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

  • salaura101 Susan Clarke (@salaura101) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia New Hub 4 arrived during time when Virgin have low staff due to COVID. Keeps dropping out, difficult to work from home and no ability to contact Virgin! ‘Call Failed’ when phoning. Great planning by Operations Mgr. Customer nearly 20 years and want to leave! Fed up!

  • SMCPT Scott McNicholas (@SMCPT) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia two attempts to upgrade package online. 1st included emailing confirmation and waiting in for delivery of equipment. Didn’t happen. Also spoken with someone on your chat and after 50 mins they couldn’t find order or offer same upgrade deal. Very poor indeed

  • MikeJoiner1965 Mike (@MikeJoiner1965) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia Although it’s fixed now you left me in a dangerous situation. I was unable to install new hub straight away. I needed help. Without warning my old hub had been closed by you without the new hub being installed. I rely on wifi for different area’s of illness....

  • ClaudiaMRedmond Claudia Redmond (@ClaudiaMRedmond) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia WiFi keeps going down for weeks now. Tried your customer service and just automated. Not acceptable especially when people in the house trying to work from home. Who can I speak to? #virginmediadown #virginmediawifi

  • ClaudiaMRedmond Claudia Redmond (@ClaudiaMRedmond) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia Yes did that - no issues - reset etc etc etc ....

  • SMCPT Scott McNicholas (@SMCPT) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia not interested in a customer trying to upgrade them?

  • ruby_skudder05 Rubes (@ruby_skudder05) reported from Dunstable, England

    trying to revise for my exams on monday, yet the wifi is down so can’t use the laptop. cheers @virginmedia

  • CParkus Chris Park (@CParkus) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia No - these are generic tips, these aren’t going to help with more fundamental issues W/ network reliability. Wifi connection is fine. But the internet is unreliable and I’ve reset my router 4 times today. That has nothing to do with connectivity/speed.

  • MikeJoiner1965 Mike (@MikeJoiner1965) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia need to look at this issue. Some won’t be so fortunate.

  • CParkus Chris Park (@CParkus) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Not for internet. It seems to work for a bit then I have to reset the router every few hours. Have there been network issues around central London today?

  • LisaYidetteWHL Lisa 😺🛍⚽️💃💅✌🥦🥕🌽 (@LisaYidetteWHL) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

  • LisaYidetteWHL Lisa 😺🛍⚽️💃💅✌🥦🥕🌽 (@LisaYidetteWHL) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia After FIVE DAYS, hours on the phone, messages via the link you sent me etc, I hearby give notice that I have now CANCELLED my direct debit. If you want payment this month and keep me as a customer after 14 years of payments, I suggest you contact me today!

  • 848Jake Jake Kirby (@848Jake) reported from Toddington, England

    @virginmedia once again (5th time in a month) you have screwed our account up. Now it’s another 30 minute wait to talk to someone to correct an error you have claimed to have fixed (on 3 occasions) The worst ever customer service

  • LisaYidetteWHL Lisa 😺🛍⚽️💃💅✌🥦🥕🌽 (@LisaYidetteWHL) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginhelp Virgin Media.FOUR DAYS now. They make you hang on forever then offer you a link to your mobile, and when you message on that as instructed, they never come back to you. Absolute disgrace. My bill has gone up by another 20 quid a month. I will NOT be paying £120 for this service!

  • SMCPT Scott McNicholas (@SMCPT) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    So @virginmedia can’t honour the upgrade offer they’ve made and the subsequent order I have placed. So from trying to upgrade to now cancelling our existing package altogether as a result. Poor customer service

  • janetteleaf1 Janette Leaf (@janetteleaf1) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    Internet down for ages yet again. @virginmedia kept us on hold for over an hour then cut us off at 21:30 and call centre closed. No internet. No service. No use at all.

    @virginmedia Are the servers down again? Loss of broadband again in Plymouth

  • Met_Head Rob Wills (@Met_Head) reported

    @virginmedia PL5 1EP service says no problems but I have been off since 1am

  • JoannaMarieHall Joanna Hall (@JoannaMarieHall) reported

    @wordsbypage @virginmedia @BTGroup Friends overseas who move house tell me how reliable their broadband is, or how cheap it is, or how quickly it is to install. None of this variably download speeds nonsense or three plus weeks for an installation, it’s consistent service & move in day installation.

  • KellyHampSinger Kelly Hampson (@KellyHampSinger) reported

    @virginmedia My house was only built 5 years ago on a small development of about 25 houses, we all registered but with only 25 properties the demand isn't there? Our internet is really bad and I'm worried it will cost me my job!

  • hoostie101 David Houston (@hoostie101) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginhelp I’ve been a virgin media customer for 25 years and am raging after receiving a massive hike in my monthly payments. My contract comes to an end and I’m minded to move. Can you call to discuss or provide complaints number.
