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

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

  • RWheelhouse1 rachel Wheelhouse 🇺🇦 (@RWheelhouse1) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

  • DjOoooosch CK|Fitness (@DjOoooosch) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia Please don’t conveniently close the live chat because you cut my phone and you’re having massive issues. The phone is my business phone and you are now liable for any missed work. Sort it out, shocking service.

  • leipperm m (@leipperm) reported from Braintree, England

    It's annoying that @virginmedia customer service refused to acknowledge this other persons details had some how been linked to my email with my bank account on their account.

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia no way of contacting you over cancelling my contract, lines are down. How do we speak to you?

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia Yes and I am doing it again now. No network issue has been found

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, done the reboot and pin reboot but still dropping out drastically. The speeds I was getting to the speeds I am getting is really bad

  • leipperm m (@leipperm) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia I just spoke to your customer service team a d was transferred to 2 different opperators before they just hang up on me with out resolving the issue .

  • RERomain Rachel Romain (@RERomain) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Ok so I need to arrange another visit I won’t be contacted? Can you see how bad this looks? Now I’ll be in London I need to arrange someone to be there to let an engineer in unless there is a smaller window

  • katiewoo26 katie lee (@katiewoo26) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia After spending 1 hour on hold, I gave up. I just want to order a booster for my broadband! Please help!

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Thank you I am going to try again via sales as managed to get through last night but was informed I need to speak to construction and they were closed. Complaint ref was/is C-030920566 Thanks for helping Mark

  • RohanAtaa Rohan Ataa (@RohanAtaa) reported from Great Notley, England

    @virginmedia @deantorris Why you guys don't have call back service?

  • DjOoooosch CK|Fitness (@DjOoooosch) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia How is it I can buy a new mobile phone from you yet I can’t speak to anyone about my current phone? Shocking and **** Customer care.

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yeah done that - no issues

  • hairydalek ⭐️ 🇪🇺 Paul ⭐️ Dunning 🇪🇺 ⭐️ (@hairydalek) reported from Writtle, England

    Sadly, the @horror_channel catchup service isn’t on @virginmedia , which is a total bummer.

  • raees_shah17 raees (@raees_shah17) reported

    @virginmedia F010544768 Now they moved the fix date to 28, it keeps getting moved and its been almost 2 weeks with no fix. Its frustrating

  • nofksgiven81 The man (@nofksgiven81) reported

    @PunishTheDuke @virginmedia Strap yourself in you are in for a bumpy ride, there is not a chance your service will be fixed by the date given, mines been broke for 6 months, good luck

  • ms_arsenal1988 danielle richards (@ms_arsenal1988) reported

    @virginmedia both my home pods aren’t working or responding to my router two hours I’ve rebooted and reconnected them and still both have a blue light but your charging full price for services I reported poor internet connection multiple times for the last two months no change

  • hwicky123 hwicky123 (@hwicky123) reported

    @virginmedia As I’ve stated, every troubleshooting test has been done at home. Just learned both neighbours in two adjacent buildings also having issues. Engineer came today and could not fix it and yet Virgin’s tech support there are no issues in the area.

  • GDR3formed Dylz ✍️ (@GDR3formed) reported

    @virginmedia Useless ***** fix your ******* service so I stop lagging on Pro Clubs

  • ErichtJohn JohnBoyle (@ErichtJohn) reported

    @virginmedia Just given last try AG, it rings on my landline but they clearly are not receiving my call. Very frustrating- given the time I will now leave and try again tomorrow morning- Thanks for trying to help. John

  • goodolway Steve B (@goodolway) reported

    @virginmedia Another poor service. The street was struck by lightning this afternoon. It has killed my landline. I have to wait until Tuesday for an engineer to fix the problem in the street. Then I am told the bill will be going up £15 a month. Absolutely shocking!

  • wickwar Hmmmm (@wickwar) reported

    @virginmedia was installed yesterday not seen a connection this bad since the 1990s modem crashed at least half a dozen times in 12 hrs due to SNR issues.

  • Oxfordwolf Oxford Wolf /\_/\ 🔶 (@Oxfordwolf) reported from Oxford District, England

    @virginmedia I've just received my price rise letter. Utterly extortionate! I will be calling you later to move providers. Your WiFi router is terrible as well. Perhapse my new provider will let me use the Internet more than 6ft away from the router?

  • stuuk1brum Stewart (@stuuk1brum) reported

    @virginmedia your service is shocking. My broadband has been intermittent and ridiculously slow for weeks. The status check says there’s an issue with my TV service but it’s actually the broadband. I will be raising an official complaint as finding your customer service poor.
