Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Manchester, England

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

  • carlroach Carl Roach (@carlroach) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia Hopefully. I realise that these things can be complicated and stuff does go wrong. It is the fact that there is no effective way of communicating with you as a customer that upsets me r most. It makes me feel that I am really of no value to you.

  • cooper_jackie jackie cooper (@cooper_jackie) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia unhappy I have to wait until next Thursday for someone to come fix 2 of my 3 tv boxes because of the outage they had on Thursday just gone. Customer service is not very good and nobody seems to listen given the amount of calls I made to them . Not happy

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia That doesn't tell me anything. Just that the engineers ".. are working hard to fix it....." The service has been down since 7 last night. And no idea when it will be fixed. With zero redress after 4 incidents in a little over a week. Poor.

  • ThatGirlKatie80 Katie Mallon (@ThatGirlKatie80) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia expect a call from me tomorrow cancelling my service. Third time this week now with the same Network Availability error. Right in the middle of a film. Tired of rebooting. Bye #virginmedia, hello #SKY 👋

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja (@CurryInTurry) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia @stewartbowie4 I'm afraid this is the new Virgin. Absolutely shocking customer service. I've been lied to and have numerous complaints in at the moment

  • carlroach Carl Roach (@carlroach) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia I am fully aware of this webpage, if you follow through any of the options to get information or FAQs, but no way to actually connect with VM directly. I recently used the complaint option but just got a vague response that didn't help me with my concerns.

  • PIL0TPEDR0 Pete Best (Pil0t Pedr0)💙 (@PIL0TPEDR0) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia How long before the Internet problem is sorted out in the BL1 area going to take?

  • carlroach Carl Roach (@carlroach) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia The problem is not my broadband or home service, it is the mobile signal where I work. I can not use the VM app as this requires data to validate the SIM, how else can I contact customer services directly?

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @johntweedie @frednfrank I've switched the router to Modem to get the signal to the 2nd floor loft. Allied to the self installed mesh network, that works well. The signal isn't now the issue. Being without services from @virginmedia 3 times in just over a week, is.

  • LordFoxx75 Si 🦊 🐝🐝 🇮🇪 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@LordFoxx75) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Broadband and TV down….I need to work at home….sort it out

  • DougHall18 Doug Hall (@DougHall18) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia The worst possible service from your disgraceful company TV and broadband down 5 times over Christmas. No explanation, no apologies. Sod the fact that I can't wfh or watch prime time TV. Had enough, I'm leaving.

  • DebbieG_EA Debbie Grimshaw 🐝 (@DebbieG_EA) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia what is going on in the M34 postcode? Slow internet speeds and unreliable connection for the past three weeks now. Virtually impossible to work from home 🤯

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia I've woken up to no Internet service at all, again

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @johntweedie @frednfrank @virginmedia It may be 30 years old. Strangely, with BT (Cable), Sky (wired), never had issues.

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia You did. At about 6pm. Now it's down again. That's five times in a little over a week. Beyond irritation now. Are you - company - going for some record? Or just reminding me to take my blood pressure meds?

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia If does now. 12:00. That's 17 hours without service.

  • PIL0TPEDR0 Pete Best (Pil0t Pedr0)💙 (@PIL0TPEDR0) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia BL1 2NJ Still having problems with disconnecting and connecting, been like this for 4 hours. I have reset my router numerous times

  • cooper_jackie jackie cooper (@cooper_jackie) reported from Manchester, England

    @lilacjennie @virginmedia Totally agree. Been with them for years and treat customers really bad.they only care about the money. See how they get on when I cancel my direct debit. Bet they will soon be on the phone trying to get payment

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Now showing estimated "fix" time of 16:00. 21 hours without "service". This. Is. Not. Funny.

  • salfordbeerfest Independent Salford Beer Festival 💙 (@salfordbeerfest) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia ANOTHER outage in BL4 9LR area? Are you kidding me? That's the fourth in just over a week. And the second today!

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Sim_LKS Kahsim Lee (@Sim_LKS) reported

    @virginmedia This isn’t working! I tried calling and now it just sends me a text message to the link on the help section. I’ve been through the factory reset and it’s not helped!

  • McCullochNick Nick McCulloch (@McCullochNick) reported

    @virginmedia I’m not discussing my account. I’m asking for honesty of the scale of the issue you have in London right now! Sending me a text number for your useless bot just starts more endless loops and nothing being done to fix the issue, no updates and no truth about what is wrong!

  • BMVideoUK Ben Macrow (@BMVideoUK) reported

    @stevejenkins85 @EricaKnight31 @virginmedia I finally got my issue (fault) sorted on Friday, ironically over the phone, so I never needed the failed engineer call out anyway! I think your best bet if you can is to call customer services at 9am, stick your hands free kit in, and wait it out on the phone...

  • grumppot GrumpPot 😷 (@grumppot) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I texted. I heard nothing until eventually a text saying 'We just wanted to check if you still need help with your query?' Well guess what! I'm not posting on a bloody forum to get help switching/activating TiVo boxes activated. You need to speak to you customers sometimes.

  • QprShivvy shivam patel (@QprShivvy) reported

    @virginmedia They said u can order it online or through the app. It doesn't work and I did inform your customer service to send one but same again told to order through the app. Cmon its been like 3 months since we upgraded our package to a faster broadband but still no Internet in my kitchen

  • iso25999893 iso (@iso25999893) reported

    @virginmedia is your call centre down? Can’t get through. I did earlier this morning as was rudely disconnected. #poorservice

  • allthenooks 📖 (@allthenooks) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it says the service is down again, which I already know. That isn't a solution. Your text help is useless, it just asks me to check the status page just like you do.

  • MATT_WWFC_ROCK MATT WWFC ROCK /\_/\ (@MATT_WWFC_ROCK) reported

    @virginmedia I raised a formal complaint on the 8/12/20. I received an email response on the 5/1/21 saying that “education given” was an acceptable resolution. I have spent over 2 and a half hours on the phone to your retentions / customer care department to have the call disconnected twice.

  • davidtalisman David Talisman (@davidtalisman) reported

    Dear @virginmedia Now that I'm not a customer of yours, a quick summary of my four years as a broadband customer. 1) Joined in around January 2017. After the first week, your service went down completely for TWO MONTHS.

  • QprShivvy shivam patel (@QprShivvy) reported

    @LeeWestwick @virginmedia I don't think @virginmedia are here to solve anything. Staff are just hired to make up the numbers. Very frustrating. Intelligent Wifi my foot, upgrade after upgrade. Costing me fortune every month for a shi*** product and service.
