Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Barking, England

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

  • DavidcMoynihan David Moynihan (@DavidcMoynihan) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia This is not about individual accounts but a whole neighbourhood looking for an adequate response from you on this issue. We don’t think it’s reasonable to have to wait 6 more days for an engineer to fix when everyone is in lockdown/working from home. Can your response be quicker?

  • MrsCNightingale Clare Nightingale (@MrsCNightingale) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia my hub 3 is not showing up for WiFi and I can’t get any help from you?? Only been with you for 2 months.

  • CameraCairns Mark Cairns (@CameraCairns) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I have been on your SMS 'help' for several days now and getting nowhere. Keeps saying it will refer me to the correct team but that never happens. Going to give your 'Broadband' one more try with a new router if I can never get through to you....

  • Mark_Phillips66 Mark Phillips (@Mark_Phillips66) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Your phone line told me you are working in our area and that signal will be affected until 3pm. Completely unacceptable.

  • DavidcMoynihan David Moynihan (@DavidcMoynihan) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia @TweetingKatzo If this is the case - what is our package of support / remuneration etc?

  • wishforsnow1980 Leebee1980🇳🇿🇦🇺🇬🇧 (@wishforsnow1980) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia What is going on?? My wifi has been down for an hour and I’ve missed 2 meetings! It’s PS5 launch day tomorrow, I NEED WIFI!!

  • CameraCairns Mark Cairns (@CameraCairns) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I have been on your SMS 'help' line for several days now and have yet to be referred to the correct 'team'. If I cannot order a new router soon I am just going to give up and book the BT guy. I thought a Virgin was something that was NOT ******!

  • DScilly David scilly (@DScilly) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia in Islington and have just been booted off a call on an internet issue after being on hold for 90minutes. Only two songs (both awful) as hold music is about the end of my tether. Try picking up the phone. Feel like I’m in the 1940s!

  • Kevin_Panther Kevin Panther (@Kevin_Panther) reported from Swanley, England

    Genuinely think I’ve got the worst WIFI in the country. @virginmedia #Pathetic

  • stephengiles14 Stephen giles (@stephengiles14) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia my service is intermittent and cannot connect to the hub, just not great I have tried to call you but no one is working on the call centre!

  • globalbribri Brigitte RicouBellan (@globalbribri) reported from Paddington, England

    Virgin Media upload 0.5 Mbps (Vs. a 30Mbps + promise) since 13/11. No fix in sight in spite of @virginmedia having acknowledged our pb, at a time where having a decent internet service in your home is a matter of life & death.

  • DavidcMoynihan David Moynihan (@DavidcMoynihan) reported from Hackney, England

    @TweetingKatzo @virginmedia A large proportion of residents are in contact with each other on this and the few that that have waited an hour plus on calls have been told this. We know we are are dealing with the same issue (as timing of loss of connection is concurrent amongst us all)

  • StMirrenDaft Ian Williamson (@StMirrenDaft) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia what's going on in N4? Internet is down constantly

  • HeyEmJude Emma Jude Harris (@HeyEmJude) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia It’s now saying November 19th for one of two issues and 18th for something to do with tv. Considering I haven’t had WiFi since last Wednesday this is outrageous.

  • strutcakes Chris 🇬🇧🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@strutcakes) reported from Lambeth, England

    Translation: “If we want more money off you we’ll bend over backwards. If you try to leave us, we’ll make it as difficult for you as possible.” I’m now even more determined to terminate my contract. @virginmedia

  • Mark_Phillips66 Mark Phillips (@Mark_Phillips66) reported from Camden Town, England

    Great. @virginmedia ‘Improving service in my area’ by cutting broadband signal without notice. Makes working from home near impossible. Awful company.

  • CameraCairns Mark Cairns (@CameraCairns) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Day 4 on the SMS 'help' line. Endless endless repeats of 'lets get you through to the right team'. PLEASE GOD JUST SEND ME ANOTHER ROUTERRRRRR!!!!

  • claire_vale Claire Vale (@claire_vale) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia I’ve run the test and it says there is no issue?

  • strutcakes Chris 🇬🇧🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@strutcakes) reported from Lambeth, England

    .@virginmedia amazing that when I want to talk to someone about moving house or changing my existing package, your team are more than willing to chat to me. When I get transferred to the team to disconnect my services and cancel my contract I get hung up on after 25 mins on hold.

  • GreenParr Aaron Parr (@GreenParr) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia It’s been every week since March but never for over 24 hours at a time. I’ve booked and cancelled engineers multiple times because I can’t risk losing my hub for repair

  • raaleh Riley Coin (@raaleh) reported

    @virginmedia I have raised a complaint, but I want to understand (a) exactly how many days Virgin Media believes I did not have internet, and (b) how much money per day Virgin believes I'm owed. This should be on your systems, according to Paul (who I spoke with on Sep 26).

  • Tigers4Ever2010 Tigers4Ever (@Tigers4Ever2010) reported

    @virginmedia If we have a signal, yes!

  • aliheath2000 Alison Heath (@aliheath2000) reported

    @virginmedia we are a new customer trying to organise broadband and four times now we have been given a price only for the contract to come through wrong. Either the wrong price or things missing.Ready to cancel before we’re even set up. Not impressed at all!!

  • tinamkrugielka TMK (@tinamkrugielka) reported

    Looking to upgrade my BB as an 8 years loyal customer with @virginmedia since work from home requires a better speed. New customer gets the package for £39.99 I was offered a discounted £58. Nothing like reassuring the loyal customers that they’re valued! #ripoff #cancelvirginbb

  • Kirtley1Graeme Graeme Kirtley (@Kirtley1Graeme) reported

    @virginmedia @mcapplewindows But 13.8% is way WAY above inflation, never mind thinking of yourselves, think of your customers, I actually gave you notice to disconnect, it was only when you realised I was deadly serious you came back with an offer, full package, best broadband, Netflix, the whole caboodle !!

  • intermax intermax #FBPE #FPHD #RejoinEU 💙 #FBPPR (@intermax) reported

    @hutch__man In our road we have two full-fibre networks, Community and G-Network, and a third on the way, Hyperoptic. We also have Virgin Media but BT can only provide FTTC. Meanwhile, other places can barely get ADSL. Ridiculous barely regulated shambles @Ofcom

  • XMoisBackX Mo🌐 (@XMoisBackX) reported

    @virginmedia Hello I opened a new account and can’t even login to check bills as it says that You couldn’t find my details called you to fix the issue and not even fixed.

  • emkel19 emma (@emkel19) reported

    @virginmedia The link just goes to the virgin sign in page? Where do I find the chat?

  • SimonWi69754987 Code Black (@SimonWi69754987) reported

    @virginmedia I'm just now seeing in the data specifically why your increase is so high. I'm not a customer, so not affected. My data, internet, phone, Comms bills are the only ones reducing or staying the same for me in 2023.

  • samwarb Sam Warburton (@samwarb) reported

    @virginmedia my contract ended on my broadband. New customer offer for same speed was £25 p/m, I asked for £30 p/m got told the best is £32 for a loyal customer of 10 years. You lost a customer for the sake of £2 p/m Goodbye @virginmedia , hello @TalkTalk !
