Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Hello there, it’s past 12pm and we’re still without any Internet connection (and getting desperate now). I’d like to stress that this isn’t an intermittent signal issue but a total loss of service as we’ve been having no Internet connection AT ALL since last Friday. HELP PLEASE!

Scotty Loadinson (@Pandor1caOpens) reported@virginmedia Once again your internet service in The Stoke on Trent area is atrocious. How many times am I going to have to perform a speed test to find out I'm not getting what we pay for? Boost the WiFi in Stoke-On-Trent & keep it consistent or we find another internet provider

It's Ahmad (@AhmadX_Official) reportedIn 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.

Karl Dyer (@KarlDyer15) reportedTo work for @virginmedia you don’t need a brain cell, maybe the worst company in the UK I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Avoid them at all costs

Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported@virginmedia appalling service, since I logged a complaint over a week ago, no one has responded at all. I even messaged you via X and the conversation on your side has run dry.
