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

  • nicocary Nico Cary (@nicocary) reported from Cobham, England

    @joshshepherd88 @virginmedia @vmbusinesshelp Looks pretty simple to me tbh. Sell a service and just ignore customers. I feel sorry for the staff that have to try and run this **** show. They must get so much abuse. I’m not even mad I’m just disappointed that I can’t use the service I’m paying for. 3 months of this 💩

  • Spinnofflondon Spinnofflondon (@Spinnofflondon) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I pay more for that not part of your service that I’m paying you for every month

  • JKDabrowska Cllr Joanna K Dąbrowska 💙 (@JKDabrowska) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia LS, just tried to send a text to your CS and the number is invalid. Is this a scam? @virginmedia charging £49.50 for a worse service than ever before and no working landline.

  • Paul_Matuszczyk Paul Matuszczyk (@Paul_Matuszczyk) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia what brilliant technology utterly soured by almost comically bad customer service. I say “almost” as there’s nothing funny about taking 5 weeks, countless phone calls, endless hours of online chat & 2 formal complaints to just get my bill right. Not asking much.

  • aejazk Jazzhk (@aejazk) reported from Bromley, England

    @th4tguy92 @virginmedia Do you have the Hub 4. I think it’s a hub 4 is crap or VM engineers can’t control it. Let’s try the number they have given.

  • JKDabrowska Cllr Joanna K Dąbrowska 💙 (@JKDabrowska) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Can I please DM you on this issue?

  • noneybean Antje Southern (@noneybean) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Hello anyone there? Could you please reply to my last message? As my landline is not working and there is no email support it seems Twitter is the only other way to get hold of Virgin Media. Please advice how to get hold of customer services not 0345 as too expensive

  • MisterBoote Neil C Boote (@MisterBoote) reported from Ealing, England

    So our education system & business activity now utterly reliant on solid, fast, reliable internet service that market consistently fails to deliver. @virginmedia down again this am. Time for state to take control of this crucial, strategic infrastructure. Really is a joke ATM.

  • MirinaFaria 🏀Little Apple🍎Miri (@MirinaFaria) reported from Bromley, England

    Can’t wait till I get to cancel my @virginmedia contract and move to BT. I mean selling me 200Mb internet and not even delivering an average of 10Mb is not cool right! I mean imagine all the people that pay for the same service but don’t know how to measure it!? Right!

  • vorny_twts matt 🇮🇳 (@vorny_twts) reported from Merton, England

    This zoom call keeps crashing **** off @virginmedia

  • TobyTryTri Toby Willis (@TobyTryTri) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia it great to know we pay for broadband & you really struggling to provide! I’ve had speed issues since mid Jan. U acknowledge there was a fault on 8th Feb! Said it was fixed but engineer (who came today) said wasn’t & web page wrong! Won’t be fixed till 15th! Tonight

  • TobyTryTri Toby Willis (@TobyTryTri) reported from Bromley, England

    Service completely down at present again!! So @virginmedia what are you going to do!

  • DemeryUK Daniel Emery (@DemeryUK) reported from Richmond, England

    @browntoby @virginmedia My wife works at a well known provider. The biggest discounts are available from ‘retentions’ i.e tell them you want to cancel and you can sometimes get over 1/3 off your bill.

  • JKDabrowska Cllr Joanna K Dąbrowska 💙 (@JKDabrowska) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Is that the terminology? As I said I don’t wish to discuss it on Twitter. Think a complaint is now in order and a cancellation request.

  • Goldenlocks Estelle Levacher (@Goldenlocks) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia hello, we are unhappy with our broadband. It’s bad as my husband and I are both WFH and my Teams calls are regularly interrupted. We have the highest broadband package available and pay over £100 a month so it’s clearly unacceptable. Please send an engineer ASAP!

  • AnnieLouLDN Annie Lou (@AnnieLouLDN) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia I want to use your app, I really do but I can’t create an account as my acc no (as found on top right of my paper bill) is only 8 digits. And not the 9 you require. Why is using your service so difficult? And my internet connection so rubbish? PS. I can count!

  • DJ_Jamesie Jamesie (@DJ_Jamesie) reported from Islington, England

    @PaulJoh30516408 @virginmedia Real shame as the broadband is good. The engineer was a really nice fella too. Just the phone customer service...

  • JKDabrowska Cllr Joanna K Dąbrowska 💙 (@JKDabrowska) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia I did call. One chap was very helpful and referred the poor broadband service and a faulty landline for two years to @Ofcom and the latter chap was not very helpful. Would you stay and have your monthly fee go from £28.50 to £49.50?

  • MirinaFaria 🏀Little Apple🍎Miri (@MirinaFaria) reported from Bromley, England

    Wouldn’t it be nice if @virginmedia actually delivered the service they get paid for!? And when you called to talk to them they actually answer or when you go on the offered live chat you’d get a person and not a robot!? Yeah me too. #worstservice #virginmedia

  • JKDabrowska Cllr Joanna K Dąbrowska 💙 (@JKDabrowska) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Just spent an hour on the phone to yourselves, not only is the service going to be referred to @Ofcom due to frequent drops in the service + no LL, but you can’t offer me a 12mth contract insisting I have 18mth. Well, I might take up @SkyTV’s offer reluctantly. #Ealing

  • OpinionMachine2 stable-genius (@OpinionMachine2) reported

    @virginmedia I just got a text from an unknown number claiming to be you and telling me you’re switching me to a fibre service and you’re going to send me an adapter to connect my phone to my Hub. Is this for real? Is this a thing you’re doing? Everything about it feels scammy.

  • stac_stace Stac (@stac_stace) reported

    @virginmedia Still not had a call back So I’m sure you can see why I’m frustrated now!! Now I am going 2a new provider, u can take your equipment& leave me alone it’s terrible what yous have done to me I want all MY calls listened 2 & manager call I’ve been promised!!

  • NatashaSefton Natasha Sefton (@NatashaSefton) reported

    @virginmedia our WiFi is down again and has been since the early hours and no one can give me an ETA on how long for? Absolutely fed up of this shocking service.

  • Basher91Basher Bash Taylor (@Basher91Basher) reported

    @virginmedia what’s the best way to cancel my subscription as I’m sick of the wifi failing constantly and I don’t wanna be charged the stupid amount anymore but cant seem to get in contact over phone

  • SharBella72 Bella (@SharBella72) reported from Sunderland, England
