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

  • NealJFletcher Neal Fletcher (@NealJFletcher) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No, the picture still looks like I’m watching TV on a cheese grater. Looking at a few threads on your forum this isn’t a new issue either, customers have been experiencing this for well over a year. How’s about I stop paying for the TV part of the package until it’s sorted??

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

    @virginmedia I had a problem a few weeks back and couldn’t get through to you because of the queues, I expect it’s the same now. I should learn my lesson and move to another provider I think.

  • Scraggmeister Mark Spencer-Scragg (@Scraggmeister) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Morning. If you’re still here for me, Broadband speed still only (max) 120mbs. Still paying for 350mbs & I’ve factory reset my hub twice. Can you help please? Thanks.

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia You are not listening. I understand it fluctuates. What I mean is why have I had an acceptable 300meg signal for 11 months & now it’s dropped to below half that? 4 phone calls & two technician visits can’t sort it???? I want what I had!

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The technician came on Wednesday & did a wired connection test. We are only getting 180meg which is terrible considering we are paying for 300meg! My children can’t get a signal at all whereas they were fine before! Two visits and still not resolved!

  • PammyVegas21 Pamela Lavell (@PammyVegas21) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I was going to go to a better provider but was assured that the price was guaranteed until May 2021. You have broken the terms of the contract AGAIN. How many mature citizens who aren’t as computer savvy get ripped off by you? How is this being allowed to happen? Shame on you

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia I need to cancel a engineer appointment for Wednesday. I’ve already been on the phone 40 minutes and I’m not waiting any longer especially after being told ‘we’ll prioritise you’. Please cancel it otherwise it’s a pointless trip for your engineer

  • HelenLMoran HLM (@HelenLMoran) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I need to cancel an engineer appointment. I can’t do it online and I don’t have a password to get through on the phone

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

    Sigh. Yet another @virginmedia broadband issue where it’s gone down. Again. Feels like this is a monthly thing now.

  • peter0raw Peter Rawcliffe (@peter0raw) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve been on the phone for nearly an hour for the 3rd time this weekend. Can someone get in touch ASAP as my TiVo box has stopped working. I’ve tried all online support and cannot get through to anyone. Very frustrating!!!

  • HelenLMoran HLM (@HelenLMoran) reported from Garston, England

    I hate to call a company out online but @virginmedia are awful

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia TV/Broadband issues again! WN2

  • Juliefundraiser Julie Lawson (@Juliefundraiser) reported from Seaforth, England

    Well done @virginmedia customer service at its worse. Rang to get help to open ports to get RING bell/video working argumentative staff parting shot pay us £20 and £5 per month we’ll sort your problem. You are a joke

  • emma1995_louise emma louise crowther (@emma1995_louise) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia desperately in need of some help

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia Again fully appreciate and understand that. However, elderly vulnerable person has to rely on this service and it is intermittent and not reliable

  • Allenwalkden Woggy (@Allenwalkden) reported from St Helens, England

    .@virginmedia it's Christmas Eve and your crappy internet is down again, can't stream any films, been shocking service all year

  • 2003mirror Lord David Hurn (@2003mirror) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Ggod Afternoon I have been unable to contact you, having problems with the TiVo box all other equipment is working, the screen is pixelating not getters picture properly, done everything how can I get in touch using on line chat ?

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

    @virginmedia It just says it looks like I can’t get on the internet and it recommends an engineer to come out. On the FOURTH OF JANUARY. During a pandemic when I’m working from home. I left @virginmedia because your service kept dropping, some things never change.

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate that, however, this is not the first time and I'm guessing it won't be the last. Praying a lot of money for a service that doesn't work!

  • Scraggmeister Mark Spencer-Scragg (@Scraggmeister) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Ok. Thanks for this suggestion. I have posted something on the ‘Community Forum’, but you’re my service provider. Why can’t you sort out my Broadband speed issue? I’m paying for something I’m not receiving. #baffled #gettingannoyednow

  • brunosilveira80 Bruno Silveira (@brunosilveira80) reported

    @virginmedia That is a good question. Incompetence? Poor customer service? I am just writing an email to Mr Lutz Schuler, and he will hopefully be able to help.

  • MaxAshley86 Max Ashley (@MaxAshley86) reported

    @virginmedia @MikeB237 Would help if we could connect with someone at virgin media to tell them we want to cancel

  • matt_lodder matt lodder (@matt_lodder) reported

    @MartinSLewis After ten years as a customer with @virginmedia all i can advise anyone is to AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Upgraded to a phone I never received and now i'm stuck with a 24 month contract for a phone that's never been active. The worst customer service i've ever experienced. Leave now.

  • TheMrW3 TheMrW (@TheMrW3) reported

    @virginmedia I will attempt one more call (because the first five didn't exactly get me anywhere) Then after that, if it is not resolved... I'll be looking at alternative solutions to dispute the service received. Ironically, twitter team has already been much more helpful than on the phone

  • bcoleman1989 Byron Coleman ⚽🦉 (@bcoleman1989) reported

    @virginmedia my contract has run out so my discount ended and gone up to 67pm. I was offered same price and same package. why would I renew at that price when I could let it roll over. mentioned speed can come down if that reduces monthly cost but said it wouldnt

  • Alex_Turner_81 Alexander Turner (@Alex_Turner_81) reported

    @virginmedia Out of interest, how does VM determine the best deal possible deals should only go to new customers? I've spent the equivalent of two new customers over the past two years. What made my broadband service twice as expensive to provide? That's what disappointed me today.

  • jpandhak jpandhak she/her (@jpandhak) reported

    @virginmedia It says there is no issue with the broadband however I keep losing connection and have been since lunch time this afternoon.

  • bunny5432100 Umm, no (@bunny5432100) reported

    @virginmedia Installed and active for a long time. Same email address. Can't register. No one can help.

  • Misterpinkcat mrpinkcat (@Misterpinkcat) reported

    @virginmedia all devices yes...and i am a customer....

  • MaxAshley86 Max Ashley (@MaxAshley86) reported

    @virginmedia @boxinfan Have you managed to cancel yet ive been waiting on chat for 3 hours this morning it's a joke
