Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Kensington, England

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

  • mediaczar Mat Morrison (@mediaczar) reported from Paddington, England

    @OminousBagel @virginmedia This is what is annoying me most. They pretend to believe that their service status page is working. But they must have worked out that it isn’t.

  • IAGallosi Ian Gallosi (@IAGallosi) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Yep. Service down. Problem in area. It happens so often it’s a joke.

  • deethfc Deepak (@deethfc) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia It’s been a issue since I agreed to a update 3 months ago I can understand there was a lockdown burin may was told that it would happen 20th may did not happen waited all day rang on 21st and said the order was not put on properly and it has now been done

  • shortland_jo Jo Shortland (@shortland_jo) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I have intermittent WiFi issues with my broadband, can’t get anywhere with your website it’s so frustrating

  • mediaczar Mat Morrison (@mediaczar) reported from Paddington, England

    @OminousBagel @virginmedia Although I’m equally annoyed by their fault self-checking system … that requires you to be on the internet, on the same network you’re complaining is down…

  • AliNewdawn Ali Shahid Ahmed (@AliNewdawn) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @alexdalton @virginmedia Also the outage is not shown on the virgin media website which continues to claim there are ‘no known issues’ in my area - a clear falsehood

  • AliNewdawn Ali Shahid Ahmed (@AliNewdawn) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia I have no broadband in Wandsworth, London and there is no outage showing on your website. Can you confirm that you have an outage and what areas are affected

  • deethfc Deepak (@deethfc) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia And text you date date but never happened rang on 28th and they said it will be Friday 5th June waited till 4 pm and rang than said it was not booked in and will be Saturday 5th June again waited called up and said it’s not been booked a scheduled for 11 June I really saddened

  • sbraganza Stan Braganza (@sbraganza) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia *sigh* it’s ok. I was overreacting too - I had some stuff I was working on and I felt that it was my router that was at fault. Once I knew it was a network issue I was able to relax (and subsequently used 5gb of my mobile data allowance) - at least my hardware still works!

  • darce_vader Darcy 👀 (@darce_vader) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia hi! Are you experiencing issues in London, W5? My WiFi was down for hours yesterday, and the same is happening again today. I've tried troubleshooting & factory resetting my router. Can't get online to do my job :(

  • pretty_gd Pretty (@pretty_gd) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia is da worst for internet ever! Every week there’s a problem. Been off since 4pm kmt

  • weird_FM Mani (@weird_FM) reported from Tottenham, England

    O2 is acting up again. I have had no service all day. And my wifi is ****😭@O2 @virginmedia fix up

  • hasnat2002 Hasnat Ahmed (@hasnat2002) reported from Ealing, England

    @vmbusiness Why is your Broadband down in W5 1JG AGAIN! It's disgraceful.

  • hasnat2002 Hasnat Ahmed (@hasnat2002) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia It appears to have been fixed, but I am not confident of the availability of the BB service in the near future. This is my frustration with the availability of the Virgin BB sevice in the W5 1JG area. I hope whatever cause for the issue has been located and corrected permanently.

  • AliNewdawn Ali Shahid Ahmed (@AliNewdawn) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @alexdalton @virginmedia @virginmedia this is really poor - please have the status corrected on your website and provide updates as to when this is going to be fixed

  • darce_vader Darcy 👀 (@darce_vader) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia WiFi service has severely spotty in W5 for 3 days in a row, making it impossible to work from home. Do you know what is going on, and if this will be an ongoing issue?

  • groovyblueshed The silver goat 🐐 (@groovyblueshed) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia What if Postman Pat's cat intercepts it? Was told without a password, data protection prevented discussion of a billing issue.

  • IAGallosi Ian Gallosi (@IAGallosi) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia broadband down again. Every month there’s at least one problem. Contract can’t end soon enough. So glad to be going back to @SkyUK . If you’re thinking of going with Virgin Media, stay well away! #useless #workingfromhomefail

  • tilak2 tilak😎 (@tilak2) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia #no-internet Intermittent internet for 2 weeks from Virgin Media… very disappointed. Anybody else having any trouble in the TW3 area ?

  • hasnat2002 Hasnat Ahmed (@hasnat2002) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Once again, we in W5 1JG are presented with no Broadband. It's disgraceful, we are constantly having the same issue and the same old message regarding a problem that is being fixed. Terrible service and no way to register for reduced costs during service down.

  • damawa42 Daniel W (@damawa42) reported

    @virginmedia As ever your SMS service is utterly useless; go through the initial bot, wait a bit for a human, get passed to your abysmal triage bot which luckily asks if I'd like to carry on waiting for a human, THEN IT IMMEDIATELY PUTS ME BACK TO THE TRIAGE BOT! Why? So stupid.

  • cgsperryn cuth (@cgsperryn) reported

    @virginmedia customer service just hung up on me again after putting me on hold. BROADBAND STILL NOT WORKING

  • JasonPaulPark Black Lives Matter! (@JasonPaulPark) reported

    @virginmedia Oh, I spoke to many of your higher ups before Christmas! The issue today is not mine, but @Gregflucker's. See the entire thread above for info. This is not a year when unreliable internet can rear it's head. His job relies on it.

  • 65geffers Geoff R 💙 (@65geffers) reported
