Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Widnes, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Widnes and nearby locations:
-
James (@jgrailpics) reported from Liverpool, EnglandWhen will I be able to go just one single day without @virginmedia failing, cannot wait until next year when the contract is over, increase the bills but reduce the service to next to nothing?
-
Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England@virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.
-
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)

Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England@DoctorLemma Well done . Always had great service from @virginmedia just cant afford them anymore.

Councillor Michael Haw *🇺🇦 (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, EnglandVirgin media customer service 🥴😭🤯
-
Amanda Ralph (@aralph50) reported from Liverpool, EnglandPlease sort this out. You charge enough, surely we are entitled to a service that actually works??@virginmedia #virginmedia
-
Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia So I’ve been told false information to make me sign up there and then! Terrible customer service there!
-
DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported from Litherland, England@virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.
-
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?
-
DRood 🏳️🌈🎗 (@DoctorRood) reported from Chester, England@virginmedia What does Virgin do for disabled people, when their internet goes down?
-
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
-
Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England@virginmedia Or put me through to a manager or try to be remotely helpful in keeping me as a customer, im trying to sign an 18 month contract to give you money every month which I could just give to someone else I will not let this lie till i have my money back!
-
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
-
Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia is honestly the worst company for WiFi
-
Jonesy (@RWBJ1997) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia your customer service team is proper shite. Your router is in the bin outside ours
-
Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England@virginmedia So I had loss of service but not complete even tho the service I had wasn't enough to even complete a 15 minute online training. Great. Even though you only have cold water, would you still get a bath? Nah don't think you would
-
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? 😱
-
Simon Roberts (@Simonrob1984) reported from Saughall, England@virginmedia why is the service down in Chester area? #virginmediadown
-
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.

-
Elizabeth Ellis (@LizEllisPianist) reportedGhastly customer service from @virginmedia #O2mobile , no resolution to an issue which started in August 2024 ! Beyond a joke at this point ! Legal route is now the only way forward with this !
-
Mo2 (@ImaginaryCard) reportedHello @virginmedia the Internet has been down since 7.30am and I haven't been able to register a loss of service on your website. Wtf
-
Andy W (@AndrewW12290183) reported@virginmedia Still yet to happen. Plus you will still keep my money for a TV subscription that I never signed up for. Virgin does not reward customer loyalty. I also see you think customers issues are funny
-
Ashron Designs (@AshronDesigns) reported@virginmedia I have decided to cancel after nearly 20 years! Tried live chat and all they did was reduce the package to reduce the price.
-
Andrew Baynton (@theandyb10) reported@virginmedia this morning. After lots of wasted time and persistence, I managed to raise a complaint. They informed me no record of my conversation yesterday evening and no ability to give me a priority / urgent appointment. Furious!
-
Filius Scott (@RobinRaving) reported@virginmedia Nope! But have found out my new provider will be able to cancel my contract on my behalf so I don't have to go through the agony of trying to deal with your "customer service" team.
-
Djacid (@djacid25) reportedSorry about no streams . No content . I have no Internet @virginmedia say it will not be back up until the 13th . Its been off since the 5th. No word . No update. Not even a message from virgin media. I dont feel like a customer at this point . Rather just a number. Do better
-
@bling_pot (@bling_pot) reported@virginmedia Can you explain how you can even justify increasing your broadband service to over double for a single household who limits what they use WiFi for?!
-
MouseMat (@andymousemat) reported@virginmedia been a customer for over 12 years and given you approx £12k - Is there any chance you can replace my 6 year old hub 4 - which is old technology now.
-
Steve Smith (@SteveSmith98) reportedHi @virginmedia. Fault F012283434 started last Thursday and you're now saying you don't intend to fix it at all this week. Do you actually think it's OK for your customers to be unable to work for a week? Could you not even try to explain what's wrong and what you're doing?
