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

  • Bolt100Wands boltonbwfc (@Bolt100Wands) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia an absolute disgrace all night the pixelating of every channel on our boxes plus all Bolton the same! Service Status saying nothing wrong! Sort it Virgin! We pay for a service!

  • teesh69 ✨$ERENA✨ (@teesh69) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Thank you, but there is no point. I’ve spoken to 6 people who have all either lied or said they can’t help. Would be grateful to know why your company records calls but then refuses to listen to them though? Thanks

  • LiamRLaverick Liam Laverick (@LiamRLaverick) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia No you’re alright,, literally the worst internet provider I’ve ever come across, will be leaving and moving to Sky tomorrow

  • Josh_Deegan Josh Deegan 💙 (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Guys, this is happening again today and is worse than its ever been. There HAS to be something wrong with either the router or the cable, as I've done everything in my power to fix it. This is making my job impossible to do and I'm suffering with falling behind because of it

  • GeoffJonners Geoff Johnson (@GeoffJonners) reported from Bolton, England

    Any chance you can sort this picture issue out @virginmedia

  • Bolt100Wands boltonbwfc (@Bolt100Wands) reported from Bolton, England

    Once again @virginmedia tried to ring you but your customer care is shocking. I know of over 100 people plus in the Bolton area with continuing pixelating on ur TV Service which means you cannot watch TV! This needs sorting ASAP! Shocking service and unacceptable with what I pay!

  • outspokenoneuk Marc Lloyd (@outspokenoneuk) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I’ve got 3 separate issues! Nobody cares, I can’t use live chat coz that Isn’t working either! I’ve not had a stable connection for 24 hours, when it’s normally working I have to sit next to the router because the range is like 20 cm so I can’t use internet in any other room

  • JardineClifford Clifford Jardine (@JardineClifford) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia You have a covid notice saying don't call unless its an emergency so I'm using chat.... 13hrs later still waiting.... customer care and satisfaction has never been a strong point with virgin media

  • MrMcSmee Martin McGovern (@MrMcSmee) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for pointing out what I already knew about my contract. Do you not have a response in relation to the actual issue?... The shocking service, & the obvious reason why an unhappy customer lacks any real desire to continue being a customer? Irregardless of the increase.

  • Josh_Deegan Josh Deegan 💙 (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Yep. Checked all that, used the app and it says everything is great. I called the customer service line yesterday and it said it needed to send something down the line but nothing happened.

  • pete_vella Pete Vella (@pete_vella) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia yet another broadband install cancelled at the last minute. Spent 10’s of hours trying to speak to somebody and today I was assured that the service would be connected. Despicable company. Blame COVID all you like, but you’re just completely useless. OFCOM claim!!

  • Josh_Deegan Josh Deegan 💙 (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England

    Been on hold to Virgin Media for over 30 mins. Internet has been so intermittent for months and this week is the worst I've ever known it. Impossible for me to WFH with it like this. Missing deadlines and not able to speak to service users. Beyond frustrating.

  • MrMcSmee Martin McGovern (@MrMcSmee) reported from Manchester, England

    Virgin broadband down yet again! 4 months of the absolute worst service I've ever endured. Yet @virginmedia expect me to continue with them on the day of a massive price increase. I'd phone them, but don't really care for waiting an hour to get through for the 20th time #Yay2021

  • PamThornes Pam Thornes (@PamThornes) reported from Greetland, England

    @virginmedia She is in the process of cancelling but made her decision. The boxes were removed by your engineer although customer services said they were not, but they were. And Virgin about 18months ago charges her £31 ish twice then upped it to £45, £46..

  • outspokenoneuk Marc Lloyd (@outspokenoneuk) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia How about I just pay when you fix all the issues? I’m sure that if I don’t fulfil my terms of the contract regards to payment you will disconnect me but you are ok to not provide me with internet or TV services that I pay for

  • MrMcSmee Martin McGovern (@MrMcSmee) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Do you not understand it is absolutely nothing to do with speed? It's the constant outages! Pretty easy to work out how that is useless to me. Also, yet another outage with fix time tomorrow. Pls don't reply with another useless generic response as they are no help at all.

  • outspokenoneuk Marc Lloyd (@outspokenoneuk) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia are honestly useless! Rang with the same issue I think 12 times each time they tell me there isn’t an issue, like I’ve got time to ring and tell them issues that aren’t there! I’m tempted to just cancel my direct debit and go to sky

  • Josh_Deegan Josh Deegan (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia For months and months on end my WiFi has been in and out like the hokey bloody cokey. I've downloaded the signal check app and it tells me signal is great when it's clearly not. Trying my best to work from home but this is causing me unwelcome stress.

  • JardineClifford Clifford Jardine (@JardineClifford) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia my package price has gone up again and I'm now paying almost twice as much as a new customer how do I leave without having to call

  • Weirdyweirdtwit Simon Ritchie (@Weirdyweirdtwit) reported from Manchester, England

    Oh @virginmedia yesterday I upgraded my broadband speed for the kids & I to WFH effectively (double what it was) & sure enuff it’s now not working at all 😡 & been on hold 20 mins plus to a special tech line you bundled in for me ... kids next lesson in 10 mins!

    @virginmedia Is everything down this morning ? The one big worry about landlines going to voip has materialised, no phone service 🙄

  • hypercrypt Klaus-Peter Dudas (@hypercrypt) reported

    @edwardrussell @virginmedia That would require someone to use some initiative. From dealing with customer support in the past, that’s not a thing at @virginmedia

  • mlarman Mat Larman (@mlarman) reported

    How can @virginmedia be down for the whole country??

  • Miikkeed Mike (@Miikkeed) reported

    Godspeed to everyone else attempting to work remotely with a total #VirginMedia outage 🫡

  • patiwloczewska Pati Wloczewska (@patiwloczewska) reported

    Abroad right now, and I have no service. I'm with @virginmedia and from what I'm reading here on Twitter it's a national outage? Any idea when it might be back? It seems like it's been going on for hours now.

  • nlovell99 Neil (@nlovell99) reported

    @edwardrussell @virginmedia Down in Exeter, Devon. I can access Facebook, and my emails (Gmail). Some websites load eg BBC News, others don't. As others have experienced can't use mobile data to access their status page. This fuxks up my working from home. Thanks @virginmedia

  • colinrobbins Colin Robbins (@colinrobbins) reported

    Widespread #virginmedia down, including their own website. Suggests a DNS issue. @virginmedia - can you login using (non-virgin) mobile and send a status tweet please.

  • robpw2 Rob Gilbert-Warsop (@robpw2) reported

    The problem with this outage is that tv is controlled by the internet so i can’t even watch paint dry #virginmedia
