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

  • gilly8049 Neil (@gilly8049) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia It says there are no known issues. I've taken the white cable out and reconnected and rebooted and it makes no difference. Some sky sports channels are not working and just show error w02! This happens far too often!

  • elayne100360 Elayne (@elayne100360) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @mmould_pooleNHS @virginmedia Hear hear, my ombudsman complaint is still ongoing, they do not tell the truth about what they have done & customer service non existent.

  • DavidRice22 David Rice (@DavidRice22) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia Whether broadband is a utility or not is a point of view. From my perspective, it’s a utility. I accept no supplier can guarantee service. VM may be just be on an unlucky streak. Your service is presently not something I trust - based on current experience.

  • Philip_AnthonyB Philly B (@Philip_AnthonyB) reported from Poole, England

    @notorious_twub I was with @virginmedia for several years, no end of problems. And their customer service is shocking. I moved to @VodafoneUK for broadband and they have been fantastic. I won’t go back to VM.

  • Natalie05490147 Natalie Griffiths (@Natalie05490147) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia you offer the most horrendous service ever! 3 call backs promised and not received one! My quick start pack was supposed to arrive yesterday but didn’t. No communication what so ever! Unbelievably bad I would definitely not recommend

  • Gavin_Lifestyle Lifestyle Gardens Design & Build LTD (@Gavin_Lifestyle) reported from Poole, England

    @frankandreas3 @virginmedia Same down here mate. Took me ages to email you from the Mac tonight as WiFi kept dropping off. Off and on for over a week now!

  • LaurenSTompkins Lauren Tompkins (@LaurenSTompkins) reported from Bournemouth, England

    thanks @virginmedia I don’t have a working service as you say I have a bill to pay. According to the records next bill payment is due 04/05 but because your new installation charges are so high I’ve gone over the credit limit.

  • jasonjames056 jason james (@jasonjames056) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia stellar job as always.....not, internet up n down like ****** draws on demand not working and no way of finding out wtf is going on, due to I international call centre!!!!!

  • Natalie05490147 Natalie Griffiths (@Natalie05490147) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia I’m awaiting a call back from a manager to confirm from the new customer team that he can get a quick start pack out to me ASAP due to my unique circumstances. The manager John said he or a colleague would call me by Saturday. It’s now Thursday and I’ve heard nothing!

  • NikiNoox Niki 💜 ◟̽◞̽ (@NikiNoox) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia Im having issues (again) with the TV box. We cant access any shows we've recorded. Yesterday the internet was crap, today this. @skytv Can we join you 🥺

  • LaurenSTompkins Lauren Tompkins (@LaurenSTompkins) reported from Bournemouth, England

    Hey @virginmedia I have an issue with my account all to do with a new instal. Please can I talk it through with you to try and resolve it.

  • Greenerthegoat Luke Green (@Greenerthegoat) reported from Hamworthy, England

    @virginmedia hi ever since your connection went down the other day our WiFi has been appalling can you tell me if a signal is down in the area or something. Thanks

  • GordonFong 5G.ordon Fong (🍸🦐🦀🥋) (@GordonFong) reported from Bournemouth, England

    I actually spoke to the #virginmedia engineer who had to fix the fibres in Southampton the other week. A utilities company had cut through them down by the roundabout at the end of the M271 he said. Up all day doing that of which was done by another company!

  • no1toerag Louise Busfield (@no1toerag) reported from Bournemouth, England

    How do I cancel @virginmedia if no one answers the phone or messages

  • LaurenSTompkins Lauren Tompkins (@LaurenSTompkins) reported from Poole, England

    Interesting how @virginmedia can tweet messages on twitter but ignore messages from customers. Shows how bad their customer services are. Don’t blame Corona either.

  • steve_fall Steve Fall (@steve_fall) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia broadband down in BH12. My mobile reception is poor.. Any news on a fix. #WorkingFromHome

  • mattjlawrence Matt Lawrence 📣 (@mattjlawrence) reported from Bournemouth, England

    Please @virginmedia learn from the banks and offer your customers the option to pause services or waive cancellation charges for people losing their jobs. £80 to take TV off my plan after 15 years as a customer is not helpful

  • jennyjanepalmer Jenny Palmer (@jennyjanepalmer) reported from Bournemouth, England

    Are you joking @virginmedia broadband down again, this is at least the 3rd time in a few weeks.. and started before everyone started working at home..

  • Natalie05490147 Natalie Griffiths (@Natalie05490147) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia I’m disappointed in the lack of service! I’m a vulnerable customer and yet they don’t seem to be bothered by this fact! I get promised call backs and they never happen... I’m left with no facilities

  • ithastheanswer Stuart Jones (@ithastheanswer) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia broadband service checker says everything is fine my our internet has been up and down all morning. Started having problems about midnight - been unable to finish a game of Fifa weekend league today - router appears to reboot or lose connection

  • Jinx_Cee Steve (@Jinx_Cee) reported

    @virginmedia @MoneyTelegraph how do I escalate a complaint. Cs is a waste of time phones about 20 times going round in circles. 8 weeks on and still paying for what I'm not getting. Emailed CEO and no answer... what do I do to get it fixed

  • dg_eram drg (@dg_eram) reported

    @virginmedia it's not just placing an order. We can't even cancel the account WE are the one paying for but well, if you can't do anything I suppose the option is to look for external help as it doesn't seems very legal thanks anyway, have a good day

  • SamAFCDavies Sam Davies (@SamAFCDavies) reported

    @DannySaunders1 @ShaunsmithSKS @virginmedia Wish they’d fix mine instead of apologising and lying too me all day

  • G8merGuy Neil Mc (@G8merGuy) reported

    @virginmedia It’s ok I’m leaving and a complaint is I. As I’m not happy I’m not getting g 5G and your putting price up also. I was told buy an agent I can’t get 5G on my sim only when I enquired recently so I was told a pack of lies. And is and iPhone so it should be supported device.

  • DJLKP NEW PSiMiTAR VIDEO DROPS MONDAY 👊🏼 (@DJLKP) reported

    @AM76Design @virginmedia I run an Ethernet cable to stream and there's no issues... It's just bizarre

  • gindan82 Dan L (@gindan82) reported

    Excuse me, @virginmedia, I’ve no WiFi at home (or wife, for that matter, which is how my iPhone first autocorrected that)… and your fix estimate is 18:00?! How am I supposed to get any work done?!?!

  • ColinKeogh5 Colin Keogh (@ColinKeogh5) reported

  • birchk79 keith birch (@birchk79) reported

    @virginmedia Would hate to your slower version then the fastest is p!ss poor

  • Musicalgoose71 musicalgoose (@Musicalgoose71) reported

    @preccyprescott @virginmedia Absolute joke mate. 65 quid for bb and basic TV. I am not expecting any type of apology so just going to cancel ASAP. Going down to see him tomorrow to sort it out. God knows how long he has been paying that

  • Jennyhowe0312 Jenny howe (@Jennyhowe0312) reported
