Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Harpenden, England

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

  • CParkus Chris Park (@CParkus) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Not for internet. It seems to work for a bit then I have to reset the router every few hours. Have there been network issues around central London today?

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have better things to do with my time than phoning @virginmedia The system should pick up on this. Virgin’s system is quick to chase me regarding the return of a bloody hub. Absolutely atrocious service.

  • hassanrh Raza (@hassanrh) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia turns out speed is not the main thing when choosing a broadband provider it’s WiFi availability. This contract is not working for me, I need a provider who has high WiFi availability in all my rooms, especially if I am within 10 metres of the router

  • Lloydyboy1 Lloyd williams (@Lloydyboy1) reported from Barnet, England

    Hi @virginmedia I have home installation today. WiFi isn’t connecting and is asking me to call contact centre but is when I call it is closed. Can you help?

  • salaura101 Susan Clarke (@salaura101) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia New Hub 4 arrived during time when Virgin have low staff due to COVID. Keeps dropping out, difficult to work from home and no ability to contact Virgin! ‘Call Failed’ when phoning. Great planning by Operations Mgr. Customer nearly 20 years and want to leave! Fed up!

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The auto response system is terrible & apparently someone should have responded to my refund query & guess what? No one has bothered.

  • adam_bucky Adam B (@adam_bucky) reported from Stevenage District, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I need to get someone to move my broadband over to ip4 not ip6 because my work VPN doesn’t like 6 and painfully slow. Spent a lot of time on the phone for a simple request, is there an email address I can contact for this? #virginmedia

  • CParkus Chris Park (@CParkus) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia No - these are generic tips, these aren’t going to help with more fundamental issues W/ network reliability. Wifi connection is fine. But the internet is unreliable and I’ve reset my router 4 times today. That has nothing to do with connectivity/speed.

  • paulstevenlewis Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia my landline is not working. You do not reply on the message contact service (blaming Covid of course, not entirely credible when other businesses cope ok now) & I cannot phone you as my Virgin line is not working & your charges from other phones are outrageous. Help!

  • MikeJoiner1965 Mike (@MikeJoiner1965) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia Although it’s fixed now you left me in a dangerous situation. I was unable to install new hub straight away. I needed help. Without warning my old hub had been closed by you without the new hub being installed. I rely on wifi for different area’s of illness....

  • MikeJoiner1965 Mike (@MikeJoiner1965) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia need to look at this issue. Some won’t be so fortunate.

  • sbraganza Stan Braganza (@sbraganza) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia no internet in N14 since 1035am. Had to cancel work meetings. Compensation?

  • StaceyRebekka Stacey Karlsson (@StaceyRebekka) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The engineer didn’t turn up today. I’ve been on hold for hours and still have no services. Please can someone help us?

  • StaceyRebekka Stacey Karlsson (@StaceyRebekka) reported from London, England

  • ricardomarques Ricardo Marques (@ricardomarques) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia every single day we have problems with your broadband. Today is even worse, we don't have any connection at all.

  • pauldurie p2.0 ✊🏻 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@pauldurie) reported from London, England

    @PippaCrerar @virginmedia If you're using a Virgin router I would buy another one as they're useless Main issue I found was they don't switch between 2.4GHz/5GHz very well If you want stronger signal then switch off 5GHz

  • StaceyRebekka Stacey Karlsson (@StaceyRebekka) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia No. We still don’t have any internet or TV and haven’t spoken to anyone. @VodafoneUK have sorted us out with extra mobile data. Can you share an email address so I can make a formal complaint please.

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia continue to having problems on broadband se6 london. 1 hr waiting someone answer at the phone or on chat. I seriously think to cancel my contract

  • paulstevenlewis Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia I’ve finally got an engineer coming on Thurs, which took over 24 hrs to arrange by message. Pretty bad, cutbacks rather than Covid I guess since many companies are doing better than this, & your high premium rate charges to call are not fair when my Virgin line is faulty!

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia still having problems in sE6 london

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia The call back was organised by your virgin customer services because nobody seems to know what’s going on with my install. I think the hope was that the area manager might know. I’m not even exaggerating.

  • _itsrosee_ _Itsrosee_ (@_itsrosee_) reported

    @virginmedia Service

  • paulmeaden89 Paul (@paulmeaden89) reported

    @virginmedia I’m well familiar with that number and have tried to resolve this 5 times now. The team are useless. I’ve even tried to cancel, they are also incapable of this.

  • mickyjayuk MJ (@mickyjayuk) reported

    @virginmedia Once upon a time, you were the best. You're not anymore and the day I can cancel and go elsewhere I will.

  • peterfr07003652 peter francis (@peterfr07003652) reported

    @virginmedia just joined virgin media and terrible customer service. Long wait times, over three hours to try and get to an advisor. Now cancelling within cooling off period.

  • daveyruthers David J Rutherford (@daveyruthers) reported

    @virginmedia Still not working 😕

  • hoohooner Hoon (@hoohooner) reported

    @virginmedia the repairman he could help himself to coffee, tea and some biscuits, but that the cadburys button pudding pots were off limits. He said no worries and carried on working. We get home at 3pm after a few hours and find the repairman gone. The internet seems to be working but

  • MadtingLuke pepe lore enthusiast (@MadtingLuke) reported

    @virginmedia yes, that’s what came up when I checked it - right now it says there’s no issues affecting my area but like I said, it happens all the time

  • SParker616 Suzanne Brown (@SParker616) reported

    @virginmedia how can I find out if my area is scheduled for work tomorrow which would involve our network being down for some or all of the day? Working from home and have an important meeting then.

  • jeancedwards jean carwood-edwards (@jeancedwards) reported

    @virginmedia Yes they asked sec quests my mum can’t answer-they’re about ‘most recent calls made’ on the phone that she’s been paying you for but hasn’t used in years. You say she can’t cancel her contract or even make the payment that you’ve threatened her with a debt collector letter for😢
