Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Chelmsford, England

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

  • onemistert Mr T (@onemistert) reported from London, England

    @jayrayner1 @virginmedia If the service isn’t down in the area then the fault could simply be resolved by restarting the hub. I guess you’ve done that already?

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yep that’s funny. Really is. Do you not think I’ve not tried ringing you & only can do so on my mobile as no landline remember, on hold up to 40 mins+ & then cut off. You try it. It’s impossible to speak to a real person. WORST SERVICE EVER👎🏻

  • jamesrfyoung James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

  • Tinalc69 Tina Clark (@Tinalc69) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia currently at 35 min for a online chat reply. Not a good start for a new customer with a query about delivery today!

  • Rosey_8 Barry Rose (@Rosey_8) reported from Brentwood, England

    @virginmedia hi could please let me know how I can cancel my contract ?? My bills are about £30/40 a month higher than most people I know

  • roxburghshire ifmcl (@roxburghshire) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia no internet for a week in SE23 Help line says ‘complex technical problems in your area engineers are working hard to resolve.’ It’s been a week!

  • OlaAgbaimoni Ola Agbaimoni (@OlaAgbaimoni) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Wow I’m shocked. Clearly a lot of people will have gadgets that can only support 2Ghz which was available as a separate SIDD on the hub 3. If you were not going to support it you owed customers forewarning of this fact.

  • JCherryAMES James Cherry (@JCherryAMES) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hi the internet is down in Eltham 21, all day and can’t run a test because you’ve sent me a hub 4 that doesn’t allow it!

  • andyfry andyfry (@andyfry) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia oh what a surprise the Internet is down again. If there was any alternative to Virgin in my area I'd be off like a shot.

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia down in se6 london? Can't access to your site even from the mobile

  • tosman30 Tom🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚒ (@tosman30) reported from London, England

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I’m sick of corresponding with virtual assistants. I need a real person to fix a real problem. Now.

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I just want 2 speak 2 someone that will sort issues out ASAP without holding for an hour & more. App chat is non responsive. Beyond frustrated by no phone or broadband & terrible backup help support non existent. How can I fix this or please just cancel as had enough now.

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hi intermittent broadband all morning now none at all and service status page not working? Se3 need ASAP as wfh

  • dominicjoyner Dominic Joyner (@dominicjoyner) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia - how do I report a specific problem with a TV service?

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia please respond and contact me to sort out my issues of no landline and broadband, your service is a nightmare & zero response or support from appchat. Not happy. #virginmedia @virginmedia

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • etherealmind Greg Ferro - A Simplicitarian (@etherealmind) reported

    @AndyDavies @virginmedia In this case it’s EE 4G in rural area. Sometimes I use Three 4G. I don’t bother with 5G, the range is so poor its not worth the hassle and extra antenna costs. Note: I am using a mounted external antenna. Makes a significant performance improvement.

  • DavidMa51132309 David Mat (@DavidMa51132309) reported

    @virginmedia Obviously not otherwise we wouldnt be having this conversation. The strange thing about all this is if you go to facebook there is a group for virgin media experience and there are more than 500 comments saying the same thing. Is it really possible to cancel?

  • The_Hird Have you Hird? aka Andrew (@The_Hird) reported

    @virginmedia it was cancelled by txt yesterday at0916. I have called today, she rebooted the router and said she'll call back to arrange a new appointment. of course not a peep that that was now 2 hours ago! it should be a complaint already but I doubt its been logged

  • th3nightking ben cumpsty (@th3nightking) reported

    @GBateson23 @youfibre @virginmedia If they’re not giving you the guaranteed speed, that may be grounds to leave with no held to terms, only thing is you gotta give them time to fix

  • Browbar1 Rob (@Browbar1) reported

    @virginmedia Well, yer service status checker isn’t working now either, are ye taking the proverbial now.

  • WhiteHartMart WhiteHartMart (@WhiteHartMart) reported

    @virginmedia so 6 months after agreeing a BB monthly cost and despite monthly complaints to your WhatsApp team and an ignored formal complaint direct you are STILL taking more than the agreed contract cost. Last chance to sort VM. @Ofcom

  • glanj_ Glenn (@glanj_) reported

    @virginmedia Install scheduled today, so I called on Monday (30 min call) to ensure wifi booster discs would be coming out with the engineer (assured they would be). Unsurprisingly, no discs today. I live in an old house, with terrible coverage

  • leahleahh Leah Shepherd (@leahleahh) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve tried that but it says I can’t cancel it online

  • BuNgLe_Ali Bungle (@BuNgLe_Ali) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia I can't raise a complaint surely this is breaking some rules and regulations?

  • gogowhippet Matt Rowe (@gogowhippet) reported

    @vmbusinesshelp @virginmedia Still intermittent and unstable so significantly affecting business usage. According to a collage of yours this is a known unresolvable fault caused by fundamental router and firewall issue caused the equipment you provided. Full refund and relice from contact has been agreed.
