Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Lancing, England

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

  • 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.

  • Furzeboy Mark Chambers (@Furzeboy) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia phoned you 3 weeks ago about a phone line on my hub, was told I’d get a call back within 72hrs and still waiting. Poor customer service.

  • 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!

  • MissClarePear Clare Pear (@MissClarePear) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia I know about that but feel the issues are always happening and i just want to watch tv without having to reboot and check statue all the time. Just feel it's a bad service when I'm paying for full package with you. Thank you for looking into this for me. 😁

  • MissClarePear Clare Pear (@MissClarePear) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Area 20 worthing problems all the time.

  • 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

  • Less_worry More time Less worry (@Less_worry) reported from Worthing, England

    It’s so disappointing that #Loyalty counts for nothing! You only get a good deal if you are a new customer! Thanks @virginmedia for nothing!

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • AshJHow91 Ashley Howard (@AshJHow91) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia hurry up. No matter how many times you play the same song, over and over again. I Ashley will not hang up!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • steveleppard stephen leppard (@steveleppard) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia are doing improvements in the area so my tv and broadband are down all day. Nice to be told. Working from home and can’t do a thing now. Wasted day. #Complaint

  • 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

  • Furzeboy Mark Chambers (@Furzeboy) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia and you would get back to me (VM) After a couple of months I spoke to a young man in customer service who said it was something you offered and as I had issues with my landline he would get someone to call me about it ASAP this could take 72hrs &still waiting

  • 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'

    @virginmedia Is a DISGRACE to uk broadband standards I sure ain’t renewing my payments after this **** show

  • Steve_M_Prior Steve Prior (@Steve_M_Prior) reported from Manadon, England

    @virginmedia any update to internet at PL4 area? Still down.

  • gosportballer Grant_47 (@gosportballer) reported

    @scazz786 @virginmedia Surely you know that no broadband service is going to be 100% reliable all of the time right? *******, if I needed the emergency services I'd be praying it's not you coming to assist especiallly if we had high winds or virgin enginneers working in your area

  • JessSayHi_ Jerse~ (@JessSayHi_) reported

    @virginmedia we pay £70 a month for your service, this is a joke lol. I wasn't able to work today and could have lost wage cuz of this.

  • NotsohRialMP Sir Notsoh Rial (@NotsohRialMP) reported

    @virginmedia You've just cost me over £430 in lost productivity. I don't know how exactly you can justify the problems that VM is having against companies and individuals that are losing money. This is costing peoples' finances.

  • shep1981 . (@shep1981) reported

    @virginmedia Mines still down useless

  • YaBoyMonkz TTV YaBoyMonkz (@YaBoyMonkz) reported

    @JasonWadd @macavanagh @virginmedia WhatsApp is the best place to get their customer service from virgin media, they answer straight away there to me. Give it a try.

  • abyaradia A (@abyaradia) reported

    @virginmedia The cheek of raising the prices when the service keeps getting worse.

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported

    @virginmedia I’m so glad I only have to put up with this for another couple of days, although my service should be operating for another three weeks, you’ve been harassing me for the return of the router. You’re an absolute joke.

  • d_feher1 d (@d_feher1) reported

    @virginmedia Should we start a petition? Asking for a regulation from the parliament enabling customers to terminate contacts with ISPs easily? Like an automatic reduction of the minimum contract term based on service quality.
