Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Southend-on-Sea and nearby locations:

  • neilmead Neil Mead (@neilmead) reported from Gillingham, England

    Awful customer service from @virginmedia As a long-standing customer I only called to see if there were any offers available, but of course these are only for new customers and told I have best deal already. I doubt that. Same old story. #disappointed

  • LeePatmore Lee Patmore (@LeePatmore) reported from Basildon, England

    It’s a shame @Virgin only look after new customers & punish old customers. One less customer because of New Cystomer deals not available to look after current ones #ShameOnYou #Virgin #Virginmedia

  • alancollinspdb Alan Collins Rosell 🔶️🎗 (@alancollinspdb) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Your customer service is a joke! I've been on the phone over an hour and spoken to 9 different people to be lied to and told the engineer tried knocking and calling my mobile this morning (I've been home all morning but had no one at the door and no missed calls).

  • TicTac1985 Suzanne D Edwards (@TicTac1985) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia this awful service is part of the reason I'm leaving. Over an hour of trying to get told lines are busy, no queue or anything just call back later

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia majority of my channels stopped working, picture and sound very distorted about an hour ago, tried rebooting etc still not working. Tried ringing but your too busy and call cuts off 😡

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia There are no faults in my area. The issue is likely to be with the router as the 2.4ghz works consistently on other devices.

  • alancollinspdb Alan Collins Rosell 🔶️🎗 (@alancollinspdb) reported from Gillingham, England

    It's 11:45. Having been awake until about 6 or so this morning for the election count, my alarm was set for 8 so I could be up in time for the @virginmedia engineer to fix my broadband. They'd be here between 8 and 12 they said. Clock's ticking...

  • roxcreeve Roxc Reeve (@roxcreeve) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Like I said terrible service staff don’t no what there doing thanks to u lot my mum hasn’t afforded Christmas because u made her pay 3 months worth when you didn’t even tell her her payment didn’t go through!

  • Kelly_QPR Kelly 🐰 (@Kelly_QPR) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia We were told we would get a call back within 72 hrs on Sat morn but no call. Every time we call we spend 90 mins on hold. We are new customers & have numerous problems. Now considering cancelling due to appalling customer service. Please can someone contact me.

  • lulaamillss millsey. (@lulaamillss) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia This tells me there is no error. Our internet works when plugged in but no wifi whatsoever! Need this sorted ASAP because clearly the service isnt 'good'.

  • Tiger118118 Thomas Hapgood (@Tiger118118) reported from Basildon, England

    Hope @virginmedia fix it before 9 because @LoveIsland Final is on at 9 😖😖😖😖😖

  • frankroe2 frank #13 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@frankroe2) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia why is so hard to get in contact with you, it’s like you don’t want to help.

  • TomRoss_ Tom Ross (@TomRoss_) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Yes there are issues showing. But this is direct through the TiVo box not the app.

  • LiamWren liammwren (@LiamWren) reported from Rochester, England

    Wait all day for the 16:30 kick off. Don't watch anything and pay £70/month for this. Sat on the phone for half an hour trying to speak to someone. Shocking. If you can't deliver what you promise then cancel my subscription. 👊 @Virgin @virginmedia

  • paulparker81 Paul Parker (@paulparker81) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia online chat help absolute waste of an hour of my life, now on hold for 20 mins so far. Disgusting customer service.

  • roxcreeve Roxc Reeve (@roxcreeve) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia My direct debit failed I wasn’t sent a letter just got cut off I was then threatened to pay 3 months in advance new customers don’t even do that I put in a complaint no one called me back this was last week

  • roxcreeve Roxc Reeve (@roxcreeve) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    The way my mum has been treated by virgin media this week is disgusting as a paying customer she’s been in tears and they’ve violated there terms and conditions @richardbranson your staff should be ashamed of themselves

  • frankroe2 frank #13 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@frankroe2) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Our virgin remote has stopped working, tried re pairing and new batteries but won’t turn volume up or down or tv on/off

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia It’s been awful. The connection is sporadic at best.

  • wn1wn1 jonathan walden (@wn1wn1) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NoLiesSpokeHere 🌈\o/☘ (@NoLiesSpokeHere) reported

    So while everyone is complaining they can't watch Netflix etc... my elderly mum and others in the street are without phones as they don't use mobiles. This is why no-one should depend on the Internet and the fancy technology. Landlines never fail @virginmedia @BTCare

  • csljohnkirby John Kirby (@csljohnkirby) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you for your kind offer, but it is not for public consumption here, nor should it take a post on social media to get even basic customer service from an organisation

  • csljohnkirby John Kirby (@csljohnkirby) reported

    @virginmedia The system is sending me around in endless loops, every time I ask to speak to a customer agent, he say it need to check.

  • csljohnkirby John Kirby (@csljohnkirby) reported

    @virginmedia Again, thank you, but I have now wasted enough time on it, and have made a formal complaint now. Have a nice weekend.

  • csljohnkirby John Kirby (@csljohnkirby) reported

    @virginmedia Stuck in an endless loops on the phone, just a useless customer service experience

  • spud81 Nicola Murphy-Lunn (@spud81) reported

    @virginmedia just spent 20 minutes on hold for an agent to answer but not speak I didn’t cut the call - they did after about 5 minutes - mustn’t want to work Saturdays so not only do I have ABYSMAL WiFi I get matched service from your agents

  • cpfc_taylor Taylor (@cpfc_taylor) reported

    @virginmedia Worst internet provider in the uk

  • Mazzareece999 Mason (@Mazzareece999) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not good enough, it’s now Saturday morning turning to afternoon and the internet has been gone since Wednesday night **** give me no bs about your workers are cut for the job, it doesn’t take 3 days to fix it

  • jonnyw71 Jonny Whitehead (@jonnyw71) reported

    @virginmedia @shaunabanksxo It doesn’t actually list anything though! You just get stuck in an endless loop of “check your status”…”we can’t work it out so contact us”…”Cora can’t help other than try checking your status”…and back to the beginning again. It’s really not good enough.

  • Raph_P11 R.President 🇬🇩🇱🇨 (@Raph_P11) reported

    @virginmedia are terrible man. Constant wifi issues
