Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Sompting, England

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

  • Mick1082 Mike smith (@Mick1082) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia hi guys what’s going on with the tv phone and broadband service in the Bn2 area of Brighton mines all down and not working at all

  • nickbeddows Nick Beddows (@nickbeddows) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia That link leads to a page that's also down. Not great.

  • mel_shad 💀☠Mel Shad ☠💀 (@mel_shad) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @tanyabyrne @virginmedia Exactly this. I completely accept that emergency work cannot be helped and has to be done as soon as required, but scheduled improvement work should be different. It's not okay to just cut people off without notice and then make out it's an outage.

  • AnotherRunHQ Another Runner (@AnotherRunHQ) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    BroadBand down BN1 6... @virginmedia

  • davmcdngh David McDonagh (@davmcdngh) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate your response but I did get through to an agent and the response I got was quite frankly appalling. The only thing that link says is there is a problem with using the app. This is a problem that has now been going on for weeks

  • NighyNikki Nix at Home (@NighyNikki) reported from Worthing, England

    Anyone else having problems getting a refund out of @virginmedia. 45 days after being a customer for 22 years. They took the money fast enough from our bank account tho #CustomerService #loyaltycostsnothing

  • Less_worry More time Less worry (@Less_worry) reported from Worthing, England

    It’s so disappointing that #Loyalty counts for nothing! You only get a good deal if you are a new customer! Thanks @virginmedia for nothing!

  • MissClarePear Clare Pear (@MissClarePear) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Area 20 worthing problems all the time.

  • MissClarePear Clare Pear (@MissClarePear) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia I know about that but feel the issues are always happening and i just want to watch tv without having to reboot and check statue all the time. Just feel it's a bad service when I'm paying for full package with you. Thank you for looking into this for me. 😁

  • YellyPorsche Sue J (@YellyPorsche) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Please give me an email or phone number to complain. I have just spent an hour on your chat line service trying to resolve a long term TV issue and the person just stopped replying and another person wanted me to give all the info again. Im livid! We need an engineer

  • steveleppard stephen leppard (@steveleppard) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia are doing improvements in the area so my tv and broadband are down all day. Nice to be told. Working from home and can’t do a thing now. Wasted day. #Complaint

  • mel_shad 💀☠Mel Shad ☠💀 (@mel_shad) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Called customer service line & the message says virgin is doing improvement works in my area. I accept that if its emergency works there is nothing that can be done. The reason I am cross is if you have scheduled improvement work to do, you should tell people about it before!

  • Mick1082 Mike smith (@Mick1082) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia hi I’ve got to say I’m extremely disappointed by your customer service with upgrading my phone I called to upgrade on Monday and everything got though to including credit checks and the reply was sorry we’ve got to do back off checks and I’ve still heard nothing back

  • YellyPorsche Sue J (@YellyPorsche) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia No I dont want to trouble shoot. That was done twice before today and once today. Tbat is my whole point. I will use tge complaint process.

  • Mick1082 Mike smith (@Mick1082) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Ordering my phones was a absolute credit to your company gave excellent customer service

  • Furzeboy Mark Chambers (@Furzeboy) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia and you would get back to me (VM) After a couple of months I spoke to a young man in customer service who said it was something you offered and as I had issues with my landline he would get someone to call me about it ASAP this could take 72hrs &still waiting

  • AnotherRunHQ Another Runner (@AnotherRunHQ) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Have to credit @virginmedia this morning. Two days of problems with my router resolved this morning. No long waits. Just a quick on-site service. Thank you.

  • Furzeboy Mark Chambers (@Furzeboy) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia phoned you 3 weeks ago about a phone line on my hub, was told I’d get a call back within 72hrs and still waiting. Poor customer service.

  • MairtinODonnell Martin O'Donnell (@MairtinODonnell) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia It was an automated phone message saying my postcode would be down until 3pm for upgrade works. It would be nice to have been informed of this in advance. It is working again now.

  • AshJHow91 Ashley Howard (@AshJHow91) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia hurry up. No matter how many times you play the same song, over and over again. I Ashley will not hang up!

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Mwycher Megan Venn-Wycherley (@Mwycher) reported

    Our @virginmedia broadband has been absolutely terrible for the last few months, where we've had to use mobile data to attend meetings. Their help desk was the opposite of useful, and really highlighted how companies view non-tech people

  • NessaVanesssa 🇸🇱🇬🇭 (@NessaVanesssa) reported

    Everyday Virgin Media remind why I hate them. I will be minding my business and here they go with their awful service :)

  • Pablocollier Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported

    @virginmedia or you could send me the listing of broadband packages (speeds) available and not put the entire onus on the customer ? ....

  • jonny_rawlin Jonny Rawlin (@jonny_rawlin) reported

    @NastyNastii @virginmedia @EGX I have reported them to trading standards. They intentionally played down the amount of content available at this year's show by delaying the release of the schedule and providing very little in the way of visibility elsewhere. "... a little different" is not enough. #EGXrefund

  • LFCIgglePiggle aqil._.thefishyboi (@LFCIgglePiggle) reported

    @virginmedia how long is it and when will it go down?

  • bruceelliottuk Bruce Elliott (@bruceelliottuk) reported

    @virginmedia Unbelievably your link told me that all was well with my broadband connection even though your technical team had just told me there was a problem throughout my local area in DL3. Please get your act together and try to see things from a customer of 17 years’ angle

  • CMDRBitflipped Cam (@CMDRBitflipped) reported

    @virginmedia I try to be courteous when getting upgrade calls, and listen to what the offer is, but getting abruptly hung up on when I say I'm happy with my current service makes me feel less inclined to do so. Maybe check you are giving staff time to be polite in return?

  • samko1235 Sam K (@samko1235) reported

    Notified @virginmedia to cancel because service was bad and wasn't working. Told that they wouldn't send an engineer out unless I revoke cancellation. Leaving me paying for 30 days with no Internet until my Sky starts.

  • Vishan85 YoungMaster85 (@Vishan85) reported

    @virginmedia Thought as much. I wish to make a complaint re the service. I have had multiple outages in the last few months. All with no warnings. Not acceptable. My neighbor is with Sky BB, has no issues

  • EyeStayProd ᴇʏᴇꜱᴛᴀʏ (@EyeStayProd) reported

    @PalizeMusic I don’t know man, should try @virginmedia’s customer support
