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

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @RichPierce0079 @virginmedia @SkyUK @VodafoneUK All different issues really. Virgin is its own thing. Sky could have been a line issue, Vodafone went live earlier today but despite saying it has an internet connection it doesn’t. Almost like they’ve not activated it on their end despite the app saying the line is active.

  • Jonesj1988 Jonesy (@Jonesj1988) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on with your customer service line the waiting times are ridiculous!!!! I only need to give you a pac number to get my number transferred why am I regretting switching providers already haven’t even got started yet 😡

  • JamesWelsh2 James Welsh (@JamesWelsh2) reported from Halewood, England

    @virginmedia can you follow me so I can discuss a problem all my services have gone off and being told can’t be reconnected until Saturday

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just asked for all calls relating to my complaint over the past two years. You said no. So now I do a complaint against you with ico. I believe you will get a fine. Sorry.

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract, why cant I do this over live chat or online without someone keeping me on the phone trying to sell me a deal that is far worse than you signed me up with!! Offer me a good deal to keep me, or just let me cancel without fuss, Sort it out!

  • stefaniantiques Stefani Antiques (@stefaniantiques) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I joined yesterday and was expecting super fast fibre broadband and got intermittent slow. Liverpool L18 area. Not a good start. #regrets

  • stefaniantiques Stefani Antiques (@stefaniantiques) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I rang support yesterday and they said an ongoing issue that could take up to a week and when I follow your link it says no known issues. #mixedmessages

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia This is the 6th “complex” issue that’s happened during weekends this year! and countless other days ..... and that’s why I called yesterday to cancel, your service is obviously not fit for purpose and you have the cheek to put the price up too

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract, why cant I do this over live chat or online without someone keeping me on the phone trying to sell me a deal that is far worse than you signed me up with!! Iffer me a good deal to keep me, ir just let me cancel without fuss, Sort it out!

  • John_B58 John B (+) (@John_B58) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia @NorthernOaf Feel free to look in to my non-existent service.

  • John_B58 John B (+) (@John_B58) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia My service hasn’t been down for days, it’s concerning that you don’t know that and so hardly surprising you can’t say when it’ll be back!

  • sandras_smith Sandra SmithMND (@sandras_smith) reported from St Helens, England

    @Danielle869 @virginmedia I agree. The service my 85 year old dad received was appalling. Moved to Sky, when @virginmedia asked how they could keep custom, our reply “ wouldn’t have if it was free”.

  • djmikey32 michael old (@djmikey32) reported from Garston, England

    @XboxLiveLogon @virginmedia No i dont i want great service and a engineer who turns up when they are scheduled to attend.

  • peachy_80 Chris Peach (@peachy_80) reported from Winsford, England

    @Dave_hampton @virginmedia @bt_uk I’ve got BT, good service from them but prices do rise from time to time.

  • John_B58 John B (+) (@John_B58) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia 6pm is what you always seem to say, it’s lazy customer service and not very helpful at all to your current customers.

  • andrewmoss76 andrew moss (@andrewmoss76) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia btsport 2 no signal missing the match here get it sorted

  • TezzP Tezz P (@TezzP) reported from Haydock, England

    Another weekend, another issue with Virgin media broadband, this has to be the worst broadband ive ever had #flakyatbest @virginmedia

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    So, at the end of my @virginmedia contract, question is, stick or twist, cost is going up and I do wonder what @SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam could offer as a returning customer, we shall see!

  • Sauber_Dave David Kelly (@Sauber_Dave) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia That was just a number to check if there were any known issues in my area. Not very helpful.

  • djmikey32 michael old (@djmikey32) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia No call, no message, no email 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 this is a service that don't care about there customers obviously......

  • hoeyie Peter Hoey (@hoeyie) reported

    @virginmedia I responded saying it wasn’t sorted but the emails have been ignored and I’ve never had a call. I’m gonna take it further now as I’m been taken for a mug. Not your fault but the service is beyond a joke

  • cpray86 Chris Ray (@cpray86) reported

    @virginmedia This has to be a joke?! I have literally complained about this text service twice in this thread, including within my last tweet to you!! This is just crazy!!!

  • marionmurray13 Maz 💙 (@marionmurray13) reported

    @virginmedia paying an absolute fortune for your services and WIFI has been crap for over two weeks!! Hanging on the phone for 40mins . 😡

  • keegsnell Keegan Snell (@keegsnell) reported

    @virginmedia No I don’t want to go on a forum I want to speak to someone. I’m paying for a service that isn’t working

  • Rhodri_H_Davies Rhodri Davies ☕️ 🤔 (@Rhodri_H_Davies) reported

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia: I finally got through after 50 minutes, your customer service rep told me to wait after I said I was switching & she then hung up on me! I'm now forced to try via Twitter because your customer service is so abysmal & I can't face another hr on the phone. Awful.

  • cca_nrfc Jamie Henderson (@cca_nrfc) reported

    @virginmedia Another shambles from virgin. Wait an hour to cancel my services... Advised I need to cancel through the moving team and placed on homf again... Even though I am moving to an address where virgin is NOT AVAILABLE. why must you be so bad at everything!?

  • wrigley003 Chris Wrigley (@wrigley003) reported

    @virginmedia This number you gave me yesterday and I have been going and front since. I have a screenshot that I asked to cancel on 21 January. I am still no wiser on any detail whatsoever. This isn’t covid, it’s high levels of incompetence

  • sugref75 Fergus McGrath (@sugref75) reported

    @virginmedia cannot get through on any of the numbers. Needing to speak to someone about the pricing of my service. It is shocking the contempt with which you treat existing customers whilst new customers can avail of offers up to 60% less than existing victims, I mean customers.

  • keegsnell Keegan Snell (@keegsnell) reported

    @virginmedia Forums are not helpful! I need to speak to someone. Been told on a forum it’s going to cost a lot of money to cancel a service that isn’t working and get out of a contract! Is this acceptable?

  • JulieDarbyshi11 Julie Darbyshire 💙 (@JulieDarbyshi11) reported

    @virginmedia Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
