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

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

    @virginmedia utterly appalling service from Virgin Media. Internet completely down the other day and now problematic to say the least. Tried phoning earlier and gave up after half an hour. Just tried again and gave up after 35 mins. What has happened to the service? It’s awful

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

    @virginmedia I get that. But several people on there have logged issues. I haven’t used that tool but try it. But issue is defo at your end as between outages speed/latency is brilliant and other people have same issue on street. That’s why I’m so keen to fix not leave as usually gr8 service.

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

    @virginmedia No not aware of status line please advise. No interest in community support forum. This is an issue with your service and equipment. Needs proper support.

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

    @virginmedia so am missing the football again - about the third time now in about 6 weeks. Engineers have replaced all cables and router but refuse to accept it’s a network issue. How do I actually progress this or speak to someone who cares?

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

    @virginmedia December. Official complaint prior to that. Please read back through your thread, the broken promises and the lies then come back with a proposal to resolve.

  • GillLeightonNHS Gill Leighton (@GillLeightonNHS) reported from Kennington, England

    Working from home over the past few days has been so tricky,our expensive M100 fibre broadband has been so slow that I had to resort to using my 4 G , tonight is 5 th evening in a row on hold for over an hour #virginmedia please can you help ? Important NHS meetings tomorrow !

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

    @virginmedia Last week after your call centre agent refused to escalate the 2months of issues highlighted in this thread.

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

    @virginmedia Just wondered if I’ve waited long enough yet for anyone @virginmedia to care enough to respond to me? Still no forum response. Still not complaint response. Still line issues. Just lies from your SM team.

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

    Life as @virginmedia customer.

  • chewgumforever Owen Kimm (@chewgumforever) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia been on hold for over an hour trying to get support with no response. There is no chat function online and no help for accessibility. Shocking customer service.

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

    @virginmedia Well since our exchange I’ve now been asked my problem and same security questions by an automated text bot 3 times with no actual response. Now the internet has just gone off again during the football. Think I’ll stop recommending @virginmedia to people now.

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

    @virginmedia do you have ANY customer service people working? I have tried ringing you for the last 24 hours and constantly get a ‘ring back later’ message. The service these days is appalling. I sent a tweet yesterday that mentioned Amazon and they replied to me. Virgin didn’t!

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

    @virginmedia what has happened to your customer service? I have been waiting since Wednesday evening for someone to reply ‘ as soon as possible’ about a fault. Currently on hold as usual on the phone. Is there anyone there at all!?

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

    @virginmedia Still no response. 19 days and counting 🙄. It’s clear you’ve been lying to get rid of me. What are you going to do to resolve this issue before I contact ombudsman? A suggestion: you arrange for someone to contact me. By now it should be clear to you your support doesn’t work.

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

    @virginmedia Still keeps going off. Has been like this for months now. Has gone off twice this evening. Can’t get hold of anyone. Self service goes in circles. Just need to speak to someone who will listen to the issue. It has to be network level. 2 engineers have confirmed our setup is fine.

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

    @virginmedia Your agent told me 72hrs. But then I was also told if I post on the forum I will get support. But we can all see how that has panned out. Just. Fix. The. Problem. Why is this so difficult? I guess copy/paste apologies are just cheaper than dealing with the real issues.

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

    @virginmedia This is the exact problem. Your agents deny there is an issue in the area. A recent social media post revealed many people in our neighbourhood have the same issue. All your agents want to do is ‘send signals’ to our router and restart our router. Nobody taking issue seriously.

  • TheIronHammer26 #GSBOUT #GSBOUT (@TheIronHammer26) reported from Folkestone, England

    When @virginmedia have put you into a new bundle tv contract without your say so and when you try to cancel they say there's 14 months outstanding Naughty naughty

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

    @virginmedia Yes dropouts Ethernet and WiFi. To be clear that message was not our engineer. Just proof prob is beyond our home. That neighbourhood thread is 14 comments long! We’ve had 2 engineers out. Cable replaced and hub replaced. Problem persists. 4 dropouts this eve alone.

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

    @virginmedia why are you ignoring my tweets on the other thread you started? On your advice been trying to get support over SMS but it just goes in a continuous loop of the same questions for 4 days?!! You also don’t answer your phone or live chat? How do I actually get help?

  • Chasman231 Chasman231 (@Chasman231) reported

    @virginmedia Why am I getting very poor upload speeds again? I am in area 14 and this is the same issue that I have had to suffer a number of times in the last few weeks. Is 0.2 Mbps upload deemed acceptable?

  • 1stKingWICK3D KingWICK3D (@1stKingWICK3D) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia ?? How long to fix the issue?? It’s been hours now… What compensation are you giving?

  • FeliceRobbie Roberto Felice (@FeliceRobbie) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia 2 months I’ve been waiting. WTF!!!

  • davidhafsah David Sutton 🇺🇦 (@davidhafsah) reported

    Now back to moaning. For the FOURTH time in less than a year I have no wifi and @virginmedia cannot come out until Tuesday. Maybe they will fix it this time?!? Last time £7 credit came nowhere near the cost.

  • bbroyston Ben Royston (@bbroyston) reported

    What the hell @virginmedia - my elderly mum had been left with no phone or internet for two days now. Just driven 3 hours to help her and your fault line is closed. Please contact me URGENTLY as she needs her landline for emergency calls!

  • KBartholomew93 Kieran.⚽ (@KBartholomew93) reported

    @virginmedia brilliant stuff, I’ve been with you for my internet for 24 hours and already it’s gone down and I’ve had to book an technicians appointment for Monday to get it back on. Great start!

  • NIKKILONDON6 🌸Eden’sMum🌸 (@NIKKILONDON6) reported

    @virginmedia How can it take over a month to install my broadband. 2 appointments cancelled via text??? Customer service unable to explain why and no managers available to escalate. Without my broadband, I cannot work. Hope you will be paying for my babies food and nappies??? 🤬

  • crazy_nicnac Star Girl (@crazy_nicnac) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia Will never go with virgin internet/tv ever again. Worst customer service and never ever worked. 3 months without internet apparently an engineer working on it. I left the company never got a penny back for lack of service.
