Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Brighton and Hove, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Brighton and Hove and nearby locations:

  • mike_the_frog Mike Coombes (@mike_the_frog) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just been kept on hold for 40 minutes before finally speaking to a very rude and brusque operative who spent 5 minutes asking me to check the cables I’d already checked (I’m not stupid) before hanging up on me. Problem still not resolved. Appalling.

  • emxme Emma Mendes da Costa (she/her) (@emxme) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia After a total of hour and 15 minutes on the phone, @obscurenonsense was finally told that there is a known network issue affecting both wired and wireless devices in our area (BN3). We have not been given a time frame for its resolution.

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @theTunnelBear is there an issue using your service on @virginmedia - first time using their internet and I can’t access your website and my bear won’t activate (HTTPS error is thrown rather than a direct blocking notification) think @ThreeUK are also blocking your website

  • mike_the_frog Mike Coombes (@mike_the_frog) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia He said that the box needed replacing but didn’t have time to do it. My TV is unwatchable and your customer service is shoddy.

  • EL_FLOREZ_ END OF LEVEL BOSS (@EL_FLOREZ_) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I don’t have the number as it was withheld. But it was to our landline that no one has! Offshore from a busy call centre in India I think. Claimed to be looking after the lines and said our router had multiple errors (it has been slow recently) so sounded legit...

  • planetf1 Nigel Jones (@planetf1) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Though the annoying aircraft was that before Xmas we did a test which failed so got offered appt bit had to skip as away over Xmas. Back and still down (power light flashing green even after reset) and hub3 UI stats show no sync but test all ok

  • emxme Emma Mendes da Costa (she/her) (@emxme) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia As in the above tweets, @obscurenonsense has already been on the phone to your engineers for an hour. Our upload speed is close to zero, and there is a recurring network problem in our area. You have made working from home a complete nightmare.

  • clareypoos Clare Taylor (@clareypoos) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia Your site is an absolute joke. I spent over 90 mins this morning trying to speak with someone but was passed about, I only want to change my package as the service you provide is not worth the £72 I'm paying! Now you've just told me the servers are down! #cross

  • priyadeshingkar Prof Priya Deshingkar (@priyadeshingkar) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Broadband has been v slow for days and seems to be completely down today.

  • katestar Katie ⚔️ (@katestar) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia I've tried rebooting it several times, and checked the cables are all secure although noone has been home all day so they've not been touched and it was working before I left but not working when we got home at 4.30pm

  • mcoll72 Martin Coll (@mcoll72) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Poor handling of my complaint. Left without internet for 2 week when tried to move house with you. Was told that new address wasn’t covered when it was! took 2 days off work to sort! Compensation offered inadequate

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia family recently got your services and are having a sound issue which looking online is a problem that’s been around a while but I can find if you ever published a resolution - sound on V6 box cuts out intermittently for a moment in Dolby Ditial Audio programs

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia Hi - issue hasn’t resolved from reboot (didn’t appear to be an update). Also seeing very intermediate problems where programs freeze momentarily/blur (almost like on satellite when the weather gets in the way / when the hard drive was struggling to playback files)

  • emxme Emma Mendes da Costa (she/her) (@emxme) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Again, @obscurenonsense has spoken to your engineers already. It is a recurring, known issue that has stopped us working from home effectively. I feel like you haven't read our tweets properly.

  • LeanneChapman81 Leanne Chapman (@LeanneChapman81) reported from Newhaven, England

    @SkyHelpTeam so having done every test under the sun and spending 1 hour and 20 mins on the phone to the ‘help team’ I’m still suffering with pathetic WiFi and have to wait till Feb 4th for a visit! @virginmedia hurry up and come to Newhaven! #notimpressed

  • marmite22 Jesse Baker 🇪🇺 (@marmite22) reported from Hove, England

    Work from home specifically to go on an all day conference call and @virginmedia goes down. Unbelievable.

  • angel_isabel420 Angel (@angel_isabel420) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been so slow recently and now the hub isn’t working and have 0 internet. Help

  • planetf1 Nigel Jones (@planetf1) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia So knows need to call just odd behaviour and was hoping you get appt sorted yesterday. What did the broadband test actually mean if ok. Implies your network kit can access router which seems unlikely

  • qubyte Dr Mark Everitt (@qubyte) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yup, I’ve done that and run the test a few times. It all works when the WiFi is up, but when it’s down it can’t load the page anyway. Things connected with ethernet cables work fine, so the issue seems limited to the wireless network.

  • JMOC89 James Crouch (@JMOC89) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yea IL call again sit in a que for an hour and you guys will do **** all again I'm sure

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • barneyrach Rachel Barnes (@barneyrach) reported

    @virginmedia nice to know the complaint resolution staff in your chief executives office lie about the ofcom guidelines. Still owed almost £700 by the company. Utterly disgusted by the farcical excuse that is your customer service!!!!

  • ForzaRedArmy James (@ForzaRedArmy) reported

    Do @virginmedia ever answer their phones? 4 days in a row and waiting for over an hour each time and still no answer. Their online chat promises a message back within 4 hours. Still nothing after 4 days. This is how @virginmedia treat loyal customers

  • doylersofficial Michael Doyle 👑(C) (@doylersofficial) reported

    @ChesnoidGaming @virginmedia It sucks, I’ve got it in my student house and it’s supposed to be 100 download but I get like 34 with a WiFi connection and I’m right about the router

  • JoshHextall Josh Hextall (@JoshHextall) reported

    Would love to know how virgin can offer my mum 3 months free for internet and then proceed to charge her £100 and claim they have “no notes” regarding the 3 months free they offered @virginmedia absolutely appalling customer service.

  • h_rbond Hannah Bond (@h_rbond) reported

    Dear @virginmedia, 55 minutes and 8 seconds and still waiting to speak to someone! Please inform me how we can get internet connection given that it has been weeks with none and months with terrible connection!

  • R9Zeyrox R9 Zeyrox (@R9Zeyrox) reported

    @virginmedia please fix ur servers we buy the best wifi and have the shittest results honestly what is the point in paying if its ****.

  • SandyWoodxx Sandy Wood (@SandyWoodxx) reported

    @virginmedia The email@says I’ve updated my package, you are now charging me more and I still don’t have any TV as they mis sold this package without telling me I only get 1 box when actually I have 2! I’ve been a customer for 20 years and I’m absolutely LIVID.

  • manc1977 david matthews (@manc1977) reported

    @virginmedia yet another weekend broadband down and no one answering chat or phone line joke of way to run a company

  • stamfordstu DeadWing (@stamfordstu) reported

    Getting quite exciting now isn’t it folks? Will you get the vaccine before you get through to Virgin Media customer service?

  • xlr82u Tom Bordeaux (@xlr82u) reported

    @virginmedia second delay in sending out my new V6 box, sent the message the afternoon of the day it should have been delivered! Useless. Wishing I hadn't agreed to a new 18 month deal. Customer service not interested. Feel extremely dissapointed as a loyal customer of 4 years.
