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

• 
  Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported 6 minutes ago from Rochester, England

  @virginmedia No landline for 9 days following a house move, incorrect bills, and poor customer service being cut off many times

• 
  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 9 minutes ago 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.

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 9 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

  Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported 14 minutes ago 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.

  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 15 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

• 
  Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported 17 minutes ago from Rochester, England

  @virginmedia I've already done that. They've made promises but done nothing. I always have to chase you. Phone backs just don't happen. Nobody wants to help.

• 
  Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported 18 minutes ago from Gillingham, England

  @virginmedia No its ok.... ill get a proper company to take the contract over and cancel you. @BBCWatchdog are surely interesting in your customer service as I have screen shots.

• 
  Robert Shaw (@hungoverdrawn) reported 18 minutes ago from Wainscott, England

  @virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.

• 
  Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported 23 minutes ago from Thundersley, England

  Anyone else really struggling with slow speeds over the last 10 days with @virginmedia. It's been spot on for 2 years now and then 10 days it seems something has happened. Lucky to get over 10Mb now 🙈

  Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported 29 minutes ago from Canvey Island, England

  @virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

• 
  paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported 32 minutes ago from Rochester, England

  @MrG48 @virginmedia Yep. Turned it all off once came back ok but very hit and miss tonight. Good job not working from home at the moment.

• 
  matt (@briggsym) reported 33 minutes ago from Wickford, England

  @virginmedia how can I complain about internet reliability from your service. It has been appalling and inconsistent and seriously considering moving to another provider.

• 
  john perreira (@johnperreira) reported 34 minutes ago from Basildon, England

  @simon_perreira @virginmedia Go with @NOWTV bruv.. never had a major problem with their service and you get a few tv channels thrown in as well.. when ever there has been a outside problem it been sorted in days.. oh and it def be 💯 cheaper than @virginmedia #Cowboys

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 36 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

• 
  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 40 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported 47 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

• 
  Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported 50 minutes ago from Canvey Island, England

  Having real problems with our broadband dropping out regularly @virginmedia. Any known issues in the SS8 area?

• 
  ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported 53 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  I'm having real trouble cancelling my Virgin media account. Cant6v chat them, can't email them now on hold for 10 minutes. Just want to end the contract give 30 days notice. New promotion only for new customers. Wtf?

• 
  roger cole (@RogerCole10135) reported 57 minutes ago from Basildon, England

  @virginmedia reply to your tweet “NO” my wife pays a lot of money to your company for a poor service.

• 
  ∂αиѕкι (@DanskiBoyWonder) reported 59 minutes ago from Rochester, England

  @virginmedia They replaced the box and it’s all working now,I do have one other query I have the Virgin go app but I don’t have any content available on it,is this something you can fix for me? There appears to be an issue with my account I have the ultimate ooomph package if that matters.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• 
  asum izak (@yrubswed) reported 3 minutes ago

  @Ofcom @virginmedia must send you an End of Contract Notification (EoCN) between 10 and 40 days before contract ends. This alerts upcoming price changes and available deals, however, sometimes this does not provide 30 days' notice to formally cancel on most occasions. Ofcom investigate

• 
  Sir Moanalot (@Sir_Moanalot_) reported 3 minutes ago

  @Benleo @virginmedia They are awful. I’ve been stuck with an exorbitantly priced rolling contract because I plan to move house soon and have no idea if wherever I move to will have VM cable in the street. Zero reward for customer loyalty. When I do finally move, @virginmedia can get in the bin.

• 
  KrYpt (@KrYpt923317) reported 11 minutes ago

  @Benleo Disgusting customer service. I’ve had many issues with then. Financial Ombudsman Service have always helped, but now they’ve changed regulators, who are almost as bad as VM. Virgin Media just hiding behind a great product.

• 
  Dave Hughes (@DaveHughes182) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia This issue appeared to be fixed only for the internet connection to drop out again a few minutes later last night and the fix date remains 5 whole days! It doesn't seem to be affecting anyone else in my street other than me. Can anyone help?

• 
  Chrissie (@Luv_Farmers) reported 12 minutes ago

  @Benleo @virginmedia I'm surprised that an investigative journalist even accepted these conditions in the 1st place. VM has an awful reputation for this kind of behaviour which is widely known. Sorry this happened to you but it was to be expected

• 
  just me (@finalstand79) reported 12 minutes ago

  @Benleo @virginmedia are shocking, offered me a contract with Netflix, didn't get it , made a complaint , did nothing other than acknowledged i made a complaint and my signal is always shocking. Warned so many people about them

• 
  Reform UK - Lincoln Branch (@ReformUKLincoln) reported 12 minutes ago

  @Benleo Just look at @Trustpilot reviews. Almost impossible to cancel an @virginmedia contract. Sent all evidence to Ombudsman, got written apology and £150.

• 
  An tsean bhean bhocht 🇮🇪🇵🇱 (@CrimhthanMor) reported 13 minutes ago

  @crt_dean @TheAmanuensis @MalachySteenson They actually tend to be handpicked from state funded media, which is literally every media outlet in the country to be honest, Gript is an exception, I'm sure there are others but most are in some way or other recieving state support. Even Virgin media got handouts.

• 
  Martin Collins (@Martin84Collins) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Any update on this issue as anything in the virginmedia store when you try and load it up it freezes. There is a TV issue in service status it says it should have been resolved yesterday. My area reference is 031. Thanks

  @Benleo @virginmedia Doesn’t surprise me one bit. Definitely the worst brand as well.
