Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Islington, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Islington and nearby locations:
-
Emma Churcher-Holt (@emmalouchu) reported from Camden Town, England@virginmedia Even this link isn't working. Takes me straight to auto bot/live chat messaging service and there is no one actually responding.
-
Shar 💙 #IStandWithUkraine (@sharlewis58) reported from Hackney, England@virginmedia the tv connection has had a fault since 8th June. You are "working on it", & each day checking status the date to fix is moved further away. You do not refund for lack of service why is that? And text updates are not received. And its STILL not working.
-
Mariachiara (@mariesnotcool) reported from Islington, England@virginmedia we’ve had no service in EC1V London, since our Wi-Fi was installed last month. We’ve tried to call countless time and we keep being told about “area issues” that would be solved the day after but never do. This is just unacceptable behaviour!
-
Jacob Smith (@JacobWSmith10) reported from Camden, England@virginmedia @skytv can you please sort out the sky sports app. I cannot login in using my virgin media account. It will not load the password page. I don’t really see why it logs me out periodically in the first place.
-
Mark Armstrong (@markatpt) reported from London, England@virginmedia you have now postponed an installation scheduled for 4th November to Christmas Eve! Can’t see that happening. Maybe someone actually based in the UK might bother to contact me about this? Minded to cancel otherwise. Not acceptable service.
-
Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England@virginmedia The quality of customer service cannot be recommended. The long delays are a constant problem Coming up to 2 hours this morning and no response
-
Steven Peterson 🏳️🌈 (@squeakytoy) reported from Islington, EnglandI called @virginmedia back and they are now saying they won’t be able to install my internet until February 15th, a month after they sent me the modem. They’ve already activated my account and are charging me, but are telling me that shouldn’t have happened and they can’t fix it.
-
Sam Batty (@sam_batty) reported from Islington, England@virginmedia Just spend over an hour on live chat/phone. Your service means we’ll be nearly two weeks without internet!
-
Becky Kelly (Göllner) (@BeckyKellyNews) reported from Hackney, England@virginmedia He has tried this and every time it just reverts to an automated bot response that doesn’t accept/understand /respond to his request to cancel. I need another way. As it’s proving impossible and stressful
-
Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England@virginmedia It’s arranged (3rd time) for engineer visit tomorrow 4-7pm…. I just hope they don’t randomly cancel again
-
Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England@virginmedia Can someone advise how I fix the Wi-Fi pod which isn’t working with my new router - I had to upgrade at extra cost to receive new kit as the lead time was shorter than getting a competitor in #ThisIsWrong
-
DianaS (@DianaAlexS) reported from London, England@virginmedia ** PLEASE NOTE ** We don't have human agents supporting troubleshooting / technical issues over our Messaging Platform. If you wish to speak to someone please contact one of the Team on 150 from your Virgin Media Landline or 0345 454 1111 Well that was "helfpul"
-
Richard Gendal Brown (@gendal) reported from City of London, England@virginmedia Thanks for your help but this is a problem only Three can sort! Their new system works where it’s deployed. The problem is that they haven’t deployed it everywhere - eg Elizabeth Line.
-
CJ (@ZJM_331) reported from Islington, England@virginmedia your service checker isn’t working. Can you please advise of service issues in the N1 area as the broadband has gone down again? Thank you.

Shah 🦅 (@shah4569) reported from London, England@virginmedia bring back customer service to the UK. Philippines is a joke!
-
Shah 🦅 (@shah4569) reported from London, England@virginmedia All these problems. But still fleecing money from us.
-
Marian Martin (@marianmartinart) reported from London, England@virginmedia It says there aren't any known issues but we have been struggling with it for the last few years - the service is just getting worse!
-
Rhymer Rigby (@rhymerrigby) reported from London, England@scribblercat @virginmedia The frequency of posts like this is why I'll never leave BT. IME, they're reliable and I care about that far more than speed, price, etc.
-
Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England@virginmedia Please as I have been paying for service
-

Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Elizabeth Ellis (@LizEllisPianist) reportedGhastly customer service from @virginmedia #O2mobile , no resolution to an issue which started in August 2024 ! Beyond a joke at this point ! Legal route is now the only way forward with this !
-
Mo2 (@ImaginaryCard) reportedHello @virginmedia the Internet has been down since 7.30am and I haven't been able to register a loss of service on your website. Wtf
-
Andy W (@AndrewW12290183) reported@virginmedia Still yet to happen. Plus you will still keep my money for a TV subscription that I never signed up for. Virgin does not reward customer loyalty. I also see you think customers issues are funny
-
Ashron Designs (@AshronDesigns) reported@virginmedia I have decided to cancel after nearly 20 years! Tried live chat and all they did was reduce the package to reduce the price.
-
Andrew Baynton (@theandyb10) reported@virginmedia this morning. After lots of wasted time and persistence, I managed to raise a complaint. They informed me no record of my conversation yesterday evening and no ability to give me a priority / urgent appointment. Furious!
-
Filius Scott (@RobinRaving) reported@virginmedia Nope! But have found out my new provider will be able to cancel my contract on my behalf so I don't have to go through the agony of trying to deal with your "customer service" team.
-
Djacid (@djacid25) reportedSorry about no streams . No content . I have no Internet @virginmedia say it will not be back up until the 13th . Its been off since the 5th. No word . No update. Not even a message from virgin media. I dont feel like a customer at this point . Rather just a number. Do better
-
@bling_pot (@bling_pot) reported@virginmedia Can you explain how you can even justify increasing your broadband service to over double for a single household who limits what they use WiFi for?!
-
MouseMat (@andymousemat) reported@virginmedia been a customer for over 12 years and given you approx £12k - Is there any chance you can replace my 6 year old hub 4 - which is old technology now.
-
Steve Smith (@SteveSmith98) reportedHi @virginmedia. Fault F012283434 started last Thursday and you're now saying you don't intend to fix it at all this week. Do you actually think it's OK for your customers to be unable to work for a week? Could you not even try to explain what's wrong and what you're doing?
