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

  • torisprung Tori Sprung (@torisprung) reported from Liverpool, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We haven’t been booked in. Following some quick and informative enquiries, @virginmedia can install a new service in 3days; yet, a @SkyUK engineer can’t come out to us for over a week? When we pay a monthly small fortune, this all feels like terrible customer service

  • philtrucker1510 Phillip (@philtrucker1510) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia any chance sorting out your internet issues in bromborough / Eastham it's a joke told you have sorted out the chip playing up yet loads locally still having problems

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

    @virginmedia are actually have the WORST customer service ever. No wonder they have never won any awards

  • XCharlotteJadeX CharlotteJadeDuffy❀ (@XCharlotteJadeX) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia please can someone help me cancel my contract, I move house in a few weeks and have been trying to get through to you many different ways with no luck for over a month now, I need to sort this ASAP, thanks

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

    @virginmedia I get the same result hard wired with Ethernet too. It’s not a wifi issue. Also I’m not sure how wifi would decide to ignore an increase in speed and decide to limit itself to the old speed coincidentally. Someone on your end hasn’t enabled the faster speed to my property.

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

    @virginmedia The text messaging team that says it aims to respond within 4 hours but hasn’t responded to me since 11am yesterday? Basically I have no option now but to sit on hold in a queue for 30+ mins to fix a problem you’ve created by not upgrading me. Your customer service is awful.

  • philtrucker1510 Phillip (@philtrucker1510) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Your customer service is shocking @virginmedia

  • HellsbellsO Helen Walsh-ONeill (@HellsbellsO) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia hi are tv and phone line are not working can you help WA8 8BS

  • JuiceTerry9 The Clawless Lobster 🦐 (@JuiceTerry9) reported from Garston, England

    @ALANMYERSMEDIA @virginmedia Absolutely incompetent. Takes an hour to speak to someone, they then tell you you’re through to the wrong dept and pass you back in the queue. Took me 2 months to sort my internet out recently. Awful service.

  • jm_donnelly James Donnelly (@jm_donnelly) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Not just me then? Twitter tells me everything I need to know @virginmedia your broadband is unreliable, has been unreliable for weeks & I feel like i’m wasting money. No this isn’t an isolated issue you just need to pull your finger out & stop ruining my evenings its 2020 ffs!

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

    Nearly a week after signing up to a new contract with @virginmedia they’ve still not upgraded my speed to what we agreed to. Their Twitter support refuses to acknowledge the issue and my complaint hasn’t been picked up yet. I guess they don’t care once a contract is agreed.

  • DarrenMoggie66 Darren (@DarrenMoggie66) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia how can you put my bill up yet new customers can have the same for £30.00 cheaper ,20 years a valued customer but no incentives to renew my contract

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

    Need to cancel my @virginmedia contract as the price is going up but the only way to cancel is by phone, with up to an hour queue time. Brilliant.

  • steveeades Steve Eades (@steveeades) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia why is my internet not working again? WA7 4RF postcode please advise.

  • AntSweeney Unbearable for the foreseeable 🏆 (@AntSweeney) reported from Warrington, England

    @ThirdUncle2 @virginmedia That's mental, the options for the departments don't make sense either. To change your package, moving home or thinking of leaving us press 4.I press 4,how can I help you, thinking of leaving you, we can't do that here we will have to transfer you to another department.**** off

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

    @virginmedia There’s no known issues. I shouldn’t have to spend 30 mins on hold trying to get through to you to have an issue corrected that hasn’t been done as part of my contract agreement. Shouldn’t you be able to call customers when you have an agent free who can make outgoing calls?

  • JuiceTerry9 The Clawless Lobster 🦐 (@JuiceTerry9) reported from Garston, England

    @AidyDews @ALANMYERSMEDIA @virginmedia That’s exactly what happened to me. Upgraded to 500mg and the speed/coverage got worse. They ended up giving me 1 Gig for the price of 500mg & a hub4 because they couldn’t fix it. Took me about 10 hours & years off my life to sort out. Nightmare.

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

    @virginmedia Hey @virginmedia , can we arrange you to call people back rather than sitting in a queue listening to terrible music and running up mobile bill costs?

  • joanreece jo m b (@joanreece) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia why is your internet so rubbish? We get a bit of rain and wind and the whole TV goes off with no connectivity its woeful. We have sat here for a few hours now with no tv at all and were paying £49 a month for wifi that doesnt work!!!

  • steveeades Steve Eades (@steveeades) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia Carried out the tests and internet now working but seems slow. Also there is an error noted on the Samsung set top box?

  • Ralph_Hapschatt 🇻🇦🇮🇸Ralph Hapschatt (@Ralph_Hapschatt) reported

    Automated scam call. "You have been charged £79.99 to renew your Amazon Prime account. Press 1 to cancel." @virginmedia @AmazonUK

  • GBlunty Gary Blunt (@GBlunty) reported

    @virginmedia I'm getting messages saying my mailbox is unavailable and to ring. The automated line has no email help. Can you help me?

  • PdunnPaula Paula Dunn (@PdunnPaula) reported

    In the last 2 days my internet and TV have been off more than on! So frustrating! Please sort it out @virginmedia The 150 service is useful but gives limited information or assurance 😮‍💨

  • HoskinsJW Jacki Hoskins (@HoskinsJW) reported

    @virginmedia I Call that number every day - no resolution

  • jim_dawes James Dawes (@jim_dawes) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently there is a 'complex issue' which your engineers are working on - this is incredibly vague. Where is the estimated timescale to fix the problem? You are costing people like me money as we endeavour to work from home. It's just not good enough.

  • anxious2secure 🌎 (@anxious2secure) reported

    If you’re thinking of @virginmedia DONT DO IT. They’re customer service is appalling. I’ll prove it by their response to one of these tweets. Just repetitive unhelpful rubbish.

  • titlerequired Robert Pearman (@titlerequired) reported

    Wonder if @virginmedia outage is also being caused by Certificate Expiry...

  • tazy201 tarren shaw (@tazy201) reported

    @virginmedia @EGX Can’t wait to leave virgin media shocking service in my whole area and no one bothers so sort main issue out

  • DesmondMandi Mandi Desmond (@DesmondMandi) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been through all that via various ‘pictures” on your webchat! Useless service

  • Debbie09640295 Dougiefresh (@Debbie09640295) reported

    @virginmedia @andriagV I ended up speaking to 3 different people the same day to make a complaint of how unfair I am being treated and Calle numerous times beforehand and they still didn’t put me in a better Internet speed without wanting to charge, for which I’m paying enough for anyway.
