Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Dudley, England

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

  • Mr_PaintPots David Wright (@Mr_PaintPots) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia As you can imagine, this has been discussed with many of your team, at length, with no resolution. The response is shambolic. Virgin is seemingly incapable of providing any service whatsoever in our case. Disappointing doesn't cover it, shockingly inept is a start.

  • DixeyBaker Sharon Baker (@DixeyBaker) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Broken again this morning after being ok eventually yesterday - managed to get through on the phones as it's still early - they are now checking and its been escalated and an engineer booked for Monday - progress of sorts!

  • MattyladKRO Matt Smith (@MattyladKRO) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia If they ring again I will cancel

  • M5Mahmud Nas Mahmud (@M5Mahmud) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyUK Just like to say compared to @virginmedia and @bt_uk your customer service is absolutely SHITE!

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’ll try texting. I only have 1 bar of signal

  • _baggyaaron baggy (@_baggyaaron) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia fuming. Just been in his for half hour for someone to end the call as soon as they pick up. Awful service

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Bit pointless now. As are you customer service team whenever I call, which is half the reason we cancelled! 😠

  • gmb_sarahjames Sarah James (@gmb_sarahjames) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia major loss of service 2 days now on broadband and tv, can anyone explain why please. Happy to send details via DM

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s only been in the past few weeks that it’s gotten so bad. I was getting updates 2 weeks ago from @EE saying they were doing work in my area, but have heard nothing since. Shame you don’t have wi-fi calling

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

  • EgglestonMathew Mat 🏳️‍🌈 (@EgglestonMathew) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s been an issue since we had it installed . Had 3 engineers visit. Never works at full speed

  • bevvyxo_ ✨ Hannah ✨ (@bevvyxo_) reported from Solihull, England

    Spent 45 mins on the phone to @virginmedia to agree a new contract. I didn’t receive the confirmation email as agreed so rang up to check only to be hold there was no record of it and they couldn’t honour it. 10/10 customer service there 🙄

  • 2108blondie Sasha Swapp (@2108blondie) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Used to work for the company know all about rebooting after a fix. Just done *** and TiVo box again whilst still waiting for someone to answer the phone and it still doesn’t work. Absolutely shocking

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    I can’t call you because @ThreeUKSupport are providing a crap service and have been for 3 weeks because of a bit of rain! Time to have a chat with @virginmedia @O2 @VodafoneUK I think, neither #Sky not #Three value customers. @Three_Is_Broken

  • hiltonleanne79 Leanne (@hiltonleanne79) reported from Birmingham, England

    Does anybody actually work at @virginmedia Customer Services! Have been on hold for over 20 mins on phone and is the second time I’ve had to call, no response on messaging either! Can anyone from @virginmedia assist before I raise this further with CEO @TomMockridgeVM

  • BrummieGem Lady Gemma (@BrummieGem) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia need to change their hold music - I’ve just listened to the same song 3 times!!! 😤 I’m sure they just want me to put the phone down!!! 🙉

  • DixeyBaker Sharon Baker (@DixeyBaker) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate your reply and I've done everything - its says no issues in the area but it said that yesterday and there was - I've had wrong service text come thru and all sorts- it's just not good enough

  • corbettcollins Ash Corbett-Collins (@corbettcollins) reported from Birmingham, England

    @gaz112 @virginmedia That'll be the same @virginmedia that sends passwords out by post, complete with other sign in information. They're pretty much a joke at this point.

  • mastergamelad Jack Turley (@mastergamelad) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia You're call centers are terrible. Just got hung up on. having miss calls and rmails about "money i owe" which i do not. get back to me asap.

  • hiltonleanne79 Leanne (@hiltonleanne79) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’m sure you’re really sorry...sorted now without any help from yourselves. I do hope your CEO is aware of how shockingly abysmal your customer service is and I speak from experience.

  • Gregzy66 Simon Gregory (@Gregzy66) reported

    @virginmedia Nope I’ve cancelled, the service I’ve received from your company is possibly the worse I’ve ever experienced

  • Krish1990 Krishan Patel (@Krish1990) reported

    @virginmedia I have been without any broadband for 4 consecutive days! Get your act together and stop fobbing customers off! Fix it!! 🤬

  • TRACEYBRO Tracey (@TRACEYBRO) reported

    Great customer service today @virginmedia 👍

  • IanKendallmagic Ian Kendall (@IanKendallmagic) reported

    @virginmedia Finally, after an hour on the phone, and explaining the situation to three different people (one of whom tried to blame 5 years of sketchy service on 'The Lockdown') I managed to end my connection. You do no favours by making it so bloody hard to leave. Make folk more resolute.

  • theilyasnajib ILYAS NAJIB (@theilyasnajib) reported

    @virginmedia It says no work, but it’s been playing up all day, even now it’s not working

  • reveggy Rev Eggy (@reveggy) reported

    @virginmedia I was told I needed something called a Plume over the phone. I get good speed downstairs but not upstairs. I was told a Plume would fix it but was told they could not send me one as they had none in stock. It takes over an hour to talk to a human. Would like a direct number

  • Phoenixrahman Phoenix Rahman (@Phoenixrahman) reported

    @virginmedia Syed just said have to follow internal process. No resolution was offered. The calls were of sales nature of Virgin media broadband services.

  • chris_davies86 Chris Davies (@chris_davies86) reported

    @virginmedia I did yes it says no known issues for my area. The router is about 6yrs old now though. The reason I ask about the devices is I’m struggling to connect my ring door bell to my WiFi but it connects to my neighbours WiFi fine so thought it could be congested

  • oms1845 RM (@oms1845) reported

    @virginmedia No as I end up stuck in an endless loop on the website directing me to another FAQ that doesn't help which links me round to another so a number of way to web chat would be good?

  • Phoenixrahman Phoenix Rahman (@Phoenixrahman) reported

    @virginmedia I never consented to be contacted for Marketing. I’ve registered with TPS both my landline and mobile. So I should not be receiving these types of calls in the first place.
