Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Writtle, England

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

  • BancoDePapa グラハム・スミス® ©Official (@BancoDePapa) reported from London, England

    @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

  • WilsonJevelyn Dr Jan Evelyn-Wilson (@WilsonJevelyn) reported from London, England

    @VirginMedia wi-fi just cut out AGAIN! Annoying when one is in the middle of something. WHY!

  • _Lewis_A 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

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

    So @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

  • shah4569 Shah 🦅 (@shah4569) reported from London, England

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

  • shah4569 Shah 🦅 (@shah4569) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia bring back customer service to the UK. Philippines is a joke!

  • BancoDePapa グラハム・スミス® ©Official (@BancoDePapa) reported from London, England

    I wonder if anyone has a #skyglass connected to a #virginmedia broadband? At least with #SkyQ your TV service will be unaffected

  • MelanieHart72 Melanie Hart (@MelanieHart72) reported from London, England

    @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

  • Lisa2672 Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡

  • Lisa2672 Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  • Lozraus Rex (@Lozraus) reported from London, England

    @_MxMike @virginmedia It’s been down for us since 1am 😫

  • Mustxkim Mustakim. (@Mustxkim) reported from London, England

    Virgin Media moving weird. My wifi is working but for certain things. YouTube, IG, Disney+ is all fine but Safari, Twitter and other apps ain’t working. Fix up man. I ain’t paying all this money for daily issues @virginmedia

  • farnsworth_adam Adam Farnsworth (@farnsworth_adam) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s appalling they can act so quickly What about the speed issue?

  • joybrenda Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia help why have you made it so difficult to log a landline vault on line. Need to call, as line out of order since friday. I am certain it's systems fault as display message I have seen on previous occasions.

  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from Romford, England

    So @virginmedia want £288 to cancel a contract I've had since 2018. Can I get through to anyone to speak about it? NO!!

  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from Romford, England

    On phone to @virginmedia for 55 mins to cancel, speak to 4 different people about a mis-sold service and then when I ask them to produce my contract they hang up. Not happy.

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

    @virginmedia My broadband is down again - area21. Any idea of when it will be fixed?

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    @virginmedia down again

  • lukemartin243 Luke Martin (@lukemartin243) reported

    @virginmedia really poor effort in the internet and tv, been out yesterday for most the day and back up no again down…..

  • Dhorli_Warrior Sandeep Singh Manhas (@Dhorli_Warrior) reported

    @virginmedia can someone help me my home install kit arrived but when I chose that option it failed to mention that I needed a Virgin wall Socket ! I have rang the telephone number but no one is helping! I work from home so in big trouble #virginmediahelp

  • Scarlett1881 Scarlett (@Scarlett1881) reported

    @virginmedia Is there any reason it’s taking so long and I’m getting texts daily pushing it back 1/2 days everytime? Is it even being worked on? 10 days with no wifi isn’t right, I’m paying for a service you’re not providing

  • clairewhyte12 claire whyte (@clairewhyte12) reported

    @virginmedia internet keeps going off and status page says no problems when initially clicked on, it then says intermittent signal when doing a check? 3 days now. When is it going to be sorted???

  • TCloudscaper The cloudscaper (@TCloudscaper) reported

    @virginmedia @555Husker Virgin Media has promised to fix my broadband since the 15th day in, day out, empty words. They cut my wire and left. Still no service, no fix, just promises. This isn’t acceptable. #VirginMedia #BroadbandFail

  • mickharkin68531 mick harkin (@mickharkin68531) reported

    @brakusmc @virginmedia @SkyUK I would expect so much more from a business broadband service

  • brakusmc The REAL Ric Jones (@brakusmc) reported

    At this point, I'm certain @virginmedia is just a ploy to get me back in the office. My phone is on WiFi but the app says I'm not. Awful signal in my home office & when they tell me to order a pod, the link doesn't work. Even though it was slower, I shouldn't have left @SkyUK

  • KatieMcElhoney 𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐄 🌺 (@KatieMcElhoney) reported

    @virginmedia swapping over to yourselves has been such a mistake & it seems so immoral keeping us in our contract when you can’t provide the speeds we have paid for. 15 years with @O2 and they’ll be losing me as a customer too because your merger insinuates you both think it’s OK

  • JohnYani John Yani (@JohnYani) reported

    @c3llc0de @shangoman @virginmedia VirginMedia beats OpenReach in fibre coverage. And is cheaper. The problem is either aggressive sales or a leaky customer database.
