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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
