Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Writtle, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Writtle and nearby locations:

  • GoonerGrizzly grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  • donnorcean Connor Dean (@donnorcean) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia have had intermittent issues for over a month now, every time I go down the route of reporting the issue it just says wait 24 hours. How can I speak to someone about this as the phone number never gets me to a person?

  • LutherB40510976 Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia can you give me a direct number to call to cancel my contract. I've used whataspp / webchat and spoken to two people in last 24 hours - but to no avail.

  • LongshanksE10 Richard Astley (@LongshanksE10) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @virginmedia Hi there. Our broadband is down. Your phone line says CM23 area has problems being fixed. Website says there are no issues. Can you be the tie breaker please so we know whether it’s our hardware (again) or a broader issue?

  • dicksielives David Ball (@dicksielives) reported from Romford, England

    Hi @virginmedia I ordered a new phone via my wife (who is already on Virgin mobile) last Friday. I was told to wait for a confirmation email which I still have not received. Can you help? I have the order No.

  • 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?!

  • NoddyMaccy ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia The issue has now been resolved just after my tweet, I was just very angry at the time. Thank you though for responding.

  • donnorcean Connor Dean (@donnorcean) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Still cutting in and out as it has been for many weeks… no local area issues listed anywhere. Have been trying to get ahold of someone for weeks now but just keeps looping in the app, really frustrating

  • LutherB40510976 Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what is the number for your complaints department? It seems impossible to actually terminate my contract with you. Am I in the Hotel California?

  • BobCratchitt Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests

  • LaurenLFlower charlie and Blossom (@LaurenLFlower) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Hi I have an issue with my current plan? It says I’ve cancelled my O2 benefits but I never received the sim nor did I cancel.

  • elthampalacegay royal 🌈 (@elthampalacegay) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I’m going to get disciplined in work as I don’t have internet connection. Who can my employer speak with to confirm this is a virgin issue??

  • tomaszrykala Tomasz Rykała (@tomaszrykala) reported from London, England

    Wow @virginmedia is having a complete meltdown in my area and their automated service is telling me that this "short" interruption to my internet services should be resolved at 10 am tomorrow. That's 14 hours from now! What if my work depended on it?

  • elthampalacegay royal 🌈 (@elthampalacegay) reported from London, England

    Can you please just sort out the broadband issues in SE9 @virginmedia Been ongoing since the 30th with timeline of resolution continually moving out.

  • mart_compton MartinCompton (@mart_compton) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    If there’s a company whose ‘welcome to…’ message when you call them is more hollow and meaningless than @virginmedia I’d be surprised. The depth of their customer ‘service’ crapness must be witnessed to be believed. Expect that to witness it is to lose years off your life.

  • blackheathma Amanda Birrell (@blackheathma) reported from London, England

    @MartinSLewis It is the worst company I have ever dealt with and I’m now actively discouraging others to use Virgin Media. Cancelling is also very difficult and deliberately so

  • GoonerGrizzly grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  • LongshanksE10 Richard Astley (@LongshanksE10) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Will I need to reboot my hub for the fix to take effect or will the service likely come back on its own?

  • GoonerGrizzly grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

  • tlcko1882 Burnley Dave:Not woke just human.💙🌈🍺🇪🇺 (@tlcko1882) reported from London, England

    @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 absaloute frauds. Been on phone for over an hour to cancel and some muppit from cancellations put me back in the queue becuase he didnt want to cancel my account. Good work 👏

  • marcr2 Marc (@marcr2) reported

    @virginmedia I’m still having intermittent broadband issues. It’s been 3-4 weeks. I’ve done everything advised online and on the automated calls. I can’t find an option to speak to a real person. I now want to leave @virginmedia because of this issue. Can I break my contract early?

  • PeacockAlex Alex Peacock (@PeacockAlex) reported

    @virginmedia can you please let me know how to speak to a human about possible fraud on my account? There's no option I can find on your customer services number and your live chat doesn't work

  • JackWhatley89 Jack Whatley (@JackWhatley89) reported

    @virginmedia been with you guys for five days now and have yet to have one of those days not be blighted by your terrible service. Does it get better or should I cancel now?

  • Chunkanator_ Oscar Biggs (@Chunkanator_) reported

    @KinnonKinnon @virginmedia Yeah, it's ridiculous. I've done it once before, but now they wanted to charge me £60, so I called and was told "You're a loyal customer, so we'll drop it down by £19" THATS STILL 5 MORE THAN I WAS PAYING PREVIOUSLY FOR NO DIFFERENCE

  • lauraburchett88 Laura Burchett (@lauraburchett88) reported

    @Simonefromnorth @virginmedia This is awful!!!!!

  • faolster92 Faolán Cahill (@faolster92) reported

    @virginmedia recently signed up as part of the one4all voucher offer but didn’t receive the voucher on 15th August as was told via text, can you help?

  • Bostonian7119 The Bostonian (@Bostonian7119) reported

    @virginmedia I was able to make a call. Then after I ended the call. The same problem.

  • becstalumps Becs (@becstalumps) reported

    @virginmedia The calls dropped when I was waiting to speak to someone 5 or 6 times. Connection keeps dropping. I finally spoke to someone yesterday who advised no faults. There's been issues today too. Pointless trying to find resolution when you're telling me theres no issue when there is!
