Virgin Media down again (25/6) ?


Recommended Posts

It's gone down here in Bellenden Road every day this week, several times, but not for long each time. Today it went off at around 9.30am and has not come back on. I've called the faults line several times and each time the automated system has suggested a different fix before cutting me off. I called again after trying all of the fixes and it now says they are aware of a fault in the area, which should be fixed by 3pm. I'm not holding out much hope.

Down in Peckham as well.

Heads up: I was on a ?29 contract (Broadband only) until end of last year. Since then VM has increased their bill slowly (a few pounds each time) until charging me ?37.50 in May (broadband only no increase in speed!). When I complained about the 30% increase they told me it was their rate now and from June their best price would be ?42!!

Thieves!! To profit from the current situation is just a shame

I am currently looking at other providers

Good luck and stay safe!

Complaints on here always seem to be about Virgin!


I am genuinely bemused as to why people stay with them.


Is it because they are much much better than other providers when you can actually get online?

On our road, we have no choice but Virgin fibre or dial-up (unless we go satellite which is just daft just to get an internet connection).


Virgin owns the fibre on our road, and nobody else has put any down, so we suck it up, or go back to the days of watching images visibly downloading.

    • I think insurance scams do happen but I thought there had been a crackdown on them recently. In the past insurance companies seemed to just pay out and everyone's premium goes up to cover it. My partner was a victim a few years ago, she was parking and touched a bumper of the next car. There was no mark and the other driver just waved my partner away. A month later we received a letter claiming there were four people in the other car and two of them were so badly injured they could not work. Our insurer was a rare one that actually fought the case and pretty much on the steps of the court the scammers "dropped hands" and case was closed. i thought at the time that was a good result but I later saw that my insurer had run up a £2000 legal bill and didn't get to ask for costs as there was no court case – we didn't have to pay it but again, it's this sort of thing that pushes all premiums up. And no action was taken against the other party despite them clearly being scammers who were revealed to have done this before and had effectively admitted their own statements were a pack of lies. Sorry to hijack your thread, just getting this off my chest as your post brought it all flooding back!
