Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Hertfordshire, England

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

  • gashead Alistair 🏴‍☠️ Burns (@gashead) reported from Hatfield, England

    Used to tell my colleagues on @virginmedia to switch to @BT to overcome reliability issues. Moved house and little choice to pick Virgin. No internet or TV for 7 days, fix due by 1pm today. Queried at 1.30pm and 6.30pm, assured it would be today, told to relax. Frankie says BS.

  • jesseb4me Jesse Bryce (@jesseb4me) reported from Luton, England

    @muppetkeeper @virginmedia @TalkTalk Plus at almost double the speed. No idea why they need to make it so difficult to get a good deal. But for continuity of service, and not having another piece of obsolete hardware lying around, I’ve taken it.

  • Lisamarie0410x Lisa (@Lisamarie0410x) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia whole service has gone down. Its bloody ridiculous

  • sousax_x XxSousaxX (@sousax_x) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @Sabrina62517017 @virginmedia Yes i have same issue in EN8 absolutely nothing

  • paulnewbz Paul Newby (@paulnewbz) reported from Hoddesdon, England

    @virginmedia my router is showing a message saying update in progress. It’s been like this all day. Service status says the networks being updated but fix by 3pm. Is there a fix? I cannot log in to the router.

  • brobbo55 robbo (@brobbo55) reported from St Albans, England

    @virginmedia sort out the wifi in AL4. Been down two days now joke of a provider

  • janeylees Jane Lees (@janeylees) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia struggling to understand in these days of modern technology why you cant text customers when you know broadband is down in their area & at least give them a heads up #CustomerService #customerexperience

  • loobylou470 Lisa 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🐶⚽️🍺 (@loobylou470) reported from Stevenage District, England

    Cheers @virginmedia, I finally get to sit down to watch some TV after being on the go for the past 17 hours to find network errors with my V6 box followed by a huge update. I really enjoy spending what little time I have in the evening rebooting and unplugging cables #frustrated

  • PrimaryxTeacher Angela 💫 (@PrimaryxTeacher) reported from Dunstable, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is down and on service checker it’s says no fault, I try to do the test but the website crashes after clicking “test” button.

  • loobylou470 Lisa 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🐶⚽️🍺 (@loobylou470) reported from Stevenage District, England

    @virginmedia The box is knackered, it's flashing lights, going between the welcome screen a strange black screen with white box and arrow (?) and then off again. I've contacted support and an engineer is coming out on Thursday

  • NLFG Nick Chainey 💙 (@NLFG) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia I've tried both of those. I was going to restart the router and see if that made any difference. Appreciate the help 👍🏼

  • chanderson76 Chanders (@chanderson76) reported from Stevenage District, England

    @virginmedia 46 minutes on chat going round in circles…..any chance of some customer service?

  • sianhelena_m Sian Milner (@sianhelena_m) reported from Hitchin, England

    @gashead @virginmedia Bizarre that it’s not actually Kelly causing an issue yet they’re being very helpful for me! Unfortunately not sorted! Honestly lost all faith in it being resolved. Never had such an issue trying to get an answer from a company. Hope you get sorted too!

  • EnriqueGuadiz Enrique Guadiz (@EnriqueGuadiz) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    The only good thing these new @virginmedia super hubs are good for is flying out of a window! Dropping internet connection like AH dropping her package on JD’s bed! Fricking awful service!

  • angelstorm13 Ella A Cutler (@angelstorm13) reported from Hatfield, England

    Urgh! And once again #virginmedia is down. No Internet, WiFi, broadband etc. They raise their bills to above inflation and still the same crappy service. @virginmedia

  • bunchyno2 ian (@bunchyno2) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia I have a complaint regarding staff behaviour. Can someone help

  • sousax_x XxSousaxX (@sousax_x) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @virginmedia no service at all EN8 0DZ and cant gwt onto your website

  • Cleric20 Matt Adcock (@Cleric20) reported from Hitchin, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been a customer for almost 27 yrs with you guys - was being offered an upgrade to broadband…

  • Laurad0707 Laura (@Laurad0707) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @virginmedia when I switched to you in April the guy selling the package offered me some Wi-Fi boosters if I had poor signal in parts of my house which I do… now some months in I really do need them and was promised them free of charge so can you make good on your promise please

  • sianhelena_m Sian Milner (@sianhelena_m) reported from Hitchin, England

    @virginmedia Is anyone actually reading my tweets… I’ve called 10+ times and no one seems able to help!? Apparently no one here can either…

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GrumpyBiker1969 Mr. Miyagi 🌴 (@GrumpyBiker1969) reported

    @O2 still can not access my account it looks like the issue is your merge with @virginmedia and a conflict with the App & on line log in. How I am I supposed to manage my account @Ofcom

  • disguisedintel NOT IN MY NAME (@disguisedintel) reported

    @emilyk1992 @virginmedia This is the virgin media way. I have a repair date for 7th august which is 3 weeks from them being told and it took 3 appointments and 5 hours of dealing with their lying, inept customer support staff. RUN AS FAR AND AS FAST TO ANOTHER PROVIDER.

  • DawnSunrise1 Dawn (@DawnSunrise1) reported

    Virgin Media have emailed to say our current contract is coming to an end and we will be charged another £50 a month in future. Wtf? Now I'll have to phone to challenge it. Fed up of all this @virginmedia

  • morse64 ian Morson (@morse64) reported

    @virginmedia what an absolute joke... cant access online due to this new Virgin media / O2 login. I do not have access to the email account and rang customer services to change it. Still no joy

  • Christo24382100 Christopher Aveyard (@Christo24382100) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been with Virgin Media for two weeks and haven’t been able to log into my account, I’ve spoken to so many advisors who tell me to wait anywhere between 24-72 hours and try again. Terrible costumer service so far, no one seems to have a clue what they’re doing.

  • mjaanensen mjaanensen (@mjaanensen) reported

    @virginmedia please can someone contact me. I no longer have access to the e-mail address associated with my account, therefore cannot login to my virgin media and cannot change the e-mail address associated. Help! Also your internet is awful at the moment but can't run any tests

  • excitedpixels Jeremy Wood (@excitedpixels) reported

    @virginmedia @bt_uk @O2 Much like BT your systems seem very broken.

  • womaninblue1050 Marilyn (@womaninblue1050) reported

    @AlisonLMercer @O2 @virginmedia Yes there are loads affected. There’s a Facebook group specifically for problems with Virgin and this problem is highlighted significantly.

  • CleanzineEditor Jan Hobbs (@CleanzineEditor) reported

    @mickharkin68531 @virginmedia Whenever folk post on social media that they're looking to change their provider, locals response with recommendations/steer clears & often include prices they pay. It certainly doesn't look as if I've been saving 40%! I'd happily pay more for a good service though

  • HCopIey HCopley (@HCopIey) reported

    Tried to cancel my virgin media contract got passed around like a **** through 6 teams just to have my call disconnected after 45 mins ***** @virginmedia
