Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Widnes, England

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

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  • supergran22 Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

  • supergran22 Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

  • ZachcloseYT zach close YT 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, England

    Before covid came you was brilliant @virginmedia but ever since then you have been really **** and if it not sorted by next Sunday we are leaving you it literally 2023 and you still got **** service

  • alandean1878 Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia The nightmare continues!!! Buffering is now a way of life for us. As is watching any programme on a streaming service in short two minute bites!

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw *🇺🇦 (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    Virgin media customer service 🥴😭🤯

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

    @virginmedia Please contact me via this route - will be the quickest way to respond and resolve the issue

  • alandean1878 Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Everything struggles to stay connected to the Internet. Mobiles, laptops, the TV's. I'm not sure if the speed is an issue as I haven't checked it. (I'm not sure how to.)

  • TimmyJ1972 Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I’d love to hear from how I’m supposed to report an issue with my broadband. You can’t do it via live chat and seemingly not via the phone either as you’re “experiencing difficulties”

  • AckerHeron Tony (@AckerHeron) reported from Liverpool, England

    Hi @virginmedia, my dear old mum has been on the phone for 20 minutes because her broadband has gone down. Your advisors keep saying to reset the hub and disconnecting before it's sorted. Any ideas? Still using the crap one you sent years ago despite her recontracting

  • NdawanaY Ndawana Youngson (@NdawanaY) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Too many service drops. Engineer has been to properly to fix but this persists.

  • supergran22 Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure this is the 3rd box. It's the one with the router in same room. Re advice remotely got message saying problem could not be solved.

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

    @virginmedia Sorry I really don’t get it. A few hours ago I was told that your team would investigate etc. Now you’re telling you don’t have any access so I’m left to hang on with no one from VM being able to update me. Is that it?

  • Robertlfc_ Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia thanks for the awful internet service, f*cking useless you are

  • Parleyyyyyy Josh (@Parleyyyyyy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just done that. If you watch the video though you’ll see it doesn’t even let me get to the login page. As soon as I click on virgin media customer it tries to take me to a website & then closes down

  • supergran22 Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

  • supergran22 Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia In this room have always had problems but just not like today. The router is just over 2 metres from box.

  • NdawanaY Ndawana Youngson (@NdawanaY) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia They worked on it, or so I thought. I was told they fixed some external connections issue (outside the house)

  • ZachcloseYT zach close YT 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, England

    You say you care about your customers and if you did you would fix your ******* **** Internet problems that everyone is having and don't even bother replying @virginmedia

  • TimmyJ1972 Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia To be honest, the issue is an intermittent fault. My wife works from home and the broadband just drops out numerous times a day. Then comes back on. It’s only worthwhile doing a remote test if it’s when it drops out. Otherwise all will look fine

  • noll9 Noll Bailey (@noll9) reported

    @virginmedia online chat no one available. Call just get sent a link to go to online chat. No proper tv service for over a week and no way to get in touch??

  • Mrs_Ring Gabrielle Ring (@Mrs_Ring) reported

    So apparently my land-line will be provided via WiFi. I wouldn't mind if @virginmedia had a reliable connection, but it drops it so frequently I'm not convinced. I maintain a land-line due to non existent mobile signal at home, so soon I shall be left uncontactable! #Frustrated

  • RoNicMo RoRo (@RoNicMo) reported

    Appalled at the customer service from @virginmedia so far. Last Friday the engineer just didn't turn up for my site survey, as apparently there was no mobile number for me on the system (not true)

  • juliestevens2 julie Stevens (@juliestevens2) reported

    @virginmedia Of course I did. It it's now two weeks of rubbish if any service.

  • GatesFish BillyGatesFish (@GatesFish) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the late feedback, this service in North London is not fit for purpose, it goes off and on, frustrated me so much I am changing provider IMMEDITELY never will I go through this on & off service again, one which I am paying for it stops today SKY here I come !

  • jrseloto Francisco Soler (Jr) (@jrseloto) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia If you were sorry, this issues was fixed long time ago…

  • KarlKaneCollery Karl Kane-Collery (@KarlKaneCollery) reported

    .@virginmedia Lads, I've been on hold for 2 hours trying to cancel my broadband as its doubled in price since I'm now out of contract, the call has dropped twice... am I cursed to spend the rest of my life paying £60 a month on hold listening to George Ezra? Please 😫

  • vmbusinesshelp Customer Service (@vmbusinesshelp) reported

    @kellyanstee @vmbusiness Hello, I am sorry to hear that this is the case for you, if this is still not working for you can you please call the team on this number 0800 052 0800 and then option 1 then 3, they can support with this for you.

  • Manraj_Virkk Manraj (@Manraj_Virkk) reported

    @virginmedia is so **** man, had no wifi for over 24 hours now. I’m not made of endless data ffs

  • rxtv_info RXTV Info (@rxtv_info) reported

    @matt02392 Virgin Media doesn't have a network in the Channel Islands. Here, ITV offers audio description via Freeview and satellite. ITV Border Scotland offers AD on SD, as there's no HD version of that channel.
