Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Kensington, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Kensington and nearby locations:
-
MarcHayo (@markhayo) reported from Kensington, EnglandWell 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.
-
reme campos (@remecampos) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Still not working, unfortunately I won’t be able to pay for this service much longer if I am always having troubles. I don’t know what to do anymore apart than moving on to another realiable provider
-
Nicky Beale (@NickyJBeale) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia not very happy with the service from Virgin Media! After looking to leave them last week they promised to improve the WiFi and install a 2nd box. Well we have never and now they want to install the 2nd box in a MONTH and a HALF! #poorservice #virginmedia
-
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.
-
Anthony Payne (@Anthony_Lonres) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Your online status reports no faults but as I said in the thread, I have called your support centre at least 10 times & they confirm there is a fault which has been the case since the 2nd of March. I am assured, every time I call, that it will be fixed within 7 days. It never is

Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia No, no one has ever used my email to login on your forums. In the meantime it’s DAY 6 with no Internet service, good job Virgin in supporting us fixing this 👍🏼

-
Cordell Campbell (@cordellcampbell) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia second time this week, an outage in W8. Get it together
-
Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England@AbzAaron @virginmedia Even better… if you don’t play along, nobody else will cancel it. You can’t even hang up on the sales pitch.
-
Adrian Malaiet (@malaiet) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia worst internet provider in UK, appalling service
-
Nick ****** (@nickhooker) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia has the very worst customer service of any company I have ever had to deal with. If you value your sanity DO NOT sign up with them to provide anything!
-
MarcHayo. Former ditherer. Now pro hard-changed EU (@markhayo) reported from Kensington, EnglandRespect to the engineers @virginmedia Consistently maintaining such a complex network is a tough job, especially at a time of exceptional demand. Whingeing the instant something as advanced as an internet network goes wrong is such a self-regarding 1st World problem. Shame on us

Bartosz Zakrzewski (@barfolo1979) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia @mrslooker Problem continues at E15 2BT. Any advice??

🎤Toby Gilles🎤 (@tobygilles) reported from Paddington, EnglandAnyone else having an issue making calls on @virginmedia mobile? Is this a known issue?
-
Dino (@dianaziedina) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia @virginhelp Things are very bad on w10!!!!! No internet once again😑😑😑
-
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.

reme campos (@remecampos) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia my internet keeps cutting off and today not working! I had tried everything your hub mentioned and nothing

Elizabeth Silva (@faysasilva) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia I have not internet in my flat in EC1V9ET since Monday. No explanation no comment and after calling the Customer Service team every day for an update today I was told that I should not be working from home if I’m not a business.! So that’s just 👍 great. That’s why 1

DENIM 🏴 🇺🇸 (@denimscott) reported@TheWho87 @virginmedia We done the same. Said something about "five days" on the packaging, but dismissed it. Within the week, box went down, so had to start using the new remote, thereby losing everything, including some much-looked at sport from the "deleted" file. That file is non-existent now.
-
APTS Archive (@APTSArchive) reportedQuick update following my post - I did have a DM discussion with VirginMedia. Apparently all refunds are process via cheque payments and posted to you - and I’ve got to wait up to 45 days - yes 45 days for the cheque. If I’ve not received it by then I’ve got to contact them again and they will investigate why - probably waiting another 45 days. This is disgusting behaviour @virginmedia, despite it being so called company policy. You took £1,070 from our account despite assurance the equipment return date had been extended, causing us to be overdrawn, yet you now hang on to our money for up to 45 days! It doesn’t take 45 days for a computer to print a cheque!

Andrea Cook 🧷 💙 (@F3Lollipops) reported@virginmedia we've had CS2004 on all channels since yesterday. I spent a long time in a live chat last night & was assured it would be fixed by 11pm last night but it's not. This is unacceptable. At what point do you compensate for not providing the service for which you're paid?
-
𝙱𝚊𝚢𝙹𝚊𝚢𝚉𝚞𝚜🥀 (@BayJayZus) reported@virginmedia @moonpeach212 And what an absolute joke your customer service has become! I can't believe I am paying for this sh¡t!
-
Ryan Ricardo Dunkley (@ryanricardo76) reportedVirgin media absolutely terrible
-
Lee (@LeeDeacy90) reported@LowerNorthBank @virginmedia So bad & such an idiotic decision to do it this weekend. You about later?
-
Dianaaaa (@Dianaaaa_91) reportedInternet went down at 9pm last night. @virginmedia you’re estimating to be back up at 5:08pm today…. My partner wfh how is he supposed to do his job? No information on the app just “an issue in the area” can someone check on this please? It’s only been a week since it fixed.
-
Anna Dé (@AnnaDe_2015) reportedVirgin Media TV completely down, any updates? @virginmedia
-
Chance Walton-Ashmore (he/him) (@AshmoreWalton) reported@virginmedia after asking to change my payment date 4 times and extra on the chat and app. Also being told it’s been changed. Now I’m told it cannot be done due to a system issue and maximum amount of changes have been taken. It hasn’t been changed. Terrible customer service.

Anand Gupta (@anandcheam) reported@virginmedia can you spend some money on customer care so they can answer calls / chats and LISTEN when they do ? You guys sent me 2016 router box when the agreement was to send the latest and now no one is licking up the phone, is that joke? @Ofcom British regulators need to penalise where it starts hurting the service company. Like they do in the USA, 100s of millions of pounds or billions. Not peanuts.
