Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Islington, England

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

  • TechZilla_ Tech Zilla (@TechZilla_) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia When I checked other sites like down detector it shows Virgin broadband is down all over london so how come you don’t know that?

  • 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?

  • jim_dawes James Dawes (@jim_dawes) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia no broadband, WiFi or TV services in the SE7 area until 5pm today is completely unacceptable for people working from home. Engineering faults should not be happening during the day. £8 compensation is absolute peanuts. Very poor indeed.

  • kimweston90 Kim Weston (@kimweston90) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia don’t appreciate being hung up on by your despatch team. I’m aware of an issue today in the SE20 area, however I have had issues with my connection for the last week - could you please help since your call centre won’t?

  • winetaff Lee James (@winetaff) reported from Esher, England

    @virginmedia Apparently a local fault but my signal test says no issue -still not resolved and still no TV -follow up call that was promised within 3 days hasn’t materialised (Day 6 and counting)

  • jackbremer The Honourable Jack Bremer, Laird of Loch Borralan (@jackbremer) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia All, got builders in, need to talk to someone The point I was making was your app is bad

  • askgeez Guy F (@askgeez) reported from Loughton, England

    @virginmedia are there known issues with broadband in Loughton IG104QU? Had very patchy speeds recently . Paying for 350mb, typically getting 150mb+. Few days now of <30mb 😫

  • marcustucker Marcus Tucker (@marcustucker) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia Surely you must agree that your service status is useless if there's a fault for 15 days but doesn't once give me a correct status? Why is the status tool broken and why is it not being fixed?

  • marcustucker Marcus Tucker (@marcustucker) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia Your service status online tells me everything is fine, even when I run a test, while tech support can only tell me that there IS a fault and the estimated repair date has been shifted yet again, this time to April 21st. SMS updates are useless too. It's absolutely infuriating.

  • jdboxall John Boxall (@jdboxall) reported from Merton, England

    Hey @virginmedia your website says no problems with Broadband in SW19 - been dropping out all morning and your own diagnostic tool says: There's a network issue which maybe affecting your broadband service. Please advise when you will fix it and update your mendacious website.

  • marcustucker Marcus Tucker (@marcustucker) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia Your various automated customer service systems are a horrible mess, they flat out contradict each other! It's shamefully bad & has been so for a long time so this can't be news to you. Why have @virginmedia STILL not done anything about these basic customer experience problems?

  • marcustucker Marcus Tucker (@marcustucker) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia No coherent reason for 17 days of unusable broadband. Yesterday was told there was an SNR issue, today I was told everything is resolved but my awful bandwidth still shows otherwise. I'm now on a 3 day bandwidth check, which is at least different, possibly progress possibly not.

  • GoodbyeCook Villain in Tinseltown? (@GoodbyeCook) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia What the hell id going on.Yesterday and today mornings no service at all. Crap.

  • Sheetal_15 Sheetal (@Sheetal_15) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia any chance you could actually have an engineer call the time they said they would? Just moved to a new home and your service has been atrocious so far.

  • Purp_Amethyst Maya (@Purp_Amethyst) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia guys my internet is not working ?

  • marcustucker Marcus Tucker (@marcustucker) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia I've already spoken to them many times including tonight and they can't do anything other than tell me that the date has moved yet again. Nobody seems to be able or willing to fix your broken status system.

  • TechZilla_ Tech Zilla (@TechZilla_) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia Well your customers report issues on download detector because you guys are so difficult to reach!

  • Jamesmeredith James Meredith (@Jamesmeredith) reported from Camberwell, England

    @CommunityFibre @virginmedia #broadband #internet I cancelled Virgin Media broadband in January due to poor customer service and very poor upload speed. Community Fibre are an amazing company! Speeds upload & down 150meg half the price of Virgin. Cust Serv outstanding!! CF!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  • JP_Goddard John Paul Goddard (@JP_Goddard) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia what a joke! Tale of two cities. One advisor couldn’t be more helpful when I rang up with a complaint - I even ended up adding to my package. One was rude, patronising and obnoxious. I get a 14 day cool off might just cancel it. Fuming 😡😡😡

  • marcustucker Marcus Tucker (@marcustucker) reported from Tottenham, England

    This was day *15* of working from home with no broadband thanks to @virginmedia and no reliable information about fixing the outage, no provision of an alternative connection (e.g. 4G dongle) and many hours wasted on hold. No wonder they are worst-rated by @WhichUK - avoid! 🤬

  • RuthieGledhill Ruth Gledhill (@RuthieGledhill) reported

    Dear @virginmedia I was persuaded by the excellent offers on your website to switch from Sky. Now you have cancelled my install. No wifi for weeks, unable to do job, like rest of family. Please do something. (ps please apologise to the bot I called ‘stupid’ in texts last night.)

  • Nadia__xxx Nadia Meem (@Nadia__xxx) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 have been regularly turning it on and off to try and get it back to our normal speeds, works for a short while and then starts to go very slow again. have had such a poor experience with VM so far. We have tried all the tips given online and they are only temporary solutions!

  • oliviagirling Liv (@oliviagirling) reported

    @virginmedia Would be great if we could get some actual info regarding the SE outage. The original fix was estimated at 12:50 yesterday, now it's 21:00 tonight?! Getting ridiculous.

  • Lucilou101 Luci R (@Lucilou101) reported

    @virginmedia very disappointed with the introductory service to Virgin. Quick start changed to installation and been pushed back multiple times, now up to a 5 week wait, not great when WFH!

  • _alialialice Alice (@_alialialice) reported

    @virginmedia I understand that things like this happen, but reliable updates on the timeframe would be SO helpful. Until about 15 mins ago it was saying service would be restored at 9:50am-I’ve planned my day accordingly, and now that’s been thrown out of the window. Deeply frustrating.

  • CamelRoberts Paul Roberts (@CamelRoberts) reported

    Yet more appalling service and customer relations from @virginmedia 2 days without TV and internet and not a jot of sympathy or help. Do your job Virgin Media because we can’t do ours while you continue your pathetic “repairs”. Disgraceful company.

  • suzanne_s178 Suzanne Stewart (@suzanne_s178) reported

    @virginmedia can you please update on the network outage in SE1? I have phoned and the line went dead. This is ridiculous- the estimated time for it to be fixed was originally yesterday at 12:50 and now it’s today 21:00! Shocking

  • Mikem9693 Mike Morris (@Mikem9693) reported

    @virginmedia absolute joke. No internet since yesterday and the expected fix time has moved from 13:05 on 15th to 09:05 today and now to 21:00. Also not text updates about this despite signing up for them.

  • nickswatton Nick Swatton (@nickswatton) reported

    @virginmedia Even when I give account access to your call centre i get no help so will continue to highlight the sporadic service your network provides until I am able to move to a new contract with a different provider. At least this will help others not make the same mistake I did

  • pf_costello patrick costello (@pf_costello) reported

    @virginmedia fix estimate has just been pushed back even further. Two days with no internet. Might be extended again. They offer no support, no real compensation. Avoid virgin at all costs.
