Latest outage, problems and issue reports in South Shore and nearby locations:

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia please provide a direct contact for complaints. Sick of the poor service and mistakes that I have had every month since joining you

  • docherty53 Andy 'life is short' Docherty (@docherty53) reported from South Shore, England

    Morning @virginmedia I know it's not your fault but communication is impossible so I have turned to Twitter for help. Have you any idea when @YodelOnline will get their act together as we have been wasting days off waiting for important packages from you?

  • aptyson1960 Alan Tyson (@aptyson1960) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia very disappointed that being a customer for nearly 25 years doesn’t warrant any discount but being a new one did. Bye bye I’m off to @bt_uk

  • NowHearThis1 Steven Michael Macdonald (@NowHearThis1) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia @Mikeper81999705 This is what I'm tweeting about. It's no information that the internet is down, I know my internet is down. Customers for some odd reason, might want to know why??

  • mgsevs sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @virginmedia Tried them all over 18 months. Short of moving the router, which imo will shift the issue from one room to another, there's not a lot else open to me according to your representatives. We work from home and my wife uses all her mobile data every month as a wifi hotspot

  • aptyson1960 Alan Tyson (@aptyson1960) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia I did and they couldn’t do anything. I’m very disappointed that not even going just broadband could reduce anywhere near new customers. My car insurance has to match new customer deals. You should do the same.

  • mgsevs sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @virginmedia This help page just walks me through what I've already done, it doesn't show me how to reset the pod

  • M4rtinBooker Martin Booker (@M4rtinBooker) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia @richardbranson how bad are your installation teams in Blackpool! They can’t even put a cable in the ground in 6 weeks at my property, think somebody needs to check on your engineers to see what they do all day! #busydoingnothing #virginmedia #broadband 👎🤬

  • The_dadblogs The Dadblogs (@The_dadblogs) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia just spoke to Saba in your technical department and wow how rude can someone be?! Think she needs to go back to customer service school!

  • The_dadblogs The Dadblogs (@The_dadblogs) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia Yeah we're just going to wait yet again for you to "fix" the problem, not holding my breath! And yet you chose to address this and not the rude customer service I received 🤔

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia I’ve contacted after last months bill and the bill before and before….I get told that I won’t be getting chased for the difference but I don’t understand why you just can’t get it right and fix it

  • NowHearThis1 Steven Michael Macdonald (@NowHearThis1) reported from South Shore, England

    @Jack173_ @virginmedia The service has been truly awful for a week now Jack, you'll probably find it's nothing to do with your end. This is exactly what I'm talking about. If someone takes your road up, you get a notice. If Virgin fibre goes down or someone just pushes the wrong button, it's all meh

  • NowHearThis1 Steven Michael Macdonald (@NowHearThis1) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia Can your company please start putting out adequate information directly to your customers please, instead of assuming we should go looking for answers. Believe it or not people deal with the truth far better than these days would tell us. Why is the network failing?

  • mgsevs sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @virginmedia @Piethagoram How about maintaining free roaming charges then seeing as you've hiked the cost of using your service

  • NowHearThis1 Steven Michael Macdonald (@NowHearThis1) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia Internet back up now. Don't have a problem with either maintenance or an unavoidable fault, I just wish you'd send out an SMS or something to inform customers of why, and for how long. Otherwise you get people just sat waiting and none the wiser.

  • mgsevs sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @MeNigeStew I'm with @virginmedia suffering for decent coverage in parts of the house & despite trying a pod (which has yet to work btw) wifi extenders (which fight with the main router) & 2 engineer visits I'm still suffering. Having full TV as well not sure how broadband price breaks down

  • The_dadblogs The Dadblogs (@The_dadblogs) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia The Internet service in FY4 Blackpool has been dropping in and out, apparently there's an issue in the area

  • The_dadblogs The Dadblogs (@The_dadblogs) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia Clapping back, finally got some *****, now please go fix the Internet!

  • llloydman lisa lloyd (@llloydman) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia Is there a problem ? No virgin media here

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia please can I have a direct contact for complaints. I don’t want a generic email, I want someone higher to sort out the same issue I am having every month 😤😡🤬

    @virginmedia @O2 How about a better mobile signal?

  • jinxs67 **** Dixon (@jinxs67) reported

    @tipper_rob @virginmedia Product is great, but customer service appalling. Looking like heading that way as well as not worth the hassle with them.

  • dava51 DP (@dava51) reported

    @virginmedia I spent days on the phone with various agents who don't have a scooby doo what the left or right hand is doing ,I strongly suggest you don't go within a country mile of @virginmedia they are a night mare to deal with there customer service is shocking. 2/2

  • Baxy2001 Baxy (@Baxy2001) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia please can you explain why I have been in a queue to speak to someone for over 35 minutes to try and cancel my contract? Absolute joke of a company, poor services and poor customer service.

  • Luke_Dutton57 Lucid Luke (@Luke_Dutton57) reported

    @virginmedia Just called the number, apparently I should be able to get service again within 19 hours hopefully

  • dava51 DP (@dava51) reported

    @virginmedia keep sending me bill's for a service I know longer have with them and no longer have there equipment to use there service TV phone and broadband, they sent out boxes and requested the equipment be sent back to them which I have complied with .1/1

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you so much for this. Its an issue in the street that's been left to fester, corroded kit and water damage, so it's gone to the network team I think he said, Chris the engineer said should be here Monday latest and then he's coming back out but until then no TV access.

  • molealmighty Phil Spatcher (@molealmighty) reported

    @virginmedia tried all the usual stuff and would not contact you unless I was having real issues. It’s awful that I am made to go through such hoops to deal with lack of broadband, as I said this has gone on for three weeks and not just appeared. Lack of customer service is awful

  • arikat73 Ahmed Arikat (@arikat73) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, I've tried several browsers, but still no joy. If Virgin Media's customer payment portal or account access portal went down, someone would get on it immediately. Why us this portal not getting the same attention?

  • molealmighty Phil Spatcher (@molealmighty) reported

    @virginmedia I have had a look and it doesn’t report issues, post code is GL50 2RW. I say again this has been going on for three weeks and I am tired of rebooting and resetting the router. This is exactly what happened before - rubbish service then too
