Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Staines, England

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

  • JulianHull Julian Hull (@JulianHull) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for replying TG, it’s back up now, however I do have a registered complaint about being charged £7.50 every month to upgraded to unlimited data on my broadband that has unlimited data.

  • mattlfc78 Matt Browne (@mattlfc78) reported from Ash, England

    @virginmedia Basically we wanted to save money as we were paying too much so we spoke to you guys and we were offered the £99 package which was great but sadly the system was down so the lady said she would call us back in the week. Well that never happened and then a direct debit went

  • martyncodes lets be agile (@martyncodes) reported from East Horsley, England

    @RomperCrompton @virginmedia The thing is, the phone and broadband use the same physical cabling and network... it’s more a historic pricing model but based upon the shared system

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia Thank you. Virgin Boffin says no issues in area. I have carried out 3 x fully resets and all I am getting is flashing areos and horizontal lines.

  • aamer74 aamer habib (@aamer74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi which is supposed to be the fastest speed is down every day now since four days and comes on in the morning the next day this is unacceptable service

  • richie_b_80 Richie Berryman (@richie_b_80) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia my broadband connection has been down all day! Help! I have reset and done the troubleshooter tool

  • soniagrosvenor1 soniagrosvenor (@soniagrosvenor1) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Looking at numerous other tweets complaining about @virginmedia and there appalling customer service and useless complaints department!!!

  • aarongrantham aaron grantham (@aarongrantham) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia No, as I explained, it appears to be no longer a problem. I am less concerned with a fault occurring; that happens. I am more irritated by a lack of notification of the change, no response to my call and your lack of acceptance of their being a problem.

  • jackjfaulkner Jack Faulkner (@jackjfaulkner) reported from Hounslow, England

    @virginmedia As the issue is still ongoing and I have an open complaint with no response for 2 weeks can someone from Virgin media please contact me about these charges.

  • Margare7a Margareta Dovgal (@Margare7a) reported from Hammersmith, England

    Hey @virginmedia - I was charged £15 on July 19 for Virgin Media WiFi on the London Underground. But the pass isn't showing on my account. I'm not a Virgin customer, so go in circles on the menu when I call customer service. Please help!

  • Jimbwlah James Milward (@Jimbwlah) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand how you can get away with 10%+ yearly bill increase with no service improvement. I’ve been with you for 15 years and enough is enough, I’m switching. No other company does this - I’m speaking to the communication ombudsman, it needs investigation

  • mattlfc78 Matt Browne (@mattlfc78) reported from Ash, England

    @virginmedia Of our account for the same amount as last month. We were told that we’d be paying £99 a month but more was taken. We have been trying to sort this problem out for a week now and no one is helping. We asked to speak to a manager and got told there wasnt any available

  • chrisscoff Chris Scoffield (@chrisscoff) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia service is appalling. Engineer arranged last Friday for today. Didn’t turn up. Now told it had been cancelled and we were informed. Lies Lies Lies. Broadband is almost unusabale. Can’t wait for contract to end so we can get sky.

  • aarongrantham aaron grantham (@aarongrantham) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia very irritating. Sky sports golf is dead on Virgin 515:ladies open appears to be on sky mis 520. Tried to phone vurgin. Held for 16 minutes then gave up. Terrible.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria @AaronGaben Virgin says no issues in my area but all I am getting is flashing green arrows and no connectivity... full reset and switched off 3 tokes but to no avail.

  • MichelleMcGrade Michelle McGrade (@MichelleMcGrade) reported from Brentford, England

    No internet for 3 days engineers no show twice @virginmedia customer service best response- I’m sorry I‘ll book you another appointment at our convenience! Shocking!

  • JCunninghamUK Jordan Cunningham (@JCunninghamUK) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia WHY IS YOUR WIFI THE ABSOLUTE WORST WIFI IN THE WORLD!!!! Anymore than 5 metres away and it disconnects - getting very frustrated

  • BenAlderweireld Mate Parlov (@BenAlderweireld) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia omds can you sort out your ‘service’

  • soniagrosvenor1 soniagrosvenor (@soniagrosvenor1) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Still awaiting reply from Lutz Schuler @virginmedia , chief executive, re numerous complaints re incompetent staff @virginmedia. Lousy customer service!

  • mgrazia_baf sbruffoncella #antifa🇮🇹🇪🇺🇬🇧🌋 (@mgrazia_baf) reported from London, England

    In a world that runs on the net if you are a @virginmedia customer you have to wait 4 days for an engineer to fix a modem, installed only in November 2018. IT’S NOT A JOKE!!! Thank you for letting me loose a day of work and 3 days worth of studying. #virginbroadband

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RichardUnstead Richard Unstead (@RichardUnstead) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for replying, there is a better deal but as a loyal customer since the Telewest days it's not open to me. I'd be content with anything I'd consider fair, even if it were slightly more but £71 vs. £35.99 .... There must be a middle ground.

  • stew_howard Stewart Howard (@stew_howard) reported

    @virginmedia @btsport why can't I watch BTSport1 on my android device via the virgin tv go app? I am getting a rights restriction message. I pay for the service so should be able to watch all programmes irrespective of the device being used.

  • AriehMiller Arieh Miller (@AriehMiller) reported

    @virginmedia Yeh, I've booked an engineer. Seems the key is to call 3 times for the same issue.

  • MelSharpe1 Mel Sharpe (@MelSharpe1) reported

    @virginmedia Not till tomorrow afternoon Hope you cancel my bill this month. Terrible service . I need my internet to work some people work on a Sunday

  • DaydreamPainter Tamas Toth (@DaydreamPainter) reported

    @virginmedia They don’t do any checks. Your call centre staff is trained to get rid of customers so they don’t reach the managers or file a complaint. I’ve recorded them lying.

  • GxcciDemon Ben Pimblett (@GxcciDemon) reported

    @virginmedia really do have the worst internet hahaha

  • AdyJ Adrian Japp (@AdyJ) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband still at @ 2Mb/s instead of 500Mb/s since early Friday evening. Virgin cancelled the engineer appt for Monday stating known network issues. When will this be fixed? Not good enough.

  • MelSharpe1 Mel Sharpe (@MelSharpe1) reported

    @virginmedia So you want me to use more of my data . You are having a laugh. As I say great service

  • RichardUnstead Richard Unstead (@RichardUnstead) reported

    @paullloyd1 @virginmedia I am in the exact same position, retain your customers through great service, don't hold them to ransom. Be bold, be different. Don't resort to these tactics please.

  • genius_learning Peter Freeth (@genius_learning) reported
