Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Chelmsford, England

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

  • BancoDePapa グラハム・スミス® ©Official (@BancoDePapa) reported from London, England

    @TfL why is the 4G signal on the Central line underground only around the posh area's of Notting Hill Gate, Queensway and Holland Park? Since @virginmedia stopped their WiFi in April it's annoying that a major metropolis like London has no internet connections on a lot of lines

  • WilsonJevelyn Dr Jan Evelyn-Wilson (@WilsonJevelyn) reported from London, England

    @VirginMedia wi-fi just cut out AGAIN! Annoying when one is in the middle of something. WHY!

  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from London, England

    @ameehan71 @virginmedia All new and reconnected. 200mb then next day nothing, comes on for a day then drops to 10mb. Talk to customer service and they don't have a clue. They also want over £400 for me to leave. Worst service I've ever known

  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from London, England

    So @virginmedia won't let me leave our contract despite their service continually crashing or not providing the speed it promises. Ultrafast broadband but getting nothing or 9mb download. Fed up with it now. Avoid them at all costs. #VirginMediaoutage #broadband

  • shah4569 Shah 🦅 (@shah4569) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia All these problems. But still fleecing money from us.

  • shah4569 Shah 🦅 (@shah4569) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia bring back customer service to the UK. Philippines is a joke!

  • BancoDePapa グラハム・スミス® ©Official (@BancoDePapa) reported from London, England

    I wonder if anyone has a #skyglass connected to a #virginmedia broadband? At least with #SkyQ your TV service will be unaffected

  • MelanieHart72 Melanie Hart (@MelanieHart72) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia You have put my bill up from £84 to £96 in one month and you are not providing a service I should have my full services 24/7 for that price and getting any compensation it like getting blood out of a stone !!! Disgusting service

  • Lisa2672 Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡

  • Lisa2672 Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  • Lozraus Rex (@Lozraus) reported from London, England

    @_MxMike @virginmedia It’s been down for us since 1am 😫

  • Mustxkim Mustakim. (@Mustxkim) reported from London, England

    Virgin Media moving weird. My wifi is working but for certain things. YouTube, IG, Disney+ is all fine but Safari, Twitter and other apps ain’t working. Fix up man. I ain’t paying all this money for daily issues @virginmedia

  • farnsworth_adam Adam Farnsworth (@farnsworth_adam) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s appalling they can act so quickly What about the speed issue?

  • joybrenda Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia help why have you made it so difficult to log a landline vault on line. Need to call, as line out of order since friday. I am certain it's systems fault as display message I have seen on previous occasions.

  • RogerHighfield Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia My broadband is down again - area21. Any idea of when it will be fixed?

  • LutherB40510976 Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia can you give me a direct number to call to cancel my contract. I've used whataspp / webchat and spoken to two people in last 24 hours - but to no avail.

  • LutherB40510976 Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what is the number for your complaints department? It seems impossible to actually terminate my contract with you. Am I in the Hotel California?

  • GoonerGrizzly grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  • RogerHighfield Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia, your app does not seem to think there's a problem with the internet in area 21. I think different. Can you check?!

  • GoonerGrizzly grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  • No_Bikers The EA 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🇮🇱 #FBAH (@No_Bikers) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, there was nothing listed. However I discovered via local media there was a major outage near Dumbarton, however there was nothing on the website or app. The call centre didn't know either. Lasted most of the day. Pretty poor Comms.

  • ThomsonEdwint Ed Thomson (@ThomsonEdwint) reported

    @virginmedia why have you changed the way I access my account on trying to login into Virgin Media? You are asking for a second e mail address to access! I don’t have one . No other options.

  • CraigMansfield0 Craig Mansfield (@CraigMansfield0) reported

    @virginmedia no communication on outage in Dumbarton from virgin media directly. Outage since 12pm. What is going on

  • dishesrdone74 Chris Denton (@dishesrdone74) reported

    @virginmedia my skysports app is not working. It asks me to sign in then verify my email address then won't let me in? Help please.

  • aquarius16th Neil Walley💙🇺🇦 (@aquarius16th) reported

    @virginmedia having completed the recent security update, I am unable to login to skysports app via the virginmedia 'button' on my android tablet as the link is not working. Any ideas?

  • Lindalou0207 Linda Lou (@Lindalou0207) reported

    @virginmedia sort out your links on the new My Virgin Media and My 02, the verification email takes ages to come through and the passkey link doesn't work, an hour of my time wasted trying to verify my account.

  • Amanda20125308 Amanda Beesley (@Amanda20125308) reported

    Worst customer service ever from @O2 Raised a complaint, several weeks later they tried to contact me but I was driving so they closed the complaint!!!! And all of this is due to the incompetence of the staff at the Livingston branch 😡 @virginmedia

  • RobRollin2 Audere Est Facere (@RobRollin2) reported

    @Tramzadol @virginmedia @VodafoneUK Honest i think the constant time changes are pissing me more than the actual outage! Its crazy bad!. Have you done the compo thing online? Make sure you do mate.

  • RobRollin2 Audere Est Facere (@RobRollin2) reported

    @Tramzadol @virginmedia Honest its a joke. Never had a issue with @VodafoneUK , i need to beg forgiveness and go back ASAP!!!!.

  • Phil0266 Phil Halshaw (@Phil0266) reported

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia it is now over 2 days since I have been unable to login in to my virgin media account or access Sky Sports via the Sky Sports App or via internet. When will this be fixed and where is the communication explaining the fault.
