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

  • mizznansea Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    So trying to cancel @virginmedia services and the stalling tactics being used are not cool. If customers want to leave they have every right to do so. Let them go.

  • mizznansea Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @TracyWoodley4 @virginmedia @Virgin Their service has certainly gone down hill and this issue with the call centre is a complete farce. If they can't even get their own internal systems sorted as a telecomms company what hope do we have? My contract is up in March and I will defo be leaving Virgin.

  • willhenrywarren William Warren (@willhenrywarren) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @trickythecat Will affected users get a refund for the lack of service? We haven't had internet for a week.

  • Veganforever67 Vegan join the PCS Union (@Veganforever67) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia #virginmedia spoke to a very nice lady today from Virgin media who wanted to know why I was leaving Virgin after 10 minutes of me complaining on how bad Virgin has been extending my contract and all sorts of things she did apologise but I said it wasn't her fault

  • PIPPAaM Pippa Moss (@PIPPAaM) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia we've had atrocious broadband on SE26 4HN for weeks now, it just keeps dropping out and then coming back. I have just had my bill and I'm not really feeling we should have to pay for the service we've had this month.

  • MSROPER10 S (@MSROPER10) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Its magically started to work on ethernet but it's not giving out a WiFi signal? What is going on?

  • CouchPotatoUK Wesley Hammer ⚒️ (@CouchPotatoUK) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia for a media company that sells amazing broadband, your website is terrible. Just goes in circles, doesn't let you change packages online. Terrible.

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

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline again day 3 of waiting for package spoke on webchat kept getting told its coming today + check tracking but tracking saying was delivered yesterday! another day wasted and taken off work yodel please help! I just need to know its coming today and a time

  • marianmartinart Marian Martin (@marianmartinart) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia the WiFi here has been awful for the last few months, we've been on the same router for twelve years now, is there anything you can do to help?

  • mizznansea 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.

  • MSROPER10 S (@MSROPER10) reported from London, England

    @cameraoncaught @virginmedia Have you forwarded this to Virgin media internal complaints? In my opinion Virgin have one of the worst customer service teams around but it may reach someone who can act upon internally.

  • Veganforever67 Vegan join the PCS Union (@Veganforever67) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I think I may actually be free from #Virginmedia at last other times I phoned up I got someone who just basically lied to me and extending my contract but this time I phoned up to cancel the contract and actually spoke to a very nice man so hopefully it's all done

  • PIPPAaM Pippa Moss (@PIPPAaM) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia They keep saying an engineer is coming to fix it. It's down again this evening. 😠SE26 4HN

  • mizznansea Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @virginmedia Yes he left a name & phone number, said I should I let him know if I still have issues. I've contacted him 3 times including this morning since his visit last Friday.

  • KikassP kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    I've just had to suffer the same 4 songs,1 a poor cover of 'Where my Rosemary goes', on a loop, in 2,45 mins of waiting for @virginmedia to pick up. Within 10 mins of engineer fixing fault, its playing up again. Its also the end of my contract so I want to deal with it.

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

    @virginmedia hi nope just saying unavailable at this time which is no help! working all week so now have to plan to work from home incase the update is its coming tomorrow!!! was all going good just yodel a nightmare! when there updated at 21.15 last night it said 15.00! so lied there!

  • SeasideAPNP Liam Stanley💙 (@SeasideAPNP) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @AnnG50707311 @virginmedia I always haggled with them and got them to come in at new customer prices. Surprising what they will give you when you let them think you are leaving. Also let them know what other companies will offer you to become a customer as they may match the offer

  • mizznansea Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have also been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

  • feyipuk 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?

  • marianmartinart Marian Martin (@marianmartinart) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It says there aren't any known issues but we have been struggling with it for the last few years - the service is just getting worse!

  • DarrenKeen1 Darren Keen (@DarrenKeen1) reported

    @virginmedia Took a retention deal yesterday with the agreement someone would come out and fix my TV Box (channels showing static) after being let down by 2 appointments not happening in the past. Waited in 12 - 4 as instructed, and no one shows! Can you please sort this out??

  • SLone90 Shahid Lone (@SLone90) reported

    @virginmedia No service issues in the area that I know. It's really hard to call or chat with customer service, so can't even talk to them and it's really annoying.

  • aguidetolondon Sophie Campbell (@aguidetolondon) reported

    @virginhelp @Virgin @virginmedia PS It’s actually v rare this happens with Virgin these days, service so much improved, so was being patient!

  • ashpatzz Ash Patz (@ashpatzz) reported

    @virginmedia your representative Sudhanva is very rude and did not manage to resolve my query. Useless. I will be contacting ofcom

  • superwanderer1 gary charnley (@superwanderer1) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately we have to wait for service to come back

  • Gintare68556342 Gintare (@Gintare68556342) reported

    @virginmedia But that's not solving the issue, that's repeating same details million times over and no one seems to be able to help.

  • PerfectAngel_xo Danielle Willis (@PerfectAngel_xo) reported

    @virginmedia @ItsBigZuu Please stop these dramatics and just fix your internet

  • NovaWasHappy Nova 🇬🇧 (@NovaWasHappy) reported

    Everyone freaking out because virgin media is down I’m use to it at this point :(

  • omegawill Victorian Ghost Wretched Beast Going "Aahh!" At TV (@omegawill) reported

    @virginmedia - hi! I can't access "my apps" on the website, was just wondering is this down in general or is it because our service hasn't started yet
