Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Wigan, England

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

  • 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 😳.

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

    @virginmedia I sincerely hope there will be no need to contact beyond this fix date If we are going to be without service all weekend and already on day 3

  • neilc5017 Neil Connolly (@neilc5017) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia how much notice do we have to give to cancel our subscription ?

  • 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) 😳

  • Kiefer1667 Marc Lancaster (@Kiefer1667) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia hi, is it possible to check if my virgin mobile is being moved over from using ee to Vodafone? My signal keeps dropping in and out....i was told this would be happening sometime this year.

  • nookandwillow clare wilson (@nookandwillow) reported from Prescot, England

    @ThingsByNik @virginmedia Have noticed they’re hard to get hold of as I’ve had issues with my install (outdoors related) they should at least do you a deal…if you could actually speak to them they will prob offer you something, that’s what Sky usually do

  • 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..

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Here we are again had TV on for 5 mins why I have a drink and breakfast and it's off again.with a fix date of Monday 17th I believe @virginmedia But bet we don't get any bill discount for the continuous outrage ! 3rd day WA9

  • 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 !

  • 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 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 !!

  • 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 !

  • nookandwillow clare wilson (@nookandwillow) reported from Prescot, England

    @ThingsByNik @virginmedia Oh no, I’ve just signed up for their BB as our Sky one is awful and it’s the fastest available, I keep hearing not the greatest things about them though 🙈

  • 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.

  • Kiefer1667 Marc Lancaster (@Kiefer1667) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Thanks, if i request a pac code, does this cancel my contract automatically or do i still have to try and speak to someone in person over the phone, ive checked my account and im just on a rolling 30 day plan now my contract ended last dec,thanks

  • Deborah24780132 Deborah Gibson (@Deborah24780132) reported from Newburn, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia sort your employees out, two days in a row they have called me and hung up when I asked them to remove my number from your system. Poor customer service !!!!

  • itchyfeet_uk Gary Buss (@itchyfeet_uk) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve done this a number of times. I get passed round multiple people but still not getting issue resolved

  • hippo_jax jacquie duckworth (@hippo_jax) reported

    @virginmedia Wifi crap - have to reboot several x a day. Virgin says there is nothing wrong. I said if everything was fine I wouldn’t be calling. ‘any issues will be corrected in 24 hours’ You just told me nothing is wrong? I have to pay for engineer as there is no problem - wow!

  • LordWatts David Watts (@LordWatts) reported

    @virginmedia Weird how you word it as ‘here’s what WE agreed on’ when we didn’t agree on ****

  • fdkin1 Francis Kinsler (@fdkin1) reported

    @Matt_2164 @NepentheZ Are you using the virgin media box as a router or do you have your own router? If the former, it's probably worth doing a reboot of it. Also, what kind of Lan cable are you using? Could be a cable issue.

  • shasiili Secret (@shasiili) reported

    @DiCompton @virginmedia It really feels bad how your account has been locked I had same issue not until I was recommended to @ballersacademy and he got it fixed today hit him up and be happy again

  • yvonne75512523 yvonne (@yvonne75512523) reported

    @virginmedia how can I send an email complaint? I want to follow up on C-1009211430. You didn’t do as promised and now you want to send me a cheque! Terrible customer service please escalate.

  • jamiet72 Jamie Foster (@jamiet72) reported

    @virginmedia 24 hours now and still no call. Do you find this a good service? A reliable customer service team? Would you except this level of service? I have 2 days leave and I have to spend them chasing your company's ineptness. Please can I have your CEOs email address. It's gone too far
