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

  • bigtoodle Peter Tuffy (@bigtoodle) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yes I called them, for some obscure reason they cancelled the visit. Never bothered to tell me of course and have now rearranged another visit on the 25th. The right arm does not know what the left is doing.

  • bigtoodle Peter Tuffy (@bigtoodle) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia To fix or change my TiVo box.

  • SandySneddon Sandy Sneddon (@SandySneddon) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Just one week ago @virginmedia carried out "essential works" on their network. Today the Internet connection has failed again. Eventually I was able find out there were "issues" in our area. And their app is a waste of space.

  • muddlinleigh Leigh💙 💚🤍💜 (@muddlinleigh) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Not wfh today after all, IT issues that for once aren't due to the general shiteness of virgin media. Unscheduled day's leave instead after 90 mins of shouting at my laptop.

  • Graemereaper Ricky Goold 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@Graemereaper) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia I have not been able to access any Virgin Media broadband services - either my own or the local hotspot - since around 6pm. I have turned my router off and on again before you ask. Down Detector suggests a national problem with Virgin broadband.

  • SandySneddon Sandy Sneddon (@SandySneddon) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Hi @virginmedia my Internet is down again, second day in a row in EH17. I've checked cables, rebooted the router and reset it all to no avail. Please get someone to phone me

  • bigtoodle Peter Tuffy (@bigtoodle) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia still having horrendous problems with this company, numerous calls since 22nd July. Twice assured that engineers would call, but no shows. I have spent hours conversing with numerous people to no avail.

  • shellbryson Shell Bryson (@shellbryson) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginhelp @virginmedia Oops, my bad! And thank you.

  • Graemereaper Ricky Goold 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@Graemereaper) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Why? This is a national problem, apparently. What will me clogging up the phone line achieve? It's not just the Facebook-owned apps, it's your broadband service too.

  • michaelgcuk Michael Clark 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@michaelgcuk) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Anyone else having Internet problems? @virginmedia

  • Graemereaper Ricky Goold 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@Graemereaper) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia But you're not an automated service. You're a human being from Virgin Media who I've reported this to.

  • RobbyRSSRobot Robby #StayHome #SaveLives (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Are you having connection problems in the EH13 area? Broadband keeps dropping out.

  • bigtoodle Peter Tuffy (@bigtoodle) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia ongoing problems with my service. Promised on the 18th that an engineer would call in the 22nd, a no show. Then promised an engineer on the 25th, a no show. Then promised a new TiVo box in the post, yes you guessed it, yes a no show. Ridiculous service no explanation

  • xStormxBringeRx ian (@xStormxBringeRx) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    In all fairness to those that have @SkyUK broadband. It is an awful service. We suffered nothing but outages so we changed to #virginmedia as soon as we could. Went from around 35Mb to 200Mb then upgraded to 350Mb before I went onto Gig1.

  • shellbryson Shell Bryson (@shellbryson) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Think I’ve resolved it… but you’re you fault 🙄 The 2.4G network renamed *itself* back to modems’ default sometime over night (according to my network logs), so older devices could no longer connect. 5G devices were unaffected. I renamed SSID back to correct value. Bizarre.

  • Graemereaper Ricky Goold 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@Graemereaper) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @MartinGoold @virginmedia Yes, I've just seen the headline on the news. My WhatsApp isn't working, but I can access Facebook. Down Detector suggests a national Virgin Media issue.

  • ginandtoxicuk G (@ginandtoxicuk) reported from Dunfermline, Scotland

    How can I check an order for iPhone 13 pro @virginmedia and make sure it linked to my broadband account for order to show I’m already a customer ? #virginmobile

  • jordanmillar_ Jordan 🥵💪🏼 (@jordanmillar_) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia i literally hate ur wifi, it’s actually up there with the worst wifi on the face of the earth, u can send folk up to space but i can’t watch netflix or tweet this tweet cos now i have to use my data and let me tell you i only have 10mb left so u can pay for more xxx

  • bigtoodle Peter Tuffy (@bigtoodle) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @Footbalifantasy @virginmedia I have now been promised an engineers visit on Tuesday to fix my V6 box, I will be delighted if it happens. That is nearly a month since I first reported the faults.

  • bigtoodle Peter Tuffy (@bigtoodle) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yes, this problem has been ongoing for nearly a month, absolutely disgraceful service.

  • frances_withane Frances (@frances_withane) reported

    Woeful support from @virginmedia – hope @O2 see sense and part ways with them asap otherwise I dread to think how many customers they could be set to lose too. Avoid at all costs!

  • m_clarem4 Clare Miller (@m_clarem4) reported

    @virginmedia I have been charged for months for a SIM card that I have never used or taken out of the packet! You should not be charging me! But to add insult to injury no answer on 1908 so I cant even speak to anyone to get my money back! Disgraceful!!How can you defend this?!

  • eddietomalin Eddie Tomalin (@eddietomalin) reported

    @virginmedia Who has a landline or Virgin Media mobile account in 2022. It’s daylight robbery and you know it. It sums up @virginmedia - don’t care about their customers. I was only ringing to ask you to stop showing me Facebook ads for an £18 a month service when you’re charging me £28.

  • Tashspeaks22 Tash (@Tashspeaks22) reported

    I have had zero luck in registering an account with @virginmedia so that I can review my broadband bill. Customer service has been unhelpful and still no progress since my call last week!

  • Newmanski86 James N (@Newmanski86) reported

    @virginmedia ive called four times now and no-one ive spoken to understand the problem, let alone how to take a payment for it. rather disconcerting and dissapointing for a company of your size.

  • KunalMoorpana Kunal Moorpana (@KunalMoorpana) reported

    @virginmedia The order was placed online through Tenant Shop partners of Foxtons! The order was placed 3 weeks back and it is still under processing. I have called your phone support 08009522298 atleast 7 times now and I keep getting the same status that they are looking into it!

  • CathyConneff Cathy Conneff (@CathyConneff) reported

    @virginmedia They are doing at the moment. To be honest, the problem is not with Virgin Media other than using this company. I have never had a good experience with them and if I am aware of deliveries being made by them, I will not order from the company using them.

  • ffsStuart sᴛᴜᴀʀᴛ (@ffsStuart) reported

    @virginmedia It’s fine rn but at night I have nothing but issues, 100% packet loss, losing full connection for like 30 seconds+

  • BorlaseDave Dave Borlase (@BorlaseDave) reported

    @VMO2News @virginmedia I've tried endlessly to get my issues resolved. Over 3 Days! On WhatsApp chat! Your company is a disgrace

  • simp73 Eddy (@simp73) reported

    @virginmedia It's not working mate and he told her it's because it's the wrong one..
