Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Orpington, England

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

  • damawa42 Daniel W (@damawa42) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia But your SMS team either a) never respond or b) refuse to help me specifically because they say there are outstanding issues. So, through a combination of a) and b), you never look at my issue. Because there's either always a wider issue, OR you ignore me. Utterly unhelpful.

  • StephenHance1 Stephen Hance (@StephenHance1) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia we have been waiting for an engineer to fix broadband all week. Texted you, used online chat, no replies. Please get in touch.

  • willjennings80 WILL JÆNNINGS-13 (@willjennings80) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Also, yesterday you told us that there had been service issues in our postcode since beginning of April. You forgot to mention this when selling a contract to us with allegedly faster speeds, which apparently can't exist.

  • willjennings80 WILL JÆNNINGS-13 (@willjennings80) reported from Lambeth, England

    Hi @virginmedia. You were meant to phone us at 8am today. Just like your service guy was supposed to turn up 12-4 yesterday, but instead turned up at 7, hadn't been told what the issue was, got aggressive & drove off. You are appalling.

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    Another afternoon on to @virginmedia with absolutely no body willing to help. The customer service is as appalling as the service they provide. The sooner I can get back to @skytv the better #virginbroadband #virginmedia #con #ripoff

  • LyndaLy68271095 Lynda Lynch (@LyndaLy68271095) reported from Stone, England

    @virginmedia This was the message at 3.30 I will not be at my desk in a few minutes, do not worry I will pick this up once I am back at my desk, appreciate your patience. At 7.30 say wow long break. And you reply with the standard due to c19 blah blah then back to square one stupid questions

  • willjennings80 WILL JÆNNINGS-13 (@willjennings80) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia My partner did. Two hours later after the auto response still nothing. Evidently different sections of your company do not talk to each other, your system is broken, and for the amount we spend on broadband it's frankly unacceptable.

  • lukebaileyphoto Luke Bailey (@lukebaileyphoto) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Persistent network issues continue to hinder the ability to work from home. I endeavoured to check the service page but it itself would not load so I’m guessing there’s an issue somewhere. Issues include long dropouts and high response times. #networkengineer

  • gareth_keen_80 Gareth Keen (@gareth_keen_80) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia @grimegran Would be great if your service could stay connected, drops out numerous times every day

  • willjennings80 WILL JÆNNINGS-13 (@willjennings80) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia If anyone is there, your Kafkaesque hellhole of a website is like the labyrinth in The Shining. It just sending a user back to sign in, even though we are, and that's after thirty minutes trying to change the password. You are abysmal.

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    @financialombuds can I get out of my @virginmedia contract with no costs due to their complete failure to provide the service I pay for and refuse to deal with my issues

  • LyndaLy68271095 Lynda Lynch (@LyndaLy68271095) reported from Stone, England

    @pm1972 @virginmedia I feel your pain so far I’ve waited 3 days just to reset a password to read my mobile bill which I’m being charged for and not having any signal to text or call.😡🤬🤯

  • willjennings80 WILL JÆNNINGS-13 (@willjennings80) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia We are still waiting for the customer service call that was coming at 8am.

  • pussinpjs1 linda holmes (@pussinpjs1) reported from London, England

    No access to the Internet @virginmedia anyone else having problems

  • maffff Matheus na Casa (@maffff) reported from Lambeth, England

    @ayyreus @JayyyLFC_ @AllOutTHFC Virgin media just gone down for me...

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    I am getting the serious **** with @virginmedia absolutely appalling service!!!

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    All ******* weekend on to @virginmedia about their shit service and absolutely nothing

  • willjennings80 WILL JÆNNINGS-13 (@willjennings80) reported from Lambeth, England

    @robertgilbert86 @virginmedia Hm, ok. Today has been a nightmare. Bf listening to hold music for an hour, lied to about when a technician was coming, then he was aggressive and both he & customer services then seemed to be gaslighting.

  • richardjportman Richard Portman (@richardjportman) reported from Eltham, England

    Damn it. My @virginmedia broadband connection has seemingly been put on furlough. (Difference being, I’m paying 100% for it).

  • walshChanny Channy (@walshChanny) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia after changing to the cheapest package I received the biggest bill ever for international calls. Trying to resolve the problem is impossible. Please explain how to do it!

  • BoxmadPlant Canvasmadness 🌐 (@BoxmadPlant) reported

    @virginmedia Dropouts overall bad connection on games. Awful even with ethernet cables and with WiFi pretty much pointless trying to go online and game

  • SYN3RGYYT SYN3RGY (@SYN3RGYYT) reported

    @virginmedia You literally need to get someone to call me now and fix this for me, I don’t want to have to wait in a massive que continuously when it’s affecting my work

  • bobcampbell76 Bob (@bobcampbell76) reported

    @virginmedia Hello. Guess what, the problem still isn't resolved. 6 different engineers have visited and I still have a broadband fault, tv services don't work, and no phone line. How do I get through to a human being?

  • riahleex Mariah (@riahleex) reported

    @virginmedia can you please arrange someone to contact me regarding a complaint I have been trying to resolve the issue since 5/02! I have been promised endless call backs to which have not been completed and have been given a complaint reference

  • MurphyandToby Toby (@MurphyandToby) reported

    @virginmedia It's all working now thank you but no engineers. The tv and internet have gone off on 3 occasions since February. It involves our neighbours too so not and equipment issue

  • QunsolS S Qunsol (@QunsolS) reported

    @virginmedia I have I wrote in my previous message that I have done a factory reset twice alresdybtoday. Is there anyway I can speak to someone please? This issue is completely out of hand and some kind of issue happens once a week with you. I need to work

  • IanVousden Ian Vousden (@IanVousden) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for coming back. Having been a loyal customer for over 10 years it’s just a shame that I am bring penalised when it’s not my fault those services aren’t being provided at the new address - if they had been I would have happily stayed with @virginmedia

  • ShaferIt Shafer It Rahman (@ShaferIt) reported

    @virginmedia Will do got a complaint email reference so will refer to that, but should be sorted..

  • m_phillips89 Mike Phillips (@m_phillips89) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely atrocious! No internet in the BH8 area since at least 8pm on Tuesday evening. Checked your website at the time which displayed there were know issues and engineers were dealing with it...

  • achitchen Adam Hitchen (@achitchen) reported

    @virginmedia hi, been dealing with internet dropout for the whole afternoon now and really need to get some work done! Your status checker thinks everything is fine and the hub isn’t showing any unusual lights but we keep seeing dropout. Is there an outage on your end?
