Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Watford, England

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

  • markatpt Mark Armstrong (@markatpt) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia You didn’t reach out sadly and I’ve now cancelled the installation. Having spoken to someone clearly at home with her baby screaming in the background I have zero confidence that you are able to help us.

  • seanhannam seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia Is this how you treat your ‘priority customers?’ During a cost of living crisis, we have chosen to stay with you, yet you can’t pull your finger out to look after your customers. I work from home but can’t fully use the service I’m paying for due to your incompetence.

  • jasonhier Jason Hier (@jasonhier) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Is service in London W13 working?

  • markatpt Mark Armstrong (@markatpt) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia you have now postponed an installation scheduled for 4th November to Christmas Eve! Can’t see that happening. Maybe someone actually based in the UK might bother to contact me about this? Minded to cancel otherwise. Not acceptable service.

  • Mrspdyer Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia @mundaytom Not true. No response to complaint letter sent August and when we’ve rung “manager will call you in 3-5 days”. Been told that 3 times. Not one callback. Shambles.

  • Mrspdyer Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Finally sent letter on 28 September and on checking my account realised you’ve got wrong email address attached to complaint file. Funnily enough you have correct email address for sending bills. 3/

  • seanhannam seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @MikeCoxCowes @virginmedia @HP What hope is there for the smart home when even a wireless printer needs reconfiguring after a simple wi-fi network change?

  • magma62 mara penzo (@magma62) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia I know where to check, thanks! My problem still persist! It's Friday night and I have no Internet?! Why? They have been carrying out works for weeks now. I think I need a compensation. Why am I paying money for no service?

  • seanhannam seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia We’ve spoken to eight people to try and resolve our internet issues.We’ve ordered new boosters because the new service isn’t compatible with the old ones.We’re a ‘priority customer’ - the new boosters still haven’t arrived…So frustrating. Your service is appalling.

  • seanhannam seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia Why should we call up again for the ninth time? We’re a ‘priority customer.’ You should be calling us and making amends.I’m a consumer tech journalist with 25 years’ experience. Your customer service is the worst I’ve ever encountered. You simply don’t care about your customers.

  • Liamsmith260493 Liam Smith (@Liamsmith260493) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Our Wifi has been down since yesterday can you help please

  • Mrspdyer Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Customer Service is shocking. It’s now almost 6 hours since I asked on WhatsApp for email address to be corrected and I’m still waiting for a response.

  • Mrspdyer Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Of course I have. My email is correct on online account. I get email bills correctly. But my complaint file has an extra character to email address and so I’ve never received acknowledgment of my complaint.

  • Mrspdyer Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Also raised it in web complaint form which didn’t work. Web complaint form hasn’t worked for 2 months. Then sent letter and still no response. 2/

  • jfcolomer Juan Folgar Colomer (@jfcolomer) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what's the reason for the intermittent broadband service in the Charlton #SE7 area? Any ETA when this will be solved?

  • Mrspdyer Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia No, I’m trying to find out the status of my complaint received by Virgin on 30 September. I’ve had zero communication or acknowledgment of it.

  • Barchetta66 Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Camden Town, England

    Our 4th day of no internet thanks to @virginmedia Can’t talk to a person. Fix date changes three times a day and it’s yet to be fixed. And yet they take a small fortunes out of our account every month.

  • SandraS80775853 Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Brilliant get out clause @virginmedia. What you fail to realise is that when your so called service goes down for hours at a time, over the course of time amounts to so, so so much more than 48 hours!! Roll on switching of providers.

  • seanhannam seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    Didn’t realised upgrading our @virginmedia internet would cripple my home office. Wireless @HP printer can’t find the network and I have to get new boosters for the other rooms in the house. So frustrating - I’ve wasted so much time trying to sort it all out. To no avail.

  • HoarseRoar eamorugby (@HoarseRoar) reported from Slough, England

    @virginmedia Still no service. Your website tells me service is fine. Over the phone the automated message is “an intermittent service” and when I finally spoke with someone they’ve organised a technician to visit next TUESDAY. It’s a mess.

  • bloggydoc Tammy Rothenberg (@bloggydoc) reported

    @virginmedia I was on hold for 1 hour 25 minutes and then got cut off. I’m finding it hard to deliver remote #NHS #healthcare with repeated intermittent wifi drop out. Please help. Will you refund NhS for its time or give it back to patients? #DoBetter

  • Stac1979 Stacey Jarvis (@Stac1979) reported

    @virginmedia Can anyone please help I still have no tv. If I could actually get through to someone I would be cancelling my contract !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • goonie2008 Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported

    @StuartY19 @virginmedia I signed up beginning of year, July I eventually paid them off as it was crap. Never again. Moved my daughter as well as hers was loosing signal. I think they are losing the plot.

  • MisterBoote Neil C Boote (@MisterBoote) reported

    @OwenJones84 @virginmedia @JeremyVineOn5 I have resorted to running ethernet cables outside and hardwiring my work laptop. Having said that I have not experienced that, only poor coverage at the back of house.

  • Stewart_Booth Stewart Booth (@Stewart_Booth) reported

    @virginmedia I’m still waiting on a booster to be delivered - I was told it would be 2-3 days..... that was 12 days ago!! Currently paying for a service that only works in about 50% of the rooms I need it to work in. Oh, and you’re now charging an extra £3 for the booster that I haven’t got!

  • PGCpower PGC-power (@PGCpower) reported

    @Baileysbear @virginmedia I've had troubles with mine too constantly on and off every half hour the service is **** so much for one of the best internet's around eh

  • wangvilla Zhengwei Wang (@wangvilla) reported from Kildare, Leinster

    What the heck is your broadband service? It is broken at times everyday. Can your engineers make it even worse??? Your internet makes my WFH experience awesome. Thank you !!!!!!!! @VirginMediaIE @virginmedia

  • BoulestinAdam Adam Boulestin (@BoulestinAdam) reported

    Kmt @virginmedia has been down for 24 hr. Do I have to wait for 2021 to have internet?

  • OllieHill Tall, Dark & Tall (@OllieHill) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve held off putting anything on twitter regards to the service I am getting. But today is the straw that has broke the camels back. In short. Signed up to virgin 10 weeks ago. Ive been without internet for 6 weeks. Lied to by virgin staff on multiple occasions...,
