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

  • Genji_bow Leon Valentine (@Genji_bow) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I’m loosing connection and having issues ie dns issues....I have restarted all of my equipment. Isn’t there preventative actions you can do to stop ddos issues to other customers

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

    @virginmedia It’s broadband and tv. All I can do is watch recorded shows. Can’t even get bbc itv etc. All I’m told is there’s a complex problem in the area but other people I know seem to have problems with either the tv or internet and nowhere as bad as ours. Extremely frustrating

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

    Just realised my direct debit goes out today. But your department that deals with taking payments hasn’t been down for the last 4 days. Funny that 😬 @virginmedia

  • 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.

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

    I feel like all I do is ring big companies up constantly to be fobbed off about their terrible service & amounts of money they’re taking off me for that service. It’s a joke. @virginmedia and @SSE Im talking about you.Joke both of you 😡. #pissedoff #anotherdaywithnotvorinternet

  • zimoza90 Tony Woodley (@zimoza90) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia No. No response to the online chat or text. Literally nothing, zero, silence. Call volume is no excuse for over 24hrs of no response from a paid for service provider. #CustomerService

  • peel_acres Mark (@peel_acres) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yeah, it's a known issue and you are working on it but Cricket World Cup Final, British Grand Prix, Wimbledon Men's Singles Final, Tour de France! Aaaargh!

  • Mamafish_TW Patricia 💜 (@Mamafish_TW) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately the first member of staff disconnected our call then the second member was fairly rude so I think it’s time for me to move on and get better service and something I can afford, I’ve been trying for the past year to get a better deal but never got more than this.

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

    @virginmedia Done all of this, nothing works, the check my status is useless as it says there’s no broadband issues but when I ring up I’m told there is.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • RelentlesssTV ЯTV (@RelentlesssTV) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @rachhgoeslive @virginmedia That's a shame :( & yh i have sams issues. I wanna talk to someone else to lol

  • dan_garrett1 Dan Garrett (@dan_garrett1) reported from Hove, England

    266 excruciating minutes of my life (nine phone calls!) I will never get back trying to get a complaint response out of @virginmedia A customer of over 20 years treated terribly. Let’s hope @bt_uk are better. #misselling #poorcustomerservice @lutzschuler @libertyglobal @ofcom

  • 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

  • Mamafish_TW Patricia 💜 (@Mamafish_TW) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia absolutely shocking that as a customer since 2012 out of contract since 2014 decided to tackle the £130+ a month bill only to be told we can knock off £10 but increase your broadband is the only offer you can make to keep me with you. Time to move on

  • pwvoiceovers Patrick Woodward (@pwvoiceovers) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia bb seems to be back now! Hopefully just a glitch. Service status website still down tho. Says 'oops, something's wrong'

  • dan_garrett1 Dan Garrett (@dan_garrett1) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia @MoneyTelegraph Furious right now. 12 different failings by virgin media. Call centre refusal to escalate my complaint. Hung up on twice. No human compassion. Just keep quoting from their script. Completely unacceptable. #poorcustomerservice

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

    Well done @virginmedia, everything down again and I’m told 24-48 hours until it’s fixed. On the opening weekend of the new premier league season. Magic 🙄😤

  • 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

    @virginmedia Yes I am, that’s the problem.

  • KieronSeth Kieron Seth (@KieronSeth) reported

    @virginmedia How do we know you received the complaint? We've had no acknowledgment.

  • MikeLewey Mike Lewey 💙 (@MikeLewey) reported

    @virginmedia …@virginmedia quite frankly I don’t feel as though you (as an organisation) care. Please prove me wrong (see complaint FOR001924742) and please call me.

  • RyanLeeEditor Ryan Lee (@RyanLeeEditor) reported

    @virginmedia Fingers crossed SL - just have to hope the same cancellation process doesn't happen again. I had raised a complaint (misinformation about network and engineer cancelled), but it was instantly closed with a resolution agreed, to 'apologise to customer'...

  • Ellisj_69 Eliyahu (@Ellisj_69) reported

    @O2 since u and virgin media started bumming each other my mobile data is just as bad as the @virginmedia wifi we pay for

  • dustingknuckles NLC (@dustingknuckles) reported

    @virginmedia Please provide me with the direct contact details for making a formal complaint.

  • BainesKaren karen baines (@BainesKaren) reported

    @virginmedia It doesn't fit the cable I have, there were no cables included in the box or remote control, do I continue waiting or ring again and who do I ask for to cut down waiting time. Thanks

  • ironted1 Andy Myall (@ironted1) reported

    @virginmedia I have been a happy customer using your services for a number of years now, but I have just found that you are advertising on GB News, which is already promoting an anti-vaccine message. Please stop funding this abhorrent channel

  • ELRageEntity EL Rage Entity (@ELRageEntity) reported

    @virginmedia Missing internet for around 4 hours yesterday, today and earlier in the week. In the middle of the work day isn’t acceptable. What is the cause of the issue? Why is it reoccurring so often? I know there’s an issue and you’re going to fix it. But the question is Why?

  • JamesWa70684113 James Walker (@JamesWa70684113) reported

    @virginmedia No TV service now and have to wait 24 hours for another engineer to come tomorrow!? I wish we’d never bothered to upgrade
