Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Winchester, England

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

  • langdonpiggott artist with scarf (@langdonpiggott) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Here is an idea ; proactively acknowledge that WiFi connections down for over 12 hours and suggest that the next bill we all receive reflects the loss of ‘service’. Look forward to seeing that!

  • The_Hird the Hird aka Andrew (@The_Hird) reported from Andover, England

    So can’t get my @SkyUK sports postponed as the website is broken and @virginmedia mobile seems to have only given one of the two numbers the extension pretty shit weekend tech wise. #inothernews darn good walk on #Salisburyplain

  • AdeMcKenzie Ade McKenzie (@AdeMcKenzie) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Internet just crashed. Seems as tho your website has as well when I went to check service status. 🥺

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇲🇦🇬🇧 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    OH FOR GODS SAKE IT'S GONE DOWN AGAIN!! @virginmedia

  • samzyflacko sam1017 (@samzyflacko) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia can you guys fix my WiFi it’s been down for like 20 hours man

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇲🇦🇬🇧 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    @CharrMaxwell @virginmedia Ahh O2... fair enough. Every network is patchy in places tbh

  • darrenthecoach Darren Toms (@darrenthecoach) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia yet again you’re letting your customers down. Internet down, no one answering phones. No messages put out on social media to explain what’s happening. People are expected to stay in and this level of service doesn’t help. I’m trying to work at home but can’t. 🤬

  • LisaMFricker Lisa Fricker (@LisaMFricker) reported from Southampton, England

    @mattytap @Struggling4C @virginmedia @andi_north Exactly, it used to be so much better before they changed the compensation procedure. No service is an inconvenience no matter the period of time, considering the amount of money most of us pay each month 😩

  • catherinealysh Catherine🏳️‍🌈 (@catherinealysh) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Even if they are fixing it, I'm still continuously paying £44.50 for internet ALONE for internet to barely work even when it isnt down

  • PaulineR59 Pauline Richards (@PaulineR59) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Yes I've tried to contact you with regards to sky sports. Would appreciate a response. Long standing customer 😡

  • drewy__ Jez (@drewy__) reported from Whitchurch, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to contact via calling the number but I can’t get through as I’m a new customer wanting to join!

  • obcans mark wilson (@obcans) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia ok I've had it with virgin my wifi is rubbish none of my 3 tv boxes are on line every day for the last 2 weeks all they do is drop out all the time how do I cancel this rubbish

  • enkeli85 Clare Old (@enkeli85) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Problem with Internet in SO15 again

  • Graelwyn Katharine Zoe Ruth (@Graelwyn) reported from Southampton, England

    Great time to lose Internet when totally isolated and needing social contact. Thanks Virgin Media. Time to change after 8 years of custom and price hikes and shoddier service since.

  • conordonlan c (@conordonlan) reported from Southampton, England

    imagine your internet going down at 11pm on it, cba with virgin MEDIA

  • LisaMFricker Lisa Fricker (@LisaMFricker) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia The TV took 3 hours to sort out but fixed now. The broadband was more annoying as I work from home, was off from 1030pm last night until about an hour ago today. Also the service status on your website doesn't work either! Not a good service for the price we pay each month 😩

  • JESUSSPEAKS1968 bri parker (@JESUSSPEAKS1968) reported from North Baddesley, England

    @AndreaR88604321 @fogarty_oliver @virginmedia @MAP_PM Whilst they take money from you and continue to deliver a crap service. Worst broadband company ever.

  • Graelwyn Katharine Zoe Ruth (@Graelwyn) reported from Southampton, England

    @BangPopcorn @virginmedia Yeah it is a hassle to change after so long but it has become so slow the last few years and these long outages and poor customer service are the last straw.

  • catherinealysh Catherine🏳️‍🌈 (@catherinealysh) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia once again, internet is down and wont be back til like 11pm... lower your ridiculous price of £44.50 for this shit show. Or I will bloody leave

  • Graelwyn Katharine Zoe Ruth (@Graelwyn) reported from Southampton, England

    @TonyTTGriffiths @virginmedia @adrian1farrell There is pressure on all of them but sky hasn't gone down that I can see.

  • marslee73 lee marshall (@marslee73) reported

    @virginmedia There isn’t one and never has been, have a read of your community pages and they will tell you the same. There was no need to cancel it as I never requested that,….

  • TCalpin1 TCalpin (@TCalpin1) reported

    @Bog_ow @YenzehC Its more the stability of the line and there backhaul network. Virgin media are generally poor at this but if you don't have another option its better than standard FTTC that you are on now. I would not rely on standard broadband checkers either, try searching on other smaller

  • loop_deloop Lou De Loop 🃏 (@loop_deloop) reported

    @virginmedia I understand lines are busy, but I waited three hours on the phoneline with no response before being cut off. I tried to form a complaint via web chat and was directed to Customer Relations but just had me waiting for another two hours to get nothing. i feel hopeless

  • lornaxellis Lorna Ellis (@lornaxellis) reported

    @Teacherglitter @virginmedia How do you get someone to take ownership of a problem. #Passedfrompillartopost

  • MDavis70851961 MDavis (@MDavis70851961) reported

    @Teacherglitter @virginmedia Hi I had the same problem a few years back and moved to plusnet much cheaper and no issues

  • eshybaby Iesha (@eshybaby) reported

    @virginmedia are you able to provide any update as to why the Internet has been dipping in and out for weeks in se26. I'm unable to use the app to report this issue as it has to be connected to the wifi

  • Polly_Gall Mrs G 🍃 (@Polly_Gall) reported

    @Teacherglitter @virginmedia I’m having trouble with @virginmedia too. Apparently their ‘systems’ were down today. That doesn’t explain their ineptitude every other day of the week though. I’ve spent 2 hours on hold to them in the last few days and no further forward 🤯

  • J_HSH93 Joseph Hughes (@J_HSH93) reported

    @virginmedia Hello I have called and reported this issue again and have reported it on social media. Will you offer compensation, or can I please leave the contract? Every few days channels go and wifi service is down

  • lornaxellis Lorna Ellis (@lornaxellis) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia radio silence, I'm just a paying customer asking for help to restore the broadband service you're charging me for which your engineers cut off by snipping the cable.
