Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Wrightington, England

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

  • LindzDDub Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp I've never had this much issue as I have had today. I'm plugged in on ethernet, I've reset my hub, and checked my area and there is no issue at all. My WiFi is working from my hub but yet its booting me out of Destiny 2 and not just that but the chat parties on PS5 itself

  • DaveMbootlebuck DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported from Litherland, England

    @virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.

  • timmycooke Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Both wired and wireless. We've had 8 engineers out, a rewire, new hub and still endless drop outs. Was told finally it was an upload issue from the amp that supplied the box on the street. But still we're having issues. The 150 number is joke, make it simple!!!

  • ShanklyBob77 Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported from Aintree Village, England

    Absolute nightmare trying to watch @SkySportsF1 on my phone because of how poor @virginmedia are especially since merging with @o2, used to just put email and password in, now going around in circles with same message asking me to verify email link and switch, very poor practice.

  • jmcloughlin Jamie McLoughlin (@jmcloughlin) reported from Liverpool, England

    Anyone having @virginmedia issues in Liverpool area? Our TV has been showing static for the past half hour.

  • elisabethhilto4 Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

  • TheWiganParky Laser Lux, Wigan. (@TheWiganParky) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia It says there's no issues at the moment, but I'm only getting 13mbps.

  • LindzDDub Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

  • BLTwitchy Berni Turner 🖤🌹 (@BLTwitchy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No I’m not an idiot it was during covid I’ll go back and find it . The chief execs office rang me personally as I’m disabled

  • davidbirkdale David Jones (@davidbirkdale) reported from Southport, England

    Very poor service from @virginmedia for a friend of mine in the Stockport area. No TV now due to failure of upgrade, engineer can only go on Tuesday. Better off with Sky!

  • CallyRaven Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  • CallyRaven Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • Duddydudson Kevin Dudson (@Duddydudson) reported from Wigan, England

    @NigelJTurner @virginmedia Same for me, I can cancel or change my package by the 28th of march then get a 19% increase on my new package on the 1st of April. Only had my contract 5 months.being **** Turpind here!!!

  • oflahertyevents OFE (@oflahertyevents) reported

    @virginmedia Hi TM, yes we have, using mobile data and quelle surprise "there are no issues in your area". There is!!! Please sort out your useless support page as it clearly is not fit for purpose. I'll be raising ANOTHER formal complaint!

  • rl1602 Richard Loach (@rl1602) reported

    @virginmedia has to be the worst customer service ever. My 86 year old father in law has spent 2 days sorting a mis sold HD box. Cut his service off and left him alone without any TV channels or telephone. Lied and lied to him at every step. Disgraceful

  • Devstheoriginal Devo (@Devstheoriginal) reported

    @virginmedia Rubbish. It's gone down again! Your service has become so unreliable.

  • OpiniatedOne1 Pretentious Opinions (@OpiniatedOne1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

  • MrAndyGeorgiou Andy Georgiou (@MrAndyGeorgiou) reported

    @virginmedia has rescheduled my installation appointment for my broadband and tv 5 times now without telling me. I’ve had to call up myself to find out, they just continue to give me new dates which never happen. Nobody can tell me why. I’ve had no tv or internet during Christmas

  • AkinsolaBen Ben Akinsola (@AkinsolaBen) reported

    @virginmedia has got the worse service on the planet and perhaps they need to go to Mars for real. They've also been stealing money from my account for months claiming its an error on their system im about to go to the ombudsman and trading standards with this one

  • PeterHarar Tech N food (@PeterHarar) reported

    @virginmedia Phoned 4 times , everytime I end up telling my ongoing problem with broadband , y calls gets disconnected from virginmedia, not once i got call back, I've been calling and have to stay in que

  • Mcollinson72 Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    What an absolute shower of shite service as usual from @virginmedia they literally couldn’t care any less

  • SardaSarda Ravi Sarda (@SardaSarda) reported

    @LutzSchueler Have you tried any customer journeys contacting Virgin Media with a complaint? If yes when was the last time, did you actually manage to speak to anyone considering you do not supply a number and what did you come away with? If not then you are not doing your job.

  • SardaSarda Ravi Sarda (@SardaSarda) reported

    @virginmedia Where can I report online that my device is down? Your site says you can be called but gives no number. I cannot see a definition of total outage. Please share a number I can call to speak to someone. Or do I need to contact OFCOM?
