Ours (SE5) has been on and off since last week. Came back again this morning, then down again this afternoon for a while. Has just come back. We were told our TV was 'too far away from the router to pick up the wifi signal', even though it has been in the same place and in the same room as the router for years!
over in Nunhead SE15 we had no Virgin Media broadband Saturday > Sunday morning. On calling 'customer service' I was informed that there was an area fault that will effect speeds and connection. This fault is due to be fixed... December the 25th! Maybe Santa's red suit means he works for Virgin. Apparently this 'fault' which is due to 'high demand' was reported in April. Thats a good 8 months to sort it out. A joke of a company with useless customer service

I utterly detest speaking to Virgin Media.

I was told when I phoned today, they had ?an application issue? and couldn?t test my equipment so phone back in 3-4 hours...

Funny how they?ve had a different story for everyone that phoned today.


Wish I could change provider but have no BT line so trapped with them I think. 😡

I utterly detest Virgin Media also. But sadly no-one else is offering their speeds (admittedly when it's actually working) and won't for some very considerable time. They essentially have a monopoly over genuinely high speed broadband. There was a Hyperoptic van in the neighbourhood the other week and I quickly registered my interest but it seems they're about 3 years away from coming to ED.


Tonight's fix has miraculously doubled our speeds back up to what they were 3 years ago. So I'll no doubt be grinning and bearing my need for VM :-(

Yes with vm but not sure we are actually getting the connection speeds advertised - i am a

Techno dunce so not sure where to begin. My ring doorbell can have a bit of delay which my installer was surprised at ( its very close to the router)


If anyone has a suggested alternative it would be much appreciated. Paying almost ?90 a month

For tv phone and internet - half the tv stations we dont watch!


Thanks all

Hey! It?s almost every network provider. Even 3G and 4g is failing. We called out ISP and they said there?s major works to the network and aim to have it over wiht by October 1st!! And yes it Gowan in and out of connection. That?s for both wifi and 3G/4g. Horrible. Kids are going crazy during free time.

After 9 years with Virgin Media on cable, rising prices, appalling customer service and frequently black outs, we switched back to a phone line in October and Zen internet. Highly recommended. Very stable. Great customer service. Switching was easier than we thought.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
