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

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia my dad’s email address has been hacked. VM says he has to re register his email address. He’s spent nearly 3hrs on live chat today trying to fix it. He’s 86 and relies upon his email to order from home. Can you please explain to me the process to correct this issue?

  • gilliblogs Gill Lysons (@gilliblogs) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @yicker @virginmedia Had the same thing when my Gran was poorly, trying to explain to HMRC why they couldn’t visit her for an assessment - eventually I had to say “look, she’s dying” Bloody awful . Hope you’re ok xxx

  • Nathann_B Nathan Booth (@Nathann_B) reported from Liverpool, England

    Try to contact @virginmedia on there faulty mobile service or wifi but call keeps ending without me doing any thing

  • shellc11 michelle cunningham (@shellc11) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia can you please confirm how long my tv will be down WA9 area, its been off for over 36 hours 😳

  • Michael85600050 Michael (@Michael85600050) reported from Rainhill, England

    @virginmedia gross incompetence shown in L35 area today. Basically no broadband for 14 hours. No indication as to why and each hour the time of resolution extended. Not a good advert for the service. Go with Sky is my suggestion

  • Toffeegirl13 Ann_1878 (@Toffeegirl13) reported from Halewood, England

    @MachinegunSi @virginmedia Been ****** awful lately, sick of it. Think I'm gonna serve them

  • Kiefer1667 Marc Lancaster (@Kiefer1667) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia how can we find out when you are transferring our mobile numbers to the vodafone network instead of ee?

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia It’s ok I’ve managed to get around my dad’s security question - it was an issue with the lower / upper case. I’ve updated his password and his email is now receiving emails on his phone and iPad - I think we’re ok. Frustrating that the live chat sent him around in circles

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No nothing - no reference number. The inconsistency of service between live chat, phone and Twitter is mad. It doesn’t feel like you’re speaking to the same company

  • LukeFoster89 Lukefoster89 (@LukeFoster89) reported from Sandymoor, England

    @virginmedia Hi, what's the best way to make a complaint? I've never experienced such incompetence from a call centre in my life. Please can some one review my calls over the last few weeks.

  • mrphilliptipton Phillip Tipton (@mrphilliptipton) reported from Haydock, England

    The interminable menus on the Virgin Media customer line lasted 3 minutes and 20 seconds just now, most of it being lectured on how efficient this would make my as yet unanswered call.

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Also I’ve just tried and it won’t accept the answers to the security questions - which are both ok. Can someone contact me to help me out please?

  • Joanneincrosby Joanne Johnson (@Joanneincrosby) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia tried to contact Virgin media for days! We had no internet for last Saturday, Sunday , Tuesday in the area . You call and it will not let you contact to anyone as it’s a complex problem in the area. Anyone know a better provider I’ve totally had enough.

  • Michael85600050 Michael (@Michael85600050) reported from Rainhill, England

    @virginmedia how can you say you're reliable when we haven't had broadband for 14 hours with no explanation and ever increasing promises as to when resolved? Virgin Media has failed me and others in the Rainhill area. As we say in the North- shite service

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia This takes me through to a help and support page - what do I do next?

  • gbam86 Graeme Bamber (@gbam86) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @gbam96 Yes it has been cancelled now, it was the manner it took to get there! Nearly 20 mins of asking to cancel! he had a bad attitude. Very disappointed with the customer service

  • Toffeegirl13 Ann_1878 (@Toffeegirl13) reported from Halewood, England

    @MachinegunSi @virginmedia Yeah same here Si, never had any problems but the past 12 months or so been shite

  • Andy_Dunbar Andy Dunbar (@Andy_Dunbar) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Is that minimum 12 months subscription or can I cancel at anytime?

  • AndrewGMilburn Andy Milburn (@AndrewGMilburn) reported from Garston, England

    Wifi down intermittently for 24 hours now @virginmedia and no checks or fixes help. Everything plugged in properly. Next available appt is Thursday morning - I work from home FFS what am I supposed to do until then??? #poor Can't even speak to anyone. #shambles

  • thereal_rookie Paul Rooke (@thereal_rookie) reported from Prescot, England

    @virginmedia Already checked, your website says we have issues. Just disappointed that I have missed what sounded like a good @F1 race

    @virginmedia What would the outcome be of that. I mean the issue was resolved bit we didn't get to see any of the undercards

  • 4442444its A (@4442444its) reported

    @virginmedia Hi . What do you mean you don't support vpn's? Is this a new thing? It was working fine until two days ago. Are you saying I need to change to Sky?

  • jjavh Javid (@jjavh) reported

    @virginmedia customer services run you around in circles web chat is useless and ive been a customer for over a decade, have to mess about every 18 months regarding discounts. Well with the current economic climate , ive just received a Wopping massive utility bill.

  • Ca33ieKins Caz (@Ca33ieKins) reported

    @virginmedia why is my virgin box not recording any movies? Everytime I set it to record it doesn't. Will only record TV channels. Series Links working ok so why only an issue with Movie Channels? No error message.

  • rizzybluexx Rizzy Blue (@rizzybluexx) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing, we advised of the issues and error codes weve keep incurring but just told that if our tvbox isntbroke then we dont qualify for a new one! So we are basically paying for a rubbish box and service.

  • Jeanie16Bean Melanie Bishop (@Jeanie16Bean) reported

    @virginmedia thought we’d treat ourselves to a new release via the Virgin store tonight. Whole thing has crashed again now for the fourth time in less than two hours so we can’t even watch it - £13.99 wasted. Why does this happen EVERY time we try to watch via this service?

  • jamesleon6 james leon* (@jamesleon6) reported

    @virginmedia So are you going to help@or offer any assistance?

  • McGrathBecky Becky McGrath (@McGrathBecky) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying to log into my account and it says it’s a secondary account and therefore I can’t access anything. I’ve never set one up. Help!

  • Herbert79Kerry Kerry Herbert- (@Herbert79Kerry) reported

    @virginmedia Yep! And had a signal sent down from the team.. still a problem

  • Jetmanray Jetman789 (@Jetmanray) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve spent 2 hrs trying to connect new hub. All is connected correctly but the base line is flashing green. I phoned up and was told to leave it another 1/2 hour as he activated it. 1 hr later I now have no tv or WiFi. No offer of an engineer call out. Please help
