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

  • ajb_ltd AJB Consultancy Group Ltd (@ajb_ltd) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia new customer and TiVo box is not working after 2 weeks. Shows menu and sound but no picture. Please provide a solution. Not happy.

  • claighton89 Claigh Young (@claighton89) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Each month I've had to make subsequent phone calls to have you rectify the bill. I called 2 or 3 times before this bill came out and was assured that it would not happen again. And as expected it has. Absolutely disgusting service!

  • claighton89 Claigh Young (@claighton89) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia have the absolute worst customer service going! Have once again made a **** up with our bill, even after speaking to (and being lied to by) 3 different people on the phone! Absolute joke of a company!!!

  • 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...

  • john22_1 john (@john22_1) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia Yes have virginmedia great when working but there call centre the worst in the world hate ringing it

  • ajb_ltd AJB Consultancy Group Ltd (@ajb_ltd) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia No difference. From the amount of complaints I have read on the same issue I think you know what the problem is with the new box.

  • nisbig10 philip gibson (@nisbig10) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia what an absolutely shocking service , on and off the phone from 11:00 am until 22:00 regarding my broadband service , nobody has a clue to what’s happening , been given completely conflicting information and website giving false information #offcom will receive copy

  • anna0898 Anna Bellwood (@anna0898) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia There is an issue in my area. Expected time for the issue to be resolved is four hours away 🙄

  • candylion5 Sam Hicks (@candylion5) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia We’ve already called and you’ve said you haven’t had the request so I don’t see how calling again will help. Sky have told us they have requested it. Have seen numerous accounts of you blocking number ports to Sky so I’m not surprised. Pretty outrageous.

  • Mike__Lloyd Mike Lloyd (@Mike__Lloyd) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia clearly there is a speed problem with Virgins internet speeds tonight looking at others and i am also having the same sorts of sub 10mbs speeds.

  • john_groves1308 john groves (@john_groves1308) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia are trying to bill me for a service i have never had and try to blame me for not telling them!

  • fizzyade Adrian Carpenter (@fizzyade) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @natjaydee There’s an outage, since about 12:40 this afternoon. I have virgin media business broadband so have been down for half the working day. Not ideal.

  • jgchurchcomms Joe Gallant (@jgchurchcomms) reported from Snodland, England

    @virginmedia 200mb package, as I said. No devices that are actively causing the issue - it’s been happening for some time regardless of what’s connected.

  • claighton89 Claigh Young (@claighton89) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Media Services. We were offered a deal back in July which was all sports, movies and kids channels for around £111. Since then we have had our wifi and box and each time I call about one of these issues you clear the deal from our account. This month billing us £215!!!

  • jgchurchcomms Joe Gallant (@jgchurchcomms) reported from Snodland, England

    @virginmedia No faults, no. Speed is low on both wired and wireless. Was getting 200mb correctly for the first week of my contract back in September, but issues since then.

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia It's the router signal is not strong and stable enough as have had several engineers here and they have said the same so lots of money for poor service :-(

  • ajb_ltd AJB Consultancy Group Ltd (@ajb_ltd) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia our Tivo box is showing menu and sound but no picture. Worked fine for 2 weeks in cooling off period. Also was on hold for 35 minutes today. Please provide solution. Not happy.

  • anna0898 Anna Bellwood (@anna0898) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia WiFi down all day twice this month! What is going on! This girl needs to work 🤓

  • candylion5 Sam Hicks (@candylion5) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Internet from @virginmedia cut out every day for the last at least 2 weeks. Customer service is abysmal. Bye.

  • 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).

  • realjoerobin Joe ✌🏻 (@realjoerobin) reported

    @virginmedia Hiya, didn’t get a call back in the end - despite repeated promises that it’d be fixed! TV box still not working.

  • crosss216 Matt Wells (@crosss216) reported

    @virginmedia The forums won't tell me why you closed my complaint without getting in contact with me, the why you lied to me about that, and why I have to spent hours on the phone to be passed to wrong departments will it? And why you can't help your old customers?

  • orhansubay ORHAN SUBAY (@orhansubay) reported

    @virginmedia At my complaints, you will see all things. I fed up writing you and trying to reach you. I tried to find a solution but I can't communicate with you. I can share my SMS chat with you, and you can see your capability of handling an issue. Sorry for you.

  • lexicalk R K (@lexicalk) reported

    @virginmedia what's going on with your business broadband service?? There's been no information available on the loss of service, nor can we get through to customer support!

  • crosss216 Matt Wells (@crosss216) reported

    @virginmedia Well I can't while at work....... So where dose that leave me, we it now not going anywhere since you can't do anything..... This is the worse customer service never.

  • oftenfaceless 𝓝ameless (@oftenfaceless) reported

    @virginmedia I contacted virgin last month to cancel or get a better deal. We settled on a better deal but was told I was receiving the new hub 3. It’s been more than a month I’m sure it 5 weeks Monday, I still haven’t received the new hub.

  • realjoerobin Joe ✌🏻 (@realjoerobin) reported

    @virginmedia Nope never rescheduled, didn’t give a reason , they promised that it’d be fixed with 24 hours on two separate occasions - which it wasn’t.

  • playpet1 playpet (@playpet1) reported

    @virginmedia I am using all my tweets to you as evidence of complaint though and today I am ringing customer service and I am refusing to pay, I stopped ringing your customer service because spending 1-3 hours trying to sort out a virgin issue is disgusting, your staff just tell lies

  • DumbartonMick Mick Dumbarton (@DumbartonMick) reported

    @virginmedia Whole family have been loyal Virgin Media customers since 2004, and never had an issue with TV, broadband or phones until this.

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported

    @virginmedia Wired connections are pretty much the same, were never able to get through to a human unfortunately (which has been our experience since joining Virgin) We replaced the superhub with a stronger WiFi router due to its terrible performance so can't can't even run self tests 😳
