Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Wigan, England

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

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia No updated fix time, as it shows all services as green, and can't detect a problem. It asks us to phone you on 151 to do a little more "digging", but the phone line is DOWN. Oh, and the chatbot doesn't deal with landline issues apparently. Now what???

  • mrphilliptipton Phillip Tipton (@mrphilliptipton) reported from Haydock, England

    The interminable menus on the Virgin Media customer line lasted 3 minutes and 20 seconds just now, most of it being lectured on how efficient this would make my as yet unanswered call.

  • shellc11 michelle cunningham (@shellc11) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia can you please confirm how long my tv will be down WA9 area, its been off for over 36 hours 😳

  • gilliblogs Gill Lysons (@gilliblogs) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @yicker @virginmedia Had the same thing when my Gran was poorly, trying to explain to HMRC why they couldn’t visit her for an assessment - eventually I had to say “look, she’s dying” Bloody awful . Hope you’re ok xxx

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia How many more times, the landline is NOT working (no dial tone).

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia hi!! We're having issues calling our landline from Vodafone mobiles. Have googled and it looks like it's a porting issue. But one of your technicians has just called and talked to me like I'm stupid and told me it's not. Can you help???

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @VodafoneUK I'm not sure... as far as I can tell it's a @virginmedia issue. But you may be able to help. No one on Vodafone can call our virgin landline. It just beeps or says the number and code combination isn't recognised.

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Someone else has called me since and had said she's going to call me back and look into it. But I was just so frustrated with the way he spoke to me. I'm not one for just googling random sites but this was on one of your forums and it's the exact same issue!

  • gbam86 Graeme Bamber (@gbam86) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @gbam96 Yes it has been cancelled now, it was the manner it took to get there! Nearly 20 mins of asking to cancel! he had a bad attitude. Very disappointed with the customer service

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia But on the online forum it says others have had the same problem and your technical department need to contact Sky and the line needs to be routed to you again as it's a porting issue. I can't see any other examination although I appreciate I'm not a technician.

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia Reported the problem yesterday after your response. Should have been fixed by 10am today apparently, but still nothing.

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia It’s ok I’ve managed to get around my dad’s security question - it was an issue with the lower / upper case. I’ve updated his password and his email is now receiving emails on his phone and iPad - I think we’re ok. Frustrating that the live chat sent him around in circles

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia my dad’s email address has been hacked. VM says he has to re register his email address. He’s spent nearly 3hrs on live chat today trying to fix it. He’s 86 and relies upon his email to order from home. Can you please explain to me the process to correct this issue?

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia My landline phone has been down all afternoon in PR25 1UJ. Have any others complained about this issue, and if you're aware of the issue, do you have an estimated time for repair. Thanks in advance.

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No nothing - no reference number. The inconsistency of service between live chat, phone and Twitter is mad. It doesn’t feel like you’re speaking to the same company

  • Andy_Dunbar Andy Dunbar (@Andy_Dunbar) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Is that minimum 12 months subscription or can I cancel at anytime?

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Also I’ve just tried and it won’t accept the answers to the security questions - which are both ok. Can someone contact me to help me out please?

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia This takes me through to a help and support page - what do I do next?

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia He said it '100% wasn't a porting issue' and that he would look into it but that wouldn't be the answer. Another lady called me later on a few times and asked me to call our land line on three separate occasions and she could call back to get the times. But haven't had a call yet

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi!! Just letting you know my land line issue still isn't fixed. Someone is supposed to be calling me back today. I'm really hoping they do. Just wanted to say thanks to Robert too for being so helpful. Despite this still driving me mad.

  • GTaylorSTEM Gemma Taylor (@GTaylorSTEM) reported

    Absolute mess @virginmedia - how many hours do I have to spend on your customer support line to have my service activated???? 3 hours today and still it’s not resolved! Absolute rubbish support for home movers. Last time I believe “just plug in the box - it’s as simple as that!”

  • dryging 🄳🅁🅈 🄶🄸🄽🄶🄴🅁 🄼🄰🄻🄴 (@dryging) reported

    Why when I watch the football on @PrimeVideo through @virginmedia it alwsys flickers? Never happens when I watch anything else. #LIVTOT

  • leanne_v1ctoria Leanne fazackerley (@leanne_v1ctoria) reported

    @virginmedia I’m waiting to leave you and I haven’t web set up my broadband yet. This is why I’m wanting to leave as CS is shocking! No one answers the phone I’ve been waiting over an hour to get through to be cut off! What’s the easiest way to cancel my contract?

  • claireglenton Claire Glenton (@claireglenton) reported

    @dazzaellis @virginmedia We have the same issue! Been cut off too when trying to call after about an hour! Disgraceful service!

  • Danielk42122206 Daniel knight (@Danielk42122206) reported

    @virginmedia when you say our package is 100mb download speed yet when I check the speed it's only 7mb. Is there problems in my area? ..seem to have constant problems with broadband!

  • superlad ! (@superlad) reported

    @virginmedia I emailed them 27/10/20 chasing the refund but had no response. I feel very let down by Virgin Media

  • SheesCreative Melanie (she/her) (@SheesCreative) reported

    @MichaelRosenYes @virginmedia Oh agree. One of worsr companies I have ever dealt with. Staff lied to me. Customer service shocking.

  • Josieanna1984 Jo (@Josieanna1984) reported

    Really frustrating, it’s been weeks now of having unreliable internet connection. @virginmedia can you help rectify this or we will leave and go to another provider.

  • blackicerose Lyndsey Colgan (@blackicerose) reported

    @virginmedia Internet's gone down and there's a flashing red phone light on the hub. All cables are connected and I've reset /turned off and on several times. There is no outrage in my area according to your website. How do I get reconnected?

  • DixieJessop Alan Jessop (@DixieJessop) reported

    @virginmedia That is unacceptable on any level - this old lady has no phone , her panic alarm can’t operate and you cannot give us any date for resolution? She is understandably distressed and doesn’t understand and you plainly don’t give a ****
