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

  • EmmaBurnell_ Emma Burnell (@EmmaBurnell_) reported from Walthamstow, England

    Dear @virginmedia this really isn’t the day for my Internet to go down. Sort it out. NOW.

  • fujimotomitsuya Mitsuya Fujimoto (@fujimotomitsuya) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia She offered to send an engineer. I could not provide any available dates for next few weeks because of my work commitment so I suggested that I would be in touch when I know I have some time available. She said then she would have to close the complaint log.

  • SamanthaOvens Samantha Ovens 🏳️‍🌈 La! (@SamanthaOvens) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @LisaPeace3 @virginmedia Exactly this unfortunately. They’ll just have to put up with me exposing them on here everytime they have ‘technical issues. X

  • kathrynahedrick Kathryn Bowers (@kathrynahedrick) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia are you able to tell if there's an issue in E18 please? Broadband has dropped but there's nothing on the service status page yet.

  • SamanthaOvens Samantha Ovens 🏳️‍🌈 La! (@SamanthaOvens) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia It’s up and running now though I favour it a temporary fix as it’s a repetitive issue in Wandsworth and needs addressing. I pay a premium as opposed to going with a cheaper provider to avoid precisely this scenario. It’s far from a satisfactory service.

  • SamanthaOvens Samantha Ovens 🏳️‍🌈 La! (@SamanthaOvens) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @Paul_Tags @virginmedia There are consistent issues with Virgin Media going down in London SW11. It seems to happen on a weekly basis. I’ll definitely be changing provider.

  • skip_0889 Jay (@skip_0889) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia your service is so appalling I’d like to know how I can leave without being harassed for charges please. We manually paid a bill and cancelled a direct debit to change bank details and you have messed up so badly I’m done. #fail

  • NeverGiveIn123 Lou (@NeverGiveIn123) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Sorry but who thought that this was practical??? I watch an episode then delete, what you are suggesting is way too much effort when the option was at the side. Log this as a formal complaint pls. SkyQ is so outdated compared to Virgin Media, roll my deal expiry! #sky

  • KarimHarbott Karim Harbott (@KarimHarbott) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia I can speculate… your engineers not fixing the issue, probably because they’re spread too thinly, probably because of cost-cutting initiatives to please shareholders. Just speculating.

  • N16Breda N16Breda #VaccinesWork (@N16Breda) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia Yep. And they can't fix it. 24/9 resolution target came from VM rep on Forum...

  • ranaraptor Rana Rahman (@ranaraptor) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia your service is down. Again. It’s been abyssal all day. I’m in SW11. #virginmediadown

  • _jessgamble Jess Gamble (@_jessgamble) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia the service has dropped a few more times since this morning but is currently back on. it has now dropped over 5 times today, and it takes over 15 mins to be connected again

  • ShahinA82783043 Shahin Ali (@ShahinA82783043) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia I still can't believe you all let your staff get away with the way they treat customers especially lying on the notes too make customers pay the cancellation fee.. Thats some scummy tack tick!

  • XtopherCalvert Christopher Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia How do I speak to anyone? The phone menu just sends me round in circles. The link I’ve been given over text tells me there are no issues. My wifi hasn’t worked properly for 2 days or at all for the past hour. Can someone call me?

  • SCcrowther Simon Crowther (@SCcrowther) reported from Camden Town, England

    @plonkymiff @virginmedia I had the same issue and they were just as ridiculous

  • N16Breda N16Breda #VaccinesWork (@N16Breda) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia Hi RP - this is just my daily howl of frustration. Over 12 hours now spent on phone & VM Help Forum. Latest resolution date 24/9 😐

  • SamanthaOvens Samantha Ovens 🏳️‍🌈 La! (@SamanthaOvens) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Here we go yet again. Quelle surprise @virginmedia down in SW11 for the past few hours. Warning to anyone in South London, avoid them as your broadband provider. It truly is an awful service.

  • superpaddiepads The Misadventures of Stevie P (@superpaddiepads) reported from Bromley, England

    @bywarner @Jenn7_4 @virginmedia Their customer service has always been appalling. Hence why I’ll never use them for anything again.

  • ShahinA82783043 Shahin Ali (@ShahinA82783043) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Constant connection issues, I have had issues with it for 2-3 months and have still been paying for something that does not work properly. on top of that you guys write lies on my notes that was read out to me by the cancellation department team member.. 👎 scamming customers

  • Jamesmeredith James Meredith (@Jamesmeredith) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia #internet So glad I left Virgin a year ago. I have much better speeds at half the price. Virgin are expensive and customer service the worst I have ever experienced.

  • chriswoods84 Woodsy (@chriswoods84) reported

    @virginmedia And as a side note, your website help is awful. Your telephone staff and probably yourself must get hacked off with getting shouted at and abuse. It's because customers are so frustrated by the time they get to speak to anybody. And don't blame covid, it was the same before.

  • Laica23 Laica (@Laica23) reported

    @virginmedia You did have a DM service, I have spoken to you before on it

  • Marnis1971 Martin smith (@Marnis1971) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve even got a reference number for the new service listed on the email - a V6 and Mix TV - she has never received.

  • lynnsrottie the jolly rottie (@lynnsrottie) reported

    @virginmedia Unsurprisingly I did that each time. Also tried switching everything off then on again. Also tried contacting customer service.

  • Studaawg Stuart (@Studaawg) reported

    @JJohnsonJourno @virginmedia I’m with them and it’s been awful, I’ve been using 5G all day

  • daisybug22 Suzie Mcnab (@daisybug22) reported

    @virginmedia I’m now on day 13 trying to get through to you with a television technical issue!! On each of these days I’ve tried multiple times to get through to your technical team and nothing!! My screen is distorted on every channel in my box downstairs so I can’t view a thing

  • chriswoods84 Woodsy (@chriswoods84) reported

    @virginmedia A complaint has been made online and not acknowledged so far. The text service, i have been trying all week. Keep starting conversations and being cut off. And the promised call back I have had from a manager today hasn't happened. The level of customer service is pathetic.

  • dave3263 Dave Newton (@dave3263) reported

    @virginmedia What’s with the increase in spam and phishing email attempts over the last two weeks? I had around 30-40 purporting to be from fake @Norton saying my subscription was due renewal and now fake @Macafee too. Your spam traps are suddenly not working! #sortitoutplease

  • AnnaMDimi AMD (@AnnaMDimi) reported

    @virginmedia Why does your contact us hours say 9-6pm but when I tried calling at 4:15pm your service says its closed??

  • ryan_gilvear Ryan Gilvear (@ryan_gilvear) reported

    @virginmedia Still haven't even had the confirmation email to set up the account two days later... nor a reply here, and after talking to a agent on web chat, had no help given at all... great customer experience so far..
