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

  • hisotalus Hannimal 🇪🇺🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@hisotalus) reported from Bristol, England

    @Julie_B92 Especially when particularly young people might not be able to access internet for this kind of stuff on any other device than their phones. It’s so disappointing @virginmedia doesn’t reply to these tweets. I hope it’s an honest oversight and they’ll fix this.

  • mattyribbo Matt Ribbins (@mattyribbo) reported from Filton, England

    @virginmedia Wired. The issue isn't with my side of the network. It appears to be on the virgin side based on the router logs.

  • RebekahMorriss 🌈Rebekah Rhian🦄 (@RebekahMorriss) reported from Bristol, England

    @gavindp2012 @virginmedia It's really annoying because my cctv is ran by the WiFi and it needs resetting all the time it's down

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Complaint should have been obvious from ALL the comms I’ve sent. Contracted TV, phone, unlimited BB £79/mth. Can’t get phone line (waiting 8 months) but £105 DDs taken each month. Truly appalling

  • CharHodkin Charlotte Hodkin (@CharHodkin) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia worst customer service I have ever experienced geeeez just what you want on a Saturday....terrible team...don’t do it guys 😂 #BransonHaveAWord

  • chefwonderwebb nick webb (@chefwonderwebb) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia why has it taken 32 mins on hold to cancel my subscription! I’m still waiting to talk to the person I spoke to 15mjns ago! Terrible service

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia stopped our DD because you take excess ££ from our a/c. Called lots of times, written 2 complaints, been promised it’ll be sorted but empty promises AGAIN absolutely by far worse customer service I’ve ever experienced

  • shaner1989 Shane Richardson (@shaner1989) reported from Bristol, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @virginmedia @vmbusiness Hi, I think the issue is sorted now. @virginmedia has helped. Shame the call centre is awful though.

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia customers with difficult problems seem to be parked in telephone que until they go away. Really trying to work to Virgin. Still waiting 55 minutes bet they will just disconnect me!

  • KenTrowbridge3 Ken Trowbridge (@KenTrowbridge3) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Can we DM this issue please or give me a contact number where I can actually speak to someone without the intensely annoying waiting times. Thanks in advance and anticipation! Ken

  • mikelind2 Mike Lind 🦏 (@mikelind2) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia sadly having to post again. Home broadband down again. Your service is so unreliable it is useless. U have failed to provide a reliable broadband service and remain in breach of contract.

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    Virgin media service - connection goes down with 24 hours & no help from technical services, just reading from a script & no escalation. Giving up after a year of unacceptable service. Lovely and polite on social media, impossible once a customer #virginmedia

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia absolute disgrace. Advise via Twitter to make complaint, logged 2-no response, called lots no joy, promises result in nothing. Absolute shambles. STAY AWAY peeps!! Sky a dream in comparison

  • hisotalus Hannimal 🇪🇺🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@hisotalus) reported from Bristol, England

    On top of this since I changed to @virginmedia last week, they have sent me a marketing text message almost every day (Sunday is the only exception). I can’t find how to opt out of these and not sure blocking my network provider’s number is a wise idea. Never have I this quickly

  • shaner1989 Shane Richardson (@shaner1989) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia your support team are useless. 3 hours on calls today. I cannot get my time back that your operatives have wasted by hanging up or disconnecting 3 time.

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia long wait times 40+ minutes and no fix just another que and a recorded message that will be charged by ‘Virgin Gadget Rescue Team’!. Virgin sets new standards in Customer Service.

  • charleebliss_ CHARLEE BLISS ® (@charleebliss_) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia please can you help me with my order!! Tried to ring your offices but rude and useless

  • chrisandobe Chris (@chrisandobe) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia please get the mobile signal better in fishponds Bristol

  • JimEBallantyne James E Ballantyne (@JimEBallantyne) reported from Bristol, England

    After another 30 mins on hold I’ve given up for today as you’re impacting my evening @Virgin @virginmedia @richardbranson Crap service 👎🏻 you never know who might be a returning customer in the future and this is such a poor experience #BadService #CancellingDueToPriceHike

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia after nearly a year of repeatedly dropped internet service finally asked them to turn off their Wi-fi kit so can use my own. Basic connection fails, again, and nothing left for support desk to blame - challenge that if it’s not on the script then no help

  • andygubs Andrew Gubbins (@andygubs) reported

    @virginmedia Usual appalling customer service from @virginmedia

  • ZoeVPinder Zoë victoria (@ZoeVPinder) reported

    @virginmedia No it says there isn't. I have to check it a few times a day on day because the wifi is so poor and it always says the same thing. We book an engineer, they say it's fixed, it stops working and so it goes round in circles without any improvement.

  • chloemcnally MissMac (@chloemcnally) reported

    @virginmedia In the meantime what am I meant to do? Paying for a service that im most definitely not getting, how will you go about compensating that?

  • JamesPhil0410 philip james (@JamesPhil0410) reported

    @virginmedia The ombudsman are still chasing you for the money after winning the decision you don’t want to hold up your part even until this week they are still chasing you from November original problem from March of last year after being a customer of 20 yrs worst customer experience ever

  • sykesie75 Ian Sykes (@sykesie75) reported

    @virginmedia is your phone number still 0345 454 1111 as it won’t connect. I’m trying to contact customer service

  • amitrnout Amit Doshi (@amitrnout) reported

    @virginmedia Is anyone bloody going to bother replying or should I assume Ofcom/CISAS is the way forward to get these problems resolved?

  • premalmistry Premal Mistry (@premalmistry) reported

    @mbprajapati that's the problem with dealing with companies having monopoly in a market. Give Virgin media also a try.

  • _melk7_ mk (@_melk7_) reported

  • vividmedley Chantel (@vividmedley) reported

    Hi @virginmedia I’m not a customer but need an email address to contact you as I was hung up on after being on hold for 30 mins the other day and no one got back to me via your ‘chat’ function. I am due a refund. Thanks.
