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

  • djchrisr Chris Roberts (@djchrisr) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia not long after that because I immediately received a high bill but was told it takes 30 days to set up, so I accepted that. I've messaged & emailed about all this before & gave up because of poor or non-response. It's frustrating. I'm very busy and don't have time to keep chasing

  • djchrisr Chris Roberts (@djchrisr) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I called the mobile team at the start of the year to put a £5 cap on my mobile contract which my daughter uses but have now received a bill for £29 and discovered the cap was never put on. CS on the phone insisted I've never called about this but I know for a fact I did....

  • RuthOlive1968 Roggy (@RuthOlive1968) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Mine down today and it's a crucial time for my children's uni work with dead lines . Not a happy customer.

  • apt1955 Tony T (@apt1955) reported from Wythall, England

    @virginmedia is a case of complete incompetence by your engineers. Complaint reference is COM103375838. Have had no contact. What you can do is find out why a manager authorised a live cable being cut and get the engineers back to reinstate my service.

  • apt1955 Tony T (@apt1955) reported from Wythall, England

    @Bluhawk1875 @vmbusiness Hope not! Maddening thing is they were working next door to tidy up the awful cabling job they'd done when they replaced our cable, the guy rang his boss about what to do with the badly installed cable and was just told to cut it! No check to see if it was live!!!

  • ADaveWard David Ward (@ADaveWard) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia SMS sent. If you think a replacement SIM will solve the issue then yes please do send one. Thank you

  • apt1955 Tony T (@apt1955) reported from Wythall, England

    @virginmedia I have reported it at about 11.45 this morning. Wasn't given a fault reference, told a ticket had been raised and I would get a message to my mobile from field support engineers but it might be days before anything can be done. Heard nothing yet. Also raised a complaint as this..

  • apt1955 Tony T (@apt1955) reported from Wythall, England

    @virginmedia Unbelievably poor service! My broadband and phone line cut off by your contractors without so much as a basic check that the cable was providing service. Now got to wait days for service to be restored.

  • kittykaz13 Caroline James (@kittykaz13) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Thank you, yes, I just called them after it happened again! They are sending a technician out to see if the area fault from last Sunday has caused an issue on my line, as this issue only started then, a tech is coming out on Tuesday

  • paulasenior44 Paula Senior (@paulasenior44) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Please can you call me. I am ready to cancel if this is not resolved today. Your service does not meet even the minimum standard required.

  • baggies_i Adam (@baggies_i) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It's not some 😂🙈 it's everyone mate noticed my Google pixel just went to H+ from 4G so appears you've switched everyone to 3G while fixing the issue. #virginmobile

  • ChapmanGaynor Gaynor Chapman (@ChapmanGaynor) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia how long is this network going to be down. I can’t make calls on my mobile and I have no internet connection and haven’t had any since about 1pm , not happy

  • TheWebEngr Phillip | The Web Engineer 👨🏻‍💻 🌋 (@TheWebEngr) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia my wife is on the 4th phone call to you guys and is in tears beacuse she is stressed out by one of your operators who she cannot understand and has made her incredibly upset. My wife has major health issues and you are not helping at all.

  • mo4g_777 mo4g (@mo4g_777) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia maybe if virgin didn’t spend shedloads of money on crap adverts and looked after your customers better it would mean something

  • paulasenior44 Paula Senior (@paulasenior44) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I am away in Europe again from tomorrow and need a service that works. I have been on hold for 30mins several calls and your assistant cut me off despite a promise at the start of the call that they will ring straight back should the call end. I’m still waiting 2.5hr later!!

  • ubermodd spooky sad face 🙁🎃 (@ubermodd) reported from Lichfield, England

    why is virgin media down though

  • ADaveWard David Ward (@ADaveWard) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia My home WIFI is always quicker than when on mobile data. My wife’s @VodafoneUK network always receives first and quicker than your network.

  • JWilliams_94 Jamie (@JWilliams_94) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nothing about Wi-Fi on the service page but by looking at the other 1000s of tweets from people with the same exact issue I’m clearly not going to get a solution anytime soon

  • kittykaz13 Caroline James (@kittykaz13) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No known issues, there was on 28/04, same thing signal cutting out, supposedly fixed 29/04, but since then there were brief signal losses a couple times a day every day, another known issue raised 06/05 fixed the same day, yesterday had no problems, but today issue is worse

  • ADaveWard David Ward (@ADaveWard) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Checked with the team. New SIM won’t help with Push Notifications.

    @virginmedia Hey @virginmedia how’s that complaint resolution or response coming along? It’s been nearly 2 months and I haven’t heard from you?

  • orlabrowne Orla Harrington-Browne (@orlabrowne) reported

    @virginmedia having issues again with TVBox CS6002 error. 4th occurrence since April 2022 installation. Cannot get an engineer out to replace box (5min job)!! Shocking service. Need to cancel this substandard product/service

  • rosentweets Tomiyasu Røsenthal 🥄 (@rosentweets) reported

    @virginmedia I've tried to cancel my account with you so many times and after twenty minutes of waiting on the phone people just hang up I moved out of the place you're trying to charge me internet for seven months ago this really is a last resort thanks have a nice day 👍

  • neilhead_ Neil Head (@neilhead_) reported

    @virginmedia awful experience waiting in on a halfday 12-4pm engineer timeslot and virgin haven't turned up! Luckily I'm still within the 14 days of sign up so I best be calling sky?

  • bob_j_frozen bob_j_frozen (@bob_j_frozen) reported

    never let anyone in your household convince you to take a @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp subscription service unless you want to see your year on year monthly outgoings double within 6 years and have to phone them up to battle with them every year just to achieve that.

  • LouWhiteheadPA LouiseWPA (@LouWhiteheadPA) reported

    @virginmedia Just called that number and FYI it is giving conflicting information - that number says no service issues in my area, but your website says there ARE planned service issues in my area and they will be fixed by 3pm today. We still have no internet.

  • Bostonian7119 The Bostonian (@Bostonian7119) reported

    @virginmedia Can someone please help me & get an engineer to come out to sort the problem?

  • mboyhm mbyhm (@mboyhm) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, the automated phone message says that you’re working on an issue but the online status checker says there are no issues, which one is it please?

  • Theobane Theo Goyvaerts (@Theobane) reported from Dublin City, Leinster

    Anyone else having issues with Virgin Media internet being down? Bit of a pain trying to work off a hotspot currently.

  • FreddyHicarus Sir Freddy Hicarus (@FreddyHicarus) reported

    @jayrayner1 @virginmedia They ignored me when they were gonna charge me £40 more a month and I said I'd move to Sky. Then offered me £5 less per month the day before I was due to have Sky installed. They have no idea how to treat their customers.
