Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Manchester and nearby locations:
-
Smyth Harper 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia In the orders and appointments section it says there are none. The text I have received confirming the appointment and threatening me with a £25 fine is different to the one offered to me by your customer services.
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia Will they help if the Wi-Fi is working at the time I call? Because my issue is that when it is working, your advisors consider their work done despite telling them that it usually doesn’t last. And invariable, it doesn’t.

Daniel McDermott (@dantheman8t5) reported from Dukinfield, England@virginmedia Not as yet. Just that my postcode seems to be affected when checking service status

CLAIRE GROVER 🐝 (@ClaireabelleRed) reported from Bury, England@virginmedia Thanks for updating I've had my 82 year old dad on the phone as he only has the main tv channels so I guess its the same issue as the pixalation issues. I'll let him know
-
Mike Chilton (@thechilledpanda) reported from Bramhall, England@virginmedia Unbelievable, you've sent me a dongle to connect a landline too the broadband on the 6th , so the phone line isnt going to work, though not much help on 150 as they abruptly cut you off. Website is also down.

kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, EnglandI have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.

Weirdly even older fan (@Karamonkey1) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia And the sum total of welcome texts I received during my 7 night stay in Jamaica was 189. I never moved from the same hotel. I often got 4-8 texts whilst sat at the same restaurant table or in my room. @virginmedia get your act together

Dave (@bigdave22003388) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia im guessing technical support ain’t working ? Got no tv and can’t get any help
-
SLT4K 👨🏻💻 🇬🇧 (@Slt4K) reported from Urmston, England@virginmedia / Super disappointed after calling to renew my contract and as an existing customer you can’t offer anything half as good as a new customer. Shocking customer retention strategy 🤯
-
Gamepopper (@gamepopper) reported from Salford, England@virginmedia Oh, my bad. Apparently the wiring outside my house has a fault, someone did come last Monday to work on it,and someone was supposed to work on it for Thursday, but it keeps being pushed back (order ref 55230469).
-
officially Gaynor Austin 💙 (@birdflu_7) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia If you want I can send pictures and ALL THE emails .I don't have the time to keep discussing the same situation with yet another virgin media support staff . My time is precious.
-
Martyn The Driver (@martyn_driver) reported from Rochdale, England@virginmedia after 26 years as a loyal cable customer it is time to say goodbye. It would seem that loyalty is not rewarded, and you don't want low use customers
-
Kerry Louise (@KerryKez7) reported from Urmston, EnglandDon’t ever get Virgin Media internet/WIFI it’s SO garbage & keeps going off especially when your watching something WTF & apparently it’s the most up to date & according to them it’s the best NO it’s not plus it’s expensive for being SO c**p 🤬💷😤

Hannah Tompkins (@he_tompkins) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Hi there, I was told I would receive my replacement broadband by today and still no indication of when it’s going to arrive. Any help?
-
kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia That number is a automated response not a customer service agent and an utter waste of time
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia I was also promised a call back from a manager within 24 hours on a phone call on Friday afternoon. I did not receive this phone call. This is absolutely disgusting and I expect something to be done. I rely on your service for my income as I work from home. (2/3)

Aquanaut 2025 (@aquanauts2019) reported@virginmedia You are going down hill rapidly. Top management need replacing with someone who can sort your company out. I have put off spending an hour plus on the phone to sort out TV pixelation. Also fed up with being fobbed off with secondhand kit. I am out ASAP
-
Boyan 🇬🇧 🏳️🌈 (@boyan_london) reported@moonsongenj0yer @virginmedia Can’t even imagine how frustrating that would be, mine is up and running now… I think it could be this heat causing issues but not sure…
-
Kingofsalemsdaughter (@salemsdaughters) reportedMishandling calls isnt reserved for virgin media but the NHS and all their staff members. I received a long awaited call from 111 regarding my toddler. Id like to note irs very late and he is now asleep. Before id even said hello after answering the phone call she rudely asked if i can hear her not even saying hello herself. That was an indication the rest of the call was going to be pointless. WTF?
-
LaurenA (@LRNA11) reported@MartinSLewis Another major issue with Virgin Media (and possibly other similar providers) is that they don’t provide customers an option for “No Roll-on” at the end of the contract. Their reminders are puny and twice I got caught with paying almost double monthly rates after contract. 1/
-
Xmarksthespot (@hopskipjumpy) reported@MatthewStadlen @virginmedia Virgin Media are the single most useless, duplicitous, awful company on the planet. I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.
-
Ryan (@Inevry109) reported@ZiaYusufUK Virgin Media knocked on my door asking if I wanted to change my provider. I asked them to leave. Then I got a delivery leaflet for the local takeaway through the letterbox. I've never felt more harassed in my life.
-
Ross Tristram (@rosstristram) reported@Ofcom @Ofcom trousered £28m for themselves. Just as bad as @virginmedia 2 peas in a pod
-
Nathan Gage (@NathanGage15) reported@virginmedia @BonesE78 My contract is about to expire I won't be renewing it as the best price they can do is double what I'm currently paying however a new customer can get the same package for £10pm cheaper than what I'm currently paying.
-
Tariq Mahmood (@tariqm786) reported@virginmedia can someone contact me please. Problems with my home internet seems to be becoming a more regular occurrence. Tried your call centre but it’s now closed!
-
Rosario Munday (@RosMunday27) reported@virginmedia glad Virgin have been taken to task. It took me months to leave, services cut off for no reason, I'm disabled left me without a phone when I complained they would put me on hold and cut me off My last complaint wasn't even acknowledged let alone dealt with! Shameful
