Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Smeeth, England

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

  • TheTestingMuse David Williams (@TheTestingMuse) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Having just looked at model photos it's the Hub 4 I have, set to Modem Mode. The connection drop problem is with the Hub itself (the solid white ring light then starts glowing to show it is "connecting"), so the connection drop affects both wired and wireless connections.

  • shipp_natalie Natalie Shipp (@shipp_natalie) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia none of the apps are working on my tv, can you advise how I can fix this please?

  • _drewitt Lauren Drewitt (@_drewitt) reported from Smeeth, England

    @virginmedia another poor lengthy phone call with one of your customer service advisers following being mis-sold your services. Refusal to listen to our original telephone calls where we were mis-sold the service and refusal to accept any responsibility.

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia So your code of practice section 3. Your case will remain open for 28 days so you'll have enough time to review and consider our proposal. Erm you've closed it after 2 days. Your service gets better

  • Andyelufc AndyEpps (@Andyelufc) reported from Ashford, England

    with @virginmedia tv stations being down for most of the day apparently , I'm just glad that @LUFC are not on the box tonight.🤬⚽💛💙 #wouldnotbehappy

  • Chataranga Martin Holme (@Chataranga) reported from Kennington, England

    @virginmedia on top of hundreds of spam junk emails we have umpteen scam calls on the landline. Very day I am getting increasingly saddened by Virgin Media’s inability to stop scammers and spam flooding my system. Very expensive terrible service

  • _drewitt Lauren Drewitt (@_drewitt) reported from Smeeth, England

    @virginmedia and after a previous phone call a few weeks ago where your adviser said we could write a letter of complaint, we have still received no response in writing as requested and today been told it’s not your policy to reply? Terrible service!

  • chinwah33 Braxton hix (@chinwah33) reported from Ashford, England

    Well laters #virginmedia I will be off to sky when the contracts up next month. Terrible service, no TV again today and yet you still call me everyday to get me to take out another contract.

  • DrPEDavies Dr Patrick Davies (@DrPEDavies) reported from Folkestone, England

    Virgin Media Customer Care Complaints Services always fails to come up with solutions. Rather, they continually offer verbose replies referring Customers elsewhere with endless phone numbers. Their standard is totally below the expected minimum!

  • JoTreCanterbury JannerJo 🦠💉💥 (@JoTreCanterbury) reported from Canterbury, England

    @tryingattimes @virginmedia 100% correct took ages to cancel my 80yo mum's service when my dad got vascular dementia. They sent me all sorts of patronising messages on here. All designed to extract money from vulnerable people. STEER WELL CLEAR!

  • mrjcgoodwin Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Yes have posted in forums - no response, called, live chats, SMS. full works. Engineers even told us prob is not at our property as far back as Oct/Nov and neighbours have same issue but nothing is done, call centre staff are rude and treat you with contempt. Ref is C0912202465

  • Pakitodomenech Francisco Domenech 🇵🇸 (@Pakitodomenech) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia Watching the England game and the internet just stopped. What it’s going on lately with your service??

  • ElaneSlade elane slade (@ElaneSlade) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia can anyone in the UK retentions department actually listen to a call and call a customer back? I've tried calling this morning to check progress after more than 2 weeks and the people answering the phone can't understand what I'm asking I've been hung up on 3 times

  • mrjcgoodwin Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Would rather you fixed the problem.

  • Bsid19451955 Bsid (@Bsid19451955) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia just when you really need Internet none! And fix time 16:00 today.

  • IamSarahJayJay SarahJay (@IamSarahJayJay) reported from Canterbury, England

    2. @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk no idea how to get into the account and claim it!! Can't seem to find my own account under either of my usual emails. Obvs I would like the credit as cash as I no longer hold a virgin media account so hoping customer service can help me locate it

  • IamSarahJayJay SarahJay (@IamSarahJayJay) reported from Canterbury, England

    @virginmedia I forgot to screenshot it today.. But yeah it was showing up. Can't seem to get back on the account atm it's like it was down for maintenance. Will try later. Defo something on there though.

  • Pakitodomenech Francisco Domenech 🇵🇸 (@Pakitodomenech) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia you service is just below zero. Can’t get any connection. Just please give my money back and I move to something better. Thanks

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia Your email re complaint makes now sense. You've closed it but not said how it has been resolved? C-1703211599 Please advise

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia No. I received an email stating I didn't need to sign a new contract and it was classed as a service change.

  • Daylight33 Alison (@Daylight33) reported

    @virginmedia Yes how do I get the booster to get better signal if they are not available online? 3 of us are working from home, myself for the nhs and the signal is not always that good

  • DavidReadUK David Read (@DavidReadUK) reported

    @virginmedia @LozzaFox Complaining via the website is awful, designed to frustrate you away.

  • SteChappell82 Ste Chappell (@SteChappell82) reported

    @virginmedia what's the cost of high speed Internet.... 8 hours on the phone, 3 failed installs and endless dept transfers. Worst service I've ever had. My daughter must now go into school!!!

  • JaneVivian01 Jane Vivian (@JaneVivian01) reported

    @virginmedia I raised a complaint at the weekend but haven’t even had a response to acknowledge receipt. My TV box won’t even turn on.

  • docguji VE Day - victory against fascism #FBPE (@docguji) reported

    @virginmedia please provide a human that can sort my V Box. Have lost all channels- blank screen. Online test reveals that there is no problem! Friend who knows says the box is faulty. Been holding for nearly half an hour.

  • HozzieB_ 🍯Hollie🐝 (@HozzieB_) reported

    @virginmedia Hiya, I've received my quick service broadband box today but there's already a cable in the Virgin wall box that I can't remove no matter what I do... I don't know what to do :(

  • MartinClarke165 Martin Clarke (@MartinClarke165) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nothing reported. I have a hub 4 your msg says can’t run test on this hub. My service goes down EVERY DAY. I’m fed up with Virgin. Take my money and offer rubbish device.

  • fade2dust Andy Evans (@fade2dust) reported

    @virginmedia Tested five minutes later and the speed is down to 14 mbps. It makes streaming video or using Zoom, very unstable.

  • RJM_1986 RJM (@RJM_1986) reported

    @virginmedia why is there going to be a price increase on my package in march? My service hasn’t been upgraded or improved.

  • suekingcreative Sue King. BA (Hons). MSc. (@suekingcreative) reported

    @virginmedia Landline not working, my phone is fine and charged, no dial tone. Remote tests have been done. Was supposed to get a call back yesterday on my mobile
