-
Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from London, EnglandSo @virginmedia won't let me leave our contract despite their service continually crashing or not providing the speed it promises. Ultrafast broadband but getting nothing or 9mb download. Fed up with it now. Avoid them at all costs. #VirginMediaoutage #broadband

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

-
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!
-
Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, EnglandCont… @virginhelp @virginmedia What can be so difficult that a COMPETENT team of engineers can’t fix in these days. The fact is we believe that virgin are a team of incompetents and the time has come for us all to leave Virgin. You are a disgrace.
-
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
-
Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from City of London, England@virginmedia Well I guess as it went down Wednesday afternoon and if all goes well back up tomorrow we will automatically qualify.
-
Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Islington, England@virginmedia So that’s it. We’re still no closer to solving this issue than we were when it went down at the beginning of the week. Absolutely dreadful service.
-
The waving mechanical roadgoat™ (@silvergoatish) reported from Camden, England@virginmedia Duly noted. I'm not likely to be a customer for much longer though, with your general level of service and pricing.
-
Jason Starman QBE 💙 (@starmanuk) reported from London, England@virginmedia No issues reported. But 7 houses locally reporting outages on local forums. This is happening frequently.
-
Annie Caird 🌻 (@AnnieCaird) reported from Islington, England@virginmedia How long have you got? I have just sat down in a restaurant to cry on a friend’s shoulder. The nice server said, “how are you?” I just burst into tears! Seriously. My disappointment is palpable. I want to go back to @BT
-
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!!
-
Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England@virginmedia How long is due course? I’ve already spent hours on this issue with no resolution. I started this chat conversation on Wednesday 1st February. Wouldn’t you agree the customer service from Virgin is woeful?
-
lucy francis (@lucyfrancis_tri) reported from Camden Town, England@LPNevin @virginmedia I have the same problem, lost access to my email account
-
Mariachiara (@mariesnotcool) reported from Islington, England@virginmedia we’ve had no service in EC1V London, since our Wi-Fi was installed last month. We’ve tried to call countless time and we keep being told about “area issues” that would be solved the day after but never do. This is just unacceptable behaviour!

Barry Stevens (@BarryStevens75) reported@timlimbim @virginmedia Don’t do it , I did it in February they promote you can take your contract with you but they cancel the one at your current address and issue a new one to the new property . Only issue is your promotional discount doesn’t renew on the new contract.
-
Andrea ™ 🏳️🌈 (@I_am_Leighton_) reportedApparently to change to a new contract within @virginmedia they have to leave me with no tv etc for 4 days even though I’m already with them. I’ve never heard anything more ridiculous. Think I’ll be just be cancelling. Keep your renewal offer lol joke of a company
-
Busman (@Farestage) reported@virginmedia Not receiving any emails since PM yesterday afternoon on any devices, Birmingham area 12, except one at 7.31am this morning, your bill. when will service be restored ?
-
🌈april🐾 (@77razr) reportedIm back online. Spent hours troubleshooting our new router which was only doing Ethernet and not wireless. I lug my pc downstairs to check the settings. OUR PRINTED PASSWORD IS MISSING TWO ******* CHARACTERS **** VIRGIN MEDIA **** YOU
-
Steven Mills (@srmills90) reported@elissetennis I’ll try again tomorrow. I’ve had problems trying to watch streams through Amazon Prime via TNT/HBO with my provider (Virgin Media.) It shouldn’t be this confusing! And I can’t even seem to sign up for TNT Sports through the app to watch on my smartphone anymore!

NICK🇬🇧 ⚽LEICESTER.CITY.FC⚽ (@Nick_LCFC_fan_1) reported@virginmedia The biggest problem I'm having with virgin 360 is the removal of the best features from the old software. Where is the "wishlist" recording mode so I can record anything that has "*random city name*" in the description? I have so many more problems. We need a money discount..
-
🇬🇧🔥 FIRE is awesome 😎 (@GrahamCompton) reported@CompoundingISA @MartinSLewis @ao Such short sighted customer service experience. I's like dealing with Virgin Media 10 years ago. I had to tell them 2-3 times that yes, I really did want to cancel. Thankfully, I was only on hold for a few minutes.
-
Bella Harvey 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧 (@Lady__Britannia) reported@trapdoor456 @virginmedia Switched from rip off Virgin to Box Broadband a few years ago, now Community Fibre ... Never looked back
-
Eternal Elneny (@eternalelneny) reported@virginmedia With all due respect, the engineers have been there all day, I saw two of them having a 20 minute lunch break at 10am. Can you push these engineers to get this completed today? Compensation isn’t a valid response to not being able to work - ridiculous service.

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.
