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

  • HunteLucy Lucy Hunte (@HunteLucy) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Not expecting a fault free service but an entire day with no Wifi when working from home is not acceptable in the slightest! The texts said some disruption not no service at all? Compensation is required!

  • KeithBursnall Keith Bursnall 🏳️‍🌈 (@KeithBursnall) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia been down for most of the day (thank god for @EE mobile data). No mention of local network issues.

  • _iancollier Ian Collier (@_iancollier) reported from Gravesend, England

    Hey @virginmedia why does it take sooooo long to call you guys? Spent 45 mins on hold waiting to be transferred to department who can help me with my phone line problem. I gave up. Help!

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia By all means better start reading up on the #badcusyomerservice I’ve had since 2020 about March? Virgin still hasn’t fulfilled it resolution agreement mad back in Nov 2020 and have had to chase and hound you with up to 7 calls as staff which should be able to, can’t get it right!

  • suzywotz ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia I truly have never experienced anything like this before , there’s gonna be a launch here soon … this router out my bloody window and I couldn’t give a toss where it touches down @richardbranson it certainly won’t be a safe landing where’s our service we are paying for ?

  • bludogsix Ethan Truss (@bludogsix) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia We haven't had a stable connection since January and our internet drops out at least 20 times a day. Your customer service line is anything but useful, as no one seems to be able to figure out the issue that is causing this consistently inconsistent internet service.

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

    @virginmedia They said this issue is affecting my connection as I seem to be connecting to 5 something not 2.4 ghz can anyone help.

  • ABSiddiki Abu Siddiki (@ABSiddiki) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Well…either an early cancellation or resolve the issue that I am having at your expense and not mine :)

  • 303marty Martin Donovan ⚒⚒ 🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@303marty) reported from Romford, England

    So Virgin How do I opt out receiving one of you hard of hearing not very pleasant slow on the uptake sales people calling me from somewhere East of here... @virginmedia

  • Dave_CAFC Dave Hammond (@Dave_CAFC) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia your platform is useless it is constantly going down how are people supposed to run businesses with such white #virginmedia #garbage

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia can you tell me why we had internet issues for the last three days which are now solved, but I still cannot get Netflix, iPlayer, Amazon prime video or Now Tv. I am sick of paying for extra tv services I cannot access. Would you like to refund me for these days?

  • HunteLucy Lucy Hunte (@HunteLucy) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia a text to say there may be disruption to services is not the same as no wifi or TV since 8am and not expected back on until 4pm?! Can’t speak to anyone on the phone either! Not acceptable especially when I am having to cancel important work meetings?! Furious!

  • KeithBursnall Keith Bursnall 🏳️‍🌈 (@KeithBursnall) reported from London, England

    No internet with @virginmedia and 5G down to a crawl with @EE - I shall have to take up@knitting!

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

    @virginmedia Omg this is ridiculous this has been since the 18th June.. I have such poor connection and I am wfh ? An engineer appointment to my house was booked but virgin cancelled? I can’t carry on like this for another week?….

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yeah and speak to a snr complaints Mgr which I’ve attempted 3 times, been promised a call back in 48 hours and each time never got one… seems like they’ve not been trained to use your own phones! #saynotobadcustomerservice

  • kanyonatic Mary (@kanyonatic) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia All anyone can say is there is an issue and it’s being fixed but they don’t know when

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

    @virginmedia Can you see if fix eta for fault F09107079 is Monday 12th July please

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

    @virginmedia Hi I called yesterday and was told my poor Internet connection is due to fault F009107079 even though this does not come up on the service status page? So I can’t track it and see when this will be fixed can you help?

  • c_vanadium0509 Claire Newton (@c_vanadium0509) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia any updates on the outage in SE London? What is the eta for resolution?

  • suzywotz ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia It appears it’s gotta be all our road .. surely others have reported an issue too hence it needs to be addressed rapidly lots of stressed and angry customers I’d imagine #notimpressed

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • OllieUTV Ollie Williams (@OllieUTV) reported

    @AVFCMidge I'm with Virgin Media and have been for years and had to jump through hoops a couple of years ago to get a decent deal with them. I even went to cancel and had signed up with BT before they agreed to drop their asking price on the, fairly basic, package which my mate had.

  • Soberlyrunning Sarah Colwell #FBPE (@Soberlyrunning) reported

    @virginmedia We have made the complaint using your form. When can we expect a response as we have waited 36 hours so far

  • Jonholland77 Jon Holland ⚒ (@Jonholland77) reported

    @virginmedia @richardbranson giving Virgin Media the 30 days cancelation period seems overly difficult. I'm going round in circles using their WhatsApp messaging service. Surely one click on a website or a request via email should be sufficient. It's 2022, come on!

  • welbymcroberts Welby McRoberts (@welbymcroberts) reported

    @virginmedia The messages are Text messages based. The request for no further contact was raised via 150, it was also relayed to both agents when canceling my service, and to your selves via twitter. My marketing preferences have also always been no contact.

  • optimusjrprime - (@optimusjrprime) reported

    @virginmedia bad enough having dropouts daily but to not get an ETA on a fix is crazy. if it’s going out at the same time daily it tells me it’s being taken out intentionally which makes me wonder why would they do that during peak hours? shocking, done with VM. thanks for trying to help.

  • Kawsarkhan925 Mohammad Khan (@Kawsarkhan925) reported

    @virginmedia horrible customer service, I had call to customer service and they had to transfer to 5 different colleague to cancel my contact which was just 1 month to end and actually put me in the queue for 97 minutes

  • S_21J FISTFULLOFBEARD (@S_21J) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried ringing this number. I have been waiting to get through for hours on end. It's ridiculous wait times to get through to an agent. Part of my initial complaint was exactly this problem

  • Greave17 Greave (@Greave17) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry - the problem is persisting again. 0.09 mbps upload speed now.

  • Lucilou101 Luci R (@Lucilou101) reported

    @virginmedia keep getting calls on my landline from Virgin (supposedly) telling me theres a problem with my internet speed and asking me to do things (but my internet is all fine and they dont ask account number/security etc), keep just hanging up but can you confirm its a scam?

  • phildown4 Phil Down (he/him) (@phildown4) reported

    @virginmedia I have just had my elderly father on the phone to me in tears about some SIM card being added to his package that he cannot cancel. He has called your customer service a number of times in past two weeks to get this cancelled but the team say no.#poorcustomerservice
