Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Lancing, England

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

  • VictoriaNangle Vicky Nangle (@VictoriaNangle) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia After over 3 hours and on my 3rd agent I managed to report it. The call was a scam, saying that my wifi was too slow and trying to get to my laptop. When I twigged and refused they became abusive and threatened physical abuse.

  • CharlesB2T Charles Brittain (@CharlesB2T) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia We are happy, now that we're back online, but it was thanks to the two charming and communicative engineers working away in Burgess Hill that saved the day; not just because they'd fixed the issue, but they'd also told me what was going on.

  • CharlesB2T Charles Brittain (@CharlesB2T) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia I am bitterly disappointed that you have only been able to provide a broadband service for a week and now there's nothing. My work relies on fast reliable broadband. If this doesn't get fixed this Monday, I'll be seeking another provider.

  • RGNJonathan Jonathan O'Keeffe (@RGNJonathan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia How could it be a connection issue? It is fibre optic WiFi? Also the internet has been horrid the last couple of months just haven’t had time to call both my partner and I are front line so never off in the week

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

    @virginmedia It was a call and it wasn’t easy to hear what they were saying. Something about having detected that my internet was slow when doing online banking. It sounded very much like the “We are from BT open reach” scam so I said I would call them back.

  • Bradley16535324 BradleyGeorge2001 (@Bradley16535324) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia RIGHT SERIOUSLY YOU NEED TO SORT OUT YOU INTERNET THAT YOUR PROVIDING BECAUSE IT IS AN ABSOLUTE EMBARRASSMENT, it is a waste of money paying for this appalling service we are receiving you don’t Evan deserve a half star review. SORT IT OUT AND SORT IT OUT NOW!!!!

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

    @virginmedia Just back up after 4 hours down...

  • TwistieTalk Steve Twist (@TwistieTalk) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia What's the best time to contact your Customer Service team?

  • CarolePaton Carole Paton (@CarolePaton) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I eventually got a human to speak to after a very dodgy response to my tweets asking for all my bank details. Issue sorted.

  • JumpstartUK JUMPSTART (@JumpstartUK) reported from Sompting, England

    9am on Thursday morning. Day one of second lockdown. Virgin Media is down. #virginmedia @virginmedia get it sorted. I’m in Worthing.

  • RGNJonathan Jonathan O'Keeffe (@RGNJonathan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Don’t have an Ethernet cables. My phone actually uses 5G if signal is weak so it was likely my data not WiFi

  • schstsc1 @megyesischwartz (@schstsc1) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia 45 minutes to get through to a person. Told them I wanted to leave. They put me on hold and cut me off! Goodbye Virgin - Hello Sky (the @skytv package is £70 cheaper). @virginmedia customer service is a disgrace

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

    Just experienced #unethical behaviour from @virginmedia #coercing a customer, accept £20 and close a complaint or you can take it further and not accept the £20. Failure to be transparent and communicate effectively across all departments about charges #poorcustomerservice

  • DrSTun STun (@DrSTun) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia please help. Saying the password to login to my WiFi is incorrect. But it's not. Please help.

  • NicholaHarcourt Niki hardcore (@NicholaHarcourt) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia absolutely disgusted with the service

  • VictoriaNangle Vicky Nangle (@VictoriaNangle) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to message with your help section for 3 hours now - had 2 agents introduce themselves then disappear. All I want to do is let them know the details of someone pretending to be Virgin who tried to scam me then threatened me this morning. Not good.

  • abcomuk ABCOM - IT Solutions (@abcomuk) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia 40 minutes on the phone to tech support and still no one is answering... where is the uk broadband help desk please?

  • flowersxxx Tracy S (@flowersxxx) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia no internet I'm in the bn3 area any help please.?

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

    @virginmedia hi, an engineer called out of the blue and claimed to be from Virgin Media working on my broadband. How can I tell if it’s not a scam? And if it’s not, how do I reach him? He gave the general customer service number

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

    Hello @virginmedia WiFi down in BN1. Send help. Don’t know if you’ve noticed but we’ve been asked to WFH. Current stays: unable to.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MagicSteve28 Steven Williams (@MagicSteve28) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Hi, I need to cancel a new order but can’t get through by phone are you able to help?

  • LordMole Gary (@LordMole) reported

    @virginmedia If you read the messages above, surely@you realise that I have been trying to do this. Perhaps rather than throw responsibility back at me, virgin could take ownership of the problem their service and be proactive?

  • Lindsham1 Linda Hamilton (@Lindsham1) reported from Whitecross, Scotland

    Got Premier Sports for todays game through Virgin Media at £9.99 with the option to cancel after 30 days. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

  • judelloo Jude Cov 💙 (@judelloo) reported

    @virginmedia is there an easy way to contact you? Online help goes in circles. I was on call with you for 50mins re this & was cut off. We signed up to receive a new television gift with ultimate oomph & so far the tv hasn’t arrived & no news of when to expect it. Frustrated.

  • specialarks Raul (@specialarks) reported

    @virginmedia Already done. What is the SLA agreement to fix issues? When I buy a utility device I don’t expect it to stop working, eg water, gas, electricity. The website help is a runaround for customers. How can I specifically speak to the manager response for the engineers in my area?

  • Millseypops Millseypops (@Millseypops) reported

    @virginmedia Right... but to go from £38pm to £64pm but immediately then down to £36 seems to be a contradiction

  • annemariep1 anne marie morel (@annemariep1) reported

    @virginmedia how exactly can I cancel our account. No one answers the phone when you call the homemovers department, the website chat is constantly busy. Cancelling the direct debit has just resulted in a text message telling me to call homemovers department!

  • rosijones Rose🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@rosijones) reported

    @virginmedia But I've already posted publicly on here! This post has been ongoing for 6 days. The whole issue is that everytime I try to phone I cannot get through to a human! It's always automated or over an hour waiting. I'll just out another formal complaint in and ask for a refund.

  • LordMole Gary (@LordMole) reported

    @virginmedia Why did you ask me what the problem is if you are unable to help in any way shape or form. If you are there for PR then tell me that before I waste my time yet again explaining the problem

  • LordMole Gary (@LordMole) reported

    @virginmedia Why do I have to engage with the myriad of communication lines. You take responsibility and find a solution and come back to me.
