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

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @johntweedie @frednfrank I've switched the router to Modem to get the signal to the 2nd floor loft. Allied to the self installed mesh network, that works well. The signal isn't now the issue. Being without services from @virginmedia 3 times in just over a week, is.

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia Yeah, I've done all that (I'm a techy) it's why it's in modem mode and replaced with a capable router. The issue isnt the equipment it's the connection. Without the hub3 I can run upto 900Mbps download and 240mbps upload.

  • shell634 Michelle Oldroyd (@shell634) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia But we had that last night and was on for an hour after work and now off been off since about 6pm Not sure what service been like during day as working

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia ANOTHER outage in BL4 9LR area? Are you kidding me? That's the fourth in just over a week. And the second today!

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @johntweedie @frednfrank @virginmedia It may be 30 years old. Strangely, with BT (Cable), Sky (wired), never had issues.

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia If does now. 12:00. That's 17 hours without service.

  • shell634 Michelle Oldroyd (@shell634) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Yeah known issue with TV Aim to fix by 12.00 No am or PM or date So not really much help !

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia @JTCHANGINGBIZ Whilst they provide a marginally better speeds than competitors their customer service is just non existent, until you say you're leaving..

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia Considering my router is a 1gbps it shouldn't be an issue. However even with wired it'll vary between 15mbps and 110mbps. However our average over a month is 53.6mbps, which is less than half the speed we pay for 😳.

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia I have your smart hub 3, or as I like to call it the dumb dumb 3000. (It's struggles to broadcast a decent connection around a 2 bed flat, so it's been banished to modem mode. (Honestly, it's the worst router ive ever dealt with) 😳

  • PIL0TPEDR0 Pete Best (Pil0t Pedr0)💙 (@PIL0TPEDR0) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia How long before the Internet problem is sorted out in the BL1 area going to take?

  • DougHall18 Doug Hall (@DougHall18) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia The worst possible service from your disgraceful company TV and broadband down 5 times over Christmas. No explanation, no apologies. Sod the fact that I can't wfh or watch prime time TV. Had enough, I'm leaving.

  • shell634 Michelle Oldroyd (@shell634) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I did initially and then doesn't load the page Tried calling just automated sent me links to mobile the same links already checked and then hung up No estimated time of when will be fixed.. I guess it's with people finishing work and realising their service is down hmmm

  • shell634 Michelle Oldroyd (@shell634) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia problems in St Helens WA9 any chance you know when will be back up and running had an outage all day before Christmas too and now again no TV !!

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia I've woken up to no Internet service at all, again

  • shell634 Michelle Oldroyd (@shell634) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia The TV is out The box just keeps going from no signal to starting up on a loop Currently ourphone line isn't working again I've lost count of how many engineers have been out ! We are paying just under £100 a month for what ?? Thankfully internet ok I'm a home worker !

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Now showing estimated "fix" time of 16:00. 21 hours without "service". This. Is. Not. Funny.

  • PIL0TPEDR0 Pete Best (Pil0t Pedr0)💙 (@PIL0TPEDR0) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia BL1 2NJ Still having problems with disconnecting and connecting, been like this for 4 hours. I have reset my router numerous times

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia LS, I have and do regularly when ever it seems slow. It varies from 12mbps download to a maximum of 110mbps. However the monthly average is under 60mbps. Which falls well short of my guaranteed speed.

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia That doesn't tell me anything. Just that the engineers ".. are working hard to fix it....." The service has been down since 7 last night. And no idea when it will be fixed. With zero redress after 4 incidents in a little over a week. Poor.

  • kashp_ . (@kashp_) reported

    @virginmedia does virgin mobile support o2 priority rewards?

  • NinjaArkRock Kate Mullen (@NinjaArkRock) reported

    @virginmedia No, I've checked & there's no issues in the area. It's not a major problem, but it's exactly as others in this thread have described. Only affects BBC1 HD. Very weird! And a bit annoying!

  • Richi_L Richie Long (@Richi_L) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have says no issues but when you have to disconnect all other devices apart from the 1 being used there's an issue. Its since we have been given the new router. Also we are paying for a gb but recieveing 300mbps intermittently other than that its 120mbps max if we're lucky

  • GarryKnox Garry Knox (@GarryKnox) reported

    @adamspicer86 @virginmedia @virginhelp We had the same problem. We switched off the Wi-Fi router for 30 secs and then back on. Then switched of the tv and virgin tv box and back on. It worked! Good luck!

  • Jo8Pink Joanne Fallon (@Jo8Pink) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not an area issue. It’s my personal service that I am paying for. Seriously, it’s constant and my home connections

  • kathinds1 kat (@kathinds1) reported

    @virginmedia what time do your call centres close so I can terminate my TV/ broadband contract. Can't get through and new price is a joke!

  • OwenRMoon Owen Moon (@OwenRMoon) reported

    @virginmedia Hilariously, I can’t load the fist link due to poor mobile data connection and the second tells me to call your long wait time customer service. Please book us an *urgent* evening appointment.

  • LioubaBM Marie B-M (@LioubaBM) reported

    @virginmedia why is there always an issue with your app. Shows payment overdue when it’s not even due yet!

  • DPxtty Dave (@DPxtty) reported

    @virginmedia It's the customer service team getting things wrong. They disconnected my broadband 2 weeks early before we change address.

  • HeatherHamilt10 Heather (@HeatherHamilt10) reported

    What am I meant to do with myself... The Internet is down again and has been for an hour and I've already been on a walk, tidied the house and had a clear out today in the downtime so far. Got nothing else to do🙃 @virginmedia sort yourself out.
