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

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Adding a character and then removing that character worked. By pasting the password in, it wasn’t accepting the password regardless. It needed a character to be manually added. I’ve never seen that before on any password fields on any other site, seems like an API issue maybe.

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Nope. I have username already selected to my email address, password filled in on both fields, security question drop down selected and answer given in the field, and date of birth drop downs all selected. There’s nothing else I can select or that hadn’t been filled in now.

  • basher5000 (@basher5000) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia sat here with at home with no mobile service but when I use the app it says I’m getting 3G & 4G 👌🏻

  • TinaLawrenson Tina Lawrenson (@TinaLawrenson) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia 6/12 later we still haven’t despite phone calls and false assurances we still have not got number back contacted vm whom basically said it’s my problem and here’s the number to call no help .... it’s beyond disappointing

  • davidfiggins David Figgins 🌱🌎💚 (@davidfiggins) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia The other services work fine. I have no issues with connectivity other than when streaming on demand shows/movies. The only assistance I need is for you to sort your streaming service.

    Noooo!!! The virgin media wifi is down. We might have to start talking to each other..

  • RedElectro Red Electro (@RedElectro) reported from Warrington, England

    Well, @richardbranson @virginmedia - been a customer since the Telewest days, but the broadband service is almost unusable now. I don’t know what’s going wrong, but you’re going to start losing customers rapidly, if you don’t get this sorted.

  • Natchanxo Nat Chan 🐝 (@Natchanxo) reported from Walkden, England

    why are VM so SHITE. Had an agent tell me to BIN my new sim card as I didn’t need it & I can use my old sim card. I’m now paying for 2 sim cards and ones in the BIN...now they’re telling me I have to pay an ‘exit’ fee to ‘cancel’ the contract 😡 @virginmedia

  • markymark2970 mark blundell (@markymark2970) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia You’re broadband signal has been dropping about a dozen times daily since October and the last one on Friday was for over 24hrs; my wife had rang numerous times and just keeps getting told outage problems in area . Really come on #patronising😡😡

  • nathanrigby__96 Nath (@nathanrigby__96) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia Internet went off last night in the area and it said it would be sorted for 10:30am this morning now the status has changed but still no ones internet is working, rebooting doesn’t help

  • stu_the_supply Stuart (@stu_the_supply) reported from Liverpool, England

    Yet again had to phone @virginmedia as the broadband is not working properly 2nd time in two days they’ve had to reboot it glad I’m missing the footy again 🤬🤬

  • basher5000 (@basher5000) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia Hi the app says service is fine but when using text message constantly says not delivered but I only realise when I go back in later ... I think it’s poor signal in my home because I go outside it works ....

  • davidfiggins David Figgins 🌱🌎💚 (@davidfiggins) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I start watching movies on the sky store, then around 20-30 minutes in its says there's a connection issue and disconnects completely, not allowing me to get back on. It comes back on about 5 minutes later.

  • gordonturner71 Gordon Turner (@gordonturner71) reported from Warrington, England

  • Johns_Alive Johns Alive  🇺🇦 (@Johns_Alive) reported

    @TheShannimal_ @virginmedia @virginmedia worst provider going, don't help with anything

  • ChiBkSequels ChildrensBookSequels - Sarah Corcoran (@ChiBkSequels) reported

    @tim2infinity @virginmedia We were told on Tuesday when we lost internet that no engineer available until next Thursday 28th July. 10 days with no service. N E Somerset!

  • LietoFineLondon Lieto Fine (@LietoFineLondon) reported

    Why is @virginmedia so f**king awful? Every month they scree me with my pants and jeans on with an exorbitant bill and then can’t provide even half decent wifi. Anywhere else it would be #theft

  • debaleena_d Debaleena Dasgupta (@debaleena_d) reported

    @JamesTurner37 @virginmedia We switched from Virgin Media to Zen a year ago after myriad issues with Virgin service for years. The only time there was a problem (which turned out to be me!) Zen answered the customer service line & fixed the issue in less than 5 mins. I cannot recommend Zen more highly.

  • tim1webber Tim Webber (@tim1webber) reported

    @virginmedia with you. You didn’t come up with a resolution. Just that I had a case number, means nothing, and that 100% the field office would contact me within 24hrs. Can you guess what happened next? Exactly. Nothing. What are you gonna do about it? (2/2)

  • TheShannimal_ The Shannimal (@TheShannimal_) reported

    @ArcadeMom @virginmedia Always get the "Turn it off and on" response like I'm stupid...

  • joe_ch1p Joe Chip (@joe_ch1p) reported

    @virginmedia Sort out your bloody network. My Internet connection has been up and down like a frigging yoyo for over a week now. I'm paying for services like Netlix etc and can't use them because halfway through the connection drops out. Not bloody good enough #virginmediadown

  • BellaDrives BellaDrives (@BellaDrives) reported

    @virginmedia I feel compelled to ask whether your staff are penalised for failure to retain customers who cancel? I can think of no other reason that I would need to speak to 3 different staff members and still unable to cancel this service @ofcom

  • BellaDrives BellaDrives (@BellaDrives) reported

    @virginmedia I have spoken to 3 different team members, the first two failed to action my request and the 3rd one initially denied I had ever made such a request and then eventually offered to cancel my services if I paid £66 for a service I cancelled months ago @ofcom

  • LiamWalker_7 Liam Walker QC (@LiamWalker_7) reported

    @JamesTurner37 @virginmedia This is what happened to many in SW London over lockdown 1. The customer service was terrible. I'm now with BT as a result.
