Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Kingswinford and nearby locations:
-
LVWLVS (@lvwlvs) reported from Cheslyn Hay, England@virginmedia Everything is running fine then my devices can’t connect. It takes me switching the router off at the wall and on again for the connection to reestablish itself. First world problems but it’s a pain when I’m working upstairs and the router is downstairs. And it should just work!
-
Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, EnglandIt looks like @virginmedia name servers are not accessible so no DNS records can be resolved. A major outage for their services. Seems to be no comms from them. @BBCNews are you aware? #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia
-
Andraay Leung (@Andraay) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia having issues with Wi-Fi at home and your websites including the one on service status checks are not loading? As a result I can’t even report the problem.

-
Pretentious Opinions (@OpiniatedOne1) reported from Walsall Wood, England@virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis
-
𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚑 (@beffycuk) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia Yes, and every-time it says no issue, when there clearly is! It interferes with everything, the hive, the tv everything! Really considering going elsewhere.
-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia I understand that your systems were down last night, which happens, but I’ve been on hold for 30 mins this morning. We have a text to say it’s resolved but it isn’t. I just need to speak to someone please.

Phil Queenan (@philq001) reported from Birmingham, England@Ian66232919 @virginmedia @02 have been awful and the reception is non existent, especially any where near Villa Park. May as well not take my phone out.

Garry (@paragaz) reported from Streetly, England@virginmedia hey. I am trying to speak to someone about my account but turns out nobody recognises my account number. Can you PM me to organise calling me please. I've tried the text message service

Stu Jones (@StuJonesMusic) reported from Kidderminster, EnglandHi @virginmedia, I am in Kidderminster, Worcestershire (DY11) and my Virgin Media broadband connection is very poor this week. I have checked your website & apparently there are no issues in my area. I have also restated my access point/router twice but no improvement.

Ronnie Harris (@redron1975) reported from Walsall Wood, England@virginmedia guess what ********* your system is down again. Useless pricks.
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec
-
Scott badham (@scbadham) reported from West Bromwich, England@virginmedia really disappointed in the service lately all it does is keep dropping. I’ve had no Internet services for the last hour again the fourth time this week and it’s still not working
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia I’m going to but I know I won’t get anywhere anyway the customer never gets anywhere
-
TheBosz (@kolapoagunbiade) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent. A/c number: 095063606. I was charged x2.5 of what i was tp pay.
-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM
-
TheShannimal🔜#i70 (@TheShannimal_) reported from Kidderminster, England@Cplcash @virginmedia Problem is other providers are so slow at installing fibre cables that most have no choice but to go with VM
-
Adie Hughes (@AdieJAMster) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

Investigation Findings The regulatory investigation covered calls made between January 1, 2022, and September 11, 2024. Ofcom found that MILLIONS of customer service interactions were mishandled to prevent or delay cancellations. Specific tactics included: • Deliberately dropping or hanging up calls when customers asked to cancel. Putting callers on hold for no reason to frustrate them Excessive and unnecessary call transfers between departments. Using a two-tier retention system where only specific agents were allowed to process final cancellations. THIS LOT ARE CONFIRMED CRUEL SCAMMERS
