  @virginmedia I have tried the status but its saying the service is fine. Yet all the people on out estate are complaining they cannot get onto Virgin internet. We cannot book an engineer as isolating. Why is it constantly broken or speeds so slow?

  @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

  @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia It’s fine here but earlier in March we were left without any service for days at a time . The reason given was service upgrades. Ring them on 150 for an automated update

  @virginmedia you are aware that a lot of older, more vulnerable people have had alarm and safety devices installed that depend on a safe, fast, reliable service. The one that they, like, you know pay a lot of money for

  @virginmedia awful and aggressive scare tactics from your not so friendly cancellations rep when trying to cancel my service. God help any vulnerable person that tries to do the same thing. Shameful

  @virginmedia ongoing intermittent issues with my broadband for weeks now and yet your website gives no option to get through to anyone to help despite it promising to do so. Keeps telling me to check back in 24 hours. Unacceptable level of service!

  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 48 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I've checked and definitely not entitled due to the amount of days with no service. Like I said, a good will gesture. People who are working from home haven't been able to work for a start. Only been with you a few weeks and have nothing but issues.

  @virginmedia what's the issue with answering a call? Line went dead, my mum can't receive incoming texts and is due an upgrade. Your customer service is terrible, God only knows what will happen when I call for TV

  Hi @virginmedia How do I stop receiving calls from your marketing department? I must be getting at least one weekly, tell them to stop & block the number, yet they keep coming. Can you help please? 🙏

  Mark 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@MrMarkW67) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I’m really struggling with my Wi-Fi coverage at home. I have a security camera mounted right above my window, but it constantly drops connection due to weak signal. To make matters worse, I get virtually no Wi-Fi signal at all when I am sitting in my back garden, which is really frustrating. Given how close these areas are to the house, I shouldn't be losing connection like this. Could someone please check my Hub settings/signal or advise on getting Wi-Fi Pods to fix these dead zones? Thanks,

  Switching from @virginmedia today, going for just broadband with YouFibre & saving £70 a month for a speed more than 3x what Virgin wanted £10 a month more for. Hoping it does what it says, but Virgin service & Customer Service have been diabolical this year. Anyone use YouFibre?

  Wolf of X (@WolfofX) reported 23 minutes ago

  In 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.
