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

  • wightpie Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent

  • gazbullsfan22 Gareth Rider-Smith (@gazbullsfan22) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia Yeah, we have been charged wrong for the past two months even though the account was clear when we entered a new contract with you, now we been challenging it since August! Told manager will ring and then they don’t and then you charge us wrong, and then to make your customer

  • NJWesthead NJW (@NJWesthead) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia Broadband/TV outage until 2:35pm but can’t register a loss of service as page doesn’t load. On 4G so problem is with you. Why advertise you’ll compensate if there’s no way to get it?!

  • WillBr1875 Will_BRFC.1875 (@WillBr1875) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia There isn't anything that could help with the problem because I don't fully understand what everything is or means etc It could do with a technician to have a look, something similar as happened before and you sent a technician out

  • wightpie Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant

  • braysoj1 Jonny Brayson (@braysoj1) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia why is the picture Quality so bad on the sky sports red button

  • braysoj1 Jonny Brayson (@braysoj1) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia internet gone down bd22 6hn

  • Debbie_Cleo Debbie Ioanna (Author) (@Debbie_Cleo) reported from Queensbury, England

    @virginmedia honestly... your call centre/arranging anything is absolutely shocking. Twice had something arranged, twice its not happened and wrong things noted. Please sort out your call centre. This poor engineer has just turned into a complaints department

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia still no broadband in bb3 area since Thurs & update now says tomorrow for fix. Shocking customer service, why can't you tell your customers what is happening instead of saying an engineer is on the way on the updates, at least then we would know what to expect

  • WillBr1875 Will_BRFC.1875 (@WillBr1875) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia Hi , I just wanted to ask if you could help me concerning my Internet at home , its not been working all weekend at all, it connects but nothing please can we sort the problem ASAP Thank You

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia bb3 area: internet has been down since yesterday morning & update it's not going to be fixed till tomorrow. I have a online business to run & kids need to do their homework online, can't stream any tv either. Can I ask what the issue is & why its taking so long?

  • IamAbulShelby 𝔸𝕓𝕦𝕝|𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕓𝕪 (@IamAbulShelby) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia @BexInfante mine is now not working at all

  • gazbullsfan22 Gareth Rider-Smith (@gazbullsfan22) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia when is someone going to ring us back after the failure to apply the package to our account we sorted on the phone yet still hasn’t changed or a manager ringing back to deal with the complaint. Shocking services but soon quick to mailing bills out!

  • WainwrightDean Dean Wainwright (@WainwrightDean) reported from Accrington, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for fixing it this morning, I trust given I’d no service for circa 36hrs I’ll see a credit upon my next bill?

  • jaswinburne1 James Swinburne (@jaswinburne1) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia It’s technical issues with the broadband and network stability issues. No one wants to help, I’ve spoken to 3 technicians and no one has offered a resolution. Joke

  • LovecloughKev Kevin Kitten (@LovecloughKev) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia Why is your WhatsApp chat so rubbish for the 4th time i have been kicked off. Terrible service

  • gazbullsfan22 Gareth Rider-Smith (@gazbullsfan22) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia Service even worse you demand full payment and then will credit our account for your error and breach of contract! Your customers service staff rude! Demanding money before we can speak to anyone well I wonder what a solicitor would have to say with copy of the breached contract.

  • MATTYB00SH 𝕄𝔸𝕋𝕋𝕐𝔹𝕆𝕆𝕊ℍ (@MATTYB00SH) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Yes it works on my phone browser, but not on laptop, so I'll just continue using that method, thanks. One more question; Why do your customer support agents ask for a security password that I use when speaking to an agent, despite being a new customer and haven't set this up yet

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I've seen that already thanks, but it's not going to help the kids with accessing homework online. no I am not on a B account as of yet as I have only just started out in the last week 😑 but even if I was on a B account it would still be off so doesn't make any difference

  • jaswinburne1 James Swinburne (@jaswinburne1) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia No one has offered a resolution. I have the same conversation time & again.... “I have reset your router”

  • richard_swan Richard Swan (@richard_swan) reported

    @hutchingsmusic @virginmedia It’s more about the fact that I pay £95 per month for it, and it goes down a bit too often for my liking... Bah humbug! ;)

  • Boshek6 Boshek (@Boshek6) reported

    @virginmedia am I able to cancel my tv and phone and just leave the broadband using the online portal anywhere. I’d rather not have to call. I have better things to do with my time.

  • paddygriff Paddy Griffin (@paddygriff) reported

    Anyone’s Virgin media down at all in Ballymena

  • T19TPH FIFA (@T19TPH) reported

    @HowardBenson We’ve had Virgin for 24 hours, the last 12 hours we’ve had no internet phones or TV. Not good enough - should I cancel as this is a sign of things to come or stick with BT? @virginmedia

  • mockage Pedro (@mockage) reported

    Hey @virginmedia. Turns out this lockdown Christmas sucks even more that we don't have BB on Christmas day to video call family. Any idea when this will be fixed? Chap on the phone was no help other than to tell me not to worry, others are also facing the problem. :(

  • ProphetNex Cenred (@ProphetNex) reported

    @BorisJohnson I could have gotten a better deal with virgin media, put those shameless thumbs down

  • avipaul Avipaul (@avipaul) reported

    @virginmedia I was told it's a wider issue. But I was also told it would be resolved last week. Today and yesterday I'm getting speeds of 19mbps. Meant to be getting 200mbps. Not a merry Christmas in this household.

  • Mellonudrigle12 Stephen Regel (@Mellonudrigle12) reported

    @kategarraway @skytv Hope it is sorted now. Similar problems with @virginmedia been trying for the last 5 weeks to get through/get them to call etc. For companies worth billions their customer service leaves a lot to be desired- putting it politely!

  • AmanChandhok1 Aman (@AmanChandhok1) reported

    @virginmedia Merry Christmas. You’re still down by the way. ETA on the fix is apparently today at 4pm. Fantastic timing to go down btw

  • renstroost Rens Troost (@renstroost) reported

    Merry Christmas @virginmedia now please fix your broadband outage in se5
