Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Histon, England

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

  • tombowran Tom Bowran (@tombowran) reported from Willingham, England

    @virginmedia i need you to call me. No internet is unacceptable when we’re all working from home. Making it impossible to find a phone number to also get help is also a joke.

  • SJE1981 Stephen Edwards (@SJE1981) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @virginmedia internet went down. Is now back up. Not sure wtf just happened. But happy to be back on now

  • JayDThePlumber JayD the Yiddo (@JayDThePlumber) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    The irony in @virginmedia using the hashtag stay connected, literally have never been so frustrated with broadband in my life. I spend more time resetting the router and checking service status than I do actually using the internet

  • JayDThePlumber JayD the Yiddo (@JayDThePlumber) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @virginmedia No, I get my bill every month month via email it’s never been an issue in the past

  • LordyGibs Matthew James (@LordyGibs) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @virginmedia Hi, it’s a problem in the area, i done a reset job yesterday, I useless wireless connection.

  • JayDThePlumber JayD the Yiddo (@JayDThePlumber) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @virginmedia has the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Issue after issue after issue and still no resolve.

  • GoMcMahon #DocMartin (@GoMcMahon) reported from Saint Ives, England

    @virginmedia I have tried every method to get a response and a solution from customer support and it's now another week gone by that we can't use the V6 box because you haven't sent me a small cable adapter. @Ofcom you could be more firm with companies that let customers down!

  • ChrisRandWrites Chris Rand (@ChrisRandWrites) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    After all these years, @virginmedia still manage to provide the single worst support or customer service system I've ever experienced. They continue to find more and more innovative ways of preventing you talking to anyone, either by phone or chat. How *do* people get through?

  • fliss2210 Fliss (@fliss2210) reported from Saint Ives, England

    @virginmedia you've been very quick to take my money over the years but when you want to cancel a contract no phone lines and no clear way to do it online?? Your web chat is appalling! This is horribly painful

  • JayDThePlumber JayD the Yiddo (@JayDThePlumber) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve signed up but received no email from VM to verify my email. To add to that my broadband has gone down as well.

  • keir_macintosh Keir Macintosh (@keir_macintosh) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @virginmedia We are new to virgin media and tbh it’s a bit crap. It needs to get better quickly. We are paying for fibre and have a few average service and super spotty service.

  • GoMcMahon #DocMartin (@GoMcMahon) reported from Saint Ives, England

    @virginmedia why is it impossible for you to provide customer support? Every other major company has managed to set up employees to work from home and continue customer support, but your great media company cannot! 20+ mins waiting for an answer, is very poor.

  • NikkiMentoring NIKKI STOCK | Mentor| Marketing|Networker| (@NikkiMentoring) reported from Fenstanton, England

    @zimmro @virginmedia If it’s any comfort I have had major issues in the last six weeks with my broadband. I think it is sheer overload with so many people working from home on domestic broadband they just can’t cope.

  • MarkLittlewood Follow @BoSConference it is better than me. (@MarkLittlewood) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @virginmedia you are not working again.

  • LordyGibs Matthew James (@LordyGibs) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @virginmedia Yeah that’s all I can do but it’s happening a lot lately! We have to work from home and it’s affecting our jobs due to poor WiFi.

  • harmsy Andrew “2 m away” Harmsworth (@harmsy) reported from Oakington and Westwick, England

    Virgin Media. Two words synonymous with Customer Disservice.

  • GarethIain Gareth Iain (BrewWeasel) (@GarethIain) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @virginmedia is the hands down the worst broadband provider I’ve ever encountered

  • MarkLittlewood Follow @BoSConference it is better than me. (@MarkLittlewood) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @virginmedia So glad to have left your terrible broadband and embarrassing customer service behind.

  • JoeWalla23 joe waller (@JoeWalla23) reported from Histon, England

    @virginmedia still trying to actually speak to customer service since before XMAS! being ridiculously overly charged every month for calls it’s impossible for me to make as I haven’t got a house phone! Horrendous service!! This month £117!

  • sukishar Suki Sharples 🕷 (@sukishar) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @virginmedia Again no internet in CB1! Terrible service...

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • STMSMediaUK STMS Media (@STMSMediaUK) reported

    Absolutely utterly sick and tired of @virginmedia now. Constant broadband interruptions. Months and months ive had issues, keep ringing up, constant drop outs, constantly trying different things, and now network problems. It's beyond a joke 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • alan_gibbons Alan Gibbons (@alan_gibbons) reported

    @virginmedia You sent a new WiFi router out then said you were coming to collect that!! You then took us down for a day at a time on two seperate occasions and instead of getting 200mbps we were getting 7mbps yesterday when your service was saying no faults. Just sort it out ffs.

  • TGVMD TGVMD (@TGVMD) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia internet down again in L31 what’s the fix time?

  • anaagdagd Anastasia Demetriou (@anaagdagd) reported

    @Bhavnik @virginmedia Hi- virgin has gone down in Bromley and Chislehurst. Can you confirm when it will be back on? This is very serious as offices are closed and many people are working from home. Your service status says it will be resolved by this evening?!

  • cjd1977 Chris (@cjd1977) reported

    @virginmedia telephone customer services told me you cannot provide customers with their account notes from previous queries etc. Some previous billing/package amendments have not been actioned and dealing with this over the phone isn't working. Let me know thanks

  • Aline_Hayes Aline Hayes (@Aline_Hayes) reported

    @virginmedia Am not sharing some details on open message no. Basically the caller said I will have my internet connection terminated in 10 days, for 15 days, unless I comply with demands from your security department. When I refused they said they would terminate immediately.

  • JPEllis81 Jamie Ellis (@JPEllis81) reported

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there is an outage in AL2 area? can’t access account. Thanks

  • MrBenStone Ben Stone (@MrBenStone) reported

    @virginmedia Yes that’s fine - we have had our speeds upgraded but still have WiFi problems. At least one room in the house shows as a black spot on the app, and we do get points when the WiFi is slow. Have re-booted hub and followed instructions. Would a booster solve this?

  • dunxchapman Dunx (@dunxchapman) reported

    @virginmedia The terrible Hub 4, requesting a Hub 3 back and a promised call back which was supposed to happen Monday.

  • ruthbushi Ruth Bushi (@ruthbushi) reported

    @virginmedia @IM_org Is there a way to turn on caller ID without phoning you (seeing as wait times are at least an hour at the moment)? I keep getting spam / scam calls, despite being registered with TPS. Can you help? Thanks.
