Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Bristol, England

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

  • 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

  • amy_noony Amz (@amy_noony) reported from Bristol, England

    Virgin media make me 🤬 Been with them for 6yrs (no other option in our flats), paid their extortionate prices & received pretty poor intermittent service. Moving house & they don’t supply our new area 🥳 but they would like to charge a cancellation fee of £30.38

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

    @BorisJohnson I can only get virginmedia (at an extortionate price) as it’s the only one who supply more than slow basic speeds - and this is the centre of bristol. Nothings improved for most of us - not only for this but everything else since you’ve wrecked our economy

  • algro10 Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England

    @10sam_h Yeah likewise, virgin media awful still not sorted it

  • gillih Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia I have got this sorted with your team now. Helpful person. But I suggest changing your auto system to give callers an idea of wait time. Better customer service.

  • brizzleboy pete jones (@brizzleboy) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @virginmedia Sadly the phone never gets answered,we know if they did answer, someone in the retention centre might even help?

  • chloehester Chloe (@chloehester) reported from Bristol, England

    Why does @virginmedia online chat never work?! Its a nightmare trying to get through on the phone 😭 I just need to change my package ffs.

  • emmainglasgow emmainbristol (@emmainglasgow) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia what's the deal, my box hasn't worked for 2 days??? This is the 3rd technical problem lasting more than 2 days that I've had this year. This is ridiculous now

  • gillih Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Bristol, England

    Hi @virginmedia I want to cancel my account. Still waiting to speak to someone after > 1 hour. Advice please?

  • BRFCSamuel Sam 🏴‍☠️ (@BRFCSamuel) reported from Kingswood, England

    .@virginmedia telling us to sit and wait for 24 hours without internet just incase our Wi-Fi starts working again before they’ll actually do anything, great customer service… not 👍🏻

  • BRFCSamuel Sam 🏴‍☠️ (@BRFCSamuel) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia This contact was via the phone. He did give a reason, the reason being he didn’t know what the problem was. So told us to sit here and wait with no Wi-Fi and hope it sorts itself out.

  • 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.

  • AndyMWilcox Andy Wilcox (@AndyMWilcox) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia My broadband keeps disconnecting. This is my 4th time contacting and it gets worse each time you apparently fix something. Please can you fix it. I cannot work at home and I’ve just been booted out of your online chat to resolve the problem!

  • j_bettany Jacob (@j_bettany) reported from Clevedon, England

    So many scammers calling from '@VirginMedia Technical Support' at the moment. 5 in 24 hours. I've taken to suggesting they might think about getting a different job but heartbreaking to get the response, 'can you give me one?' It's basically #organisedcrime built on #poverty

  • 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?

  • algro10 Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England

    @stewartcarter6 Appears it’s a Virgin media issue , shambles

  • xChuChux911 Hi, call me Chu x (@xChuChux911) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I never gave out any personal information as I knew it was a scam cus I'm with Sky. The number was 02045099664 but it was spoofed. Lady had an Indian accent and said technicians in my area had fould a fault which was affecting my computer.

  • sarahellenk1 SarahellenK (@sarahellenk1) reported from Westerleigh, England

    @virginmedia please can someone help me. I need a number to call you on

  • 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

  • ThyHolyJebus77 James Gorman (@ThyHolyJebus77) reported

    @virginmedia Your text channel has sent us into a loop telling us to call your phone support that is hanging up on us after an hour of waiting on hold. This is dreadful that I've been trying for months to speak to someone and just keep getting ignored.

  • north_n_south Steve Smith (@north_n_south) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia Still waiting for one of the floating staff to help? Hotspotting off my three mobile phone contract and then paying you guys for broadband is not what I signed up for. 🤬

  • Garzhvog Sek'wah (@Garzhvog) reported

    Why does every landlord insist on using virgin media, like **** off its just awfullllll

  • iangallagher82 Ian Gallagher (@iangallagher82) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, I've already made a complaint. Virgin TV Go not working when I want to watch live football, plus my broadband dropping out three times during client meetings in one week is not the service you should be providing for what you charge.

  • JASIMO64 JULIE SIMMONS (@JASIMO64) reported

    @virginmedia At the end of this after another hour back and forth you won’t be able to help me , you’ll say I need to speak to the tech team and need to call in ! Which it is impossible arghhhh

  • LizzieRolley Lizzie Rolley (@LizzieRolley) reported

    @virginmedia I give up. Complaint raised.

  • Lauren06386985 Lauren (@Lauren06386985) reported

    @virginmedia "the best way to get in touch is to call us", but that doesn't mean they'll ever answer, even after an hour of waiting on hold they will just hang up on you.

  • dprboy88 Dprboy88 (@dprboy88) reported

    @virginmedia It was arranged in Friday for yesterday or today at the latest. Seeing as it took a large thread on here to get a callback re a complaint over 28 days old, I thought I should give you a heads up it’s getting to the end of day.... rather than chasing tomorrow when it’s late!

  • Zoemovelle Zoe Griffiths (@Zoemovelle) reported

    @virginmedia I nearly failed my degree because I had no internet, my anxiety and depression is at an 11 because you are trying to take advantage. And I still haven’t been contacted about my open complaint in cjm.

  • Ilovecompstoo katie robertson (@Ilovecompstoo) reported

    @virginmedia is there any way someone can help me change my broadband package as the phone lines are busy so I'm unable to ring.
