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

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

    Thanks for the reply @virginmedia but in your instructions following your system check on your site it states you will be sending a signal to my hub to improve something. Nowhere does it date for me to do a pinhole reset. So which is correct because you need to correct something

  • Mossymossy3 Danny Moss (@Mossymossy3) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is the worst I have ever encountered, I have been transferred 9 times and no resolution, utter joke , I will be cancelling all my services with you. What a disgrace

  • JamieEveriss . JAY! (@JamieEveriss) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia can you please advise how I’m able to log a complaint?

  • Aaliya_UK Aaliya (@Aaliya_UK) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Not officially complained as hoped it would be resolved due to repeated reassurances I’ve had! Shouldn’t have to log a complaint for your error (verified by your engineers)! Cost of GP Partner husband (&my) time far exceeds cost of line rental we are paying for no landline!

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @virginmedia Someone actually looking into my account, the issues I've had and money back would be nice

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia There are known issues in my area. Apparently 2 days in a row at, what i would imagine, are peak times. I seriously need to consider a new provider. This is getting beyond a joke for the money that I pay

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

    @virginmedia are the worst I’ve known them in 15 yrs! I’ve had no tv for the last few days and an engineer coming in a week! Really! Also have an outstanding contract issue since March 23rd. Promised call back by managers but never comes. Avoid them!!

  • sophiemorbey morble (@sophiemorbey) reported from Birmingham, England

    Within 24 hours of me ringing @virginmedia, we’re up and running with broadband (it’s also dead fast, bonus) 👏🏼 If anyone is considering @NOWTV for internet, PLEASE don’t bother. They are honestly the worst provider I’ve ever come across.

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @Phlebian @Truthisaperspe1 @virginmedia If you go to there website and type in your postcode it states if there are issues in the area. I am aware of how to report issues and how to check for them without making contact, when call always same response of the script they have in front of them. No human aspect to the cal

  • omarqureshi Omar Qureshi (@omarqureshi) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia What's the procedure if this isn't rectified? It's not a unusual request, yet I'm around 10 days without phone service.

  • Aaliya_UK Aaliya (@Aaliya_UK) reported from Birmingham, England

    Had v patchy internet, when @virginmedia resolved it in April, they connected the wrong cable, cutting off our landline for pt calls (mobile blackspot) Numerous promises frm managers @virginmedia & “urgent service requests” since. Last engineer visited yest. Still not resolved😡

  • abbiewx_xo Abbie Walters (@abbiewx_xo) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia Any advice on why our virgin media boxes have just decided to stop showing some channels. It says error code (W02) and this is on TLC which we used to watch daily?? Joke. What’s the point in paying for for a service which isn’t being provided?

  • mavMclovin77 STEEEB (@mavMclovin77) reported from Birmingham, England

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

    @virginmedia hi. Trying to get through to you but permanently met with an automated voice. Please can someone contact me. We’ve been having broadband issues for a long time. tried to log into the hub but it says someone else is already logged in. We really need support from you.

  • Davidjocksmith David smith (@Davidjocksmith) reported from Birmingham, England

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @MartinSLewis You really shouldn’t advise people do get Virgin Media, absolutely appalling customer Service, took me 2 months to escape them even though my contract had expired.

  • bathers bathers (@bathers) reported

    2 days without internet and 3rd day in 5 where the internet has failed. @virginmedia - you keep claiming it's fixed (presumably to avoid a refund) but it is *not* fixed. We've had a good service from you for 4 years at this address, but since upgrading, it's been terrible.

  • Omarnsiti Sheikh omar (@Omarnsiti) reported

    @virginmedia even though they ask me if its ok to call up my number if the line drops, no one ever does. i have called multiple times and i was told id have to pay a 250£ fine to do so. How can i be asked to pay this much when you are not providing a proper service. i cant use my internet

  • invertedworld Mark Hammond (@invertedworld) reported

    @virginmedia Tried that. Also on iPhone I managed to get signal but same,m

  • Richard_1B Richard Borrowdale (@Richard_1B) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t log in as I cancelled before being activated. Complaint was about Virgin Media sending a field sale advisor (conman) to get me to sign up using lies and deception, and then fraudulently asking for information, such as password to current ISP and mother’s maiden name.

  • DIZZYDJC Daniel John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@DIZZYDJC) reported from West End, England

    @virginmedia It's both. I have been doing some digging and it's the upload speeds. They are not getting anywhere over 2MB /sec which is not good enough. It has been very slow over the last couple of days

  • blvrrym8 lucy (@blvrrym8) reported
