Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Highnam, England

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

  • maiellamipiace maiella (@maiellamipiace) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    Oh @virginmedia why bother sending emails with customer satisfaction surveys attached when you have zero interest in taking any notice of what your customers think? If you had, you'd listen to our complaints instead of squeezing as many £££ as possible out of us before we cancel!

  • paulhewlett1983 Paul (@paulhewlett1983) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @virginmedia I received it about a week about in the post, you tell me? Surely you must know as it’s been released. The box is prompting me to upgrade as instructed on the Home Screen of the menu! But it does not work. Any help at this point is greatly appreciated

  • the_fbpe Lord Lefty cultural attachè for Gloucestershire (@the_fbpe) reported from Brockworth, England

    @virginmedia I want a monitored email address, I couldn't even sign in to my online account tonight

  • the_fbpe Lord Lefty cultural attachè for Gloucestershire (@the_fbpe) reported from Brockworth, England

    @virginmedia OK thanks I pay £110 a month for my service as someone who subsists on a pension and disability benefit this is a big commitment and yet every time I pick up the phone to you I am lied to, for example we are receiving a lot more calls than usual, this is a permanent refrain

  • the_fbpe Lord Lefty cultural attachè for Gloucestershire (@the_fbpe) reported from Brockworth, England

    @virginmedia I will be leaving virgin if my service doesn't improve drastically and quickly

  • john_glos John Pickup (@john_glos) reported from Bishop's Cleeve, England

    @virginmedia No issues but as I said it’s Vodafone they’re well known for being rubbish round here .

  • the_fbpe Lord Lefty cultural attachè for Gloucestershire (@the_fbpe) reported from Brockworth, England

    @virginmedia What I am seeking is a decent level of service for the money I am paying, who ever heard of a media service without an email address, that could be construed by a reasonable person to be a deliberate attempt to avoid scrutiny are you now being run by the government?

  • Hammerdan13 Hammerdan (@Hammerdan13) reported from Cheltenham, England

    @virginmedia I am trying to cancel my contract, but you have sent me down a conversation with a computer. You are now in breach of our contract as you have failed to cancel it or listen to me upon my request. Your customer service is embarrassing!!

  • the_fbpe Lord Lefty cultural attachè for Gloucestershire (@the_fbpe) reported from Brockworth, England

    @virginmedia OK will it be possible to go DM as I don't think twitter needs to know my issues

  • iemhouston EMMΛ (@iemhouston) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @aliward_96 I’ve never got on with them in the past, poor service but Virgin Media isn’t in my area apparently as I did try and check 😑

  • paulhewlett1983 Paul (@paulhewlett1983) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @virginmedia I received my 360 remote today and the box will not update says migration is not possible! Help?

  • maiellamipiace maiella (@maiellamipiace) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @virginmedia I already did your survey but you knew what I thought when you tried to force me to take on an 18 month contract after my original one ended. You treat customers like a cash crop. I make sure to tell everyone not to use you. You could have kept my business when I move but not now

  • garethbalmer Gareth Balmer (@garethbalmer) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @virginmedia has someone been a bit fat-fingered and pushed out a firmware update or something in the Gloucester area? Few people are having issues with their boxes restarting - ours went with a big click of the HDD, which was a bit worrying!

  • maiellamipiace maiella (@maiellamipiace) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @virginmedia Oh please. Of course it wasn't resolved - unless you mean, did we get to keep taking your money for a service you don't want? Here's a thought: how about NOT holding long-standing customers to ransom by tying them into new long contracts?

  • john_glos John Pickup (@john_glos) reported from Bishop's Cleeve, England

    @virginmedia Sadly no upgrades. Shame as my broadband etc I’ve been with for 26 years with few issues

  • john_glos John Pickup (@john_glos) reported from Bishop's Cleeve, England

    @virginmedia Every call I make I can barely hear the other person. Happens all the time. Poor reception constantly . Because you align to Vodafone they’re hopeless round here .

  • Sarah_E_Godfrey Sarah Godfrey (@Sarah_E_Godfrey) reported from Bishop's Cleeve, England

    @virginmedia hi there, our hub 3 constantly has a red light on suggesting it’s overheating but it’s on the floor, uncovered, out of sunlight and not near anything else. Also have connection issues - have tried to fix using link but says I’m not at my address. I am. Thanks.

  • wild_original Original Wild (@wild_original) reported from Churchdown, England

    @virginmedia Had an email to say my Netflix A/C has been cancelled even though I’ve paid you my subscription - no one on live chat for almost an hour now to help - anyone there?!

  • paulhewlett1983 Paul (@paulhewlett1983) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @virginmedia I have received the 360 remote control after I upgraded and when I try and update the software as instructed I get that message! I have spoken to 4 different people, no one can fix it and they refuse to send out an engineer as the box is “working correctly” ! I Beg to differ

  • FasbytesReality 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝗯𝘆𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 (@FasbytesReality) reported from Cheltenham, England

    @virginmedia Doh just booked a technician and the status page now updated to say there is a service area fault . Do I need to cancel the technician ? Or will that happen automatically?

  • Timmay1Timmay Tim K (@Timmay1Timmay) reported

    @virginmedia No, it doesn't. That being said, it hasn't gone down today yet, it's been every few minutes last few days, so it must be nearly done.

  • ToonFanUK88 GMNoble (@ToonFanUK88) reported

    Anyone else getting errors when trying to make a payment for Virgin Media? Not ideal bill due tomorrow #Virginmedia

  • KateHol90819828 Kate Holmes (@KateHol90819828) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for quick reply - yep, it said no service issues - bill is paid (checked just in case!) - my WIFI isn’t on the list anymore, not just offline, it’s disappeared completely!

  • horsted_liam Liam Horsted (@horsted_liam) reported

    @virginmedia He told us that if it doesn’t work again then there is nothing else an engineer can do as he’s renewed everything from the box in the street to the house and inside and it will be virgins network in the ground that’s the problem

  • 5outer Mr&Mrs🐝 (@5outer) reported

    @virginmedia It was cable that we changed 📞📺 broadband all 3 for a cheaper price due to the increase, so customer service are ringing me to try and get more out of me after I changed it to a cheaper rate. WHY?

  • investek_io investek.eth (@investek_io) reported

    @virginmedia you have the worst customer service I have ever come across! Signed up 2 months ago and have had any contact since; can’t even access my account online because your team haven’t even sent a contract number! Happily taking Direct Debits though hey 👌🏻#3rdDayOnHold

  • drjpm1975 Jonathan McNamara (@drjpm1975) reported

    @virginmedia They paid the value of the phones but said as everyone one does - the cash back was not their area and I needed a code - which is the sticking point as I was never provided with one. However I have the emails confirming the phone purchase dates - honestly this is so frustrating

  • pat_tissington Pat Tissington (@pat_tissington) reported

    @virginmedia No. But there definitely is a problem. And the previous twice I’ve had no internet in the past month there was also no record on that site.

  • vmbusinesshelp Customer Service (@vmbusinesshelp) reported

    @TraintowinTv @virginmedia Hi there, please accept my apologies for this issue. If this issue is still on going I would advise to call the Fault Team on 0800 052 0800 option 3. Thanks. RB

  • VEGAS_ADA_Pool VEGAS ₳D₳ Pool (@VEGAS_ADA_Pool) reported

    @JohncomQ I really enjoyed running the VEGAS pool from my home office at the start until Virgin Media (ISP) let me down before a single block I was allocated early on and died. That moment scared me enough to jolt me into moving into DC.
