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

  • franners82 frances whitehead (@franners82) reported from Garstang, England

    @virginmedia can you help me verify my account - not receiving any emails…

  • Radebreast 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.

  • mgsevs sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @virginmedia Tried them all over 18 months. Short of moving the router, which imo will shift the issue from one room to another, there's not a lot else open to me according to your representatives. We work from home and my wife uses all her mobile data every month as a wifi hotspot

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia bb3 area: internet has been down since yesterday morning & update it's not going to be fixed till tomorrow. I have a online business to run & kids need to do their homework online, can't stream any tv either. Can I ask what the issue is & why its taking so long?

  • BooCavapoo BooCavapoo 🐶 (@BooCavapoo) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia No, that's not possible as the yoga device does not have wired port. The WiFi just needs sorting out. Its been terrible for weeks @virginmedia

  • Radebreast Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi - Ive noticed alot of people are having the same issues. Its the Sky TV Go app on Playstation 4. Ive checked it on another internet and it works fine so it is definitely an error on your side. You need to sort the internet settings. It struggles to load “on Now” on the app.

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia still no broadband in bb3 area since Thurs & update now says tomorrow for fix. Shocking customer service, why can't you tell your customers what is happening instead of saying an engineer is on the way on the updates, at least then we would know what to expect

  • mgsevs sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @virginmedia This help page just walks me through what I've already done, it doesn't show me how to reset the pod

  • wightpie Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent

  • TheRealRagtag Stephen Murtagh (@TheRealRagtag) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia No email access for 3 days now on the blueyonder access. All I get is "Oops, this page is broken." System says nothing is wrong. Terrible. I have done a check, and it says everything is working correctly on BBand/Telly. ??? Area 01.

  • Adzcantsing Adz can't sing (@Adzcantsing) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia useless we are trying to cancel and for past 2 weeks now since we have moved home. We have been pushed from pillar to post, been laughed at by customer service. Since we moved we have we've been promised someone will come and sort it.

  • mgsevs sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @MeNigeStew I'm with @virginmedia suffering for decent coverage in parts of the house & despite trying a pod (which has yet to work btw) wifi extenders (which fight with the main router) & 2 engineer visits I'm still suffering. Having full TV as well not sure how broadband price breaks down

  • J_w_D94 LeChonk (@J_w_D94) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I've seen that already thanks, but it's not going to help the kids with accessing homework online. no I am not on a B account as of yet as I have only just started out in the last week 😑 but even if I was on a B account it would still be off so doesn't make any difference

  • SourEnvy Elliot ⚽️🏈🎮 (@SourEnvy) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia Afternoon, I have an iPad with a Virgin SIM card that I no longer use. Obviously still need to pay off the monthly device fee but am I able to cancel the SIM plan?

  • wightpie Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant

  • ms_sasmassey sarah (@ms_sasmassey) reported from Preston, England

    Hi @virginmedia I've been having TV issues for a few days today is really bad missing channels - error code W02, and intermittent pictures on others

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

  • pstock62 Paul Stockton (@pstock62) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Internet down in BL6 5RN, any idea's

  • BooCavapoo BooCavapoo 🐶 (@BooCavapoo) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia please sort out the issues with the WiFi, Internet, broadband or whatever the term us these days. It is constantly slow or not working. Having to use mobile data is not an effective substitute for the service I am paying for.

  • sazm20 Sarah Smith (@sazm20) reported

    @virginmedia on hold to customer services for an hour then they cut me off 🤯 Not impressed!

  • PacoPacoparty Paco Party (@PacoPacoparty) reported

    Hi @virginmedia I've been trying to get in touch with someone to cancel my services over the last 4 days, but the phone keeps getting cut off after an hour of waiting. Can you help please?

  • amandacowie Amanda Firth (@amandacowie) reported

    @virginmedia tried to cancel today and it was made impossible. They wouldn’t accept it and hung up on me. Can’t be legal! Just want to cancel a service and I have every right to do that. Which ADR are you a member of?

  • MikeFirth4 Waiting for Cthulhu (@MikeFirth4) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, but that appears to be no help. It just gives your hopeless phone number and the Sunderland address we already have. I can't trust you to check anything we post to you. We just want to cancel our broadband as is our right!

  • larracroft Sue Jackson (@larracroft) reported

    @virginmedia How can i have confidence in your company when the service is so unreliable. You take our money each month but do not provide the service you should. Your colleague told me today that expected date fault would be repaired was 7th of February!

  • acharlottew Amy (Taylor’s Version) 🧣 (@acharlottew) reported

    LOVE to spend AN HOUR on hold with @virginmedia being forced to listen to Ed Sheeran five times and then they HANG UP ON ME when I finally speak to someone. Fuming.

  • Dorset_Steve Steve Wilson (@Dorset_Steve) reported

    @virginmedia I spent 4 hours on the web chat. We rectified my bills going forward, however, we weren't able to fix the current bill. I was transferred but got cut off.

  • rraqroo Rachel Ross (@rraqroo) reported

    @virginmedia But Why do you make it so difficult to report a fault that is workmen related? You call centre agent insisted that I be home for an appointment tomorrow , otherwise will add £25 onto my next bill. The problem isn’t inside my home, it’s outside my boundary under the pathway.

  • larracroft Sue Jackson (@larracroft) reported

    @BeardofRice1 @virginmedia I really sympathise. I’ve not been able to do any work today because there’s an outage with VM in my area! The service is very very poor but reviews with Sky are equally bad.

  • danniiscr Dannii Clayton (@danniiscr) reported

    @virginmedia I want it sorting today The complaint was made on the 14th January
