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

  • SharonBradbury Sharon Bradbury (@SharonBradbury) reported from Haworth, England

    @virginmedia you have an exposed wire that goes down the side of my house and across my back garden so you’re able to provide a service to some houses below. I can’t find any written consent from the previous owners of the house. Major work will be starting soon...

  • ryanchapmanx RC (@ryanchapmanx) reported from Blackburn, England

    How to waste my time 2019 - @virginmedia sort your customer service out :)

  • djbowers14 D J Bowers (@djbowers14) reported from Great Harwood, England

    Moved from @skytv to @virginmedia after 8 years and being a VIP customer with Sky. Poor service and a huge increase in price. Lost a longstanding customer. Now to try Virgin Media and see how this goes.

  • EmilyMc767 Emily (@EmilyMc767) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia It’s a media account, but it was more about the quality of the call. It’s not the way to treat a customer. Thanks

  • scottburnley scott mitchell (@scottburnley) reported from Colne, England

    @virginmedia can someone please get in touch with me has your broadband after 7pm is absolutely crap and I've totally had enough of it now

  • xNasminx Nasmin Shabir ♡ (@xNasminx) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia Yes I always use the service status tool... But still signal is constantly dropping, which results in resetting the router . Not happy to say we pay £45 a month for just broadband alone and can hardly get online most of the time... It's frustrating

  • mrtariqmahmood Tariq Mahmood (@mrtariqmahmood) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia lnternet very intermittent. Router fault. But you won't send replacement so I am changing to Vodafone. Sick to death of the awful service I get from Virginmedia.

  • subz_1 𝑺𝒖𝒃𝒉𝒂𝒏 🇵🇸 ⏱ (@subz_1) reported from Accrington, England

    At this point I don’t know whether my snapchat is down or my WiFi is aids #virginmedia

  • SamMcCartney Sam McCartney (@SamMcCartney) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @Craig273 @virginmedia No. I just want to cancel sky sports as for £31.75 a month I don’t get the use out of it. I was lied to saying it would affect my package discount. I already get BT sport for free and if Amazon will be streaming more it’s pointless

  • saeedahmed0 Saeed Uchiha (@saeedahmed0) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia your internet is awful! I’m not paying for a black box that flashes lights. Fix up

  • btownofficial_ officialBtown (@btownofficial_) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia why is it taking so long to sort out the fifa issue it’s *************** everyone who are on VM and want to play futchamps why can’t you give us a time scale on when it should be ready @NepentheZ @Itshaber @Marshall89HD

  • wesleyjodell Wes Odell (@wesleyjodell) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @PaddyTheBaddy @virginmedia Agreed. It’s terrible. Il be changing when my contract is up

  • mooseandme1 Moose And Me (@mooseandme1) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia you’ve sent me an outrageous bill with £35 in charges that you said you were waiving. Non of your call centres are open (undertandably) I cant get text support & there’s no other help available. You are going to bill me £120 for a £50 service and I can stop you.

  • Salma_abdx Salma Khan (@Salma_abdx) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia They have improved but this is a regular issue now. This should be looked into, especially with the prices you charge for the services.

  • ryanchapmanx RC (@ryanchapmanx) reported from Blackburn, England

    @geewelchx @virginmedia Mate I was on phone for a hour told them to shove their internet up their ass and going elsewhere Lmao their customer service is shocking so I did it back

  • Logical1966 Aaron (@Logical1966) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia what the hell is the point of not having a team available for broadband faults but you can send a link to log on to your website- I can’t access your website because I my bloody broadband isn’t working are you stupid or something 🤬🤬🤬

  • FunnyTrickster Vincent Brindle 🔶🌍🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@FunnyTrickster) reported from Burnley, England

    @jmtb18 @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Issues in Burnley too. It's been up and down like a yoyo. TV box light keeps flashing too.

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

    Switching broadband providers from Virgin Media to Sky is proving to be such a bad decision while trying to work from home these last 5 weeks. Multiple connection drops every morning. It's a poor situation when tethering to your phone data is far more reliable. @SkyHelpTeam

  • shadiebrfc_ Shadie (@shadiebrfc_) reported from Accrington, England

    Virgin media are so shit!!

  • SharonBradbury Sharon Bradbury (@SharonBradbury) reported from Haworth, England

    @virginmedia We are a customer but this particular cabling just services the houses below.

  • Simo19703 Simo1970 (@Simo19703) reported

    @virginmedia No, still unable to speak to customer services having been on hold again for 40 minutes plus my contract is due to end I need to either negotiate a new package or register my 30 day cancellation

  • Ripilido Mic ure (@Ripilido) reported

    @virginmedia But I already have to cancel in advance? So now I have to wait 45 days for a cheque for my months overpayment.

  • MJBrooke1 Matthew Brooke (@MJBrooke1) reported

    @virginmedia whats the wait time currently to speak to an operator about cancelling my broadband? Starting to think it would just be quicker to cancel my direct debit and wait for you to call me 👀

  • Sami__Saied Sami. (@Sami__Saied) reported

    @virginmedia I've been calling you all afternoon and have been cut off twice after being on hold for 1hr each time, absolute joke. Any alternative number to speak to a person and not just sending me the same link for support??

  • Alangiddy25 alan gidman (@Alangiddy25) reported

    @virginmedia I believe that’s who I have been on chat with . Like I said the deals they can offer are system generated and inflexible . I can cancel and then my wife can get a deal as a new customer , total madness been with you over a decade

  • JorgeJoanTW JorgeJoan 🏳️‍🌈 (@JorgeJoanTW) reported

    @virginmedia I have been waiting so far for 3h for someone to respond to the WhatsApp. The phone call was cut after 1h of me listening to your waiting music. I've wasted a day trying to cancel my contract with you guys, which is ridiculously difficult.

  • England_ イギリス田舎暮らし 老猫🐈とのんびり生活🍀🏡 (@England_) reported

    @virginmedia Can I add a note saying if I am not in, leave it to specific my neighbour? Also, can I ask you to leave a card if they leave it to my neighbour? Also, I would like to know your thoughts on £8.65. It is pretty bad customer service. I am happy to pay £43.25 but not £8.65.

  • adams_nic nicola Adams (@adams_nic) reported

    Your customer service sucks!! New virgin media box outside our house and the idiots who put it there have damaged our wall. No responsibility is being taken. Landlord will be seeking legal advice if not dealt with soon

  • adams_nic nicola Adams (@adams_nic) reported

    @virginmedia I'm not a customer. I am a member of the public who has a damaged wall thanks to your boxes having to be installed and I'm not happy. Customer service "couldn't find a complaints form" ... they just wanted to get rid of my husband on the phone. We need our wall fixing !!!

  • FotekDesign Fotek (@FotekDesign) reported

    @virginmedia I can't use the app because I have a Hub 4. Would like a Hub 5 upgrade though to get the most out of my Gig1 service.
