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

  • k_birc Keith Birchall (@k_birc) reported from Wigan, England

    Three different calls today from people claiming to be from @virginmedia wanting to fix 'faults' on my line by installing software on my phone. I find these funny and drag the calls out but some people may be fooled.

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Hi Ty 4 the reply. Very frustrating when I'm using data at home just to receive watsapp messages. i spoke to someone yesterday afternoon. Some settings were changed & was promised it would elevate the problem, but as I described to the chap on the phone this will not rectify it.

  • toshlfc anthony dowling (@toshlfc) reported from Liverpool, England

    @spuddy1878 @virginmedia Try logging out in your phone and then login on your iPad might only be able to log on 1 device at a time 🥴👍🏻

  • vickymanutd7 Victoria Smith (@vickymanutd7) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Well I can’t because I haven’t got my account number at hand and it’s a waste of time ringing up your customer service to check because on hold for ages and can’t even use my phone because that isn’t working either

  • danashurst Dan Ashurst (@danashurst) reported from Wigan, England

    @Scott_Helme Damn. That upload is faster then what @virginmedia give me on my cable line!

  • danashurst Dan Ashurst (@danashurst) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Whoops. Maybe I should have clarified...My connection is fine, it's your packages that need to change to give more upload capacity to customers. P.s you guys deliver a solid service to me, and have done for years.

  • michaelad1997 michaela👑💋 (@michaelad1997) reported from Walkden, England

    @virginmedia Look at them trying to be clever, should try it on more important things like fixing the daily problem with their tv and internet

  • DizzSukha Dizz Sukha (@DizzSukha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia All signals are working. My issue is I have been paying for anonymous call rejection for a few years and it has not been working since last year. I have rang up many times and still not fixed. I have been paying for this service even though it is not working!

  • vickymanutd7 Victoria Smith (@vickymanutd7) reported from St Helens, England

    Seriously @virginmedia are a shocking company, internet just goes down and phones and try to ring them and no answer I guess ur costumer service don’t want to explain why they haven’t got the service pay for well next call will be cancellation

  • 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

  • KazF2010 Karen Jacqueline (@KazF2010) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @Netflixhelps No error message but it takes ages to load and then will pause..... and not play...... never know such a slow service considering I'm paying extra for this on @virginmedia

  • storm_imaging Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Bolton, England

    Just had a call from @virginmedia - yep right. Saying my broadband was slow because of files being downloaded without my knowledge blah blah. When I said I don’t have Virgin Media broadband was informed that all the internet in my area goes through their servers...😩

  • helen_c_murphy Helen C Murphy (@helen_c_murphy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia really not a happy camper. My package is getting too expensive & when I called to ask for it to be reviewed & reduced, the call centre agent INCREASED the price, while reducing the package. I've been a customer for 10 years for all my media services

  • kirst_louisexxo Kirst-Lou✨💛💜 (@kirst_louisexxo) reported from Liverpool, England

    There’s a problem with your virgin media no shit. You’re doing updates in my area; I’m off uni sick as a dog with no internet, no tele nothing. **** sake.

  • anfield_sports Anfield Sports (@anfield_sports) reported from Liverpool, England

    Sick of how bad our @virginmedia WiFi is. Off more than it is on lately.Yet they don't make contact with us to explain why or any money back for lack of service we receive.Couple that up with having to add data on to our phones to make up for it and fair to say we are p*ssed off

  • ResidentStevil7 𝕾𝖙𝖊 (@ResidentStevil7) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia keep ringing me on a daily basis! Sometimes I can’t answer and they leave a long, silent voicemail! When I do answer, they put the phone down on me! I know it’s Virgin because if I try to ring back I get a recorded msg saying they’ll try again soon!

  • emma1995_louise emma louise crowther (@emma1995_louise) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia will my local virgin media store be able to help me understand why i now owe money after being told i was in credit i rang but i couldn’t understand the person on the phone

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

    @virginmedia Have done each time wasting an hour of my time with no resolving .. not meaning to be harsh but not used to poor service wasted six hours already when you add up wasted hours

  • bronwynevery Bronwyn Every (@bronwynevery) reported from Wigan, England

    Dont think there is a worst company to get in touch with than @Virgin 🤯 heads fell off. #virginmedia

  • KazF2010 Karen Jacqueline (@KazF2010) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia Instead of providing all these "upgrades" to the service how about just providing a SERVICE that we pay for 🤬

    @JOKERUKG @virginmedia £105 a month for it to go down all the time

  • appccessible Kevin (@appccessible) reported

    @virginmedia Already done. It doesn't fix it. So on the previous question. Are you using @Oracle because @VodafoneUK do and they know all about this issue when customers leave and then return a few years later using the same email address.

  • wainscott1 Wainscott (@wainscott1) reported

    Seeing as Virgin Media is trending, has anyone else had broadband connection problems ever since they had no choice in being upgraded to superfast 100MB+? I wouldn't even call it fast a lot of the time! It was fine before that.

  • Societies_Pests Harry Scott (@Societies_Pests) reported

    @HomelesPenguin @the_pieface @virginmedia I've been a field tech, network engineer, headend engineer and network planner for VM. Trust me, you're talking bollocks. No national issue.

  • few1971 ⚫️⚪️⚫️Frank Williamson⚫️⚪️⚫️ (@few1971) reported

    @virginmedia morning I rang up at 8am this morning and was informed that you are super busy, who knew so many people wanted to leave VM, anyway 20 minutes in and I have spoken with someone and am now being transferred to someone else, all I want to do is cancel my contract

  • KyleCiesielczuk K. C. (@KyleCiesielczuk) reported

    @the_pieface @virginmedia Tempting fate here but I have had no issues with virgin for a few months now.

  • JenfleurSmith Jenny Smith (@JenfleurSmith) reported

    @virginmedia No Wi-Fi again. Please rectify for the RM11 area, this is unacceptable ‘service’.

  • doitallpaul69 paul winchester (@doitallpaul69) reported

    @virginmedia No idea what the connect app is but i know where it doesnt work properly. I just need a link or a phone number to order them. It should be a simple process but like everything with virgin its not

  • comicbookguy_UK Mr Comic Book (@comicbookguy_UK) reported

    @ScottishSun why havent you mentioned the constant @virginmedia outages EVERY night at midnight this week? Subscribers up & down the nation losing all internet including the VM website going down yet Virgin refuse to acknowledge it! We're fed up with this!!

  • appccessible Kevin (@appccessible) reported

    One question for @virginmedia. Do you use @Oracle to manage your customer database?
