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

  • only_jokering Adam (@only_jokering) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia all our smart devices are now not responding because "they are too far away from our HUB 3.0". This is according to the diagnostic tool. Thing is, they are the same distance as before, and they used to work on the same router. Help?

  • gunsmoke70 Richard Martin (@gunsmoke70) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia what’s the issue with the service in colchester CO2 area

  • RUSSELL91779006 RUSSELL WALKER (@RUSSELL91779006) reported from Colchester, England

    @IpMcdonald Snap...the same for me, but with virgin media. Absolutely abysmal service.

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I have something called a TP Adapter? in my room. When it is able to come through that the signal is brilliant, but for some reason it is not coming through right now.

  • matt40k Matt Smith (@matt40k) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Ok so, virgin media router kinda sucks, if I use the Bt SmartHub 2, it would basically just be a Wi-fi access point, so would need a like a rpi for dhcp Or I could just buy a google nest Wi-fi or something ubiquiti

  • rachelfortnum Rachel Fortnum-Adams (@rachelfortnum) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia since Christmas our WiFi has been disgustingly bad. A few weeks ago I called yourselves and spent almost 2 hours on the phone. I upgraded our WiFi at home to the best possible WiFi we could have and yet it’s still shockingly bad. I’ve never known such shoddy service

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @krista_leia I don't know what to believe anymore, he told me on Sunday that Virgin Media were comping to fix it but it's now so bad i cannot even connect it. I can get wi-fi installed here just for me, but you usually need a phone line and the cost is going to be fairly high.

  • liam_garwood grwd 🦅 (@liam_garwood) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia I’m having issues with my email on iOS, please help

  • mr_plantgeek Michael Perry Mr Plant Geek® (@mr_plantgeek) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia I am having problems with google nest setup

  • Grovesy71 Darren Grove (@Grovesy71) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia contract changed last year, advised incorrectly by advisor, discussed with call centre & complained via your complaints procedure - no calls received to date to address from now over 1 month from complaint date #shockingservice for a loyal customer

  • BrunningLee Lee Brunning (@BrunningLee) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Look I've had two days of total crap from you guys. I just don't have the energy to deal with this anymore. You've took money off me wen u shouldn't. Because of covid I'm on less money so an extra 26 quid is massive to us,but all your guys keep doing is fobbing us off. 😠

  • WiseOlMurph Murph (@WiseOlMurph) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Anyone in Ipswich struggling with Virgin Media speeds currently? It’s awful paying all this money for absolute shite speeds.

  • BrunningLee Lee Brunning (@BrunningLee) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Who knows but certain people with in your team have been very flippant about our situation and trying to palm us off with a 20pound credit. This is nowhere near acceptable considering the stress and upset your so called customer service team has put us through.

  • positivesarah Sarah 'Morgenmuffel' Clark (@positivesarah) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Down again....

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I managed to get through on the other number as i had forgotten my old account no, the bill is paid and i now have an installation date. I appreciate your help.

  • rachelfortnum Rachel Fortnum-Adams (@rachelfortnum) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia I am actually so disgusted with your customer service for our WiFi that I have no words. How many times do I need to contact you? I’ve been a customer for 22 years and I’ve never experienced such a bad service #sortitout #virginmedia

  • rachelfortnum Rachel Fortnum-Adams (@rachelfortnum) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Eventually but the issue had taken 4 days to resolve which is shocking. Your customer service is the worst I’ve ever come across #virginmedia

  • liam_garwood grwd 🦅 (@liam_garwood) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia why is it so hard to get in contact with you? I can’t start a live chat and when I ring and think I’m getting some progress you tell me to look online and hang up????

  • ColletteLynn_ ¢σℓℓєттє ℓуηη мσσяє♥ (@ColletteLynn_) reported from Great Horkesley, England

    @Howard_Norton @Virgin I haven’t even managed to get through to @virginmedia yet despite multiple attempts and long holds to even comment on their actual customer service. The fact they are trying to charge me for something I have cancelled and haven’t used is beyond the joke already! #poorservice

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Sorry i will not be able to as it is the landlord who is the customer. Thanks though i appreciate it.

  • DanFigData Dan (@DanFigData) reported

    @virginmedia I was trying to engage some form of support as there had been issues with the service but they have been fixed (but the WhatsApp hasn’t)

  • JarmanKerry Kerry Jarman (@JarmanKerry) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, they said they would cancel her order and send an email confirming everything but true to form, no email has been received. She also needs a refund of £25 up-front payment. What do you suggest?

  • scoutsnigelt Nigel Taylor (@scoutsnigelt) reported

    @virginmedia I'm aware of this. My bill for my mobile phone goes to the email address you have closed down. I'm trying to get into my account to change my email but it won't let me!

  • Maczippy Neil Pennell (@Maczippy) reported

    @virginmedia 3rd outage this week. You guys suck. #virginmedia

  • EdwardsHimself Edwardshimself (@EdwardsHimself) reported

    @virginmedia My Internet is slow slow it’s taking almost 3hrs to download games from my steam library and I have a beefy laptop. Is there anything from your end you can do to boost the signal?

  • EduGuy2 Edu Guy (@EduGuy2) reported

    @virginmedia I have always had problems and nothing has ever been resolved. I want out of my contract for free, I have had enough of extremely poor speeds. My next visit is the ombudsman because Virgin Media obviously do not give a dam about their customers.

  • Ibrahim30276490 Ibrahim (@Ibrahim30276490) reported

    @virginmedia wifi has not been working at the promised speed for last 5 months now not working at all absolute rubbish customer service

  • JamboKS83 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇻 (@JamboKS83) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and I was supposed or have been called by a manager re my complaint. I've heard nothing. we need this resolved ASAP it is costing us more in paying BT still.

  • davidprince009 David Prince (@davidprince009) reported

    @virginmedia hi virgin, I need a new outside brown box to cover the fibre connection and want to discuss VOIP but I can’t reach you via phone, email etc. Can you help please?

  • McGuinnessKevin Kevin McGuinness 💙 (@McGuinnessKevin) reported

    @virginmedia @CicconeUK Yeah because being sent a new router will obviously fix their email problem!
