Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Widnes, England

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

  • 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.

  • 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”

  • lurkinhead Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Okay, but with respect, the problem is your call centre say different stuff every time, which inevitably bears no resemblance to reality. Later, VM deny those conversations ever took place and there is no written evidence to back up what was agreed. That's what I am after here?

  • 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

  • andrewjmcgill Andy McGill (@andrewjmcgill) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I have been without broadband all day, a day after you sent me a letter about price increases, an increase for what, even poorer service!!!!

  • lurkinhead Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia There's no point raising a complaint is there, as you won't comprnsate? Other reputable oroviders offer a back-up 4 or 5g device to kick in if their main broadband goes down, to keep the service running. Not VM though - it's just all really poor customer service innit?

  • laineypb2109 Elaine Brown (@laineypb2109) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia 15% increase, don't think so mate. I'll be in touch via phone shortly with a cancellation notice. So much for long serving customer loyalty

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

    @virginmedia No. Can’t get through. I’ve just submitted a complaint

  • 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.

  • cambo691 Cambo (@cambo691) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia This and their woeful customer service is why we binned them off mate

  • lurkinhead Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @BlaggerBly @virginmedia Seems to be Wirral wide at least, and I think Liverpool is affected too. VM should be massively compensating their affected customers for this, but they hide behind their terms and conditions where they only deem it reasonable to compensate if the outage last more than 3 days!

  • cbray72 Christopher Bray (@cbray72) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I think so yes there's definitely a issue of some description as it keeps happening all the time

  • 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

  • lurkinhead Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia Still saying 12.05 on the app Lesley .... have they put that new estimated fix time out elsewhere? 😱

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

    @virginmedia If my bill went down with my speed, I wouldn't mind.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • JemimaCamhs Jemima (@JemimaCamhs) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia Hi, will this continued investment mean finally getting signal in my area? It’s a central area and the signal is awful. Thanks

  • laineypb2109 Elaine Brown (@laineypb2109) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia sort your **** out. No service at all since half 8 last night. Wirral CH41 area

  • TommyWinter23 Tommy Winter (@TommyWinter23) reported

    @virginmedia mad how a brand new customer can get a package for 69 pounds a month, but as an existing customer I'm being told its going to cost me 87 pounds a month. I know you have to have introductory offers but come on.....

  • mrsjsbwalker jackie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@mrsjsbwalker) reported

    @virginmedia Whatever the problem was it seems to have sorted itself out by this morning.

  • UniqueRiggers Riggers (@UniqueRiggers) reported

    @ChesnoidGaming A Deco P9 may fix that for you, that's what I used when I was with Virgin Media

  • Gabarillo Gabby Harrington-Poole (@Gabarillo) reported

    @virginmedia hi i changed my package earlier today, but on reflection, what I am getting looks really rubbish and not what I asked for. How do I cancel this with immediate effect?

  • Sleeper919 Nick (@Sleeper919) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia Hi frens having difficulty getting the Volt benefits applied to an o2 and VM account. Was already signed up to VM and recently became an o2 customer. Can you assist?

  • chriscaudwell1 chris caudwell (@chriscaudwell1) reported

    @virginmedia Yes tomorrow by 3pm. We work from home so this is a big problem for us. Also I’m not able to receive issue updates (neither text or email.)

  • VenusMissyP Missy P (@VenusMissyP) reported

  • chef_anthony Anthony Wilmshurst (@chef_anthony) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I’m trying to register on the my virgin media app but it keeps on sending me back to the register account screen every time I’ve filled in the details and hit register. Is there a problem with the app?
