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

  • Milesenberg Miles (@Milesenberg) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia my mum's landline is down and she's found your customer service that she's tried to call on mobile completely unhelpful. She needs an engineer to go to her house to fix it.

  • lazy__goth Tiffany (@lazy__goth) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No, it doesn’t, and the internet goes down again within hours, usually in the evening when I presume there’s high usage. We’re in a loop - report issue, told issue is resolved, issue happens again.

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    Looks like @virginmedia #virginmedia is down in Bristol again. Bravo. Idiots

  • steveparsnips Steve Parsons (@steveparsnips) reported from Stoke Gifford, England

    @virginmedia I have spent 7hrs40mins today in a WhatsApp chat with your customer services trying to terminate my broadband and still haven't finalised it. I will be cancelling my DD as I am paid up until May 4th and your hub will be available for you to collect if you wish

  • RedWoodyLFC DavidJWood (@RedWoodyLFC) reported from Bristol, England

    @SteTinsley @virginmedia Mind you its been up and down like a ****** draws all day Got very little work done

  • morefluids Sethina A Watson (@morefluids) reported from Bristol, England

    It is rubbish right now. Dropped my WiFi and couldn’t use mobile network. Service has been terrible past 3 weeks. Really bad @virginmedia #virginmedia Seems like it’s not just me

  • AlMaManshp AM🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🐾🐈‍⬛🐈🐕‍🦺🐕🐓 (@AlMaManshp) reported from Beechwood, Wales

  • TerryLeannepri1 leanne (@TerryLeannepri1) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with the broadband as it's down again and I can't ring 150 from my landline as it's coming up that the number hasn't been recognised

  • creativeskg Stuart Gallop (@creativeskg) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Your TV and internet services in BS8 Bristol are still down! When is this being resolved!? #VirginMediaoutage

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    Genius timing @virginmedia - webinar to deliver in 2 hours and now you go cold again. I’m not even surprised. Terrible company, utterly unreliable.

  • RedWoodyLFC DavidJWood (@RedWoodyLFC) reported from Bristol, England

    @JaydMulligan @virginmedia Bs3 working 90% since about 9.30 this morning It went down about 10 mins ago but now up and running

  • williamjbrown william brown (@williamjbrown) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia You put the prices UP and your service we get goes DOWN. How much are you knocking OFF our bills, after all there’s compensation when your trains 15 or 30 min late.

  • GiantVeg Kevin Fortey (@GiantVeg) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @emmalunn @virginmedia Absolutely. Just had to improvise from a mobile phone with similarly shocking service too

  • SamAndSnooper Sam&Snooper (@SamAndSnooper) reported from Bristol, England

    Looks like @virginmedia is down across the UK. The outage is so big it’s crashed their website.

  • DerShru Der Shru (@DerShru) reported from Bristol, England

    Saw a Sur rune drop but the internet suddenly cut out. @virginmedia does it again. #D2R

  • DerShru Der Shru (@DerShru) reported from Bristol, England

  • jamesmjharrison James Harrison (@jamesmjharrison) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia The image attached shows you have notified me of an issue

  • pistolpete303 The Pistol from Bristol (@pistolpete303) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia trying to call 789 this morning. Either does not connect or getting an engaged tone. Also website not working correctly. Is there a problem as need to speak with you ASAP?

  • KieranTrvlr Kieran Traveller 🛫 🏰🚢 (@KieranTrvlr) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have, and I get an automated service that hangs up on me after sending a text. I just want to order wifipods. I’ve tested the speed in the app, but it’s not allowing me to do anything. Chat doesn’t work, and calling won’t let me speak to anyone.

  • No_Bikers The EA 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🇮🇱 #FBAH (@No_Bikers) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, there was nothing listed. However I discovered via local media there was a major outage near Dumbarton, however there was nothing on the website or app. The call centre didn't know either. Lasted most of the day. Pretty poor Comms.

  • ThomsonEdwint Ed Thomson (@ThomsonEdwint) reported

    @virginmedia why have you changed the way I access my account on trying to login into Virgin Media? You are asking for a second e mail address to access! I don’t have one . No other options.

  • CraigMansfield0 Craig Mansfield (@CraigMansfield0) reported

    @virginmedia no communication on outage in Dumbarton from virgin media directly. Outage since 12pm. What is going on

  • dishesrdone74 Chris Denton (@dishesrdone74) reported

    @virginmedia my skysports app is not working. It asks me to sign in then verify my email address then won't let me in? Help please.

  • aquarius16th Neil Walley💙🇺🇦 (@aquarius16th) reported

    @virginmedia having completed the recent security update, I am unable to login to skysports app via the virginmedia 'button' on my android tablet as the link is not working. Any ideas?

  • Lindalou0207 Linda Lou (@Lindalou0207) reported

    @virginmedia sort out your links on the new My Virgin Media and My 02, the verification email takes ages to come through and the passkey link doesn't work, an hour of my time wasted trying to verify my account.

  • Amanda20125308 Amanda Beesley (@Amanda20125308) reported

    Worst customer service ever from @O2 Raised a complaint, several weeks later they tried to contact me but I was driving so they closed the complaint!!!! And all of this is due to the incompetence of the staff at the Livingston branch 😡 @virginmedia

  • RobRollin2 Audere Est Facere (@RobRollin2) reported

    @Tramzadol @virginmedia @VodafoneUK Honest i think the constant time changes are pissing me more than the actual outage! Its crazy bad!. Have you done the compo thing online? Make sure you do mate.

  • RobRollin2 Audere Est Facere (@RobRollin2) reported

    @Tramzadol @virginmedia Honest its a joke. Never had a issue with @VodafoneUK , i need to beg forgiveness and go back ASAP!!!!.

  • Phil0266 Phil Halshaw (@Phil0266) reported

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia it is now over 2 days since I have been unable to login in to my virgin media account or access Sky Sports via the Sky Sports App or via internet. When will this be fixed and where is the communication explaining the fault.
