Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Widnes, England

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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”

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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!

  • 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? 😱

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

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

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

  • Greyham94 Graham Tracey (@Greyham94) reported

    @virginmedia Are the customer care lines open today as I tried calling? That's why I came on here.

  • Originalclough1 Originalcloughie (@Originalclough1) reported

    @virginmedia I signed up to great offers and never received my 12 bottle Sid wine or money off. Emailed and tried to call but to no response. #liar #con

  • bunners81 Bunners (@bunners81) reported

    @AzureKishan @virginmedia @SkyUK That’s what I did never looked back broadband is quicker and more reliable with sky and I use more flexible apps for my tv ... saving me about £50 a month in the process

  • ras8519 Randa (@ras8519) reported

    @virginmedia Stay away from virgin media. Poor customer service (can't get through to anyone. Yes, covid has caused problems, but every other major service provider has provided a better customer service). Also, broadband connection isn't the most reliable.

  • GregBarnes2 (((Greg Barnes))) (@GregBarnes2) reported

    @virginmedia Your passing the responsibility of your company’s ineptitude onto me rather than communicating effectively with colleagues. I’ve not encountered anyone at VM who doesn’t effectively say “ I can’t help..talk to someone else”

  • SRJ90383018 SRJ (@SRJ90383018) reported

    @virginmedia Most horrible pple work for this ... they hang up in u when asking for help can’t w8 to leave them

  • BeardedOaf Barrington McGnads (@BeardedOaf) reported

    The only thing I hate about living I rural Norfolk, is the lack of Virgin Media. In London, it was the only service I would use and recommend. #VirginMediaSale

  • johnyq2509 john quilter (@johnyq2509) reported

    @virginmedia To put some context to this previously I had 350mb internet off you and consistently had 350 . I’m now paying for 1gb and have never seen it . The highest it has ever been is 650mb

  • Hadiisepic Hadi 🇱🇧🇬🇧 (@Hadiisepic) reported

    @virginmedia No it’s useless. We’ve cancelled our subscription anyway now, so congrats on loosing yet another customer
