Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Bristol, England

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

  • chrisorman Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    Just spoken to @virginmedia customer services about red light on my hub. They GUARANTEED that the light will revert to white in the next 24 hours. Wonder what happen if their guarantee fails?

  • LetRIP Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Yes. That isn’t the point though. Your website has no information about how to contact you. And your web chat takes 1 hour to do the task of reporting bad speeds. Your contact support needs vast improvement.

  • brizzlesean Sean Lewis (@brizzlesean) reported from Yate, England

    Honestly, #virginmedia , #Fortnite AND #rocketleague down on the same day?! My son has pretty much had an emotional breakdown.

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    Genius timing @virginmedia - webinar to deliver in 2 hours and now you go cold again. I’m not even surprised. Terrible company, utterly unreliable.

  • AcuharmonyUK Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

  • chrisorman Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    @virginmedia Tried to send you a WhatsApp message but got the following message back: "Thanks for choosing to Message us today. We don’t have availability to accept any more messages for faults at the current time." Why is getting help so difficult?

  • LetRIP Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia No. Your chat representative cut me off. Have wasted over an hour already. You must be joking if you think I’m going to waste more time on your awful service

  • williamjbrown william brown (@williamjbrown) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia You put the prices UP and your service we get goes DOWN. How much are you knocking OFF our bills, after all there’s compensation when your trains 15 or 30 min late.

  • RedWoodyLFC DavidJWood (@RedWoodyLFC) reported from Bristol, England

    @JaydMulligan @virginmedia Bs3 working 90% since about 9.30 this morning It went down about 10 mins ago but now up and running

  • KieranTrvlr Kieran Traveller 🛫 🏰🚢 (@KieranTrvlr) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have, and I get an automated service that hangs up on me after sending a text. I just want to order wifipods. I’ve tested the speed in the app, but it’s not allowing me to do anything. Chat doesn’t work, and calling won’t let me speak to anyone.

  • SamAndSnooper Sam&Snooper (@SamAndSnooper) reported from Bristol, England

    Looks like @virginmedia is down across the UK. The outage is so big it’s crashed their website.

  • pistolpete303 The Pistol from Bristol (@pistolpete303) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia trying to call 789 this morning. Either does not connect or getting an engaged tone. Also website not working correctly. Is there a problem as need to speak with you ASAP?

  • LetRIP Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Quite the worst customer contact centre ever. Website does not offer phone or email contact. Only way to get web chat is to go to complaints page. 1 hour to get a 1 minute task done. Deliberately cut off twice. #poorservice

  • DanielFry23 Daniel Fry (@DanielFry23) reported from Filton, England

    @bt_uk No need to Matt, appreciate your concerns I’m just saying your service currently is the same level as virgin media who I’m with which always cuts in and hot. Too many users using the overcrowded boxes

  • hurleyb0b Rob Hurley ✈️ (@hurleyb0b) reported from Bristol, England

    Hey @virginmedia there’s something VERY wrong with my Wi-Fi. I followed your online instructions and it didn’t clear the problem. I have a really busy few days. What’s the quickest, easiest way of getting it sorted?

  • williamjbrown william brown (@williamjbrown) reported from Bristol, England

    @O2 @virginmedia Shame you can’t even cope with the odeon cinema tickets every week counts down to time then all I get is “something went wrong”

  • CloudHQ Mark Andres (@CloudHQ) reported from Bristol, England

    Internet outage in Bristol BS14 / BS4 @virginmedia please give a status update

  • DerShru Der Shru (@DerShru) reported from Bristol, England

    Saw a Sur rune drop but the internet suddenly cut out. @virginmedia does it again. #D2R

  • jamesmjharrison James Harrison (@jamesmjharrison) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I can’t use a different browser as I have to use my phone’s 5G as the internet down…

  • DerShru Der Shru (@DerShru) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia another outage again? Fix your ****

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • rachmilligan Rachael Milligan (@rachmilligan) reported

    @virginmedia you have been digging up around my house for days with no prior notice. You’ve splattered concrete on my car. You’ve had vans & lorries blocking my driveway. Where shall I invoice you for the damage and clean up?

  • lmh139k lmh139k (@lmh139k) reported

    @virginmedia did that already. Fact is your network is broken and you know it and a whole neighbourhood knows it yet you fob us off with “check cables” “is it plugged in”. Admit your network is broken and tell us honestly when it will be fixed. No lies no fob offs

  • CatherineSHW catherine wakeling (@CatherineSHW) reported

    @virginmedia I rang the moving department and put me through to customer service and they said they had to put me back through to the moving department,

  • Skottalot Scott O'Toole (@Skottalot) reported

    @jawaid_mr @virginmedia It's an issue with apple products, it's nothing to worry about.

  • ckclancy Charlotte Clancy (@ckclancy) reported

    .@virginmedia tried to change the name on my account but instead u opened a 18 month min term contract at a much higher price without my consent. Been back & forth between teams all day and no one can help me. Please help. @OmbudServices

  • Steve60982586 Steve 💙 (@Steve60982586) reported

    @virginmedia had 3 phone calls saying they were you and there was a tech issue. Had great fun stringing them along for around 5mins each.

  • Tihi07409725 Ti.hi (@Tihi07409725) reported

    @virginmedia how can we get through to customer services? Have had issues with intermittent connection for over a year, factory resetting of the router doesn't work. Logged a complaint 0402212730 beginning of February and no one had contacted us about it.

  • shirleymarah Shirley (@shirleymarah) reported

    @virginmedia There is an issue you are working on. It's been unavailable all day and ETA for a fix now saying 19:00. This is unacceptable. Will a rebate be given for a days lost service?

  • hinagesh Nagesh (@hinagesh) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia issue with my broadband speed, & broken connection. Complained about it many times. 3 times engineer came and replaced the box, service improved after one year. Asking why VM is charging when you don't provide a service. Don't assume we are getting money from trees.

  • Phoebe_Lee93 Phoebe Lee (@Phoebe_Lee93) reported

    @virginmedia would like to know why I am receiving no internet. Says connected without internet. I have tried the whole reboot shenanigan. Cannot get through to anyone either. Is this a issue you are having? Because it was fine one moment and now can’t get it at all.
