Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Walton upon Trent and nearby locations:

  • something_phil Philip John 🇪🇺 (@something_phil) reported from Lichfield, England

    There are going to be *weeks* of follow up at @virginmedia about how the hell they allowed their own status page to be tied to their infrastructure. Pretty useless if your status page goes down when you do.

  • amarapickerill Amara Pickerill (@amarapickerill) reported from Walton upon Trent, England

    @virginmedia please tell me how to contact your complaints department as I have an ongoing issue with your mobile department that’s been raised over the last 12 months and no one can help me! #poorcustomerservice #virginmobile #complaint #help

  • sjbanks47 Simon Banks 🦁 (@sjbanks47) reported from Brownhills, England

    @virginmedia once again your online service status tells me there are no known issues in our area. I call to report I still have the intermittent fault I have had for over a week and told there is a fault in the area which may not be fixed until 12th March.

  • Timtastic10IAR Paul Rooney (@Timtastic10IAR) reported from Rugeley, England

    @virginmedia And down it goes again 😂

  • antbates1991 Anthony Bates (@antbates1991) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    @virginmedia It's for Virgin Media. Everytime I ring up to try and change something no one over the phone can ever find my account and because of this no one can help me. I want to cancel my package because the offer I'm on expires next month and the services are not worth £84.

  • YidBarmy David Rathband (@YidBarmy) reported from Burntwood, England

    Virgin Media customer service is non existent. 6 times today I’ve called to make changes to my package. I’ve waited on average 50 minutes each time only to be cut off each time. You can add to your package on line but you can’t remove anything. Just wait till normality returns...

  • Jeanybabesb j7b7 (@Jeanybabesb) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Have been with @ThreeUK since 2005...15 years and the service has just got worse...time to switch! What you got @EE @virginmedia @O2

  • caitlinaimeep Caitlin Parker🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️ (@caitlinaimeep) reported from Lichfield, England

    It’s like @virginmedia are trying to get people to upgrade their broadband during lockdown otherwise they’re gonna give you shit service 🧐🧐🧐

  • WieMenHo Wie-Men Ho (@WieMenHo) reported from Lichfield, England

    Not surprised re @virginmedia especially on the TV side - my issues remain unresolved following my attempts to reduce my tv package without being given the assurances or certainty of what channels would actually be removed and what would remain!

  • WieMenHo Wie-Men Ho (@WieMenHo) reported from Lichfield, England

    @virginmedia Again, why is it so complicated. Designed to frustrate the customer and so they stick with the more expensive package. Your team member could not understand my basic request, which is very concerning. Listen back to the call. Play it to @ofcom they have my consent to listen to it

  • antbates1991 Anthony Bates (@antbates1991) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    New tactics from Virgin Media, ring up to cancel, they say they can't find your account and then put the phone down. 🖕🖕

  • dan04harris Dan Harris (@dan04harris) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Hi @virginmedia just wanted to get in touch as just got off the phone with the bereavement team. All I wanted is to transfer the account to my mum as my Dad has died. But have been told you have to close the account losing our emails & leaving us without service for up to a week

  • stuwin1 Stuart Windle (@stuwin1) reported from Stenson Fields, England

    @virginmedia When I phoned the contact centre they said they knew there was an issue and it would be sorted in 24hrs. A quick google shows this isnt just me its a common trend

  • gupe1979 Guy Peacock (@gupe1979) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @KiaNFFC A few of my colleagues at work has been struggling all week with Virgin Media so sounds like there is a few issues still

  • GiLESzzzzz john giles (@GiLESzzzzz) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia I also have been trying do do live chat but that doesn't work either

  • sjbanks47 Simon Banks 🦁 (@sjbanks47) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @virginmedia your online service status says there are no known issues in my area. However when I called just with a broadband issue I was told there is a fault in our area. If your website was up to date I would not have needed to call and queue for 30 mins.

  • neilmjohnson72 Neil Johnson (@neilmjohnson72) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia You need to sort your customer service out, it is absolutely disgraceful. Your technical team are ignorant and hang calls up without situation. You are getting dumped!

  • Mark_Northall Mark Northall (@Mark_Northall) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @virginmedia I finally had a response now waiting for a techie to get back to me - I still don’t think I should gave to pay for a service I’m not receiving (High speed internet)

  • matthewaucote matthew aucote (@matthewaucote) reported from Lichfield, England

    @virginmedia Broadband been down all morning in Lichfiled area any idea of issue or timescale

  • _Chris_Seddon_ Chris Seddon (@_Chris_Seddon_) reported from Melbourne, England

    Looks like someone pulled out the wrong plug at Virgin Media HQ. Even their website is down!

  • KateKtam Kate (@KateKtam) reported

    @virginmedia It won’t run the test because there’s NO WI-FI!!!! I give up, this is awful.

  • patrickseurre patrickseurre@mastodon.social (@patrickseurre) reported

    ISPs seem to enjoy charging a loyalty tax to UK customers by periodically raising prices based on little more than the length of time the service has been paid for. Now on top of that @virginmedia are increasing my price by £7pm. Disgusting.

  • AlexB_Bacon Alex Bullard (@AlexB_Bacon) reported

    Cancelling Virgin Media broadband is like running a call centre gantlet. Incessantly asking needless questions, transferred to multiple people, ID checks each time, eventually they let you cancel... Having to phone to cancel things you can buy in 1 click online should be illegal.

  • MarkIGibson Mark Gibson (@MarkIGibson) reported

    @virginmedia Would this be relevant if the issue is with the connection rather than the router? It's the same router that we had before the move and it never dropped

  • _AshConnolly Ash Connolly 👋 (@_AshConnolly) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is probably the worst I've experienced. My inet was supposed to be installed on the 02/01, then moved to 28/01. Now installed, it still doesnt work. The cable to the house needs replacing. Ive been told it will take 2 months until it is fixed.

  • _AshConnolly Ash Connolly 👋 (@_AshConnolly) reported

    @virginmedia And will require a new installation, which doesn't make sense since all install has been done. I was also told by my virgin advisor that to speed it up, I should search my area for virgin installers, and then ask them to do me a favour and come fix it. It's pretty ridiculous.

  • andyy Andy Young (@andyy) reported

    finally able to switch away from Virgin Media and it's the same feeling of freedom as the day we first bought a house and knew we'd never have to deal with renting from a landlord ever again

  • KarenCrookshank woolNfluff (@KarenCrookshank) reported

    @virginmedia No. The password doesn’t work. There are still people on the forums whose issues have not been resolved.

  • MarkIGibson Mark Gibson (@MarkIGibson) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, think we've found out what the issue is. The engineer that fitted the connection has left the hatch open and cabling exposed on the pavement - so any movement looks like it drops the connection

  • AngieE11a Angela kavanagh 🇿🇲 (@AngieE11a) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried using that link before and my account cannot be located! With the same customer number and area code I was emailed by yourselves! And YES I have raised several complaints over the last few weeks. To be honest I don’t feel like you are helping me at all!
