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

  • PhilCampbell_ Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia Yes there's no issue on the checker. The connect app says it's fine except for a few times it's said the connection is poor. But 1mb some nights is ridiculous...

  • David_Preece David_Preece (@David_Preece) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yet again my internet is down, just had half service for 2 months and it worked for 10 days now gone again... yet you still take full payment out my bank, I see this a theft...

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

    Yeah, an Internet outage during lockdown can do one. @virginmedia B24 area.

  • PhilCampbell_ Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia Still having issues. Was on hold for 1 hour 20 yesterday too and also got cut off...😑

  • jadedurnallx jade💓 (@jadedurnallx) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia are absolutely useless. Have over 100 properties with Virgin Media Broadband, and you’d think they’d attempt to fix issues and keep our future custom. Safe to say we’re looking for another supplier if there are any recommendations...

  • seannahj Seánna Holland (@seannahj) reported from Kenilworth, England

    @virginmedia so current outage in my area and predicted fix time is 4pm tomorrow??? Surely that can't be right?

  • Ade1701 Ade1701 (@Ade1701) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia After more than FOUR HOURS on the phone I eventually got someone competent from billing to confirm I am eligible for one free booster and someone else to talk me through fixing the security issue. You seriously need to prioritise vulnerable customers!

  • Rob_Hallmark Rob (@Rob_Hallmark) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hello. Since I signed up in may I have never been able to log into my account. I never received the welcome email etc so don’t know my account or customer number. I have tried calling and they said they resent the email but nothing. What can I do?

  • Jod_69 Jo (@Jod_69) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again today 4th time this week. Really will have to rethink providers

  • Ade1701 Ade1701 (@Ade1701) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia First thing I did, and I run them regularly. Only 53.46 Mbps download and just 9.99 upload on a supposedly 100Mbps service! On a wifi laptop right next to the router it’s just 23.43 and 10.08

  • DiDav246 Diane Davies (@DiDav246) reported from Coventry, England

    @virginmedia it is unlikely to be a record bearing in mind previous experience but we have now been on phone to you for 1 hour 45mins and still problem not resolved

  • Jod_69 Jo (@Jod_69) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hi. Second time this week no internet. Monday was all day. Can’t get thru to you by phone. What is going on with my service?

  • Ade1701 Ade1701 (@Ade1701) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia Still on bloody hold! Can somebody in the Virgin Media call centre please pick up the damn phones!!! What the Hell are vulnerable, elderly customers supposed to do?!

  • PaulSimmons66 Paul Simmons (@PaulSimmons66) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Today we received outstanding service from Jack the engineer from virgin media. He was polite friendly and determined to rectify the fault which he did. A credit to Virgin media thanks Jack

  • Ade1701 Ade1701 (@Ade1701) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia Network security warnings, poor speed (even on direct cabled link to router), and we need a wifi booster which with the broadband, phone and tv package I believe is included. Still on hold after two hours! Wasted yesterday waiting for a response on so-called ‘live chat’!

  • seannahj Seánna Holland (@seannahj) reported from Kenilworth, England

    @virginmedia Still waiting..... this is beyond a joke now... appalling service absolutely no updates and no communication #virginmediadown #poorcustomerservice @virginmedia #Shocking

  • Ade1701 Ade1701 (@Ade1701) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia Don’t try and pass the buck! It’s NOT a windows issue, it ONLY occurs on this Virgin network!

  • DiDav246 Diane Davies (@DiDav246) reported from Coventry, England

    Now been on the phone to Virgin Media for 1 hour 45 mins and problem still not resolved

  • beast_gbgolfer Colin Joyce (@beast_gbgolfer) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Doesn’t work says account question is wrong so can’t change password and can’t access account think it’s hacked 1 hr waiting on phone your service is poor

  • dpaudioUK dpaudio (@dpaudioUK) reported from Birmingham, England

    Well after 2 months of broken internet, it was fixed for almost 2 weeks now it's gone again. Fix date is 16th Nov and yet they still charge full price... @virginmedia

  • joeysuquet Joey Suquet (@joeysuquet) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Have spent no less than 15 hours with customer service and still no resolution on setting up broadband internet. A truly horrific experience trying to become a customer.

  • saraobeidat Sara Obeidat (@saraobeidat) reported

    @virginmedia Great so before I wake up every day I will make sure to check my internet provider's "service status checker" to see if it is within my destiny to have internet that day. kind of like the weather app, or a crystal ball. Maybe there's also a dua I can recite to increase my chances

  • harrietlotte Harriet Isles (@harrietlotte) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I have spent a total of 4 hours trying to end my Broadband contract via phone. I keep getting passed around from team to team then get disconnected. PLEASE can someone help me.

  • clairef14739894 claire firth (@clairef14739894) reported

    @virginmedia sick to death of not being able to access online services. Online chat not available don't recognise sign in even though signed with fingerprint. Fed up with no WiFi signal and fed up having to ring and listen to loud music. Seriously looking at leaving.

  • Ratydon2 Ratydon (@Ratydon2) reported

    @virginmedia So you referring me to a Web chat at customer services who are hardly at work and incompetent .. and not today but tommorow ... Great thanks fir your help.. but you are as much use as a fairy in hell .. bye

  • dorafwrites Dora Eff (@dorafwrites) reported

    @virginmedia I hope so. I do understand that things go wrong sometimes, but VM’s procedure for reporting/complaining/getting information is very inadequate. It seems designed purely to avoid blame & compensation claims, rather than to help customers.

  • RobertMillbourn Robert Millbourn (@RobertMillbourn) reported

    How can virgin media be SO terrible

  • chrishares Chris Hares (@chrishares) reported

    @virginmedia No problems in my area *cough*

  • dorafwrites Dora Eff (@dorafwrites) reported

    @virginmedia You’d think. But because the broadband occasionally comes back on for a few hours - and VM say it’s fixed - mysteriously I’m never eligible for compensation. Per my previous message.

  • swifty2Fifty Nick (@swifty2Fifty) reported

    @virginmedia Every day it feels like. raised a complaint on here a while back and a technician was going to call me, believe I need a new hub, but never received a call
