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

  • pwingers Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia To be fair, the TV is better via Virgin and download speeds are good too (most of the time) but you fall down on broadband reliability, upload speeds and landlines costs.

  • pauldee74 Paul Dwyer (@pauldee74) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia 02038271376 is this one of your numbers been getting calls for 3 days saying there virgin and problem with my internet!!!

  • briggsym matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia how can I complain about internet reliability from your service. It has been appalling and inconsistent and seriously considering moving to another provider.

  • VenusEnvi VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia what’s the point of asking me to text when I’m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before I’m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

  • yas326 Yasir ( ̄(工) ̄) Khan (@yas326) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia It just says, it looks like you are having trouble connecting

  • jim_dawes James Dawes (@jim_dawes) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia service just gets worse and worse. 3 days with no TV service whatsoever, and now no Internet either in SE7. It's simply not good enough anymore. Your service has been declining rapidly for over a year. Sort it out please.

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Wow Virgin media TV services are down nationwide due to a power outage. That's an awful lot of compensation.

  • pinknblue Helen Dickens (pinknblue):) (@pinknblue) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia hello Merry Christmas. If any one is there today so you know 8f the e mails are down as from early this morning it keeps asking me to put in mu password and then not recognising it but won't let me re set either and I can't send or receive any e mails :(

  • bultifish Nick Bultitude (@bultifish) reported from Gravesend, England

    Hmm, #Skyglass is looking like a decent option if this #virginmedia outage becomes a habit.

  • MrChips2000 MrChips (@MrChips2000) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.

  • kellydyke08 Kelly **** (@kellydyke08) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

  • pwingers Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 100mbs download is fine, but 10mbs upload is silly in this age. It's too slow for uploading to YouTube.

  • alanburkittgray Alan Burkitt-Gray (@alanburkittgray) reported from London, England

    I have hardly ever heard a good word about @virginmedia service. Why is it so hard to fix?

  • MissFayeRay FClay (@MissFayeRay) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia hope you can help please! Our router is a hub 3. It has a constant red light. It’s not over heating, I’ve done multiple hard resets. Any suggestions? Do I need a new router?

  • 190Colditz 190Colditz (@190Colditz) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia The Broadband is down in our postcode. Your fault system says there is no fault and asking each resident to log a call out which is nonsense. DM me and I’ll give you full postcode so you can sort it out.

  • MissFayeRay FClay (@MissFayeRay) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia FYI - the service status on your website/app says there is no broadband issues, but when I go onto troubleshooting with intermittent WiFi, it says there’s a big problem in my area. Not overly helpful, have been trying for a couple of hrs to fix ourselves 🙄

  • pwingers Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have but the download speed is fine. The problem is that you peg the upload speeds down to 10mbs. We used to get that over copper cables. It's time to step it up a notch.

  • AdiStaempfli Adi Staempfli (@AdiStaempfli) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Rather loose a long-standing customer then?

  • AdiStaempfli Adi Staempfli (@AdiStaempfli) reported from London, England

    After 10 years with @virginmedia , & after weeks of terrible WiFi & customer service, I asked they equal BT’s deal. Operator could not do that and would not let me talk to manager, nor send a message for call back. I asked x3. Operator terminated call. Poor service!

  • pwingers Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Can anyone tell me why @virginmedia upload speeds are so slow? Downloads are fine but 10Mbs is ridiculous cw my friend's @BT network.

  • tryst_me It's starting to feel a lot like Trystmas (@tryst_me) reported

    Cool. Virgin Media contract is up, which means that I can yeet the phone and TV service I never use and go with a faster broadband only deal instead.

  • ginge003 🌈 💙 (@ginge003) reported

    @virginmedia A reliable WiFi would be great! Awful service over the past few weeks, absolutely awful! Working from home but can’t do my job properly because I can’t access what I need. Very very poor service for the money paid.

  • JustinBeale70 JB (@JustinBeale70) reported

    @virginmedia Wish you'd hurry up and switch on the service in my area the engineers said it should be live now

  • globalsoul5050 50 50 Show Global Soul (@globalsoul5050) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not a question of a certain part of the programming as a valued customer and paying a premium price I expect constituency of premium coverage through the 6 hrs. So the original question regarding compensation still applies. Thanks for replying.

  • elburto29 David Burton (@elburto29) reported

    @virginmedia I recently upgraded to 1gig fibre and the speeds I’ve been getting are terrible

  • Katebaggaley Kathryn Baggaley (@Katebaggaley) reported

    @virginmedia I’d like a response from your customer service team please. Only been waiting for 3 days!

  • Winn1Adrian Adrian Winn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Winn1Adrian) reported

    @st07pat @virginmedia Speed is fine mate, no complaints there, it’s fine for anything 3 meters away or less, like lightening! Any further though and 4G is the only way forward. The router have always been trash and I’m loath to pay to buy another to enjoy the signal I’m paying a lot for anyway

  • SimonHolliday13 Simon (@SimonHolliday13) reported

    @virginmedia I should probably go with new work out gear but honestly I'd prefer the hamper, never had a proper Christmas hamper before! 🎻🎻🎻🎅😷

  • GrumpyMans GrumpyMan's Reviews (@GrumpyMans) reported

    @virginmedia Not been funny but I want your internet connection to work properly that would make the kid's Christmas and yes you are aware of my issues for months only company that does firber in my area unfortunately

  • carbon_robert chiari fighter (@carbon_robert) reported
