Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Leicester, England

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

  • itslakeyyy Kieran Lake (@itslakeyyy) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia No issues reported. A reboot of the hub seems to do the trick however it’s an inconvenience doing that 4-5 times a day.

  • jonnyriall Jonathon Riall (@jonnyriall) reported from Shepshed, England

    @virginmedia No issues reported and yet again I can't access any on demand TV tonight.

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia Often get “internet unavailable” and phone line hasn’t worked since we moved over from Sky. Fair to say unless it gets sorted soon I will be going back to Sky snd getting a refund for having no working phoneline. Been a terrible experience.

  • dowdall4 andrew dowdall (@dowdall4) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia absolute shit show

  • alisonllove1 Alison Love (@alisonllove1) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia I had good service chatting via Twitter but elsewhere absolutley useless

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I don’t know what the issue is but trying to work from home without Broadband that is supposed to be better than Sky isn’t helpful. No one seems bothered about the phone line either!

  • jonnyriall Jonathon Riall (@jonnyriall) reported from Shepshed, England

    @virginmedia It doesn't feel like paying £50+ a month for no fancy services (basic TV and broadband) this is great customer service.

  • jasonpaulhirons jason Hirons (@jasonpaulhirons) reported from Narborough, England

    @virginmedia well after 10.5 hours of being on the phone to customer services and getting nowhere a ray of light called Linda the manager at Bellshill sorts it in 15 minutes it's a shame that you feel the need to offshore when theres genuine talent in this country

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia The usual, turn off and turn on again. No solution to the phone line not working though

  • El_Lloydie Gareth Lloyd 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 (@El_Lloydie) reported from Leicestershire, England

    Had enough. @virginmedia service in the past 18 months been truly shocking. Made a complaint last month and still not heard anything. Now trying to get hold of someone and doing the Krypton Factor would be easier! Sort yours (and my) s**t out Virgin Media!

  • KevinRenshaw5 Kevin Renshaw (@KevinRenshaw5) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I have continually been passed around departments. This morning it was sales that told me they would have me back on this afternoon. I can never get back to the same department through your automated system and I don’t have any numbers for contacting you directly.

  • corfu1957 Paul Roberts (@corfu1957) reported from Leicestershire, England

    So now I am on the phone to the help line and the waiting starts and as usual virgin media fail again

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia Will be later. Just got back now to do some work and internet down again! Needs resolving as I mostly work from home.

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried but can never get through on the phone. Done a few web chats though

  • corfu1957 Paul Roberts (@corfu1957) reported from Leicestershire, England

    50 mins talking to an engineer who then couldn't connect the new box and now have to have an engineer come out to sort it @virginmedia you need to get your customer service sorted

  • KevinRenshaw5 Kevin Renshaw (@KevinRenshaw5) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia Just done it and cut off after being put through to manager after 20 minute call. Today you had the gall to bill me for changing my service when you incompetents were the ones that cut me off. Your customer service system is pathetic as well @Ofcom

  • KevinRenshaw5 Kevin Renshaw (@KevinRenshaw5) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I raised a complaint last Monday ref 77397383 & was told I would receive a call from you but as with everything else that failed to happen as well

  • jonnyriall Jonathon Riall (@jonnyriall) reported from Shepshed, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply. On both occasions there's apparently been no issues, and none shown again this morning. It's more the fact that even though it happened twice in a week, and having waited on hold for 30min each time, I just get told to call back if it happens again.

  • stumac8 ★Stu Mäc★ (@stumac8) reported from Glenfield, England

    @Leicester4life @moneybanks14 @ImTheDoctor @virginmedia @AmazonHelp I never tried it on the tivo box just on a firestick and it was crystal.

  • KevinRenshaw5 Kevin Renshaw (@KevinRenshaw5) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia you are an absolute disgrace of a company with simply the worst customer service I have ever encountered. You have disconnected my service and after numerous calls and promises over 4 days I still have no service. Pathetic!

  • MikhailPMF Mikhail St Catherine (@MikhailPMF) reported

    @virginmedia why does no one want to answer the phone, on hold for 1 hour. I want to cancel for a number of reasons, one being shocking customer services

  • FedUpFreddie369 FedUpFreddie (@FedUpFreddie369) reported

    @virginmedia I was offered another Web chat to arrange an appointment to resolve the issue, my concern is that everytime I speak to someone privately I am told I must pay for 2 months of service I have not had. This has gone on since November 25th!

  • deezed David Zell (@deezed) reported

    @blobbybobber @virginmedia Call main service number, press option for people thinking of leaving and you’ll talk to a real human being …. In the UK. Make sure he or she stays on the line if they put you through to someone else. Good luck!

  • JaniceP90483744 Janice Preston (@JaniceP90483744) reported

    Virgin media a joke...3 days now trying to contact them to cancel account

  • couiza Cat B (@couiza) reported

    @virginmedia Doesn’t look like I have much choice.. I have had no internet for a week..I am unable to reboot the system as I cannot reach due to my injuries. I live alone..I have no family.. and currently have a broken leg so need the Internet for shopping .l.currently using my 4G

  • StephLamby Stephanie🐑 (@StephLamby) reported

    @virginmedia It would have been good if this was obvious, at NO point on the website it tells you to click the link on the website. Please can you advise of the best number to ring so I can cancel my order and go back and follow the link? Thank you

  • C_Simpson_92 CSimpson (@C_Simpson_92) reported

    Hi @virginmedia Am trying to leave your broadband services as I am moving house, but I'm constantly getting the message of 'we cannot take your call right now...please go online' except the online help directs me back to your phone. Can you help here?

  • babymable Jen (@babymable) reported

    @Catrabbit75 @virginmedia Having the same problem. I've been waiting 57 minutes and I only have 3 days left to cancel. I don't have time to sit and wait all day trying to get through. They should have the option to cancel on our virgin media account online.

  • APr1ce1985 Andrew (@APr1ce1985) reported

    @virginmedia I'm up to nearly 6 hours on hold over the last few days trying to cancel. Don't know why I have to be sent through 3 departments to get this sorted.

  • NareshSavalia Naresh Savalia (@NareshSavalia) reported

    @virginmedia Can't hold anyone over the call for the cancellation request. Terrible service 🙄😔
