Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Cradley Heath and nearby locations:

  • HJMKent Howard Martin 🇺🇦 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia I'd like to know why you discontinued my Netflix subscription? The service just stopped but I didn't cancel it? It was paid for in June but there is no charge due to be made in July! It was connected up to Sunday but today I just got a message asking me to rejoin?

  • meclareyb Clare (@meclareyb) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia you claim we get 100 whatever’s per second. So tell me. Why my internet doesn’t work. I can’t stay on a zoom as my “internet is unstable” and live tv “jumps” not streams. You sent somebody to resolve last time. It’s now repeated this behaviour again. Why do that?

  • dazholdcroft1 Daz (Oaky) Holdcroft (@dazholdcroft1) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Well if it’s so far taken 5 years I’d say it’s never going to happen surly

  • rjoberns R Joberns (@rjoberns) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia service status checker ……… nope, That’s not working either

  • HJMKent Howard Martin 🇺🇦 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia Just to let you know I was billed by you for Netflix on 10 June, the subscription was not paid to Netflix by you - so they cancelled my account! You owe me a refund please! Also this was a issue as far back as May & Virgin were saying "they were addressing it" Still are it seems!

  • clairado77 claire smith (@clairado77) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @vmbusiness internet is down but have wifi? Business name C D Morris & Sons ltd, 97 Kent road, Wednesbury, Ws10 0sy

  • MutliRaceMan Jean Thierry 💙 (@MutliRaceMan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @KellyQuilt @virginmedia Virgin are hopeless for ease of contact. My daughter was with them and the service wasn’t at all good. This nonsense about calling them at a time to suit them is just ludicrous. They need to admit that they (& others) don’t staff adequately to suit their customers convenience. 🤬

  • AaronAlluyn Aaron (@AaronAlluyn) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @itsonlymegs virgin says tv had issues but nothing about internet.. Our internet has been unusable all week, I've been unable to attend any work meetings due to the extremely poor internet quality.. So what's up with that, whole week of trouble but guess I'll just pay as usual..

  • ___Mezzala Riz 🌹🇬🇧 (@___Mezzala) reported from Birmingham, England

    @AGJ27_ @TwiitterJo @virginmedia Ours has gone down… Again. The 5th time this evening. I’ve had enough of this ****. Genuinely can’t wait to leave. Never experienced such awful service in my life.

  • HJMKent Howard Martin 🇺🇦 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia There are no local problems - I checked yesterday - also my account detail's show my next Virgin bill due next week has had the Netflix subscription removed by you & my Netflix account shows it was last paid in May. I'll try a reboot & see what happens - thank you

  • clairado77 claire smith (@clairado77) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @vmbusiness our internet is down but we have wifi? No sky catchup. What’s going on?

  • HJMKent Howard Martin 🇺🇦 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia I've rebooted the box & it's resolved the issues with the Apps - thank you - however it doesn't explain why my Netflix subscription has been removed from my service package and bill, which presumably happened before the problems started yesterday late afternoon accessing Apps?

  • _lilymarsden Lil (@_lilymarsden) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Hi John, my wifi has gone down 4 times since last night, we’ve reset it on the box twice this morning alone and it still keeps dropping … can’t get through to anyone on the phone and website says they won’t send anyone out for another 24 hours and only if the wifi stays down ???

  • stumccullagh Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    £117 a month & @virginmedia down again plus still haven’t had my booster I was promised in Feb 21 & June 22

  • ___Mezzala Riz 🌹🇬🇧 (@___Mezzala) reported from Birmingham, England

    CANNOT WAIT until we leave @VirginMedia in a few months time. Non stop internet issues for months now. I’d urge everyone to swerve Virgin Media. Better companies out there who do more and cost less.

  • stu99746 Stu99746 (@stu99746) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia internet down since 2120pm WV6 postcode. Any ETA VM?

  • MrsDont09 helen somerville (@MrsDont09) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia whats happening with the service in B29 area. Been off and on past 24 hours.

  • all_day_ Mathew (@all_day_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hey guys whatever I try to play back or if I rewind live tv to play back the boxing is terrible so much so you’re unable to watch the programme. The wires are all connected fine and all other internet devices are fine. What’s the issue?

  • Rob_Hicks W1NGNUT (@Rob_Hicks) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Doesn't matter now, we've terminated the contract and joined Three home broadband. I just think it's disgusting that a customer of over 10 years doesn't get offered a deal as good as a new customer.

  • meclareyb Clare (@meclareyb) reported from Birmingham, England

    Very pleased to publicly announce we are leaving virgin media. I have never known such a diabolical internet service - current situation our 100mb per whatever it is means our internet is unstable for any zoom session. Utterly ridiculous. Hoorah for us 🙌🏻

  • fogarty_of HouseOfFogarty (@fogarty_of) reported

    @virginmedia Had issues with my account contacted VM and was fobbed of from a colleague of yours who quite clearly was to lazy to help resolve my issue herself to the so called "bot" service which is a waste of time and has taken me 3 hours to get issue solved thanks to priestly in manchester

  • LetsGoLuxe Luxe (@LetsGoLuxe) reported

    @_Stormbee Ik virgin media is ******* horrible

  • MufcZan MUFC 🏹🙆‍♂️ (@MufcZan) reported

    Another day, same appalling service and coverage from @virginmedia At this point its more of a shock if the channel I want works within 5 minutes of me clicking on it, dreadful service

  • KateCtweets Kate Conway (@KateCtweets) reported

    Why is it that @virginmedia advice for broken WiFi is to log on to their website. Very clever. #cnuts @Ofcom

  • Gouldy12 Gary Gould (@Gouldy12) reported

    @virginmedia Spoke with retention team earlier, guy rude and not helpful, I decided NOT to leave you but still got a ‘sorry you are leaving’ email - what can I do?

  • cianofarelio Ganner Rhysode (@cianofarelio) reported

    ******* hell Virgin Media support are awful. Been trying to talk to someone for a day and a half now, and twice they've only responded after I've given up the wait of several hours

  • seajay_c Blade 3 (@seajay_c) reported

    @virginmedia Where do we go to complain about how slow our broadband is recently

  • SAFEintheUK Please do Retweet 🔱 @for_branch (@SAFEintheUK) reported

    @virginmedia What a stupid unimaginative reply. I obviously do all the checks before phoning your useless customer service dept. No known issues. Your network is falling apart invest or go bust. You choose!

  • susmo59 susanne morris (@susmo59) reported

    @virginmedia your support lady told me that my Virgin router is incompatible with Sky Q -no fix and cannot reset. Only solution offered was to get Virgin TV. Is this legal? Your customer’s should have freedom of choice

  • rothwel Lynn Rothwell (@rothwel) reported

    @AlexExile10 @virginmedia It does that and then mostly you want to do strangling or something with a hammer but that doesn't work either. Put nice music and pour yourself something x
