Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Islington, England

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

  • Peterreeves18 Peter Reeves (@Peterreeves18) reported from Richmond, England

    Hey @virginmedia what’s going on. Want to cancel my dongle data number but 789 number not working, chat not working, message sending not working. Any ideas or have you cut yourselves off from the world. It’s not great is it ?

  • DavidcMoynihan David Moynihan (@DavidcMoynihan) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia This is not about individual accounts but a whole neighbourhood looking for an adequate response from you on this issue. We don’t think it’s reasonable to have to wait 6 more days for an engineer to fix when everyone is in lockdown/working from home. Can your response be quicker?

  • CameraCairns Mark Cairns (@CameraCairns) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Day 4 on the SMS 'help' line. Endless endless repeats of 'lets get you through to the right team'. PLEASE GOD JUST SEND ME ANOTHER ROUTERRRRRR!!!!

  • CameraCairns Mark Cairns (@CameraCairns) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I have been on your SMS 'help' line for several days now and have yet to be referred to the correct 'team'. If I cannot order a new router soon I am just going to give up and book the BT guy. I thought a Virgin was something that was NOT ******!

  • TELITYceo Tyler Smith | 17 (@TELITYceo) reported from Bromley, England

    Grrrr @vmbusiness have had to be up all night working on a project and broadband went down... SO... - uploading 20gb via hotspot on 1 bar of 4g - heating down (smart home) so frozen too - lights not working 🙃🙃

  • DScilly David scilly (@DScilly) reported from Islington, England

    @jammdesign @virginmedia Having a very similar issue now. Been on hold for 90min

  • DavidcMoynihan David Moynihan (@DavidcMoynihan) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia @TweetingKatzo If this is the case - what is our package of support / remuneration etc?

  • DScilly David scilly (@DScilly) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia in Islington and have just been booted off a call on an internet issue after being on hold for 90minutes. Only two songs (both awful) as hold music is about the end of my tether. Try picking up the phone. Feel like I’m in the 1940s!

  • GreenParr Aaron Parr (@GreenParr) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia It’s been every week since March but never for over 24 hours at a time. I’ve booked and cancelled engineers multiple times because I can’t risk losing my hub for repair

  • Peterreeves18 Peter Reeves (@Peterreeves18) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia what is going on 789 not working, chat room not working ,cannot submit query online. Want to cancel my dongle data contract but impossible to get through to you. aarrrggghhhh

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

    @virginmedia Yes the TV is down in my area. The wifi is fine. I have known this for days and no one at Virgin media picks up a call or returns the text. I’d like to cancel my account

  • wishforsnow1980 Leebee1980🇳🇿🇦🇺🇬🇧 (@wishforsnow1980) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia What is going on?? My wifi has been down for an hour and I’ve missed 2 meetings! It’s PS5 launch day tomorrow, I NEED WIFI!!

  • StephenHance1 Stephen Hance (@StephenHance1) reported from Lambeth, England

    @flyinggirlsarah @virginmedia That’s actually a really good idea Sarah, thanks. It’s like Catch 22. They say to call, the phone message refers you to the website, and the website tells you to call. The last time I had customer service as bad as this was @VirginAtlantic ! What’s the connection, I wonder?

  • paulstevenlewis Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia We have no broadband as of midnight, in London N3. Your status says no issues but rebooting router does not help. Can’t get through to anyone by phone or message and we are very dependent on internet right now. Please help.

  • Mark_Phillips66 Mark Phillips (@Mark_Phillips66) reported from Camden Town, England

    Great. @virginmedia ‘Improving service in my area’ by cutting broadband signal without notice. Makes working from home near impossible. Awful company.

  • CameraCairns Mark Cairns (@CameraCairns) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I have been on your SMS 'help' for several days now and getting nowhere. Keeps saying it will refer me to the correct team but that never happens. Going to give your 'Broadband' one more try with a new router if I can never get through to you....

  • DavidcMoynihan David Moynihan (@DavidcMoynihan) reported from Hackney, England

    @TweetingKatzo @virginmedia A large proportion of residents are in contact with each other on this and the few that that have waited an hour plus on calls have been told this. We know we are are dealing with the same issue (as timing of loss of connection is concurrent amongst us all)

  • claire_vale Claire Vale (@claire_vale) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia I’ve run the test and it says there is no issue?

  • StMirrenDaft Ian Williamson (@StMirrenDaft) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia what's going on in N4? Internet is down constantly

  • HeyEmJude Emma Jude Harris (@HeyEmJude) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia It’s now saying November 19th for one of two issues and 18th for something to do with tv. Considering I haven’t had WiFi since last Wednesday this is outrageous.

  • catprodder Treacle **** (@catprodder) reported

    @virginmedia They haven't told me what the problem is and every day they give me a new estimated fix time. Today they have advised the fix time is 24.6.22. It hasn't been working properly since 16.6.22.

  • Theresa_ladyL Careen Livingston (@Theresa_ladyL) reported

    @virginmedia Right now I'm not sure. The request went through customer retention but the last person I spoke to said he was from The Cable Care team. He advised that a manager would call back that evening 20/06/22!

  • GillAJones Gillian Jones Designs (@GillAJones) reported

    @virginmedia My mother can speak for herself and has already sent a letter of complaint. I felt this practice should be highlighted because I don't it to want it to happen to others. According to the "helpline" it is mainly "elderly customers" to whom this happens.

  • welbymcroberts Welby McRoberts (@welbymcroberts) reported

    @virginmedia I understand, however I already informed your retentions team about this, they agreed there wouldn't be any further contact. Theres also no point in requesting that, as 30 days later I wont be a customer. It also *SHOULDNT* take 30 days to update your CRM system to not send spam.

  • chehak9 K (@chehak9) reported

    @virginmedia You have cancelled the technician visit saying it’s an area problem and it will be fixed Monday 2 days ago!!! Nothing has been fixed I’m using my 5G to be able to work from home. This is not acceptable

  • SupremeGx Graham (@SupremeGx) reported

    @virginmedia honestly has the worst customer service and telephone IVR system. How they retain customers is beyond me, I’ve had an issue for 2 months with weekly phone calls and complaints and I get nothing back

  • keithbucknall keithbucknall (@keithbucknall) reported

    @virginmedia As mentioned no point calling CS so decided to find out myself the issue. Looks like its a local cable break in the area effecting alot of households which needs digging and repairing, MTR tomorrow/Friday

  • SaraCla82352859 Sara Clark (@SaraCla82352859) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you. I have spoken to Ren in collections. He has informed me that my account will be cancelled today and I owe no money. Let's see if I receive the e mail to confirm this or not...I have no faith in virgin media anymore. Thank you for your help today

  • JLV1973 Janet Herbert (@JLV1973) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been a customer for years ….. the ISP was done by contractors weeks ago and I was advised yourselves would contact me, the old ISP is what I’m running off at the moment and signal is shocking?

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 💜🐈🎸🎵☕ (@PeteYourDoom) reported

    @ChinnyVision In a few years, it'll all be **** as the PSTN stuff is being moved over onto the Broadband lines. i know my Virgin Media is changing next month. Phone now lugs into back of router
