Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Lightwater, England

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

  • spice1971 Graeme Spice (@spice1971) reported from Yateley, England

    @virginmedia Maybe you can pass on the fact 2 calls to two separate call centres (first was India, second Scotland) both dropped mid call. Assuming it wasn’t the operators maybe there is an issue. Didn’t happen to Philpines on third call. Annoying when hold times are long

  • GaryMur52215667 Gary Murphy (@GaryMur52215667) reported from Farnham, England

    @virginmedia I pay nearly £100 a month for a dreadful service overall is that fair

  • danwot DanWot (@danwot) reported from Spelthorne District, England

    @virginmedia No COM number. Email from resolution team saying sorry got a complaint. The guy I spoke to yesterday chasing up the complaint was dreadful. Put me on hold for 30mins of a 45min call. Ended up by saying the person handling this will call me. Clearly wanted to get rid of me.

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    Intermittent network service from @virginmedia again, seems I need to use my reliable personal hotspot from @VodafoneUK - at least I have a fallback plan.

  • GaryMur52215667 Gary Murphy (@GaryMur52215667) reported from Farnham, England

    @virginmedia I had an appointment on the 28th 1-6 no one turned up only to be told it was done on the 18th, they never even had the Courtesy to let me know

  • gerimcc GeraldineMcCambridge (@gerimcc) reported from Aldershot, England

    @virginmedia #virginmedia what channels do you use for itv and BBC when the virgin is not working properly. Someone please tell me. Thanks

  • oliviadutervil Maria Olívia (@oliviadutervil) reported from Guildford, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to solve a billing issue it’s been a month but It’s very difficult since your costumer service is terrible. I’ve paid all my bills but you are insisting that I didn’t. I’ve been at Bank I could confirm that I’ve paid. This is driving me crazy!

  • InflightJames James (@InflightJames) reported from Wokingham, England

    Absolute SHIT customer service from @virginmedia today. Due have an iPhone delivered yet “for some reason” it was cancelled. Thanks for that.

  • oliviadutervil Maria Olívia (@oliviadutervil) reported from Guildford, England

    @virginmedia The account holder is my husband. The account number is 104507406 area 26. I made a complaint 2 days ago, where I put all payments receipts numbers but I’ve not received a response until now.

  • danwot DanWot (@danwot) reported from Spelthorne District, England

    @virginmedia So basically your as pointless and useless as the agent I spoke to yesterday. You've listened to my complaint and not moved it on or helped. You've asked me to contact them AGAIN. why did u bother asking me for all the info. Total pointless exercise. Very disappointing.

  • MrCamm Paul Camm (@MrCamm) reported from Aldershot, England

    @virginmedia putting my bill up by £4.50 a month ... for a patchy as ffk service cheeky bastards , I'm contemplating cancelling it ans watching everything via kodi £115 a month for tv cannot be justified even if I do watch a lot as I'm a loner

  • danwot DanWot (@danwot) reported from Spelthorne District, England

    @virginmedia My new price would be cheaper. All brilliant. I then rec'd an email to say thanks for the changes to the package and I've had things removed. I asked on 3 occasions that was anything changing, agent said 100% no! Totally lied too. Very poor. Please explain how this is acceptable

  • GaryMur52215667 Gary Murphy (@GaryMur52215667) reported from Farnham, England

    @richardbranson hello Mr Branson, after several years of poor service from virgin media U.K., I’m going to cancel my services, it’s come to the point it’s an utter nonsense service ripping people off! Sorry I had to tweet you

  • danwot DanWot (@danwot) reported from Spelthorne District, England

    @virginmedia I used your on line option of raising a complaint as the previous call took 30mins. Could handle another long call. Nothing has happened so chased it up yesterday. 45min call and nothing resolved. Agent just said someone will call me today. So far no call.

  • RJHOTCHEF Ryan Wilson (@RJHOTCHEF) reported from Fleet, England

    @AlyInASpin @virginmedia Weird we are having the same problem #lag , @virginmedia whats the problem please. Very annoying now

  • GaryMur52215667 Gary Murphy (@GaryMur52215667) reported from Farnham, England

    @virginmedia I find I highly frustrating you do everything to dissuade anyone from getting sense to complaints and issues with your service as well as customer services

  • Robert_Berning Robert Berning (@Robert_Berning) reported from Spelthorne District, England

    @virginmedia your broadband is useless. Your customer service is non-existent and your product is a joke.

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Sorry to say that I contacted your online chat, but they offered no significant update other than 9th Sept for a fix and no offer of compensation as I am not experiencing a total loss of service. Not happy at all.

  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia trying to watch a film on Netflix only for my tv to keep flashing up wired LAN cable is disconnected then wired network is connected what is going on I pay for virgin and Netflix and getting fed up

  • FrTedCrilly Mark Reilly (@FrTedCrilly) reported from Old Windsor, England

    @virginmedia 15mins and counting trying get through to report a fault. Service has patchy at best, customer service dire #time to switch

  • Fenny_Goldfish Fenchurch S Goldfish 💙 (@Fenny_Goldfish) reported

    @NotVBrightSpark @jayrayner1 @virginmedia The only response a company social media account should give is "here's our phone number or email address to contact a dedicated help line"

  • nastane_purdy vonda (@nastane_purdy) reported

    @virginmedia It clearly was , especially as I have read other reviews saying exactly the same as me . And as soon as I answered call back the dialled clicked off . I urge you to check Trustpilot amongst others. Never again with VM after this stress

  • JonathanBliss Jonathan Bliss (@JonathanBliss) reported

    @jayrayner1 @virginmedia Two Tips: 1) Use a free gmail/hotmail/yahoo email address and never your broadband suppliers one, so changing is easier (or use email addresses associated with your website if you have one). 2) Stop giving out your landline number, easier to port your mobile across suppliers.

  • NotVBrightSpark Peter Morgan (@NotVBrightSpark) reported

    @jayrayner1 @virginmedia Cue “Hi Jay, can you DM us?” replies. Twitter is terrible for those on the bad side of poor corporate service. It tries to create the illusion of response and responsibility. It serves up very little of these.

  • ScobieScobie Margaret Scobie (@ScobieScobie) reported

    @virginmedia please explain why your cancellation service is non existent

  • ValiantVilla Jay (@ValiantVilla) reported

    @virginmedia Saying no issues as per usual. It cuts out every day, multiple times a day. I want all this putting on my account so when it comes to cancel the contract you know exactly why!

  • bondspice stuart (@bondspice) reported

    @jayrayner1 @virginmedia Faff or not I'll be looking at moving away from virgin. Never had a major issue with service but something needs to be done about prices for both loyal and new customers being more aligned. Getting shafted for loyalty needs to end

  • twility Lilyann (@twility) reported

    @virginmedia why am I getting aggressive texts from a bot telling me if I don't "pick a date" for collection of my equipment you'll just turn up whenever you like in the next 30 days. I'm trying to say I WILL BE AT WORK. Help! I'm not here during the week anymore.

  • EvelynWilcock Evelyn Wilcock (@EvelynWilcock) reported

    @jayrayner1 @virginmedia Virgin may have its own cable, but dont all other providers use the same physical line down the street? Our neighbour has BT and we @plusnet. It regularly shoots us an error message at about 9.30 pm and then continues to work as normal. Glitch yesterday was 9.20 pm.

  • harukababette Helen Cube (@harukababette) reported

    @virginmedia Hi John , I read your link thank you. I raised a complaint. I received no outcome from my raised complaint that changes anything about the terrible customer service that I experienced. In fact my raised complaint sent me to the telephone number I raised the complaint about
