Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Basildon, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Basildon and nearby locations:
-
Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia Phoned, and as expected; they can't just "put this right". The equipment and service are working fine. That the dish is broken and there is little slack to enable me to bury the cable deeper is due to local engineers. Will just have to dig trench, break cable and wait again!
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service
-
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?
-
Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia I'm sorry for the two poor support staff who are trying to sell us new remote controls, routers and O2 sims - for more money - till we hit the nuclear option and say we're leaving to get what we're asking? We're loyal customers; why does it need to get to that?
-
Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from Romford, EnglandOn phone to @virginmedia for 55 mins to cancel, speak to 4 different people about a mis-sold service and then when I ask them to produce my contract they hang up. Not happy.
-
Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee
-
Rachel Romain (@RERomain) reported from Chelmsford, England@virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃
-
Ben Rogers (@eviemae239) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.
-
jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Your customer service is the worst I have seen
-
Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandQ. What kind of moronic company thinks it enhances customer service by only allowing communication via WhatsApp on a phone? A. @virginmedia! @SkyUK here I come !
-
Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported from South Ockendon, England@virginmedia my wifi is terrible, how do i go about getting some boosters so that my signal is as strong as you promise? I can't access the app (thats another unresolved problem!) Also how do i go about receiving the £100 credit that you also promise? Thank you.
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?
-
Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia we have had no Internet or TV since yesterday afternoon/evening. Service checker seems down and unable to log into my virgin media as just spins or says unavailable SM1 1RB please advise.
-
Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England@virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead, can't make or receive calls. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England. @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄
-
charlie and Blossom (@LaurenLFlower) reported from Romford, England@virginmedia Hi I have an issue with my current plan? It says I’ve cancelled my O2 benefits but I never received the sim nor did I cancel.
-
Joseph Sweeney (@JosephS65112253) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandVirgin media Im going into my 5 week of no service with virgin media all they do is say we will investigate and nothing really poor service
-
Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported from South Ockendon, England@virginmedia somehow you have reset my Dad’s Virgin media box, LAN seems to be off and the wifi on it is back on. This is rubbish because we have network setup there with much better hardware than your box. Now none of it works and I am hundreds of miles from his house. Why?
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

Hannah (@GGNDRiRock) reported@leolionmark @virginmedia I have the same issue on my tv too. It’s shite.
-
Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia I would rather have no Internet or TV than go with Virgin! Probably the worst company in the UK (and India) but hope you get no issues!
-
Edward Hamilton (@epwhamilton) reported@virginmedia my hub is flashing green this evening. Reset is not helping. Area 31 I think but no issues shown on the site
-
Jenn Power (@Powerr27) reported@virginmedia When can we expect a fix? 5pm tonight is not acceptable.
-
Martinius (@Naish2Martin) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia I hope for your sake that you don’t get technical issues with Virgin. I changed to them twice from Sky, they were awful !
-
Colin Fenn (@ColinFenn45) reported@virginmedia I forgot to mention, during these low signal periods, when using okla speed checker download speed can be as low as 8mbps and upload often a little higher. Using the website fault checker does not register any problems , Colin.
-
Chris Lavis (@Tot181) reported@virginmedia @gblondon1 If only Kevin knew what a **** show you lot are as well….
-
Ian Lewis (@IanLewis299) reported@virginmedia Are your call centre staff incentivised to handle complaints? I've just had someone raise a complaint and resolve it, despite me telling them explicitly I did not want a complaint resolved. Seems sketchy.
-
Ian McWilliams (@macaz1977) reported@virginmedia your WiFi is terrible in the NE16 postcode. Can you have a look into it please?
-
Bryn (@bryn14181) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Like people have said you’ll be back to Sky within 2 years. Me and the Mrs had Virgin we were paying something like £87 a month for the full package come renewal price they wanted £213 a month for the same package claiming the £87 was a new customer only deal
