Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Wednesbury, England

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

  • MutliRaceMan Jean Thierry 💙 (@MutliRaceMan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @davesumnersmith @virginmedia I have realised that talking to Twitter teams is of limited value. The responses are scripted and when they’re painted into a corner, they just stop responding. Customer Service has become a contradiction in terms. My daughter has had similar experiences with Virgin Media.

  • MartinClarke165 Martin Clarke (@MartinClarke165) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No service still. Outrageous. No customer support. Online mths all day. Great advert for Virgin. The most reliable broadband provider #poorservice

  • leeharris85 lee harris (@leeharris85) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia customer service as good as ever told I’m being put through to another team.... then cut off

  • Dom_Priest94 DOM PRIEST (@Dom_Priest94) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia chronic customer service !

  • DorisLee1966 Judy Lee (@DorisLee1966) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called and called l’ve used the chat line numerous times. A agent opened a complaint in early feb l received a letter saying all sorted when it wasn’t there are 2 complaints outstanding and my accounts are still wrong.

  • MutliRaceMan Jean Thierry 💙 (@MutliRaceMan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It was a five minute fix, but she lost one month of TV access as a result. She’s a nurse so arranging a daytime appointment took a while because of her work patterns. It’s her first home of her own and I felt she had been treated in a less than respectable manner.

  • henry_1664 Andrew Grove (@henry_1664) reported from Birmingham, England

    Can anyone tell me how you get @virginmedia to respond to and deal with complaints? I am at the end of my tether with them! I have raised 4 complaints now and they have unsatisfactorily responded to 1 which I called back about to keep the complaint open only for them to close...

  • psicorps2000 David H-T 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🇳🇴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@psicorps2000) reported from Solihull, England

    Anybody in B37 with a @virginmedia box having problems with their boxes rebooting? Ours has done it twice without warning this evening.

  • leeharris85 lee harris (@leeharris85) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried calling got through being on hold for 30 minutes waiting to speak to a manager as I’ve been told I need to pay for something others have free and been cut out again!!!

  • ThatNeilFleming neil fleming (@ThatNeilFleming) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia take a look at the replies to your Facebook ads. Virtually every comment the same patchy broadband connection and absolute dog **** customer service

  • ThatNeilFleming neil fleming (@ThatNeilFleming) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia That might require quite an extensive overall of your infrastructure and servers however you could maybe start by answering the telephone - you are a telecoms company. Or does customer service fly out the window once the direct debits are set up?

  • lestatsmum rayofsunshine 💙 (@lestatsmum) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia do you have a number or email so I cancel mobile insurance?

  • DagnallChris chris dagnall (@DagnallChris) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia my wifi is constantly going down, it's happened 4 times today, so frustration. Why do I pay £74 pound a month for this service!? Really thinking of switching to @SkyUK

  • RoyKyffin Roy Kyffin (@RoyKyffin) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why has my mobile signal strength dropped now Virgin Mobile is piggybacking off Vodafone? Used to be full strength when you used EE.

  • ChloeHolland_ox Chloe (@ChloeHolland_ox) reported from Aldridge, England

    Sick of having issues with my Wi-Fi!! At least a couple times a day the router starts flashing and won’t connect anyone in my house to it! Internet speeds are slow all the time 😡 @virginmedia sort it out

  • DorisLee1966 Judy Lee (@DorisLee1966) reported from Dudley, England

    @theMrsH89 @virginmedia l upgraded my internet with Virgin and it’s dreadful. The process still isn’t sorted out lm being charged incorrectly and it won’t be put right until complaints sort it out. I’m still waiting for complaints the service for broadband and the customer is poor and very stressful

  • alex_bann Alex Bann (@alex_bann) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Can anyone help please? New V6 box has been broken for about a month and have tried to call to get fixed/replaced but to no avail.

  • DorisLee1966 Judy Lee (@DorisLee1966) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia The first agent was so rude the second very helpful said she hoped she had sorted the dates of my contract and the bill. But as yet the bill for March hasn’t changed l have no idea what is happening with the complaints. I’m so worn down by it all.

  • MutliRaceMan Jean Thierry 💙 (@MutliRaceMan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia My daughter had to make 2 phone calls to your customer service department to resolve a problem with her new TV box in November last year. She was almost 2 hours on the phone & then an engineer visit solved the problem. Engineer admitted the setup instructions were at fault.

  • NannieHelen Helen Croft (@NannieHelen) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia It’s the WIFi and what can you do about it? I’ve been a customer for many many years and this issue is causing aggravation. Surely I should expect uninterrupted service all day every day. It’s not cheap either is it??

  • girl_foo Mandie (@girl_foo) reported

    @virginmedia your mobile voicemail is shocking, asks you to leave a message, cuts you off, asks you again, cuts you off, asks again gives you 5 seconds then says goodbye, it's every customer on your service, think it needs sorting

  • Manraj_Virkk Manraj (@Manraj_Virkk) reported

    @virginmedia Only TV issues but broadband is listed as fine. The outage only lasts for a couple of mins but it’s enough to disrupt me working

  • AMothersSon Nur (@AMothersSon) reported

    @virginmedia I've made Virgin Media aware of the issue. It's now for you to sort. If you choose not to because you're expecting my mother to call or message you because you couldn't do your job the first time then that's on Virgin Media. It's simple, listen to your recording of the call.

  • NumberOneCrypt NumberOne (@NumberOneCrypt) reported

    @virginmedia Two issues in my postcode, resolution time 22:15 so just the 11hours downtime if resolved by the estimate.

  • aka_bil Andy Campbell-May (@aka_bil) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing showing now. Had three texts in two days saying faults have been fixed. Fingers crossed that the network is finally stable.

  • Manraj_Virkk Manraj (@Manraj_Virkk) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia why does my wifi keep cutting out every 15 mins for about 2 mins then come back? Not great when I work from home and my meetings cut out midway through…

  • labyrinth_liz Liz.Loves.Labyrinth (@labyrinth_liz) reported

    @virginmedia At first it says there is only issue with TV then when does a different checker it says there is an issue, we have called and get told it will be resolved but never is, so as this is impacting my work I will have to go into the office where do I send in my travel receipts?

  • dogsrthe Sally Canning (@dogsrthe) reported

    @virginmedia No said 1st she should have been sent an adapter? No idea what that was about. told issue sending a technician would text me time and date next day, no text.have to escalate then handsets not compatible with WiFi.then promised call back didn’t happen. She’s 88 and can’t deal

  • AMothersSon Nur (@AMothersSon) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry I've already called in and was told I'd get a call back. Then I chased that call too and I'm constantly told you need to speak with my mother. So no, I've not only contacted on social media. Now it's on you to sort and I'm ready to issue formal complaints of fraud.

  • ritchierichcfx Stuart Ritchie (@ritchierichcfx) reported

    @virginmedia wifi,tv, and phone all been down since Thursday. Not acceptable.
