Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Smethwick, England

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • terrysankey Terry Sankey (@terrysankey) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @SimonADouglas @virginmedia We have the occasional internet problem but since the last announced 'update' the hub seems to be resetting itself. Doesn't matter to the 'wired' machines but obviously disconnects the WiFi! Irritating as the restart times are long and inputting the names/password is a pain 🙄

  • ArcanumDesign Bill Bishop (@ArcanumDesign) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia Tom, I already have, and they refused to match the same cost when the introductory offer finishes. You are still over charging me £125 p.a. for being an existing customer. Please have a UK customer manager contact me

  • AmbitiousMusic AMBITIOUS 🎶🎸🔊 (@AmbitiousMusic) reported from Birmingham, England

    Ok so the @EE connection on my phone is far superior then my home @virginmedia WiFi. May switch. #virgin is crap!! 🖕🏽

  • tomstrumreed tom reed (@tomstrumreed) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia There's nothing there relating to broadband issues.

  • Wolvesblogger Nathan Lloyd (@Wolvesblogger) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Cheers for the top. Yes, tv & broadband services issues with an estimated fix time of 23:55. I may have to crack open the Scrabble & the candles. Now I know how people felt in the black outs during the war!

  • Sammykins9486 Samantha (@Sammykins9486) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s media. I have sent off the details to change account holder name and heard nothing back it has been over 2 weeks, can’t get anywhere when i contact your call centre. I need a change to our services and need support with this

  • wthirskgaskill W. J. Thirsk-Gaskill (@wthirskgaskill) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Please concentrate on getting up the noses of broadband customers, and stop running shit trains, and suing the NHS for money that was never yours in the first place.

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

    @idlecreative @virginmedia They probably won’t tell you much but it’s definitely a regional problem me and other I know are suffering the same problem with all the other people putting it too Twitter

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

    @danhounslow @virginmedia They are bull shit! I sit next to the router and sometimes have to take my phone off WiFi so things load.

  • 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!!!

  • Wolvesblogger Nathan Lloyd (@Wolvesblogger) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Intermittent problem. It’s back on & then it’s gone again. Very frustrating.

  • BenAubury5 BA (@BenAubury5) reported from Tamworth District, England

    What a joke @virginmedia are. On the phone for 1hr 29mins just to cancel a phone contract. I ask them for an email address to make a complaint and they say they don't have one 🤣🤣 I will never be using this company again

  • Mitz__P Mitesh Parmar (@Mitz__P) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia do you have broadband issues in #Solihull as the service appears to have gone down. According to your service status page tho there aren't any issues 🤔 I beg to differ!

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

    Feel sorry for the poor bloke at Virgin Media that’s answered the phone to Matthew

  • 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

  • Sammykins9486 Samantha (@Sammykins9486) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It is a media issue, I sent off the documents over a month ago confirming new account holder , no reply or confirmation this has been actioned at all. Weeks on end trying to sort one issue that should be easy is unacceptable

  • AmbitiousMusic AMBITIOUS 🎶🎸🔊 (@AmbitiousMusic) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Your service has been shit for years. Need a change

  • 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..

  • WMalpass Woza (@WMalpass) reported

    @virginmedia John, happy to have a webchat but this is only one issue we have had and still not resolved.

  • jackoncc1701 Shaun Jackson (@jackoncc1701) reported

    @virginmedia So order placed watch included & charge, not sent, advised it would follow in 28 days, then not being sent, being called a liar, advised complaint legitimate then closed, advised I’m being charged for Watch that has not & will not be sent, damn straight going to @financialombuds

  • Angie_Spoto Angie Spoto 🔮 (@Angie_Spoto) reported

    @virginmedia It would be helpful to get an accurate estimate so we can plan ahead, instead of getting uninformative updates AFTER we were told the fix was supposed to be complete. How can we be confident we'll have Internet before the work week?

  • willanderson93 William Anderson (@willanderson93) reported

    @virginmedia @LutzSchueler perhaps you can help help out here? I'm sure 6 broken promises isn't how virgin wants to operate. Can you please just get me a call back for the 7th time asking. Your WhatsApp team have my case.

  • HeyItsOst Phil 🏳️‍🌈 (@HeyItsOst) reported

    @virginmedia Service checker advised no issues. Done pin hole and reboot. Couldn't find a number to call so raised a complaint on my account.

  • jjsmoothie Jean Jacques Smoothie (@jjsmoothie) reported

    @virginmedia Please I beg you give me an email contact so I don't have to waste anymore time on the phone and can explain my problem!!

  • SCubair Steaphan Cùbair (@SCubair) reported

    @Angie_Spoto @virginmedia You ain't the same affected area I am. No one is able to tell when service will be restored. But according to Virgin there's no breach of contractual obligations...

  • ihatewestwood Ihatewestwood (@ihatewestwood) reported

    @virginmedia No, I needed my user name and password which is the issue.

  • RussTaylor83 Russ Taylor (@RussTaylor83) reported

    @virginmedia Incomming connection is continually unstable. Goes between 1MBPS to 40MBPS to 10 MBPS constantly…

  • willanderson93 William Anderson (@willanderson93) reported

    @virginmedia @LutzSchueler , you see what I'm dealing with?! Please wade in here before your Twitter team tell me to phone you after they have broken 6 call back promises to me over the course of a few weeks. You do run a telephony company don't you?! 🤔
