Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Manchester, England

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

  • IanCardy2 Ian Cardy (@IanCardy2) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    Unsolicited sales call from @virginmedia offering me an upgrade but pay more! Why would I pay more when the services you already provide are slow & outdated with zero customer service. Prove it works & then maybe 🤔 but £99 a month is already too much!

  • MaryAkram3 M A R Y (@MaryAkram3) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Shittest internet going problems after problems we’ve had for a week and we pay a fortune!!

  • twiddlemeister Dave (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @dj_damien @virginmedia I once had an advisor tell me that my services (that were going down for an hour or so once a day, every day for a week) must have had no issues because I was downloading tens of GB a day. Can’t wait for BT to put their gigabit lines in round here. Will switch in a heartbeat.

  • NiallDouglass Niall Douglass (@NiallDouglass) reported from Manchester, England

    Keep getting some threatening emails from #virginmedia about the return of media kit. Still waiting for them to pick up as a previously agreed confirmation date was made via their site. Worst customer service ever #virgin #virginmedia

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia told by them today that problems with “catch up” service not something that was paid for so in effect had to put up with the poor performance, in the end offered a tenner! Perhaps there is a better solution, ie get rid of them & get someone who cares 🖕

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been with Virgin Media now for well over twenty years but I’m not happy with customer services whatsoever especially having the phone put down on me on two occasions ! 😡

  • exvista_eamonn exvista (@exvista_eamonn) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Eventually. Very poor service. Your call centre staff are difficult to deal with. So disappointing as your broadband and TV are so good.

  • shuttsi77 Richard Shuttleworth (@shuttsi77) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia why won’t my Apple devices work properly on your personal WiFi? What is the solution or should I start charging my phone data bills to you. Your boss heads to space, brilliant but his customers can’t get consistent WiFi in the 21st century. Please help.

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia I can never get to speak to someone who fully understands me because all your call centres are now sourced overseas.I need a Manager to ring me ASAP please. Not happy whatsoever how I’ve been treated it’s not acceptable to be treated with ill manners 😡

  • reg14reg Nick Poynton (@reg14reg) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia it’s no excuse and with the gas works I can only presume they have gone through a network cable. But I have not seen one engineer or van anywhere near the main port/box for Virgin to try and fix this since 0900 today. The time has just been going back and back allday

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    So many problems @virginmedia this year, poor system, poor WiFI, poor connections, poor customer service, all seem to be continually getting worse as does the response to complaints. Anyone else putting up with this poor quality? @skytv looking a clear future prospect

  • rebeccahw_x Rebecca🐕 (@rebeccahw_x) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia M22 area wifi not working :/

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia so much for Virgin Media to ring me yesterday Friday 6th Aug over three complaints. Phone call from Customer Services never came to fruition .. Not a happy chappie 😳😡

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia also since my contract inception May I’ve had no 5G or 4G just 3G which is extremely slow when processing fast is needed. Extremely poor & I’m a long standing loyal customer of Virgin Media for over 20 years when it was called Cable Wireless (NTL)😡

  • DaveGarside Dave Garside❤️🇾🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️⛳️🎸 (@DaveGarside) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Yes there are and there were all 3 times. Currently 4.00pm estimated to be fixed but that’s my Saturday pretty much gone without any service

  • rebeccahw_x Rebecca🐕 (@rebeccahw_x) reported from Manchester, England

    wifi down again @virginmedia in M22 area :/

  • exvista_eamonn exvista (@exvista_eamonn) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is appalling! After more than 20mins, I finally spoke to someone who confirmed an engineer had been booked. When I checked via chat today I was told no appointment had been made and after a further 30mins offered an appointment a week later.

  • shuttsi77 Richard Shuttleworth (@shuttsi77) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia Just Apple, they struggle to connect and buffer whereas non Apple laptops are fine, for example. Either that or it’s our WiFi? Please help?

  • JoshTheG4ymer Josh The G4ymer 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧 (@JoshTheG4ymer) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Yes, all we get is a known outage, but been like this for 6/7 hours now. No word or updates have been given.

  • shackmcfc ShackMcfc (@shackmcfc) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia how do I report cabinet damage that needs urgent attention? Tried the number but option 2 to speak to someone just rings out

  • BurleyNeo And Beans (@BurleyNeo) reported

    @virginmedia The automated phone status tells me "sorry that you are still having intermittent problems but are working on it" then sends me a link by text to say everything is ok in PL2. It's not intermittent I have no service at all. Can you give more information please?

  • foodiesaurus Foodiesaurus Regina (@foodiesaurus) reported

    @virginmedia @richardbranson Apparently, your WhatsApp team doesn’t arrive for three more hours. I guess I lost my place in your 8 am phone queue to cancel.

  • GaldiesL LisaGB💙🇺🇦🙏🏻 (@GaldiesL) reported

    @virginmedia the label sent to return my mums box will not scan - please help

  • Itwasjustameme 🌶 (@Itwasjustameme) reported

    @virginmedia an entire day without Internet. Hub is fine. I assume “service is fine” and you are still “unaware” of any issues?

  • SaunshiG GS (@SaunshiG) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband is down in St Helen's Adamstown Dublin.. Any update on it? @rtenews

  • Gadgetoid Phil Howard (@Gadgetoid) reported

    @NotEnoughTECH @virginmedia ********? Approaching £40 already felt expensive.

  • Kirstenkat Kirsten (@Kirstenkat) reported

    @virginmedia lies with the outside box anyway as the hub is flashing green for both wifi and power suggesting the issue is outside especially as it was all working perfectly until it went down.

  • StudioNIB John Shelley🌿🎨🇪🇺 (@StudioNIB) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for responding! When I reverted to broadband only I was offered the faster M200 fibre. I had hoped this would mean more reliable performance, but I still have occasional drop-outs, when everything just disconnects (especially in the evening), & poor wireless reach.

  • Gadgetoid Phil Howard (@Gadgetoid) reported

    @gazchap @alister_ware @virginmedia The dark patterns are bad enough at the best of times. Right now? It just feels cartoonishly evil.

  • F4TAX F4TAX (@F4TAX) reported

    @virginmedia Pile of Pants, 6 years of crap service, now fully cancelled......
