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

  • TicTac1985 Suzanne D Edwards (@TicTac1985) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia this awful service is part of the reason I'm leaving. Over an hour of trying to get told lines are busy, no queue or anything just call back later

  • carolinerob36 Caroline roberts (@carolinerob36) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @rabbiton @virginmedia We had such trouble with them too. 3 times we were let down. One chap claimed he couldn’t climb up a ladder for H&S reasons but knew a chap who would for an extra £50. We had to complain multiple times. Hope they offer you some compensation.

  • Ant_RTW Ant (@Ant_RTW) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @EE @nick_pope You are penalised for loyalty. Service providers will always try everything to keep you, but it will often be once you’ve made the decision to move. I had no less than. 5 calls from @virginmedia when I cancelled my contract. That. Ship. Sailed!

  • jgchurchcomms Joe Gallant (@jgchurchcomms) reported from Snodland, England

    @virginmedia No faults, no. Speed is low on both wired and wireless. Was getting 200mb correctly for the first week of my contract back in September, but issues since then.

  • alancollinspdb Alan Collins Rosell 🔶️🎗 (@alancollinspdb) reported from Gillingham, England

    It's 11:45. Having been awake until about 6 or so this morning for the election count, my alarm was set for 8 so I could be up in time for the @virginmedia engineer to fix my broadband. They'd be here between 8 and 12 they said. Clock's ticking...

  • Dank1382 Daniel W Keenan (@Dank1382) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia The person I spoke with was very arrogant on the phone and was reading off a script. No help just said there was no record. We have problems with our internet daily and I try to work from home but I always end up in a local coffee shop using their internet that is #btinternet

  • kentgirlie Elise John 🍊 (@kentgirlie) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria @cyclingbetting What a useless response! It’s clearly across the country, your website is down so can’t check faults and no internet is down as well!

  • alancollinspdb Alan Collins Rosell 🔶️🎗 (@alancollinspdb) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Your customer service is a joke! I've been on the phone over an hour and spoken to 9 different people to be lied to and told the engineer tried knocking and calling my mobile this morning (I've been home all morning but had no one at the door and no missed calls).

  • kentgirlie Elise John 🍊 (@kentgirlie) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia Look at the thread, it’s not me that’s not receiving your service!

  • claighton89 Claigh Young (@claighton89) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Media Services. We were offered a deal back in July which was all sports, movies and kids channels for around £111. Since then we have had our wifi and box and each time I call about one of these issues you clear the deal from our account. This month billing us £215!!!

  • claighton89 Claigh Young (@claighton89) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Each month I've had to make subsequent phone calls to have you rectify the bill. I called 2 or 3 times before this bill came out and was assured that it would not happen again. And as expected it has. Absolutely disgusting service!

  • Dank1382 Daniel W Keenan (@Dank1382) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia sort out your call centres! I was told I would get credit due to the problems I’ve been having with the internet. But now I’m told that won’t be happening! #virgininternetdown #allthetime #sortitout

  • neilmead Neil Mead (@neilmead) reported from Gillingham, England

    Awful customer service from @virginmedia As a long-standing customer I only called to see if there were any offers available, but of course these are only for new customers and told I have best deal already. I doubt that. Same old story. #disappointed

  • kentgirlie Elise John 🍊 (@kentgirlie) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia I can’t as the internet is down and I’m not using my data because of @virginmedia have failed to deliver the service I pay a lot of money each month for!

  • RachelDav81 Rachel (@RachelDav81) reported from Sittingbourne, England

    @dannyowen54 @virginmedia They have the worst customer service

  • john_groves1308 john groves (@john_groves1308) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia are trying to bill me for a service i have never had and try to blame me for not telling them!

  • Kelly_QPR Kelly 🐰 (@Kelly_QPR) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia We were told we would get a call back within 72 hrs on Sat morn but no call. Every time we call we spend 90 mins on hold. We are new customers & have numerous problems. Now considering cancelling due to appalling customer service. Please can someone contact me.

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia are you going to follow sky and cancel our sky sports subscription

  • jgchurchcomms Joe Gallant (@jgchurchcomms) reported from Snodland, England

    @virginmedia 200mb package, as I said. No devices that are actively causing the issue - it’s been happening for some time regardless of what’s connected.

  • LiamWren liammwren (@LiamWren) reported from Rochester, England

    Wait all day for the 16:30 kick off. Don't watch anything and pay £70/month for this. Sat on the phone for half an hour trying to speak to someone. Shocking. If you can't deliver what you promise then cancel my subscription. 👊 @Virgin @virginmedia

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • rwtwm waine james (@rwtwm) reported

    @virginmedia No issue with the television. The chromecast and other HDMI devices work fine. The TiVo box appears on, but is providing just a blank screen. It seems to respond to the remote, but no output. Switched HDMI and TV port.

  • pterjan Pascal Terjan (@pterjan) reported

    @virginmedia Yes but your help says to use 192.168.0.1 when in modem mode as you can see on the image

  • cswilkinson13 chris wilkinson (@cswilkinson13) reported

    @virginmedia Shame you can’t keep everyone connected, I’ll be cancelling mine as I’m sick to death of losing connection on my broadband, wouldn’t mind once but when it’s nearly everyday, love taking our money but can’t provide the service you promise, what a laughing stock of a company!!!

  • _marcusduncan marcus (@_marcusduncan) reported

    @virginmedia your wifi is absolutely shambolic !! nearly as bad as your customer service 🥴

  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported

    @virginmedia I did call but not much joy. There cant be that much difference in price between movies and sky sports but the increase was awful. I cant wait for my contract to end because then I will definitely be going to @SkyUK

  • BGavlar BgGavlar (@BGavlar) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply guys. Sadly the issue keeps coming and going. The screen freezes then I get two green lights on the front on the router. One of these then flashes before I get red lights on the front of my TiVo box.

  • rosswilliams01s crw (@rosswilliams01s) reported

    What a shambles of a company @virginmedia are. I left them in january this year as their prices kept creeping up. I have been getting bills ever since and have made numerous phone calls to their customer services who on speaking to them say i actually dont owe any money

  • Urvesh__Patel Urvesh Patel (@Urvesh__Patel) reported

    @virginmedia now on 7th day of no internet in the IG6 area. Everyday you say it will be sorted. Not ideal when most people are working from home!!!! You do not even keep us up to date on the issue. Disappointed and will be moving to BT!!

  • cnksgotti c1 (@cnksgotti) reported

    @virginmedia hello 5 days in a row with issues and no feedback or help and u expect me to pay my bill

  • rosswilliams01s crw (@rosswilliams01s) reported

    And it is a mistake on their end. They keep saying a manager will phone me back to sort out. This has never happened. This week i received a letter from a debt collection company saying i now owe over £200 in unpaid bills. Phoned @virginmedia again yesterday
