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

  • POWfitnessUK Matthew hirst (@POWfitnessUK) reported from Southall, England

    VirginMedia customer service is disgusting. Had loss of service for 6 weeks and now fixed refusing to pay compensation owed. You will be losing a customer in me.

  • calummew Calum Mew (@calummew) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia WiFi down in London N15 😫 Every time we call it simply tells us to restart our hub which we’ve done 12 times. How can we speak to a human being? Trying to work from home!

  • pauldurie p2.0 ✊🏻 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@pauldurie) reported from London, England

    @PippaCrerar @virginmedia If you're using a Virgin router I would buy another one as they're useless Main issue I found was they don't switch between 2.4GHz/5GHz very well If you want stronger signal then switch off 5GHz

  • CParkus Chris Park (@CParkus) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Not for internet. It seems to work for a bit then I have to reset the router every few hours. Have there been network issues around central London today?

  • dagadave David Elliott (@dagadave) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia maybe if you honoured your compensation scheme thst has been filed twice but you have still charged me full payment on last two months— pretty bad

  • adammcilrick Adam McIlrick (@adammcilrick) reported from Camden Town, England

    Hey @VirginMediaCorp and @virginmedia ... we waited for your engineer today - rearranged work schedules/meetings. Nothing. No call. No text. No email. No show! DM for our remedy number - this is absolutely #atrocious #customerservice. The #complaint will be escalated if no reply.

  • Joshbratt87 Joshua B (@Joshbratt87) reported from Camden Town, England

    As previously stated, anyone thinking of getting @virginmedia don't! They lie, never answer calls and don't turn up when promised. Utter crap from start to finish, all while their tax evading owner @richardbranson sits on some private Island reaping the benefits. Dog 💩 company

  • calummew Calum Mew (@calummew) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia Day 2 of no WiFi whilst trying to work from home. Day 2 of sitting on hold for hours with no one picking up. Have also texted the number and responses either abruptly stop or we are told we’re being transferred. Is there a nation-wide outage or something?

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia Yea I do that and it says to reboot my Hub 3. Which I do and then get 15mb for 2 mins and then back to 4mb. Can you please DM me with a link to online tech support because I've already wasted 3 hours this week trying to get through on the phone.

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have better things to do with my time than phoning @virginmedia The system should pick up on this. Virgin’s system is quick to chase me regarding the return of a bloody hub. Absolutely atrocious service.

  • dagadave David Elliott (@dagadave) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia no resolution-

  • dagadave David Elliott (@dagadave) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia no disrespect but going into my account just doesn’t work- especially when there in no mention of my appointment - it’s ok for your sales team to call me and agree an 18 month contract at more money but when i need help there is none

  • sbraganza Stan Braganza (@sbraganza) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia no internet in N14 since 1035am. Had to cancel work meetings. Compensation?

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The auto response system is terrible & apparently someone should have responded to my refund query & guess what? No one has bothered.

  • xenia_ina Xenia Messerschmitt (@xenia_ina) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia I have no Internet all day, and nobody is responding on message service and phone call. On messages I'm in the queue all day, and phone I just keep getting hung up after being on hold for an hour or so ... 😡😡😡😡

  • salaura101 Susan Clarke (@salaura101) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia New Hub 4 arrived during time when Virgin have low staff due to COVID. Keeps dropping out, difficult to work from home and no ability to contact Virgin! ‘Call Failed’ when phoning. Great planning by Operations Mgr. Customer nearly 20 years and want to leave! Fed up!

  • AgneseRovati Agnese Rovati ✨ English-Italian Translator ✨ (@AgneseRovati) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia hello? Are you there? Have been a Virgin Media costumer for literally 3 days and I’ve already got the worse service and am very disappointed by the overall experience. I’ve been trying to call someone from the customer service team since Friday to no avail...

  • ricardomarques Ricardo Marques (@ricardomarques) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia every single day we have problems with your broadband. Today is even worse, we don't have any connection at all.

  • realjonconnor 🔥Jon Connor (No not that one) (@realjonconnor) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia It's not even about that. Even when there are no faults. I still get lag and disconnection issues. Very frustrating

  • dkurland92 Donnchadh (@dkurland92) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia hey is there a problem with the internet in NW London it’s very slow today ?

  • yorkierich Yorkie Rich (@yorkierich) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. I rang & spoke to two lovely helpful people who were very helpful. 1) The unsolicited phone call does not appear to be a great way of communicating with customers. 2) The response from Twitter & your UK customer service desk was brilliant. I hope you can feed this back.
