Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Solihull, England

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

  • stevegoodman Steve Goodman (@stevegoodman) reported from Nuneaton, England

    @virginmedia - Out of contract and tried to switch to a deal on your website. Customer services refused, claiming the £250+ more a year option I'm on is the best you'll offer. I ended up cancelling, as I'm not paying over the odds - sad I have to leave though & hoped for better!

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Thanks you for this. I’m at work 12hrs today so won’t be calling. Very disappointed over the past 2yrs of issues. I’ve called customer services multiple times and made two complaints previously. Still not resolved so will be switching.

  • CrackingLeaders Carol Coombes O.B.E (@CrackingLeaders) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Bedroom installation contracted weeks ago for ill person. Didnt happen. Scant, apathetic apology, told new date might now be few weeks. Was held up collection from hosp awaiting techs that never came. We've no clue what's happening when, nor the effort to keep trying for it.

  • gmb_sarahjames Sarah James (@gmb_sarahjames) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Really disappointed with @virginmedia call centre staff this evening, asking 10 times in the space of 20 minutes to speak to a supervisor to resolve an issue is not good enough

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    Starting to have all the same Connectivity problems with @virginmedia as before even now we have their “best” hub. Fed up of having connectivity issues with our supposedly connected home. One minute it works, the next it stops for no reason. All settings checked and correct.

  • A_J_92 Ash❗️ (@A_J_92) reported from Birmingham, England

    So I left @virginmedia over 18 months ago as they tried to rip off a loyal customer and had no customer service experience or knowledge at all. I thought I'd give them another chance just by grabbing a sim only deal as the offer was attracting. say no more, Sim cancelled!

  • josh_moreton Josh Moreton (@josh_moreton) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes the whole service is down and I’ve already registered the faults over the phone and I’ve used the app to get text updates. But the resolve time keeps changing and there no description to the fault itself.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    As well as the hub randomly disconnecting from various home control devices; Alexa, Sonos, Dyson… the @virginmedia TiVo Box now seems incapable of playing BBC iPlayer! This service, despite having the most up to date equipment and checking every setting & connection is rubbish.

  • EmmaOohLaLa Emmie❤️🌹 (@EmmaOohLaLa) reported from Coventry, England

    @virginmedia I’m not happy tbh. I’ve always called on behalf of my mum in regards to technical issues as I set up account for them. I do all the calls regarding this and your colleague Avanash wouldn’t talk to me. Never had an issue till now, and I’ve had to wait 20 mins on hold for an answer

  • Wrightgal80 Kate Wright ◣ ◢ (@Wrightgal80) reported from Birmingham, England

    @BloxwichWolf @virginmedia They are beyond crap!

  • josh_moreton Josh Moreton (@josh_moreton) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia any news on what the issue is in west Birmingham, had no phone, internet or TV for 19 hours now. Fed up of ringing the automated customer service number.

  • kittykatrollins Helen Rollins (@kittykatrollins) reported from Birmingham, England

    Poor customer service from @virginmedia this morning. Phoned to discuss fraudulent callers to my landline. First advise was to call #TPS, I carefully explained that I was already registered with them. He then said, let me give you a number. I diligently wrote it down. Who’s that

  • A_J_92 Ash❗️ (@A_J_92) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia do you have an email address I can email on to cancel please I've tried phoning and its a joke!

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Chat session indicates there is still a fault, with an estimated fix of the 26th. So basically I can expect very poor broadband for over a week.

  • stevegoodman Steve Goodman (@stevegoodman) reported from Nuneaton, England

    @virginmedia No, I wasn't and that's why when customer service couldn't offer anything close to the competition or your own "new customer" offers I cancelled, prior to the first tweet. If you valued your existing customers, then once out of contract, you'd be able to offer similar deals.

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia After an hour in a chat session, which involved factory reset of hub, the problem persists. Agent then goes and checks to advise a fault in my area - estimated fix this evening. Wondering if I am now back into the old fortnightly failure cycle..

  • stevegoodman Steve Goodman (@stevegoodman) reported from Nuneaton, England

    @virginmedia I gave them a call before mentioning it on Twitter. I've sent in a complaint as a last attempt before I subscribe to another provider.

  • nigeyp Nigel P Harris (@nigeyp) reported from Birmingham, England

    Sick of the shit customer service in the uk. 3 calls to @virginmedia trying to get them to repay a credit & after being put on hold for 10mins they hang up each time. #Useless #virginmedia

  • A_J_92 Ash❗️ (@A_J_92) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I want to order the sim only which is on offer which ends tonight. I am trying to bring my no. Across from another network i have the PAC I've put this in the form when ordering online but getting an error message

  • licklemouse Stuart Cockerill (@licklemouse) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just wasted a whole hour sat on the phone with someone who had less than an a basic understanding of English what a waste of time only to be sent a new TiVo box who knows of this will work as she spent more time speaking to her work mates awful experience 😡
