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

  • coachdancad Dan Cad (@coachdancad) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I rebooted it yesterday and a number of times previously. I’m now in receipt of a Cat. 6 Ethernet cable which has improved wired speeds - I’d suggest these should come as standard - but wireless speeds are still slow and unreliable.

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Yes it's the same problem

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia An engineer has tested it ,it's fine. my partner has same device as me but has Android 07 not 08 and she has the same problem. It was fine till a couple of months ago. I think your hub is the problem ,waiting for a solution! 😡

  • thereal_rookie Paul Rooke (@thereal_rookie) reported from Prescot, England

    @virginmedia Rebooted, changed channels, sometimes get a bit of 5ghz, but really not high quality signal, stuttering video playback.

  • DJGlassBack PENALTYPOOL (@DJGlassBack) reported from Liverpool, England

    Why is my wifi not working yet again @virginmedia beyond a joke now

  • thereal_rookie Paul Rooke (@thereal_rookie) reported from Prescot, England

    @virginmedia It was an account pretending to be yourselves, trying to phish for info. Reported it to Twitter. The account viriginmeida has been suspended. #regards my issue. Your black spot spotter is not great if a black spot is so black that I get no WiFi

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Re: Wi-Fi cutting out, exclamation mark .Samsung blame your hub @virginmedia blame Android 8.0.meanwhile my service gets worse with no solution in sight. #frustrated

  • natherton90 Neil Atherton™ (@natherton90) reported from Rainhill, England

    @virginmedia No. Just the Sky Sports SD channels, there picture quality is terrible.

  • alchteb beth (@alchteb) reported from Warrington, England

    went on @virginmedia live chat at 2pm because my broadband was down - engineer arrived at 5pm and all fixed by half past! five stars from me!

  • coachdancad Dan Cad (@coachdancad) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Used the guide before - it’s why I moved the router. Poor signal is because I moved the PS4 5ft across the room. But it’s less than 5m away from the router in a straight line - obscured only by the floor and the tv is sits next to.

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I'm sorry I disagree it's @virginmedia broadband not Samsung broadband! So it is a @virginmedia issue .I don't pay Samsung for my Wi-Fi.

  • YODELhell YODELhell (@YODELhell) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia @sharonod1 Clearly they bloody can’t. Stop telling her the same crap.

  • YODELhell YODELhell (@YODELhell) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia @natashaoneill_ We’re getting sick of saying this. It’s NOT the customer’s responsibility to contact YODEL. Virgin hired them. Contract is with Virgin. All YODEL will do is tell the customer to contact Virgin. Stop lying to customers.

  • YODELhell YODELhell (@YODELhell) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia @Ramsey255Joanne HOW DARE you keep telling customers to contact YOUR chosen courier. The contract is between YODEL and Virgin. YODEL, if they even answer, will tell the customer to contact the sender. YOU chose them. YOU deal with them.

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Yes tried it , no change. As I mentioned in previous posts my partner Lyndsay has the same problem. Still waiting for you to come up with a solution ! Seriously thinking of trying another network now for my broadband. 😡😡

  • DCBlue11 Dave Carson (@DCBlue11) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia engineer has been out done tests everything fine , except the Wi-Fi cutting out . Which you say is because of Android 08 . My partner has same device as me but has Android 07 and she has the same problem. It was fine till a couple of months ago I think it's your hub

  • dbrindle92 David Brindle (@dbrindle92) reported from Liverpool, England

    @AdamWether @virginmedia @O2 For what you pay them you should be able to get signal on the moon

  • Tinkerbellkimmy KimSmith⛳🧘‍♀️ (@Tinkerbellkimmy) reported from Risley, England

    @virginmedia Hello virgin can someone look into my contract please getting nowhere speaking directly on the phone communication issues sorry to say My last Bill gone up to 84.25 the Sept its going up to 90.00 something for that im getting broadband up to 200mbps Tv mix & skysport

  • YODELhell YODELhell (@YODELhell) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @Loddonbrewery @virginmedia That’s because YODEL’s contract is with the sender, Virgin. They’ll tell the customer (you) to contact the sender. Virgin keeps telling customers to contact YODEL. They know that’s wrong, yet keep doing it.

  • lestervose ann (@lestervose) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia I have no internet connection WA11, checked area status (through mobile data 😏 thankfully can rely on 3 mobile) which reports no issues. Well there is...as per usual. Please help

  • FayeThomas_1 Faye Thomas (@FayeThomas_1) reported

    @virginmedia Trouble is, it will work for say an hour, then the broadband will drop off. Then come back on. Then drop off again. Then come back on. I just need to disconnect and try a different provider, I think.

  • jcbell88 Jenny Bell (@jcbell88) reported

    @virginmedia I'd accept that if anyone ever turned up. The street needs digging up and has done since August. Communication is awful, at least get in touch to say you're not coming, why and when you will! Hubby now writing a 2500+ word complaint email!! Shocking service!! #Atrocious

  • Key68147099 Key (@Key68147099) reported

    @virginmedia good lord what's going on. Box keeps resetting. Yesterday you were completing work in the area to improve services and today has been ridiculous. You can't get 5mins into a programme before the system shuts down. Can we get some update please as to what's going on...

  • riifty_ riifty (@riifty_) reported

    @virginmedia It says there aren’t any issues on my area; but it has been off all day since before I woke up this morning.

  • Ryanpri03433897 Ryan price (@Ryanpri03433897) reported

    @virginmedia ASAP it's been all night now not working at all, I renewed last week so can can cancel that. Jokers

  • Spongette1982 Charmaine Whitehouse (@Spongette1982) reported

    @virginmedia Well from a customer point of view you do think its acceptable as its becoming a regular issue now. Its more common to have issues than to have a normal service surely it should be the other way round! We want compensation and a refund for the last 2 weeks!

  • SamBuchanan1 Sam Buchanan (@SamBuchanan1) reported

    @virginmedia At almost 9pm are you any closer to being able to fix this issue? Are you compensating customers as your not providing the service we pay a lot of money for

  • 0princessx PM (@0princessx) reported

    @virginmedia Says invalid network settings and a problem with the router. Reset the router. We have 3 boxes in the house, ones the newest and two the older version, none are allowing us to watch live TV.

  • ShajuAhm Shaju Ahmed (@ShajuAhm) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely rubbish customer service

  • mgbetts13 Mike Betts (@mgbetts13) reported

    @virginmedia Spoke to them and clearly they can’t. Honestly don’t think anyone at @virginmedia knows what there doing. Poor form getting a contract emailed from yourselves but you say it’s not available
