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

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • unlovedlongsigh Phil Samphire (@unlovedlongsigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @RabnawazA @virginmedia Yes my partners zoom meetings crash even though we got a 300 Mb line the Wi-Fi signal is not that great and we got boosters what we tend to do is use mobile data for the rest of us but we are in the fortunate situation that we can

  • 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

  • cpiyush Piyush Chechani (@cpiyush) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Thought it was tough to connect to someone on phone (57 mins wait) and another 36 mins convincing your helpdesk colleague that there is a problem - they sent someone within 12 hours to check and that talented technician found and fixed the issue in 20 mins.. all sorted !! 👍🏻👍🏻

  • 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

    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

  • cpiyush Piyush Chechani (@cpiyush) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia is there anything wrong with your services in Altrincham area? It’s been 36 hours of intermittent issues with broadband (fiber). Service status says everything is fine but laptops and phones are dropping off connections..

  • Woodylass Gemmalea Woodward 🐝 (@Woodylass) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I recently put in a request to cancel my contract. The email is from an operative offering a good deal, but its asking me to call him on on his mobile as he's working at home

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

    @virginmedia internet been of for a whole day . Been customer for years . Quickest technician yo come out is Wednesday. What a joke

  • MathewFaulkner9 Mathew Faulkner (@MathewFaulkner9) reported

    @virginmedia had an email stating increased price on Netflix. I selected to change the package to a lower price option and you just cancelled my subscription! I have also endured 5 minutes of automated messages to be then greeted with ‘sorry we are closed!’ Jokers. Just fix it.

  • ClaudBurkinshaw Claud Burkinshaw (@ClaudBurkinshaw) reported

    @Anubhav35580718 @Millroy098 @virginmedia Count yourself lucky that you haven't got yourself into a contract. You've definitely doged a bullet. Just go with someone else, someone who actually provides a good service for your money. I've never know such poor service from anyone, they couldn't care less about your custom.

  • _hannysnell hannah (@_hannysnell) reported

    @virginmedia please can you contact me regarding a serious issue that is repeatedly being ignored.

  • jamesgibson279 James Gibson (@jamesgibson279) reported

    @virginmedia Team have been useless, and when cold calling virgin media team called the other day trying to sell stuff when I advised that we weren't interested until you fix the issue she hung up. Refuse to upgrade us to a hub 4 & keep using second hand hub 3s which are garbage products.

  • emmarosefit Emma Rose Smith (@emmarosefit) reported

    @virginmedia what’s with this no connection since yesterday? We can clearly see from the tweets that you’re experiencing issues. Please get it sorted, we’ve assignments to be submitted this weekend and I work from home!

  • fnJdm JDMfn (@fnJdm) reported

    @H1ghSKy1 @virginmedia my WiFi is down

  • amy_v_long -Ax (@amy_v_long) reported

    @virginmedia At this point it could be either and/or both. It takes hours to get in touch with anyone and then I just get cut off or disconnected from chat. No one has a whole day to spend trying to get in touch with you. Your customer service is TERRIBLE.

  • wayoiwarai warai (@wayoiwarai) reported

    @3Simmo @virginmedia Contact @anectodal now to fix your account immediately

  • JasCochran Jason Cochran (@JasCochran) reported

    @premierinn I just canceled an upcoming stay of 9 nights because your Wi-Fi is so abominable. Your corporate decision to outsource connectivity to @VirginMedia was a poor one, esp. considering how little responsibility on-site staff has.
