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

  • Luciddestiny Warren Ryan Philips (@Luciddestiny) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @brooktop68 @virginmedia @bridgetmck We’ve turned the Superhub to Modem Mode and picked up separate WiFi routers. Resolved most of our issues immediately and we rarely get drop outs. Invest in a decent router or Mesh, you won’t regret it.

  • richardscovell 🏳️‍🌈 #SociallyDistancingRick 🏳️‍🌈 (@richardscovell) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    1/4 Customer scam alert: When moving and contacting @virginmedia to transfer your services to your new property, if they cannot provide services there they will apply an early disconnection charge which they will state is in accordance with their Legal Stuff, do not accept this.

  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia This is still appalling customer service. I have to register (I did this when things were down in Dec for almost 72 hours), I have to alert etc you are the service provider. How is it good CS that we assume you are lying in estimates? No compensation for Dec either.

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia @fawizium Impossible to contact anyone through phone, absolutely dreadful service as per usual. How do you sleep at night? £105.75 this month 🤬🤬

  • gismotigga Gis (sarah)🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🤘 (@gismotigga) reported from Hove, England

    @TonyMaudsley1 @virginmedia Because they are crap

  • mejones2121 Michael Jones (@mejones2121) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia no internet or phone line yet again. The worst service from a provider I've ever had. #internet #internetshutdown

  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia Yes it says there is a known fault which has been going on since Friday at 7pm. No further explanation and the estimate fix just keeps resetting. It is absolutely unacceptable.

  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia But why do we have to keep looking for information. Is there no way of updating the customer directly, it is appalling customer communication. What is the problem? Why just keep putting estimates? If it isn't going to be fixed for 48 hours tell us.

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Tried it several times - it says there are no issues. Our phone can’t ring out, constant sound of a message being there (intermittent beep) but nothing happens when trying to use it. People can’t hear us when we answer. Bought brand new phones and still the same.

  • barbados10 chris rose (@barbados10) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia very quick to take £130 per month for services but very slow to fix it when things go wrong let’s check for Sky! #customerservice #unhappycustomer #bringbackRichardBranson

  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    Hi @virginmedia any news on why our broadband and TV haven't worked since 7pm yesterday in Burgess Hill? No comms and status update just says you are aware with an expected fix moving on in time...

  • churchlard Churchlard (@churchlard) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia @52marathonman Now have to wait until 19th July, absolute rubbish, apparently they had no contact details for me, yet had sent me 17 emails and a similar number of texts! Appalling service, so much for being new business!

  • churchlard Churchlard (@churchlard) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia @52marathonman They are useless, had an installation due on Wednesday of this week, they emailed me Wednesday morning to say they couldn’t instal as they had been unable to gain access on Monday. Never did they mention needing access on Monday, and I was home all day and no one rang bell!!

  • GrassHoppus Ellie Cole 🐆 (@GrassHoppus) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia how can you charge a disconnection fee for a service I never renewed and disconnected the day my contract ended? Absolutely ridiculous and I'm still being charged for the contract I never renewed!

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia @KikeKD 150 NOT WORKING FROM ANY PHONE

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia That doesn’t help@if I can’t join the forum is it?? How does anyone get through to someone who CAN do something??

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia no landline for weeks and impossible to report. Sick of your company. Can’t even get through to CANCEL contract £105.75 this month maybe you will get in touch if I cancel next payment 🤬🤬

  • richardscovell 🏳️‍🌈 #SociallyDistancingRick 🏳️‍🌈 (@richardscovell) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    3/4 T&Cs: Moving home outside of or within the Virgin Media Network service area “If you move within our service area, we cannot guarantee to provide you services, if we are unable to provide services, then you can cancel and you will not need to pay an early disconnection fee”

  • mejones2121 Michael Jones (@mejones2121) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia Absolute rubbish. I pay a premium for super fast broadband and it buffers during Streaming plus I've had no internet or phone line all day YET AGAIN. #internet #broadband #poor service

  • MrBrianRoe Brian Roe (@MrBrianRoe) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia your DNS TTL (a web server change time to live) is probably the worst on earth. My new website works everywhere in the world other than on #virginmedia broadband. You absolutely suck, big time. Crock of shite.

  • billeighhh billeigh (@billeighhh) reported

    @virginmedia @hadders4510 Are you? Because I’m in CT8 it’s now 7am the next day and im still unable to use your services. Used the service checker which says there’s no issues in my area but there clearly is. Hasn’t been working since early yesterday

  • Firetruck_125 🇬🇧 Harry (@Firetruck_125) reported

    @dyarikku @virginmedia If you do need switch avoid Sky too Id reckon. I race with Americans and nearly every day, without fail, I get a short drop at around 3am which just so happens to be smack bang in the middle of said races with Americans

  • jonathansds Jonathan Santos (@jonathansds) reported

    @virginmedia put yourself together and fix up your mess! A LOT OF PEOPLE TRYING TO CONNECT WITH THEIR FAMILY ABROAD!! It's CHRISTMAS FFS! 🤬🤬 I'm 100% swapping to @eir @vodafone or any other! Any suggestions on my new broadband provider? 😒

  • elliek_eats 🎄 Ellie Krampus 🎄 (@elliek_eats) reported

    Anyone had connection issues with their PlayStation after getting the Virgin Hub 5? Wifi speeds are a joke on both my PS4 and PC ever since it was installed. What’s going on @virginmedia?

  • leni_lava L L (@leni_lava) reported

    Virgin media - has worked well - for most of the pandemic - but there was a problem recently

  • Semidevious M&A 🇺🇸🇬🇧 (@Semidevious) reported

    @shannon_snell @virginmedia My @virginmedia email has been unavailable for 2 days, asking me to enter a password, are you telling me I have to now reset my password to retrieve my mail? Why can’t you just post a statement saying you’re having problems??

  • CaryAWright Cary Wright (@CaryAWright) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia not had internet, for 24 hours. I spoke to customer services at 18:00 who “guaranteed it would be fixed by 21:25” I checked this 3 times as, at that point, I could arrange alternatives to finish work for Xmas. Now I can’t and still have no internet. Appalling!

  • diagonalline Thomas Kemp (@diagonalline) reported

    @virginmedia the internet is still down in Merton Park even though the status now says it’s fixed. Any ETA on it being sorted…

  • 5h4kil شكيل (@5h4kil) reported

    @virginmedia I left you guys after decades. Your support fell apart when the call centre abroad lied and seemed to enjoy dishing out 3rd rate service. Thankfully BT does a way better job👍🏻

  • Hepps_Laura LauraHaythornthwaite (@Hepps_Laura) reported

    Imagine your @virginmedia engineer parks up outside your house then decides to drive off without coming to your door. Then having to pay the price by being without service for an entire week over Xmas. Promises the manager will call back yet still waiting after 2 days. Thanks NOT
