Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Prescot, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Prescot 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.

  • 111O1O1O11O lloyd #utft (@111O1O1O11O) reported from Wallasey, England

    No service in CH44 for 2 days last week, back on for 2, then off again today. No text updates but service status says a fix by 20.00. Won't happen though will it? @virginmedia

  • 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?

  • les_murray71 Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @MarkKav15119614 @virginmedia Well my bills ain't getting paid today so will get charges, anything i try to do on apps / chrome not working, twitter on and off

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

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

  • 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

  • les_murray71 Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Thats just an update to say they are dealing with the issue, people want to know what the issue was and why it is taking so long to repair, there is a continuous extension to repair time and your customers at least deserve detailed information

  • 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.

  • 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? 😱

  • les_murray71 Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia @joshyw0shy Its the whole of the Wirral by the sound of it, no statement from Virgin, just telling hundreds of customers to check for an outage, only have to look at their twitter to see how many of us have been told the same thing

  • 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?

  • les_murray71 Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Yes got the update thanks, but not helpful receiving texts to say issue resolved, services been off for 14 hours now, any background to the issue?

  • 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

  • les_murray71 Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Yes got the update thanks but not helpful receiving a text to say issue resolved, service has been off for 14 hours now, any background to reason why? Its a massive area to be out with no explanation

  • 111O1O1O11O lloyd #utft (@111O1O1O11O) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia I only worked as a network Ops mgr for nearly 10 years, so I guess I wouldn't understand network issues and connectivity, really. Or service level agreements. Or teaching my grandmother how to suck eggs.

  • 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!

  • 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

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

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

  • 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”

    @virginmedia To be honest, your "outage" checker tool is pretty useless, it's never accurate

  • staceysreading Stacey (@staceysreading) reported

    @virginmedia Received an email on Friday to say you’re upgraded our WiFi at home. This weekend our WiFi has been the worst it’s ever been - constantly buffering or devices disconnecting. Can we have the old service back please?

  • blondyjenz21 Jenny (@blondyjenz21) reported

    @virginmedia I've been having awful problems with your service since way before Christmas and have had 3 engineers out to fix it.

  • midge60 Sue McCaffray 💙 (@midge60) reported

  • steveg01 Steve Gillen (@steveg01) reported

    @virginmedia How would I know? When the system goes down my broadband and wifi go down with it. I have not looked online since... you tell me, it’s more your job than mine.. (I’m not trying to be rude, honest, but you’re the VM employee and should maybe be aware of problems)

  • BenjaminEdmonds Benjamin Edmonds (@BenjaminEdmonds) reported

    @virginmedia It keeps dropping out and has been going for a week or so. Nobody to actually speak to on your faults line, keep getting told to look online which doesn't help at all.
