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

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia are actually have the WORST customer service ever. No wonder they have never won any awards

  • HellsbellsO Helen Walsh-ONeill (@HellsbellsO) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia hi are tv and phone line are not working can you help WA8 8BS

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I get the same result hard wired with Ethernet too. It’s not a wifi issue. Also I’m not sure how wifi would decide to ignore an increase in speed and decide to limit itself to the old speed coincidentally. Someone on your end hasn’t enabled the faster speed to my property.

  • DarrenMoggie66 Darren (@DarrenMoggie66) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia how can you put my bill up yet new customers can have the same for £30.00 cheaper ,20 years a valued customer but no incentives to renew my contract

  • joanreece jo m b (@joanreece) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia why is your internet so rubbish? We get a bit of rain and wind and the whole TV goes off with no connectivity its woeful. We have sat here for a few hours now with no tv at all and were paying £49 a month for wifi that doesnt work!!!

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Hi John. Still no resolution I’m afraid. It’s getting closer to next bill date. Which BTW I’ve received two bills for. One at £27.49 and the other £113.00 and a double bill request which is laughable! I still don’t get why the next gen box is influencing my request. Today please

  • tgomez7 gomez (@tgomez7) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to cancel my account for over a week now. 5 calls made and still nobody has been able to help me. This is an absolute joke!! Please tell me how I can do this in writing?

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia we have been trying to arrange our virgin services to be moved to our new house since 23/11/20. We were supposed to get a call back from one of your guys yesterday to help with a self install - no joy. Since yesterday I’ve spent over 3 hours on hold, been.......1/4

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia There’s no known issues. I shouldn’t have to spend 30 mins on hold trying to get through to you to have an issue corrected that hasn’t been done as part of my contract agreement. Shouldn’t you be able to call customers when you have an agent free who can make outgoing calls?

  • torisprung Tori Sprung (@torisprung) reported from Liverpool, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We haven’t been booked in. Following some quick and informative enquiries, @virginmedia can install a new service in 3days; yet, a @SkyUK engineer can’t come out to us for over a week? When we pay a monthly small fortune, this all feels like terrible customer service

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia The text messaging team that says it aims to respond within 4 hours but hasn’t responded to me since 11am yesterday? Basically I have no option now but to sit on hold in a queue for 30+ mins to fix a problem you’ve created by not upgrading me. Your customer service is awful.

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    Nearly a week after signing up to a new contract with @virginmedia they’ve still not upgraded my speed to what we agreed to. Their Twitter support refuses to acknowledge the issue and my complaint hasn’t been picked up yet. I guess they don’t care once a contract is agreed.

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    Great work from @virginmedia, your contract has expired, we want you to stay as a customer, we’ll give you the best deal out there! Give them a call, sorry can’t help, you’re on the best package, but we want to charge you £40 a month more than a new customer! #shitshow

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    @nickleeland @virginmedia I asked to speak to someone that could help and got “my supervisor is on 14 day isolation”. Ok put him on the phone as I’m guessing he can work from home? Computer says no! Poor poor service!

  • blandsteve Steve Bland (@blandsteve) reported from Knutsford, England

    @virginmedia Yes. No issues identified.

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia This is the exact type of poor service I received when I called customer service. The package I am currently on is £89 for a new customer, but £129 for a loyal customer. The response back was “that’s all I can do”. Your response is almost as bad “don’t like it, raise a complaint”

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia The hold times aren’t the issue. I’d wait happily if I got an answer at the end. The issue is being hung up on after an hour then having a call answered only to have to listen to dead air for over 30 minutes while whoever is supposed to be helping has forgotten to logout ....1/2

  • garethlongley Gareth Longley (@garethlongley) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia what the hell is going on with your internet!? I’ve been holding to get through to your customer service department for almost an hour now (after being cut off twice!). I’m ready to cancel this AWFUL service!

  • m_stephens8 macauley stephens (@m_stephens8) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is the worst for speaking to an actually person🤯 adding packages unauthorised then making the bill nearly double.. jokers

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia ....before going to lunch. Your system is set to terminate unanswered calls after just over an hour. This is much more enraging than having to wait in a queue. We’re British, it’s what we do. We DO NOT HANG UP on people. It is beyond rude. #rude #virginmediasuck #stillnointernet

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • weldrake13 James Weldrake (@weldrake13) reported

    @virginmedia The support desk seem to know what the issue is and be able to see it, that’s not the issue. The problem is that I have had intermittent connection for 5 months and VM won’t even book an engineer to come look

  • kathnalan Kathleen Jolley (@kathnalan) reported

    @virginmedia Your online web chat service wont put me through to you

  • Hussainfatih Hussain Fatih (@Hussainfatih) reported

    the shittest customer service award has to go to @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia @Ofcom how many times do their advisers say they've made a note on the account only not to have done, so you then end up having to explain the same thing to 3 different people the next time (on & on)

  • PsychoClaw mrc1978 (@PsychoClaw) reported

    @virginmedia The engineer came out as we are getting 2mbps instead of 200. He checked the hub and did everything he could but still couldn't get the speed up and said he would get the outside cable changed. Nearly 2 weeks down the line we're still using our data package as this isn't working

  • AnnelieseMaria5 anni (@AnnelieseMaria5) reported

    @virginmedia we have supposed 500mbps broadband and yet, my laptop can't connect to the WiFi long enough to maintain a phone call??? Please help

  • kathnalan Kathleen Jolley (@kathnalan) reported

    @virginmedia When you click on Virgin Complaints you get a msg “Oh, ******.We can't find that page.Maybe the link you clicked is broken or you typed in the wrong address.Perhaps the page doesn't exist any more.Or maybe it's just a glitch in the matrix.” Good plan to not respond to complaints

  • DanielmjEnglish Daniel English (@DanielmjEnglish) reported

    @virginmedia Won’t be ringing again the customer service is absolutely dreadful. Will cancel through my bank.

  • sapperben Ben Monaghan (@sapperben) reported

    @virginmedia No. It is not the case. Perhaps the automated sentence case made it difficult. But the message rolled over two posts was supposed to read “I’m after a refund for services I’m not getting and the problems solved.”

  • weldrake13 James Weldrake (@weldrake13) reported

    @virginmedia Yea multiple times. I don't know the eta for the current issue as my status page never reflects when there are issues

  • BobbyB1981 Rob Blackett (@BobbyB1981) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t know what to do to get my issues resolved. Your call centre advisors pass me around all their departments or hang up on me. I logged a formal complaint and your complaints team don’t respond in the 28 day timeframe. Where next?
