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

  • vickyleech75 Vicky Leech (@vickyleech75) reported from Littlehampton, England

    @virginmedia Could not offer services at new address so contract cancelled-now telling me I owe £200 & will send bailiffs round-despite murmurous phone calls to get this sorted & raising an urgent complaint 6 wks ago. Have taken advice from @Ofcom and @CISASUK Utter disgrace.

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia family recently got your services and are having a sound issue which looking online is a problem that’s been around a while but I can find if you ever published a resolution - sound on V6 box cuts out intermittently for a moment in Dolby Ditial Audio programs

  • clareypoos Clare Taylor (@clareypoos) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia Your site is an absolute joke. I spent over 90 mins this morning trying to speak with someone but was passed about, I only want to change my package as the service you provide is not worth the £72 I'm paying! Now you've just told me the servers are down! #cross

  • 619Ballard Sam Ballard (@619Ballard) reported from Littlehampton, England

    @bobster76 @virginmedia Maybe their WiFi is down 😂😂

  • clairewoods93 Claire Lock (@clairewoods93) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia The £5 was given as a result of my complaint. I don’t know why you kept harping on about intermittent service. I had NO SERVICE WHATSOEVER FOR 1 WHOLE WEEK!! Nothing, not a bean, no tv, no internet, so please stop saying intermittent service!!

  • planetf1 Nigel Jones (@planetf1) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Though the annoying aircraft was that before Xmas we did a test which failed so got offered appt bit had to skip as away over Xmas. Back and still down (power light flashing green even after reset) and hub3 UI stats show no sync but test all ok

  • panda_creative Panda Creative Ltd (@panda_creative) reported from Sompting, England

    @Paul_667 @virginmedia Nope, not had that problem mate, the only problem is getting this phone line moved over, for such an easy task they do seem to be making it very VERY complicated.

  • planetf1 Nigel Jones (@planetf1) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia So knows need to call just odd behaviour and was hoping you get appt sorted yesterday. What did the broadband test actually mean if ok. Implies your network kit can access router which seems unlikely

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia Hi - issue hasn’t resolved from reboot (didn’t appear to be an update). Also seeing very intermediate problems where programs freeze momentarily/blur (almost like on satellite when the weather gets in the way / when the hard drive was struggling to playback files)

  • mike_the_frog Mike Coombes (@mike_the_frog) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just been kept on hold for 40 minutes before finally speaking to a very rude and brusque operative who spent 5 minutes asking me to check the cables I’d already checked (I’m not stupid) before hanging up on me. Problem still not resolved. Appalling.

  • CrossMediaNet Allan Cross (@CrossMediaNet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia It’s day six without service. I have been speaking to your call centres who simply tell me what they see on their screens. These are the same messages that I’m getting via text. When I call 150 each day I get the same message saying normal service should resume by 4pm.

  • priyadeshingkar Prof Priya Deshingkar (@priyadeshingkar) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Broadband has been v slow for days and seems to be completely down today.

  • EL_FLOREZ_ END OF LEVEL BOSS (@EL_FLOREZ_) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I don’t have the number as it was withheld. But it was to our landline that no one has! Offshore from a busy call centre in India I think. Claimed to be looking after the lines and said our router had multiple errors (it has been slow recently) so sounded legit...

  • katestar Katie ⚔️ (@katestar) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia I've tried rebooting it several times, and checked the cables are all secure although noone has been home all day so they've not been touched and it was working before I left but not working when we got home at 4.30pm

  • clairewoods93 Claire Lock (@clairewoods93) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia And yes I rang on the fri pm as soon as it went down. I rang consistently the whole week

  • macfarlane1 Paul Macfarlane (@macfarlane1) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia what the hell is happening to your service been told by your customer service broadband and tv down at the moment yes a neighbour 2 doors down on the same street has all there service WHY LYING TO ME Even checked service status and reports no known issues

  • clairewoods93 Claire Lock (@clairewoods93) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia It just came off my bill but I rang and expressed that it should have been more and they would look into it but I’ve not had a response. You’re going to fob me off with intermittent service but perhaps you should have sent someone round to check but then you’d have to pay out l!

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @theTunnelBear is there an issue using your service on @virginmedia - first time using their internet and I can’t access your website and my bear won’t activate (HTTPS error is thrown rather than a direct blocking notification) think @ThreeUK are also blocking your website

  • mike_the_frog Mike Coombes (@mike_the_frog) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia He said that the box needed replacing but didn’t have time to do it. My TV is unwatchable and your customer service is shoddy.

  • clairewoods93 Claire Lock (@clairewoods93) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia I’ve raised 2 complaints and had £5 as a goodwill gesture which is quite frankly insulting. The ofcom regulations states £8 per day for every working day after 48 hours of no service. By my calculations I should of had £24 off my bill. Fri to tues is 48 working hrs then tues-fri

    @cerealism66 @virginmedia 194.168.4.100 194.168.8.100 theses dns will fix the WiFi issue!

  • jacek32w Pazzo Palo (@jacek32w) reported

    @virginmedia your service is recently terrible. Most of the night there was no internet. It's morning and still no luck. I'm WFH. What should I tell to my manager? "Sorry I'm Virgin media customer"?

  • LewisSt49974096 . (@LewisSt49974096) reported

    @mabrock1980 @virginmedia 194.168.4.100 194.168.8.100 theses dns will fix the WiFi issue!

  • JuhalH Juhal Hamid (@JuhalH) reported

    @virginmedia don't have working Internet, and no, can't even access virgin media site or virgin media app as they are congested. Very poor, the least u could do is release a public statement acknowledging u hav country wide problem with ur services. #virginmediabroadband

  • JohnnyTortoise Becky Hamblin (@JohnnyTortoise) reported

    @virginmedia @anthonyjoshua I mean, what exactly is the logic of sending somebody a link when you've told them your internet is down?! What is the point of saying call back when your office is open but not give the time of the opening? What is wrong with you?

  • Ejmma12 Emma Robinson (@Ejmma12) reported

    Since I joined #virginmedia I’ve had more times without internet and tv then with. Don’t join them. I paid more with sky but never had any issues.. faster internet isn’t worth anything when it’s constantly offline!!!

  • alfayafc3854 Al Fie (@alfayafc3854) reported

    @virginmedia why’s Internet not working
