    @virginmedia @Miss_SKM That is correct. What it does not cover is the persistent loss of service since August!!! #se7. Nor does it cover the absolute woeful customer services, and I use that phrase lightly, which @virginmedia is able to offer.

    @virginmedia Here we go, phones again. This is the 21st century where other communication methods are much more efficient. I'll be surprised if they do respond to me and actually help with my 2 open support tickets (both failing your SLA)

    @BBCWatchdog I was without TV service with Virgin Media for over a week this month, could only use chat bot, eventually a live chat with a person because I took to twitter, but they couldn't help me either. Still waiting for the comp form they said would come automatically.

    @virginmedia You have put my bill up from £84 to £96 in one month and you are not providing a service I should have my full services 24/7 for that price and getting any compensation it like getting blood out of a stone !!! Disgusting service

  • DerrickSWB

    @virginmedia It’s arranged (3rd time) for engineer visit tomorrow 4-7pm…. I just hope they don’t randomly cancel again

  • Lisboadolphin71
    Lusitano71 (@Lisboadolphin71) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia no services for all 5 days now! Your customer care is appalling! And, apparently, nothing is wrong, according to your website. Bad!!

  • emmalouchu
    Emma Churcher-Holt (@emmalouchu) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia No, I have TV service only and the live chat agent said I would get the compensation form.

    @TfL why is the 4G signal on the Central line underground only around the posh area's of Notting Hill Gate, Queensway and Holland Park? Since @virginmedia stopped their WiFi in April it's annoying that a major metropolis like London has no internet connections on a lot of lines

    @virginmedia All these problems. But still fleecing money from us.

    @virginmedia the tv connection has had a fault since 8th June. You are "working on it", & each day checking status the date to fix is moved further away. You do not refund for lack of service why is that? And text updates are not received. And its STILL not working.

    @virginmedia how do you have the worst customer service ? Will just have to book a technician to sort out issues with account login.

  • RogerHighfield
    Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia, your app does not seem to think there's a problem with the internet in area 21. I think different. Can you check?!

  • SandraS80775853
    Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Brilliant get out clause @virginmedia. What you fail to realise is that when your so called service goes down for hours at a time, over the course of time amounts to so, so so much more than 48 hours!! Roll on switching of providers.

    @journokeith @virginmedia Good as in they acknowledged your existence was what I meant. That's how their "customer services" is set up, they don't have the staff based in the UK to deal with it and all they can do is what they are doing.

    @virginmedia Whats is happening ?? Been put in a queue only to have the CV phone put down on me twice without even talking to an operator ? What do I need to do to speak to someone??

    @virginmedia 3 hours of online chat and I’m still haven’t managed to cancel my subscription. Why is it so difficult??

  • marianmartinart
    Marian Martin (@marianmartinart) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia the WiFi here has been awful for the last few months, we've been on the same router for twelve years now, is there anything you can do to help?

  • paulstevenlewis
    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia how do I connect to London Underground WiFi now you have turned off your own hotspots? Hopefully you are not just depriving all Virgin Media customers of the service! Especially as you are putting all your prices up!

    Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from London, England

    @ameehan71 @virginmedia All new and reconnected. 200mb then next day nothing, comes on for a day then drops to 10mb. Talk to customer service and they don't have a clue. They also want over £400 for me to leave. Worst service I've ever known

    @imogen_tew Thank for your article in the The Times 11/07/26. I have been driven to despair by HMRC & a tax savings situation. Their errors, unhelpful staff, bureaucracy & incompetence should not be tolerated. They make Virgin media look good! Surely something can be done?

  • Samet_UK
    Samet (@Samet_UK) reported

    @virginmedia No response for my DM No Wifi Called customer service and no result and still no any update or information about the outage. I will complain about Virgin Media.

    @virginmedia Is this an automated tweet because you’ve said this many times and not responded to my message! A bit like your engineers turning up to fix things this is a shambles

    @virginmedia We sent back our equipment weeks ago and now we have a message saying we’re being charged £90 can you help?

    jango fett (@jangofe42286291) reported

    @dublinvoter I will never pay my licence fee again. This joke of a broadcaster all ready receives revenue from advertising like virgin media, they will survive without the licence money if they stop paying stupid wages to talentless hacks.

  • MrBenGrant
    Ben Grant (@MrBenGrant) reported

    @virginmedia we are so done with you when our contract ends, barely a month goes by with outages and reliability issues! £73 a month you would expect top speeds and super reliability. Sadly not.

    Is Virgin Media down? Their server, I mean?

  • WolfofX
    Wolf of X (@WolfofX) reported

    For 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.
