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

  • itslakeyyy Kieran Lake (@itslakeyyy) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia No issues reported. A reboot of the hub seems to do the trick however it’s an inconvenience doing that 4-5 times a day.

  • corfu1957 Paul Roberts (@corfu1957) reported from Leicestershire, England

    50 mins talking to an engineer who then couldn't connect the new box and now have to have an engineer come out to sort it @virginmedia you need to get your customer service sorted

  • Deborahbham Deborah Davidson 🕷 (@Deborahbham) reported from Leicestershire, England

    1. @richardbranson cannot tell you how incensed I am at the poor service I have had since signing up to @virginmedia - no one can help me sort out getting a good and consistent internet signal across the whole house (which @bt_uk could) - amazed how the new technology is worse.

  • corfu1957 Paul Roberts (@corfu1957) reported from Leicestershire, England

    So now I am on the phone to the help line and the waiting starts and as usual virgin media fail again

  • timmo1963 Tim Moore (@timmo1963) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @BBCWatchdog Is it me or is @virginmedia really poor with customer service!!

  • MonkeyJuggleDX2 アンドルー (@MonkeyJuggleDX2) reported from Loughborough, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We've had technicians out multiple times and it's made no difference. We NEVER had any issues when we had @virginmedia!

  • austenblakemore austen blakemore (@austenblakemore) reported from Stapleford, England

    @BBCWatchdog I’ve had nothing but problems with our Virgin Media wifi

  • jonnyriall Jonathon Riall (@jonnyriall) reported from Shepshed, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply. On both occasions there's apparently been no issues, and none shown again this morning. It's more the fact that even though it happened twice in a week, and having waited on hold for 30min each time, I just get told to call back if it happens again.

  • jonnyriall Jonathon Riall (@jonnyriall) reported from Shepshed, England

    @virginmedia It doesn't feel like paying £50+ a month for no fancy services (basic TV and broadband) this is great customer service.

  • emseditorial Emma-Louise ⚽️🔴⚪ (@emseditorial) reported from Sandiacre, England

    Red button not working on @virginmedia, bloody typical. Can't wait to be rid tbh 🙄 #nffc

  • timmo1963 Tim Moore (@timmo1963) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @BBCWatchdog can you help me with @virginmedia please. 4 faulty boxes in 18 months, overcharged for the package I have, they never answer the phone 🤬🤯

  • nghudson Nigel Hudson (@nghudson) reported from West Bridgford, England

    @virginmedia ...and we’re down again! An issue with broadband somewhere in my area.

  • timmo1963 Tim Moore (@timmo1963) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia a new low, even by your standards, 4th TiVo box in 18 months and this one managed 20 days before breaking down 👏👏👏

  • austenblakemore austen blakemore (@austenblakemore) reported from Stapleford, England

    @virginmedia Without sounding rude I’ve lost interest in anyone from Virgin media helping me, I get absolutely no where every time :-(

  • ashleyYNWA ashley bennett (@ashleyYNWA) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I was told to message my complaint on here

  • timmo1963 Tim Moore (@timmo1963) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia poor, very poor, in fact absolutely useless

  • CharlesinRome Charles Collins (@CharlesinRome) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia The website says it's fine. When I called later, though, it said they were working on a problem and would text an update. That was 12 hours ago

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia Often get “internet unavailable” and phone line hasn’t worked since we moved over from Sky. Fair to say unless it gets sorted soon I will be going back to Sky snd getting a refund for having no working phoneline. Been a terrible experience.

  • alisonllove1 Alison Love (@alisonllove1) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia I had good service chatting via Twitter but elsewhere absolutley useless

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I don’t know what the issue is but trying to work from home without Broadband that is supposed to be better than Sky isn’t helpful. No one seems bothered about the phone line either!

  • xLepebble Lep (@xLepebble) reported

    @virginmedia Checked the service status yesterday and its still the same, its something wrong with the hub itself, its currently working perfectly fine but i can guarantee it will cut out soon for no reason, i think its broken itself. Its having some sort of wifi box electric mental breakdown

  • mightymarkuk Mark Bell (@mightymarkuk) reported

    @virginmedia What part of they haven't helped and will not help don't you understand?

  • DavidMrplumber David (@DavidMrplumber) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately but predictably no….unsurprising from VM. I’m now on a WhatsApp chat, been all morning trying to resolve this issue yet no nearer to doing so!

  • xLepebble Lep (@xLepebble) reported

    @virginmedia Went down again at 4am so I went to bed and its still not fixed itself since then. Just gonna have to pin reset it and hope it works till the engineer arrives between 12 and 2, which massively collides with my plans but it was either today or wait till Monday which is stupid 😒

  • mightymarkuk Mark Bell (@mightymarkuk) reported

    @virginmedia I've called 150 many times they still don't solve my problem. I'm not "privileged" yet I have a genuine problem & you have better equipment that could solve it. The forums aren't going to help me. I'm not investing in mesh wifi either when your equipment should be adequate.1/2

  • Fringillacious Andrew Brixey-Williams (@Fringillacious) reported

    @virginmedia please confirm any outage in the Southend on Sea area.

  • DavidMrplumber David (@DavidMrplumber) reported

    @virginmedia So I’ve just rang that number and the automated message says there’s still an issue yet you tell me everything is back on. Can you understand now how frustrating VM are?

  • mejulie64 Julie Bailey (@mejulie64) reported

    @virginmedia I said I had rebooted, reset etc the green flashing power light means there is a problem outside!

  • donnykebab1972 Kieron Griffin (@donnykebab1972) reported

    @virginmedia internet/WiFi down again

  • Rache1Cxx Rachel (@Rache1Cxx) reported

    @virginmedia Not great-your website says service should be back to normal but we have no internet or TV yet-bottom light on hub is just flashing green even after restarting
