    Hi @virginmedia after 2 weeks of repeated calls and being promised a new remote ordered each time when it wasn’t, I finally reached a customer service agent called Maciej Betnat who took the time yesterday and today to help. He is great & I want to see that this is recognised. 👏🏻

    Hey @virginmedia it’d be pretty cool if you guys fixed my internet at some point. Like i know I’ve only spent £30 trying to call you guys and I did get to speak to this nice angry man on your support line who hung up on me immediately (which is a bargain)

    Banjo (@Chban1967) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia Absolute shambles of a company with absolute zero customer care. Phone up and agree a contract only to get something totally different phone to complain they tell you the phones getting cut off, the goalposts get moved continuously, communication atrocious. AVOID!!!

    @virginmedia OK. That's fine . Every time I service check my broadband it tells me there's a fault in my area and its being investigated and to come back in 24 hours and it will be looked into but when I do this it just gives the same response . Its very confusing. And not very helpful at.

  • ChristianBunga7
    bristian cungay (@ChristianBunga7) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia The checks tell me there are issues. regardless I don’t really care about wider issues in my area. I’ve been sent in a loop for the past month and it’s still broken, I’ve been paying for this time and not receiving a service - this is not the first time either @Ofcom

    @virginmedia Wifi not working at all also not letting me watch any live tv?

  • RedemptionBroon
    Redemption80 (@RedemptionBroon) reported from Birkenshaw, Scotland

    @GSpellchecker @virginmedia They are rarely competent, not as bad as Vodafone but no one is. Broadband speed wise though no one is close so no interest in cancelling.

  • Hollz2012
    Holly McCormack 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Hollz2012) reported from Paisley, Scotland

    It seems I made a good call using the OVO priority link this morning and not one through virgin media. Joined a virtual queue of around 12,000 that took half hour and although would like to have been lower down at the gig, I can’t have many complaints. #peterkay

  • GlasgowThat
    That Glasgow Florida Family🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈 (@GlasgowThat) reported from Cambuslang, Scotland

    Virgin Media @virginmedia should be investigated by Ofcom they are taking money from people while not supplying a service. They are providing a substandard service when the do supply it. Major areas of Glasgow no internet until Jan 5th. Do not join this company they are the worst

    @virginmedia But where paying for a service that isn’t working it’s not just a local loss it’s all over

    @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!

  • WolfofX
    Wolf of X (@WolfofX) reported

    In 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.

    @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

    @MickeyDN7 @virginmedia @SkySports Sky customer having the same issue, so I'd say the problem is on Sky's side not Virgins
