility issues who don’t wish to keep pressing the remote

Andy Wright (@ncfcandywright) reported@MickeyDN7 @virginmedia @SkySports Sky customer having the same issue, so I'd say the problem is on Sky's side not Virgins
-
Cheryl Brown (@piacapa) reported@virginmedia awful service. Still waiting for my tech engineer to arrive - time given by a Virgin 12-4pm. Now told another engineer will be with me ‘shortly’ but no time given! Seriously considering switching to BT
