Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Birmingham, England

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

  • CosmicHustler Alien-**** (@CosmicHustler) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia Any chance of some kind gesture of goodwill to a very long-term customer (Telewest days) and long-term isolator due to suppressed immune system, struggling without a working & very necessary distraction...

  • whatsyourtwitta AM. (@whatsyourtwitta) reported from Birmingham, England

    Ffs my @virginmedia wifi is down…again 😤😤😤 - apparently I need to wait till midday tomorrow to get it fixed?!? No Netflix, no Xbox no nothing tonight ffs

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Broadband connection and WiFi are stable but connectivity is intermittent-keeps losing connection every few minutes for 30 seconds. This is a network fault but I cannot find an option to report it. B90 1LB

  • gingerandnuts Ginger and Nuts (@gingerandnuts) reported from Brownhills, England

    Well @virginmedia you have let so many people down with no apology or update. Disgraceful.

  • WulfrunianChris Chris Burden (@WulfrunianChris) reported from Wednesfield, England

    My contract with Virgin Media has run out and they want to up my contract price by DOUBLE. When I rang up to cancel I expected them to offer me a better deal and they were just Ok bye.

  • Suzanne_WW Suzi 🧡🖤🧡💕 (@Suzanne_WW) reported from Dudley, England

    @Samyg1 @virginmedia We have no internet DY1 issue?

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

    @O2 @virginmedia Further to this, he has now told me that as I get a £15/month discount for my 1st 6 months with O2, I need to cancel that and pay full price in order to get the extra #Volt speed boost with VM

  • FuryZhil Dave (@FuryZhil) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I -think- my services are down due to maintenance in my area. I received a text from you apparently but no email or letter. Any news on how long this is?

  • SteveWa13630733 Steve Walters (@SteveWa13630733) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia problems with emails all day. Message keeps saying try again in one hour. But no emails since 835am this morning. Are you aware of this problem? Any news on a fix for it?

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia You only pay out for a total loss of service. So it can be unusable but still limping along and you won't pay out. Personally I am hoping for another provider to get around to rolling out fibre in my area.

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia No estimated time. "It's a complex problem". In other words its a network fault not a line fault. Why isn't the number you shared available on your website? The service checker is useless in this scenario. The website says it's working when it isn't.

  • pasty_pete Peter Brocklehurst (@pasty_pete) reported from Solihull, England

    Good old virgin media down again twitch in one week and I’m told two to three days before anyone can come out yet I bet the bill will arrive on time

  • SteveWa13630733 Steve Walters (@SteveWa13630733) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia @matty_gilbert94 Can’t check service status page - that is down too

  • measlewolf Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia do you have a known issue with the sports channels? They aren’t working and the phone-line cuts me out off.

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Your system sent me a satisfaction survey. Needed to complete it using mobile broadband because my virgin broadband doesn't actually work, but is apparently working enough to not qualify as being out of service.

  • nickywolko Nicky Rowe (@nickywolko) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia my new tv box has arrived today and I can’t use it as our area is still down. Our broadband was down yesterday. At least it’s only the tv today it’s not as if we are without power or heating like some parts of the country. Customer services were helpful

  • anna_newbold AnnaBluez 🌧 (@anna_newbold) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia what's up? No TV or telephone line & your website & customer services have crashed Have you paid your bill? #virginmedia

  • s_badruddin Sana Parkar (@s_badruddin) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why is your box down? Why doesn’t any of your apps load? E.g. Amazon Prime? 😑

  • Miss_Pumpkin666 Caroline (@Miss_Pumpkin666) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Michaelallen_99 @philell21 @virginmedia Because the stupid rules say that if there’s a disruption to your services (over a specified amount of time), you’re legally entitled to compensation, but ONLY if you contact them to notify them that you specifically are effected, if you don’t they’re not obligated

  • karriecheer ♥ Karina Aura ♥ (@karriecheer) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Virgin media has been down since this morning what a joke

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Hardeep_5ingh Hardeep Singh (@Hardeep_5ingh) reported

    @virginmedia honestly has the worst customer service. Mobile sim hasn't been working since August 2021 - they offered £100 compensation, but haven't heard from them since. Internet has been awful for the last 4 weeks. Multiple emails and calls, all ignored. #VirginMedia

  • AndyBluey Bluey (@AndyBluey) reported

    @virginmedia I used the text message service and it directed me to the WhatsApp service and you don't have any availability to speak to me on there...

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported

    @virginmedia contact number to terminate my contract please had enough

  • Lizzie_Rose20 Lizzie Johnson (@Lizzie_Rose20) reported

    @virginmedia The cable that runs outside to the router. This was never arranged to be collected with the router when we moved to another provider and is now causing us issues

  • NikkiMYoungNAP Nikki Young (@NikkiMYoungNAP) reported

    Well once again @virginmedia have done nothing promised to refund me the £500+ they had been taking out of our account over a year ago. They have admitted liability and on countless occasions stated that a cheque is in the post only for it not to arrive. Unacceptable service!

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

  • Liam_Hawksey Goth Scouser (@Liam_Hawksey) reported

    @virginmedia Hmm, if that’s the case, how come my neighbours a few doors down can go on your website for a new install and be offered a date less than 2 weeks away but i can only get a date a month away to fix a tech issue?

  • roibeard67 Roibeard (@roibeard67) reported

    @virginmedia Honestly I’m fed up with the whole setup, if you can contact me why can’t someone who can fix it, you know I’ve been with VM over 20 years, and if I changed they would probably set it up quicker than VM is taking anti fix it, my bill was took off today £132 for a bad service 😡

  • TheMums Marian (@TheMums) reported

    @virginmedia Registered with o2 on 3rd Oct and spoken 3 times no body can explain why it’s not working and had email from virgin to say I’m eligible

  • YourGirlAmyLou ✨ A ✨ (@YourGirlAmyLou) reported

    @virginmedia is the worst help I’ve ever received. I contacted them on the 14th October to say I needed a longer coax cable. 5 conversations later and promises of when delivery will be and GUESS WHAT still no cable!! Even though one was on a 72 hour delivery! JOKE
