Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Widnes, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Widnes and nearby locations:
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia It’s to our address, we need a full repull and was told it would be done within 48hrs. This issue has been going on for months, they were just telling me to reboot the hub.

Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported from Aintree Village, EnglandAbsolute 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.
-
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)
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia I looked and that says it’s from the day I registered the total loss of service which was yesterday but really it should be from Friday afternoon when I did the online chat. If I DM you can you check?
-
Cambo (@cambo691) reported from Birkenhead, England@les_murray71 @virginmedia This and their woeful customer service is why we binned them off mate
-
Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England@virginmedia I'm checking online and it's saying there is an issue with the TV, but saying broadband is fine. I've had constant disconnections throughout the day for 2 weeks now. It works for a few minutes then goes off. What is going on?
-
Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England@virginmedia according to your representative my wifi is working perfectly and I don’t have any issues! That’s a bit odd considering I no service what so ever!
-
-
Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia just been took out of a game of fifa, that I was winning! Because of your awful internet. Get it fixed!!
-
Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia is honestly the worst company for WiFi
-
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.
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid
-
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
-
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
-
Jo3r (@J0er_82) reported from Garston, England@virginmedia whys your Internet ****?? Never works when I want it to
-
Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia @virginhelp We have just signed up for a broadband/phone package. We were recommended by a friend. They never gave us a code though as they are a pensioner. We were told to simply give her details in but the operative would not accept. Can we still get a code after?
-
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.

Paddy 🇮🇪 (@paddywalsh35) reported@PGNWTLOI1D hopefully virgin media steal the rights, RTE coverage is just painfully bad now
-
TheRealCraig (@AnIndividualist) reportedIf @virginmedia had good deals I would’ve considered re subscribing. But cancelling our old email addresses without notice because we cancelled has caused so much trouble I certain won’t now
-
Aidan Costello (@aidan_codtello) reported@virginmedia I still have not received a payment I should have received on referring my father to switch to Virgin and he should have had a payment too. Our broadband has been poor this week and I hope it will be better this week.
-
BK (@red_bk13) reported@entrustTMF @virginmedia Terrible situation for that long. I'm looking at a voda offer at the mo for switching from virgin when my deal expires. They offer a router with 4g back up. It's weather your can get decent speeds where you are that matters.
-
i aint know **** bout crypto (@SirazBhaii) reported@DenniGlaves @pokemondealsuk This is 100% the issue. Ive tested it. I recently switched WiFi providers from Virgin Media to Grain Connect which is 1 of the newer FTTP providers that have been rolling out true fibre across the UK. Now im getting this message everytime.
-
beir13346 (@beir13346) reported@virginmedia there has been intermittent signal in the Salford area on and off for mo this. What is going on with your service? Yes I have already signed in and run the diagnostics.
-
Seno (@SenosLIVE) reported@virginmedia please get your **** together, 3rd day in a row internet goes down at 9pm with no solution to the problem other than check back in 24hours. I’m paying £40 a month not for this. Soon it’s gonna be time to switch providers
-
nini ☆ (@thatluckygirl4) reported@virginmedia hi can you please get back to me? been trying to get in touch about this for 2 weeks now and got charged a late payment fee, on top of this, the wifi connection has been really slow
-
Isla (@saoirseisla) reportedMy fave thing about @virginmedia is nothing. No WiFi for 4 days. No WiFi = no tv. Been fobbed off for days. Each day promising it’ll fixed by the end of the day. Only to turn around today and say only an engineer coming to the house can fix it. I want out of this contract.
-
Simply Norwegian (@simplynorwegian) reported@virginmedia I need some help resolving an unauthorised account creation, outstanding unlawful charges and failure to resolve despite numerous calls and written correspondence dating back to October 2025. What number can I call to speak to someone with authority to end this??
