Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Lancing, England

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

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia No it was the ‘general area fix’ (my engineer was cancelled by Virgin) which was then followed up with an email that said ‘everything is sorted’ which it was, until today when it was in and out again for hours. It’s ok now, but for how long?

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

    So far I’ve had three promised appointments from @virginmedia but sadly three no shows. We’ve had intermittent broadband for about 6 months now and just can’t seem to get the problem fixed.

  • etinton Elliot Tinton (@etinton) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’d just like to cancel now please. Is there someone I can speak to to arrange?

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

    Hey @virginmedia any news on internet outage in #Brighton BN2?

  • wavell_mark Junior (@wavell_mark) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia how come after nearly 3 days is my internet not working?? How do I claim compensation for this??

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia They couldn’t fix it last Saturday… It’s been better today, but still up and down at certain times. Def not fully fixed

  • Angelsirius1 Angel sirius (@Angelsirius1) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Hi, i am having some issues with the youtube app, i spoke to youtube they said to try uninstalling reinstalling the app, something i am unable to do as you provide this. It will just not load a video or whilst a playlist is playing it goes black.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Official complaint I’m afraid. They said ‘I’ll book an engineer’ I said ‘that was booked for tomorrow but you cancelled it’ She gets aggressive and it’s hard to understand what she’s saying and says ‘do you want an engineer or not.’ Sorry but this is truly shocking service.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia BN1 6FN - I’ve done the checks through your app and says no issue?

  • michelle83mj Michelle83mj (@michelle83mj) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia This link doesn't work

  • 5waysRichard Richard Williams (@5waysRichard) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia why would my Virgin internet go down at about 0045 every night ?

  • alternativeage Alternative Ageing (@alternativeage) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia It’s happening way to regularly. I’ve lost a whole days work up to now, do I get compensation? Spent an hour yesterday morning sorting out yet more issues as a result of the outage over the w/e. 🥲

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Called and no issues. It has to be equipment, right? There’s an option to ‘test hub’ on that link but it just goes to an invalid page. I’ve been patient for a few weeks now, but I’m finding it hard to remain so! Trying to work like this is impossible

  • etinton Elliot Tinton (@etinton) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    .@virginmedia so how do I get in touch, speak to someone, get issues resolved?? No response anywhere.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yep it’s still bad. Sometimes ok, a lot of the time not. Can someone look into it for me please.

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

    @virginmedia Andy has now told me that the work was never rescheduled for today. This really isn’t very good.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Engineer Thursday. Not good enough really, had an engineer Saturday, problem still here if not worse, and being told to WFH due to heat. Cannot not be speeded up?

  • palewis1 Phil (@palewis1) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia what a useless company after waiting a week from doing as was asked of you on reporting my fathers death I receive a letter telling me I done it wrong. I’m afraid I lost it on the phone today and when all is sorted we will be leaving you. Great bereavement service.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia So… are you saying work is being carried out today. Wait until tomorrow and then if still bad book an engineer? I can live with that. But the person I spoke to had no idea about that and just booked an engineer again. Can I ask have other people raised area issues?

  • brighton_gay Christian 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇦 🖖🏼 (@brighton_gay) reported from Sompting, England

    @FuriousCoops It’s a major BT Open Reach outage which many non-Virgin Media companies piggyback their connectivity through.

    @virginmedia Mine is still down… I work from home so this is a big issue. When will this be fixed as I am unable to work and therefore not being paid.

  • mattline79 Matt Line-Hayward (@mattline79) reported

    @virginmedia Bad form to change your helpline number today to stop calls coming through. Why not put a message when people dial in just to let them know, instead I have to search my local Facebook group for info.

  • beginvestor CryptoBigD (@beginvestor) reported

    @Paul35255198 @virginmedia Same in my area. Absolute garbage

  • shaunwoodward07 Shaun Woodward (@shaunwoodward07) reported
