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!
-
Mark 🏴 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?
-
Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported from South Ockendon, England@virginmedia It’s everything downstream of the LAN ports, so wifi on the box is on and working but all his wired network is offline. I have asked him to check all the cabling to make sure it’s all connected.
-
Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported from South Ockendon, England@virginmedia I have never been able to access the app. Its says i will receive an email to verify it but never arrives. Ive contacted virgin a few times but the issue doesn't get resolved!
-
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.
-
Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@PaulWelsh_UK @virginmedia There is no service. 26 November reported - 6th March earliest date for works.

DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia No as I look after an elderly lady with parkinsons on Thursdays which means she doesn't get to get out of the house if I don't see her. So it's booked in for Friday. What help doninhave till then? Or reimbursement? I'm free every day after 3pm & I'm free Tuesday all day
-
Mark 🏴 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandBe careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments
-
LES ⚒ (@PL13Les) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandWhat is going on with the horrific intermittent WIFI connection in SM5 for the past week. Website says there is a problem BUT have to wait til Friday for an engineer. Abysmal performance @virginmedia
-
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.

DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay £400 a year for a service, custome service agents are like robots and stuff you for days when it doesn't work with no alternative offered! @virginmedia

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 !

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.
-
Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia Of course. I’ve done everything required of me: I was told it’s caused by my home move and the disconnection due on 12th. Things seem to have been prematurely actioned affecting my signal
-
Nigel Rumsey (@nigelrumsey) reported from Gravesend, England@virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.
-
Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England@virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

-
Groupthink Blogs (@GroupthinkBlogs) reported@simonlevans @virginmedia They even admitted they did so. I remember trying to cancel my mum's contract 10 years ago, took me 2 hours. Most people would have given up.
-
Mystic Falls (@Avat_it) reportedVirgin Media. Why is my wifi not working again 3rd time in three weeks
-
Kingofsalemsdaughter (@salemsdaughters) reportedBBCs report on Virgin Media is 100% accurate. When I informed them that i had moved house to an area they did not cover they pushed me to stay until my contract ended. I had also had several technical difficulties to which they delayed any actions to fix the tech issues; what was the issue? i was unable to change my email. I call their customer service dep and neither of them were able to help me. This happened on several occasions Where i had to wait WEEKS for very easy to solve problems. @virginmedia
-
Frazzz (@FrazzzYT) reportedInternet is down for days in my area. Where do you claim compensation again? Cause the button for that is conveniently missing @virginmedia
-
Steven Porter (@ste_porter) reported@virginmedia I've resigned up for a new 24 month contract on 10th June (contract expiring 5th july). And when I now log in you tell me my contract has expired. Always find your customer services so bad. Please fix - I have my order confirmation and contract details.
-
Corax (@Refan80) reported@virginmedia you are down in my area yet again. I get pushed to WhatsApp to chat about the problem and you don't reply to me there. Your service has been getting steadily worse. I doubt I will renew with you when the contract is up.
-
Bill (@Bill72156026) reported@IrishTimes What a joke. Would it actually be missed if it was wound down? Would virgin media be missed it it was wound down ? Only by the government. It’s clear from their own statements that they promote the government narrative while deliberately avoiding to challenge or question the government.
-
Stuart Green (@KillaScorp) reportedIs there a company in existence with worse customer service than @virginmedia? Great product, as long as nothing goes wrong and you have to deal with someone!
-
CursedRaindrop (@CursedRaindrop) reported@Ofcom Virgin media are the worst company I have ever had to deal with. It was a nightmare to have broadband with them, constantly unable to go online and never any compensation. When I finally managed to cancel they sent a £250 bill for leaving. Never again
-
Turkish_187 (@turkish_187) reported@Ofcom The worst experience I have ever had was signing up for @virginmedia and then trying to extricate myself from them. Took months and months and hours and hours of my time that I won’t get back. So glad to see this news. The irony was they never even connected me. Shambles.
