Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Merton, England

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

  • FelicityJBee Felicity Bainbridge (@FelicityJBee) reported from Poplar, England

    Disgraceful customer service by @virginmedia - 15 min wait to discuss £20 increase in bill with no comms. RUDE staff ‘I don’t care if you want to leave’, immediate transfer and 15 more mins of music... APPALLED. #CustomerService #fail

  • gborg9 Gino Borg (@gborg9) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia blocked my mailbox on 23rd .. numerous 30min phone calls later, and patronising responses, fake promises of call backs ... mailbox is still unavailable.. shockingly awful customer service .. disgusting.

  • aarongrantham aaron grantham (@aarongrantham) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia No, as I explained, it appears to be no longer a problem. I am less concerned with a fault occurring; that happens. I am more irritated by a lack of notification of the change, no response to my call and your lack of acceptance of their being a problem.

  • Louisblack Louis Houghton (@Louisblack) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia I phoned up today to find out why I was paying £50 a month for internet when a new customer pays £35. I was basically told to accept it so I think I’ll look at moving to @SkyUK for £27 a month.

  • soniagrosvenor1 soniagrosvenor (@soniagrosvenor1) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Still awaiting reply from Lutz Schuler @virginmedia , chief executive, re numerous complaints re incompetent staff @virginmedia. Lousy customer service!

  • scottyboy1973 Scott Brindley (@scottyboy1973) reported from Ilford, England

    @adelarks @GemMcK13 @virginmedia Just cancel your contract if you're not getting the service

  • richie_b_80 Richie Berryman (@richie_b_80) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia my broadband connection has been down all day! Help! I have reset and done the troubleshooter tool

  • followcbv Madhan (@followcbv) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia still waiting as one of your operator went to check something with accounts team after 3 hrs on hold. Still not giving up... as I wanted to cancel contract due to their #priceIncrease #watchdog

  • soniagrosvenor1 soniagrosvenor (@soniagrosvenor1) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Looking at numerous other tweets complaining about @virginmedia and there appalling customer service and useless complaints department!!!

  • gborg9 Gino Borg (@gborg9) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia I have done multiple times ... by phone and by chat ... the Indians helpful but useless, the British patronising and rude

  • Lonmark1980 Markie (@Lonmark1980) reported from Bromley, England

    So annoying at @virginmedia internet had gone down!

  • scottyboy1973 Scott Brindley (@scottyboy1973) reported from Ilford, England

    @tinytwink @virginmedia Not the rubbish customer service line, wish you luck

  • scottyboy1973 Scott Brindley (@scottyboy1973) reported from Poplar, England

    @Ofcom @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog Virgin Media, you are the worst! Offering me a paltry £20 compensation for 10 days of total service loss. You deny it was a total loss not intermittent so I am not eligible for Ofcom compensation! False! #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice

  • flowergirl_lon Flower Girl London (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @Leearna6 @suz_rudnik @virginmedia Ofcom compensation is £8 a day for loss of service but they don’t pay it until service is back on... defo chase it up as it’s the law now not just a customer service / good will gesture. As soon as you are reconnected it should be applied to next bill.

  • aarongrantham aaron grantham (@aarongrantham) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia very irritating. Sky sports golf is dead on Virgin 515:ladies open appears to be on sky mis 520. Tried to phone vurgin. Held for 16 minutes then gave up. Terrible.

  • aarongrantham aaron grantham (@aarongrantham) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia It’s working now, the point is that it wasn’t working when the women’s open was on yesterday with no warning or redirection. I tried to get help and was waiting 18 mins (timed). And by the way not the first time virgin randomly change the description or the channel.

  • lambertusc Lambertus Cornelius (@lambertusc) reported from Merton, England

    @Camclarky @virginmedia Get out Cameron, Sky is a superior service in every aspect. I am hoping to rid myself of Virgin AS SOON AS THEY BOTHER ANSWERING THEIR PHONE! #TransferTalk #TransferDeadline #virginsucks

  • Louisblack Louis Houghton (@Louisblack) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia It just seems odd that Virgin seem happier losing an existing customer than just giving them the same deal as a new customer. Instead of £35 a month they get nothing.

  • mfelmi Dan King (@mfelmi) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia It was media. The call was finally answered after around 40 minutes. I wouldn’t mind if this was an isolated issue but I’ve had a number of problems with virgin media customer service (by phone) and looking online it seems that many other customers have experienced the same.

  • watchvideosoul Nezih Savaşkan (@watchvideosoul) reported from Lambeth, England

    @DDavidian @virginmedia Upload is advertised. About 20meg. But had a few issues recently where download has randomly dropped from around 180-200 down to under 15.

  • KevinBonnick kevin (@KevinBonnick) reported

    @virginmedia wow! it's not just sky who don't know how to answer a phone without cutting you off, it's you too!! well I'm not wasting anymore of my time trying to get through to you, I'm just going to cancel my direct debit. I've told you I'm cancelling, that's good enough

  • mricop Mandy (@mricop) reported

    @virginmedia Frustrating does not even cover what I am feeling. How can one work from home if the broadband is unstable and no effective end date is in sight?

  • simonkaston Simon Kaston 💙 (@simonkaston) reported

    Thanks @virginmedia that’s 30 minutes of my life I’m never getting back. All I wanted was a WiFi booster, which is on your website. I didn’t want to buy a new tv package or then be transferred and then forgotten about after 20 mins

  • Vicky_Mansour Vicky Mansour (@Vicky_Mansour) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for getting back to me @virginmedia I’m just trying to find out if there are any planned maintenance or service disruptions in my area (NN10) tomorrow as I’ve heard there might be

  • st_eppel David Grunwald (@st_eppel) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. I used to work for Virgin Media (well, NTL Telewest) and I know a network issue when I see one.

  • st_eppel David Grunwald (@st_eppel) reported

    @virginmedia It's been down for most of the day, on and off, and it's impossible to work from home. I've checked my router and other equipment and it's all fine. Your service status isn't showing a network issue locally but it clearly is.

  • SuperSu69365006 Everychildmatters (@SuperSu69365006) reported

    @virginmedia No response from VM. Its pretty poor really. 😕

  • warthog1978 fionagallon (@warthog1978) reported

    @virginmedia I can't gain access on the app how can't I contact yourselves for help

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Told yesterday that it is a local problem due to be resolved by 12th August, however that seems to be a standard reply which is now becoming tiresome. We have to wonder if @virginmedia have fallen back in the hi tech department & that we should move on to a more reliable provider

  • theatrelearning Theatrelearning (@theatrelearning) reported

    @virginmedia hiya. Problem with not being able to sign in to email system (can't send or recieve) for last few hours. When will this be resolved please?
