Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Wigan, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Wigan and nearby locations:
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.
-
kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia That number is a automated response not a customer service agent and an utter waste of time
-
kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, EnglandI have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.
-
🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia We have. Multiple times. Your agents don't know how to help. Spoke to 3 different people. I'm getting contant update emails. I don't need to check the service. I know its down. This is beyond ridiculous. I work from home, I can't do my job because of your terrible service.
-
Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G
-
owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.
-
CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England@virginmedia Hi thankyou4 replying. You offered me the piss a while back for free then tried to charge approx 25 quid a month for them.The issue is half your line and half the equipment. You can never send an engineer out as everytime I phone there is an issue in the area.Another outage today

Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, EnglandTell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?
-
NeckSausage (@NeckSausage) reported from Tarleton, England@virginmedia really poor coverage here PR4 6, is there a mast problem?
-
LeChonk (@J_w_D94) reported from Horwich, England@virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.
-
Colette Ellison (@colette2511) reported from Warrington, England@richardbranson you really need to sort your @virginmedia company out. There nothing but robbing bastards, everything about the company is bad. 😡

Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia @virginhelp I've never had this much issue as I have had today. I'm plugged in on ethernet, I've reset my hub, and checked my area and there is no issue at all. My WiFi is working from my hub but yet its booting me out of Destiny 2 and not just that but the chat parties on PS5 itself
-
Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England@virginmedia All internet is down, wireless and wired; the hub light is white and it’s a Hub 3.0.
-
🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England@Virgin #virginmediadown Virgin media is an absolute bag of ****, pass it on
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?
-
CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England@virginmedia I totally agree, unfortunately this is not something you have been able to arrange for me for the last 3 months either. 👍 What's the solution?
-
🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia Yeah.. apparently its down in WN1 but nobody is telling me what's wrong or how long it will take. I need Internet to work.

-
CK (@chris_k_90) reported@Benleo @virginmedia One of the worst companies I've had to deal with as well, other than British Gas. I can't wait to leave when my contract ends.
-
laney ☆ (@worldsaapart) reported@virginmedia is the wifi down in the M38 area? My mum can't log into the wifi on her phone or tv and when she tries it says it's not in range
-
Ashley (@ScottishAshley) reported@virginmedia An engineer was booked and then the visit was cancelled by yourselves as it’s a wider issue apparently. So it’s an issue you should already be aware of as it’s widespread according to media
-
Vicky Leigh (@vickiferris) reported@virginmedia you told me there was an issue with my 360 tv box and said would send me a replacement. You sent me a stream box that doesn't record tv and not what I pay for or want.... and no one answers the phone
-
CFC Cathy (@CFCCath) reportedBeen a customer for 20 years and intermittent signal for last 48 hours on @virginmedia and prices going up By 25%. Time for us to part our ways methinks …
-
Swan Hefner (@SwanHefner) reported@Benleo @virginmedia Don't get me started with this company. Still in the middle of a dispute over an early termination free where they used a new contract even though I'd explicitly asked them to cancel during the cooling off period. Now they have billed for 3 years worth of bills.
-
Hatter (@hatterscrypto) reported@Benleo @virginmedia I can raise you. Try dealing with @ThreeUK . But I agree Virgin media have massively gone downhill in the customer service department.
-
chris8854.bskysocial (@chris327759) reported@virginmedia No I’m aware of the power outage so all I want to do is watch tv which is fine. There’s no internet yet, it’s the message constantly flashing up on the screen that’s annoying. Once u have seen it once, u shouldn’t need to see it again, but every 10 seconds it’s there
-
Martin Harrison (@MartHarrison) reported@Benleo @virginmedia Yeah…the internet speed was great but the rest was totally awful based on my only experience with them…when asked I tell folk to avoid them👍
-
Melody Richards 🇬🇧🏴 (@Melody9Earth) reported@Benleo @Scott7507064635 @virginmedia I once had Virgin Media broadband (because there was no alternative in the area) and I had the same awful experience with them. I hate them and would never use them again.
