Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Kensington, England

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

  • FoodwiseWomen
    Foodwise Woman (@FoodwiseWomen) reported from Kensington, England

    I’m trying to live chat to @virginmedia to see if they can install a Hub 5 router in our area as Apple reporting privacy problems with existing router. I’m on hold for a ‘live’ agent but their Terri Triage BOT requires me to press the ‘Yes I’ll hold button’ every 40secs. 😱😱😱

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Oh, they did let me cancel, but I had to answer about 3 “last question”s before they proceeded 5 minute response time on chat, took me nearly two hours, after the 4 hours it took to connect an agent. We could get a contract with a credit check in 5 minutes.

    @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…

  • DuarteMendonca
    Duarte Mendonça (@DuarteMendonca) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia having massive issues with billing and tried over 5 times to sort this over the phone. Most times someone will hang up and not call back making me have to call again, wait for 30m, tell the whole story again. Need to speak to an actual human at a store. Suggestions?

  • ImaginaryCard
    Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia Issue is still ongoing. I have called the helpline twice and after dialling my password and getting a dial tone, I have been cut off both times before speaking to anyone. Are your phone lines broken?

  • MissMikaSimmons
    MIKA SIMMONS (@MissMikaSimmons) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Awful. I ask you again - what exactly are you spending customer fees on?

  • markhayo
    MarcHayo (@markhayo) reported from Kensington, England

    Well done to the engineers @virginmedia for sorting out my internet in Earl’s Court (ahead of time as usual). I appreciate that people have genuine problems, but we need to keep a sense of proportion. Especially compared with brave Ukrainians who face far worse troubles than us.

  • ImaginaryCard
    Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia down yet again. Where's the refund for all the hours lost with no WiFi connection?

  • josethepotter
    Jose Carvalho (@josethepotter) reported from Hammersmith, England

    ITS NOW almost 6 months since I made the contract with the sales team and I was told by the customer service team today that they can’t help and I need to keep trying. Trying what? WHERE ARE MY RIGHT? @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • pepemac27
    Joseph Machta⭐⭐ (@pepemac27) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia hey there. Our broadband has been down since yesterday and the estimated fix time keeps being put later and later. My wife is working from home today so it's pretty impossible. Please could we have some sort of replacement dongle in the mean time?

  • remecampos
    reme campos (@remecampos) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia no wifi since yesterday. Again. Any ideas what the problem may be?

  • JakElkes
    Jack Elkes (@JakElkes) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia @YessMarvell @virginmedia also having issues here but your service status page is down....

  • catgull
    Catherine Gull (@catgull) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with the network. No service!

  • ImaginaryCard
    Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia it's been 3 hours and we still don't have WiFi. We shouldn't have to wait 48 hours of bad service for a refund when this **** happens every few days 😵#virginmediadown

  • muloongo
    Muloongo Muchelemba (@muloongo) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Why is the broadband service down today?! It’s been patchy all week. For the price we are paying every month, we expect better than this… #virginmedia

  • AndrewGrill
    The Actionable Futurist® Andrew Grill (@AndrewGrill) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia I’m not a VM customer, I just want to buy a WiFi pass as my carrier’s login methods have changed and I can no longer log in automatically

  • ImaginaryCard
    MOMO (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia How's that gonna fix my problem? Twice in 2 weeks I've had no service. Can I cancel my contract if I'm in the 1st month?

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @BigupJeff @virginmedia Yeah, unfortunately. We are okay with the service, that’s why we kept it in the new one, but the customer service is a joke. Had @Hyperoptic once, was absolutely brilliant. Too bad it’s rarely available.

  • craiginmotion
    craig crawford (@craiginmotion) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia And how am I to do that with no service? It took 3 technicians to figure out my modem had to be “pin reset” and another to rename it properly. Thats 1 hr of my life gone. So glad @CommunityFibre has arrived near me.

  • ImaginaryCard
    MoMo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    The audacity of #virginmedia to send a letter to me stating that their prices are going up in March after months of rubbish service... 🚮

    @weyland76 @virginmedia They 100% need to invest in the air conditioning at the exchanges, as soon as it gets hot outside the internet goes down literally every day

    @virginmedia Huh, bet that's why we've had rubbish service lately, local toddlers walking past pulling em. It's a monstrosity!

  • MakelyStudio
    Ali@Makely (@MakelyStudio) reported

    the thing AI has never once been able to do is walk into a room, understand the real problem before anyone's articulated it, and make a call that changes the direction of the product. I've done that at Sky, Virgin Media, NatWest and Citibank. that's still the job. and it always will be.

    @virginmedia @jackmanflash Spoiler: They won't help. They never do.

    @virginmedia yeah, no. been without internet for a week and engineer was supposed to fix our outside cables today. just got a message saying it's been rescheduled for next month. your customer service is pathetic and disgusting. can't wait to switch.

    @jcbrough @virginmedia Honestly, why are they asking me to tell them if there are issues with their service?!
