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

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 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.

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  • RWheelhouse1 rachel Wheelhouse 🇺🇦 (@RWheelhouse1) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

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

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing

  • 1CreativeRay Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 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

  • RERomain Rachel Romain (@RERomain) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Hey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Virgin Media broadband down AGAIN. Service Status website & app don’t work as no internet connection 🤨 @virginmedia

  • J4Y_DEE Justin 🇺🇦 (@J4Y_DEE) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Broadband down in my area, this is frustrating. Reckon it’ll be fixed by 9. No tv & Broadband during the school holidays

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia been struggling for days with home WiFi. Tried to contact you guys but cant find a number Please help

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  • nigelrumsey Nigel Rumsey (@nigelrumsey) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

  • haaa_shi HK (@haaa_shi) reported

    Now I fully understand by I was being told to avoid joining @virginmedia after a hour on the phone, 3 engineer visits and almost 2 weeks of being with them my issue isn’t resolved and they hung up the phone on me. I guess that me leaving. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

  • Haggiscomfeijao Carol C (@Haggiscomfeijao) reported

    @virginmedia Your instructions + the box help options seems to have done it! Am waiting for the info to load. Thanks so much for the prompt support 🙏

  • slideaway2002 slide away (@slideaway2002) reported

    @virginmedia Also why did I pay to upgrade the internet speed? I ended up losing wages in overtime as I couldn't get the work laptop to connect as I work in customer services and need to take calls through the laptop?

  • neale_kirby kirby neale (@neale_kirby) reported

    @virginmedia No. Service status is all clear. Your customer service say that they can’t see anything on their diagnostic test. But I can assure you there’s a issue… by the looks of it a few people seem to be having the same issues. Good luck to them getting sorted.

  • 100Phish Phil Jacks (@100Phish) reported

    @virginmedia are you telling me that the internet is going to be down for 5 days? How is that reasonable?

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    4/4: More channel changes has been confirmed by the "Discovery Bar" on Virgin Media boxes: EPG Service > Was 704 Cartoon Network HD (Cartoon Network SD) 712 Nick HD (Nick SD)

  • michaeljwright4 Mike Wright (@michaeljwright4) reported

    @virginmedia I have now raised a complaint. You have all information to sort this issue out. You should have all on record including notification of when service was down. I'm not willing to wait an hour for a web chat to achieve nothing.

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    1/4: More channel changes has been confirmed by the "Discovery Bar" on Virgin Media boxes: EPG Service > Was *106 E4 HD (E4) *135 Pick (Sky Comedy HD) *136. - 138. Free Slots *139 Challenge (Sky Sci-Fi) *140 Sky Arts (Sky Sci-Fi HD) *143 4Seven HD (4Seven) *147 More4 HD (More4)

  • SamNicol13 Samantha Nicol (@SamNicol13) reported

    @virginmedia I do have the connect app and I will scan each room tomorrow in the house tomorrow when I’m the only one here as god help me if I suggest the tweenager stops watching YouTube 🙈

  • KateyJbro Katherıne Brooks (@KateyJbro) reported

    @virginmedia Suggest you get your disconnection service to call me back then.. I’m putting zero effort in from now. I’ve wasted enough time.
