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

  • phanleyphotos Paul Hanley Photos (@phanleyphotos) reported from Prescot, England

    Moved from @virginmedia to @SkyUK but phone number hasn’t moved. @virginmedia say it’s possible to still port it and the response from @SkyUK - we don’t know how to do that, hang up and try to speak to someone else after 3 hours on the phone 🤬🤬🤬

  • 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 I’ve had no service all day as have other people in the street.... not the first time I’ve had to sit on the weekend and miss my team live on tv for which I pay a good deal of money for, I don’t need to check a checker to tell me your service isn’t working

  • 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!

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia @LadyHorkins Standard response from a truly shit company who tell lies and say an 82 yr old’s husband ordered sky films after he’d been dead for 9 months then deny any wrong doing in their internal enquiry. Then provide what I can only describe as a piss poor service ... don’t buy virgin

  • 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”.

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia Oh don’t tell me to switch it off and on again.... there is no service wether it’s on the checker or not.. can’t be arsed searching for something I already know ... no virgin, I’m oot

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • MrCRichardson Craig Richardson (@MrCRichardson) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia help help what do you need to do to get help from virgin media..😡😡😡😡

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

  • 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!

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

    @SkyHelpTeam I’m on Facebook Messenger and three times I appear to have been passed around to another agent, three time’s being asked to provide my name and info. Then get told someone will be with me. This is really poor customer service. Come back @virginmedia, all is forgiven.

  • 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

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

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

  • awesome_walls Steve Wall (@awesome_walls) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia you may have faster network speeds but if you don’t improve your router network range I’m going back to @BTCare at the end of my contract!

  • Tiiredbunny Bunny 💙 (@Tiiredbunny) reported

    @virginmedia So I have tried it on chrome on mobile, chrome on PC, edge on PC and on mobile data and it loads then jumps to the home page with the message re the queen and asking me to sign in? Can I book an engineer visit through here? we have a solid red light on the router done all resets

  • ste_bird23 ste bird (@ste_bird23) reported

    @virginmedia hi, can you tell me best way to make a complaint to get something sorted today. Fed up of being on hold for over an hour and then being cut off or nobody answering the web chat

  • ArdentNether ArdentNether (@ArdentNether) reported

    @virginmedia I am unable to contact you via those methods, other than by post, because I am not an existing virgin media customer. This was an unsolicited house visit as a result of a uswitch search to find broadband deals in our area and we opted to go with someone else.

  • Tiiredbunny Bunny 💙 (@Tiiredbunny) reported

    @virginmedia It's just taking me to sign in?

  • gastanuke gasta (@gastanuke) reported

    @virginmedia Internet still down. And now your website says that you've fixed the issue. Ridiculous service

  • rbartn_ Rob (@rbartn_) reported

    @virginmedia I'm going to revive this thread. It's now over a month since my issues started and you've been unable to resolve them, won't compensate until it's fixed (if it ever does get fixed) and refuse to provide me with an alternative internet solution. This is such poor service.

  • shynes93 sam (@shynes93) reported

    @virginmedia I have never bought or paid for anything via the TV service. Do you have a contact number for the billing team please?

  • AnderConsult Paul Anderson (@AnderConsult) reported

    @virginmedia your broadband team really are a **** show aren't they. Cut off from cancelations for a 3rd time, mid conversation. I want to cancel my Broadband!!!!!!!

  • rbartn_ Rob (@rbartn_) reported

    @virginmedia I have been through all of this. There is an issue logged since mid August. It does not show on your useless issue checker (website or app)! But it does show and is logged on your internal systems. The estimated fix time KEEPS CHANGING BECAUSE YOU ARE USELESS.

  • fox_box22 FoxInABox22 (@fox_box22) reported

    @virginmedia I what I mean by that is "we're really sorry but your waiting on a replull". That's about it and nothing to help really.
