Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Smethwick, England

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

  • PhilTonks2 Phil Tonks (@PhilTonks2) reported from Dudley, England

    @alexfenlon @TalkTalk @virginmedia I sincerely hope you don't end up with a fault. I was with @TalkTalk for many years until a fault last year. Quite honestly the worst company of any description I have ever dealt with. Totally failed to resolve, now much happier on @virginmedia

  • BenLimehouse Ben Limehouse (@BenLimehouse) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia I'm an existing customer, I've been with you for coming up 2 years. The colleague I dealt with was so unhelpful and just told me to call back on the 16th. I have a back up plan anyway as I've just spoken to sky and can get a 80mb for £25. I can afford the 20mb loss for £34 saving

  • PhilTonks2 Phil Tonks (@PhilTonks2) reported from Dudley, England

    @alexfenlon @TalkTalk @virginmedia If they mess me about, I'll simply move. I was lied to, ignored and never resolved with @TalkTalk - and they have the cheek to send me rubbish about how they "miss" me. Try doing anything with 0.3mbs.

  • 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.

  • Samyg1 Samantha 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Samyg1) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Yes it’s valid and in use as I’ve been using on my mobile phone. The issue I had was because I needed to access on laptop and couldn’t remember password

  • BenLimehouse Ben Limehouse (@BenLimehouse) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia I have already called that number this morning. They told me there was no available deals. I've put a note in my diary to call back on the 16th. I'm not holding out much hope though considering the poor experience I've had today. I wanted to sort it today on my day off.

  • violah31 Carol Herbert (@violah31) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia has terrible customer service. I’ve spoken to 3 people and still can’t leave #cancelation #held_hostage 😡

  • BigBraLady Karen Tomalin (@BigBraLady) reported from Dudley, England

    Intermittent broadband, no phone line and unable to log into the @virginmedia on line account as we don’t exist. Puts the tin lid on A completely crap day.

  • edbaker1965 Ed Baker (@edbaker1965) reported from Redditch, England

    Well that call to @vmbusiness about #VirginMobile has seriously made me reconsider being a customer #Rude #Unhelpful and unable to offer any support other than ring Mon-Fri 8-6 HELLO business works 24x7 #21StCentury

  • EgglestonMathew Mat 🏳️‍🌈 (@EgglestonMathew) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia That’s says no known issues. So I think there’s an issue with that too. Broadband doesn’t appear on any searches it’s like it’s disappeared . There’s an engineer coming tomorrow

  • KittykatClaire Claire B 🙌🙌 (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    Oh No my internet isn't working and I only have a bit off data left. thank you @virginmedia its probably the worst time for you to break when we all have to stay in..

  • goingabitgrey John McKeon (@goingabitgrey) reported from Birmingham, England

    @brumcyclist It’s a good haggling tool when trying to get the price down with virgin media

  • violah31 Carol Herbert (@violah31) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to tell @virginmedia but the process is so complicated I was losing the will to live. Staff #rude and #persistent

  • ManStickCar Louis @ MyBusyMind (@ManStickCar) reported from Birmingham, England

    @VirginMobile @virginmedia proved to me that they don’t do customer service. We waited a month for a phone sent to a wrong address, & then had to collect it ourselves. We also proved the phone had a fault from the start, but now we’ve been told to claim on insurance and pay £125!

  • evansaviography Andrew Evans (@evansaviography) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia @siandsal Well here in Solihull 120miles north no one on Virgin has a mobile signal either!!!

  • Caitlin__Wilson Caitlin Wilson (@Caitlin__Wilson) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia is actually the worst. Imagine paying money for WiFi which goes off multiple times a day and is slow even when it’s running well🥴

  • ChrisPresslie Chris (@ChrisPresslie) reported from Wednesfield, England

    Ive im hard wired and im port forwarding it should ******* work phoned up only to be told "oh we can't help with port forwarding" @virginmedia

  • Lysander_16 Lysander (@Lysander_16) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @virginmedia For now everything seems to be okay. Just frustrating when you're trying to stream and the internet does down for 7 hours.

  • ChrisPresslie Chris (@ChrisPresslie) reported from Wednesfield, England

    If im hard wired and im port forwarding it should ******* work phoned up only to be told "oh we can't help with port forwarding" @virginmedia

  • rich_pemberton Rich Pemberton (@rich_pemberton) reported from Solihull, England

  • singularityspnt Shaun Aaaaaahllan 😷💀 (@singularityspnt) reported

    @littlecinnamon @virginmedia My wired connection is fine but my wifi is useless. Great when I'm working from home. Had to get power line adapters and network cables to sort it until I can spare the time to be in a queue for 90 minutes.

  • JayeRosamond Jaye Rosamond (@JayeRosamond) reported

    @virginmedia why is it so hard to cancel my order!? I need to do this so my new one can start. I currently have no Internet now! I’ve been on the phone for 2 hours with no answer to the cancellation line!! I’ve also tried your text message with no answer.

  • OSINTwannabe Brian (@OSINTwannabe) reported

    @ClaysandBirds @Jake_Hanrahan @virginmedia Damn, pretty good satellite internet!

  • MarypSheridan Mary Sheridan 💙 (@MarypSheridan) reported

    @virginmedia Cancel the account - am advised the phone line due to close on 20 Feb but Broadband still active. I rang last week to cancel both. Priority line needs to remain active until moved to Sky.

  • m_minaaaaa M (@m_minaaaaa) reported

    Anyone else finding @Virginmedia to be unbearably slow and patchy today?

  • HallStjohn StjohnHall (@HallStjohn) reported

    @virginmedia any chance anyone can actually help me with cancelling tivo??? Honestly this has turned into a joke and I've been on hold forever and a day. I'm bored now.

  • jonflyingtiger Jonathan Smith (@jonflyingtiger) reported

    @virginmedia No - you moved it back about 10 days ago and just told me you need to do more work outside our house, even though the guys who came to dig up my front garden told me they’d done everything. the issue is the moved appointment and then appalling lack of customer service.

  • woodingian1 Ian Wooding (@woodingian1) reported

    @virginmedia Can you tell me if that is enough to cancel the contract

  • Katyshe Katy She (@Katyshe) reported

    @virginmedia 1 hour and 25 minutes on hold and I have been cut off. I am absolutely disgusted with your customer services. Can you please tell me how to cancel my account. I am not wasting another minute of my time!!!

  • M0USE_UK Mouse_UK (@M0USE_UK) reported

    Sorry everyone! due to technical issues also known as @virginmedia there wont be a stream today! They appear to do more 'maintenance' than the service is on for
