Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Prescot, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Prescot and nearby locations:
-
DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported from Litherland, England@virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.
-
Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England@virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.
-
Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England@virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.
-
Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia @virginhelp I've never had this much issue as I have had today. I'm plugged in on ethernet, I've reset my hub, and checked my area and there is no issue at all. My WiFi is working from my hub but yet its booting me out of Destiny 2 and not just that but the chat parties on PS5 itself
-
Josh (@Parleyyyyyy) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia I’ve just done that. If you watch the video though you’ll see it doesn’t even let me get to the login page. As soon as I click on virgin media customer it tries to take me to a website & then closes down
-
Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England@VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.
-
Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England@virginmedia I'm checking online and it's saying there is an issue with the TV, but saying broadband is fine. I've had constant disconnections throughout the day for 2 weeks now. It works for a few minutes then goes off. What is going on?
-
Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England@virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.
-
Sarah Hill (@Its_Sal_Queen) reported from Liverpool, EnglandWould love to be able to start work @virginmedia, but the Internet is down.
-
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!!!!
-
Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England@virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, EnglandDay 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

-
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?
-
Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England@virginmedia In this room have always had problems but just not like today. The router is just over 2 metres from box.
-
Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England@virginmedia what have you done to the Sky TV app - its constantly buffering and showing error messages. Just awful service. Please can you get this sorted ASAP please.
-
lloyd #utft (@111O1O1O11O) reported from Wallasey, EnglandNo 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
-
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.
-
Amanda Ralph (@aralph50) reported from Liverpool, EnglandPlease sort this out. You charge enough, surely we are entitled to a service that actually works??@virginmedia #virginmedia
-
Ndawana Youngson (@NdawanaY) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia Too many service drops. Engineer has been to properly to fix but this persists.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
john (@jhargie4) reported@O2 @virginmedia @Virgin CEO Lutz Schueler Deadlock letter has now been received although it completely does not address my actual complaint and the reported resolution is factually incorrect. Just shows the total lack of respect shown to a 20 year loyal customer
-
CliveR (@CliveR39) reported@KuchPatryk @Se_Railway No Virgin Media broadband- @nationalrailenq were reporting a network problem
-
Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported@virginmedia If you check the DMs I’ve sent you 42 messages in the last 16 days. You have replied to lots of them. But you have never been able to tell me why the fix is taking so long, whether/when any engineering staff have actually turned up to look at our cabling, or when it will be fixed
-
Declan Carty (@declancarty) reported@IrishTimes Perhaps someone like the excellent Patrick Freyne might investigate why, after all these YEARS, Sky subscribers in the ROI cannot get ITV channels, whilst Virgin Media customers have no probs in doing so. Is it still supposed to be a ‘rights’ issue ????
-
Magnolia’s Art (@Magnoli23215778) reported@CheekyVic @virginmedia 100% agreed. Every fecking month I have an engineer coming. I’ve to do a whole rigmarole to turn my tv on @Virginmedia. I need to get rid. £92 a month I pay for crap!!!
-
LivingSage (@LivingSage2) reported@Dacosta150 @Jojo_agboola Bro, I’m on Youfibre too, lovely network. I dropped virgin media broadband, not because they are bad but cos of Youfibre upload speed. Their 1000mbps download is same with their 1000 upload. I’m on You2000 and it’s been lovely. @Jojo_agboola should try it
-
Eyezwideopen (@Eyezwideopen3) reported@JOYRANDEV62ef @virginmedia @jrdOvn They wont help they will just avoid the issue for months.
-
GamerStyle1980 (@GamerStyle1980) reported@seanaustin1985 @Johnty14 @virginmedia I remember phone VM tech support and the poor person on the other end of the phone didn't know an awful lot I ended up having to tell them what needed to be done I'm not with VM anymore thank god
-
/ Judge Drokk / (@JudgeDrokk) reported@mdf200 @virginmedia Someone actually with something nice to say about Virgin media. That's a first. We're legacy Telewest>Virgin users here, never really had any issues in 24 years.

R (@Rah333m111) reported@O2 @virginmedia spent months trying to resolve incorrect default from Jan 2026.Multiple complaints have been incorrectly closed/ignored/been passed between departments. No deadlock letter closed my complaint without addressing my response. @LutzSchueler help! Comp unacceptable!
