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

  • heytc1964 Tim Coulman (@heytc1964) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia I’ve registered my issues via the complaints facility online and will need a call at some point to discuss and resolve them

  • XboxE3Fans Xbox E3 Fans 🎮 (@XboxE3Fans) reported from Manchester, England

    @aravelle @virginmedia Yikes, that sucks :( I know they’re doing a lot of new areas in and around Manchester so I do hope they’re in your area ASAP! :(

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just asked for all calls relating to my complaint over the past two years. You said no. So now I do a complaint against you with ico. I believe you will get a fine. Sorry.

  • Jenny_Whitham Jenny Whitham (@Jenny_Whitham) reported from Manchester, England

    I’m stressed, I’m tired and about to have an operation. @virginmedia are pushing me over the edge with their appalling customer service and general money grabbing disgusting ways. I made my complaint over a week ago, now you’re just ***************.

  • Samueltennant Sam Tennant (@Samueltennant) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia UK Sales say 1 month extension reconnection impossible, but offshore call centres said yes but this has not happened yet. House moves are stressful. Please help.

  • CarlitosGirl Gail (GiGi) Frampton (@CarlitosGirl) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No not really, I need a call or a name I can email. I just need a resolution, can't spend time telling a long story to people who don't have the authority to look at the account and resolve it. Can you do that or can you pass me to someone who can. Please.

  • louise_woodman Louise Woodman (@louise_woodman) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia No, just that it will be on and off until the 30th. I am not asking for ‘fault free’ just some acceptance that we are paying a lot of money for a service we are not getting and paying extra for 3G. The attitude from virgin is it’s ok because you are getting it sometimes!

  • Samueltennant Sam Tennant (@Samueltennant) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia VERY happy customer for eight years, only disconnecting as not available and new address but the last 24hrs have been a nightmare. The offshore call centres simply seem to have no facility to understand something like this which is off script. 1/2

  • SalfordHydro Dr Neil Entwistle (@SalfordHydro) reported from Salford, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I’ve moved house & your website confirmed I can have your services however when the installer came he said we need to get the local neighbours to use “cable my street” on internet. However we can’t because your website says we have it. Catch 22! Help please.

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No clue. Tried escalating a complaint with you about 30 times over the past 2 years and you keep ignoring me.

  • markfrobi Mark Robinson (@markfrobi) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is abysmal. I am fed up of chatting to a robot or someone in india repeatedly asking me the same questions and getting absolutely nowhere. 3 engineer visits, many phonecalls, online chats (some not even answered) and still got nowhere.

  • CarlitosGirl Gail (GiGi) Frampton (@CarlitosGirl) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I asked Rashid to cancel for me he said he would delay. He didn't. I haven't installed or used and in no state due to a bereavement to sort this out. Even your no reply email service replied to me so I have a date. Don't think I have signed a DD agreement or the contract.

  • CarlitosGirl Gail (GiGi) Frampton (@CarlitosGirl) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia It's pretty much a long story so would be better to talk. New customer on the pay nothing for 3 months deal. My dad was taken seriously ill and given a month to live. I asked to cancel in cooling off period. Emailed, tried to call. Spoke to Rashid the guy on my doorstep. Nothing.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @Simatron3000 @virginmedia That looks bad, mine is better than that, but notice no packet loss.

  • craigawilliams Craig Williams (@craigawilliams) reported from Sale, England

    @NuclearJelly @BeccaLock2 @virginmedia @SkyUK In the interest of balance. Been with them for about 15 years and never had an issue

  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia appalled at the service I’m currently receiving from your customer service rep on the phone. If she calls me “m’am” one more time, I might cry. Her attitude stinks.

  • louise_woodman Louise Woodman (@louise_woodman) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I keep calling and it plays the same message saying you knows there’s a fault and you are trying to fix it. The same message since Saturday morning. It offers texts to update but I’ve had no texts even though I’ve put my number in each time I’ve called.

  • SalfordHydro Dr Neil Entwistle (@SalfordHydro) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Ok great, I hope you do as thus far your customer service phone line hasn’t. The engineer hasn’t. The manager I spoke over the telephone hasn’t so you’re my last hope before I’m forced to shop elsewhere

  • Samueltennant Sam Tennant (@Samueltennant) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi! Follow-up to my prob yesterday, Housemove has been delayed, VM discon 16/09, I've now asked for 1 final mnth. >1hr on phone with 3x outbound call centres yesterday; still not clear if 1) Service will be Reactivated today & 2) will be for one month, not 12/24. Ta!

  • louise_woodman Louise Woodman (@louise_woodman) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia we’ve also got no catch up tv etc.. only live tv. Again since Saturday. Tried rebooting but this doesn’t help. No timescale given on the number you gave me and no texts sent to update.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • bgold89 Brad Gold (@bgold89) reported

    @virginmedia @hkneil Hi! Was this resolved at all? I have the same issue. Channel part of the subscription and plays on tv box but won’t play in the “on the go” app at all. Only channel to do so (Premier Sports 2 does work for example but Premier Sports 1 doesn’t)

  • desbrofox Lauren White (@desbrofox) reported

    @virginmedia my 1gb stopped working 6.27pm last night, rebooted and it came back for 30mins. Just tried now, guess what? Not working on wired or Wi-Fi only had it 4wks wanted to cancel but got talked into having this. Now regretting it

  • dano_uk Dano (@dano_uk) reported

    @virginmedia I don't want to share that on here and can't seem to DM, so what do you suggest? Problem still persists. Neighbours still complaining also and others in the local/not so local area.

  • salmcg36 Sally (@salmcg36) reported

    @richie_rich77 @virginmedia @bt_uk My advice would be to check your location for Wi-Fi signals. If you are having problems with your Virgin Wi-Fi there is a high chance you will have probs with any provider.

  • skinny_lad StigBillGates (@skinny_lad) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry forgot to reply. Virgin managed to remotely solve the problem the same day, so didn’t need the engineers visit

  • lucyjanebrown47 Miss crabstick (@lucyjanebrown47) reported

    @virginmedia And this morning it is still out, that's 24 hours now, bf called up and a man said give it another 6 hours without any reason for the failure, another fob off, I am pushing hard to cancel you and move to another provider.

  • Dan92873206 Dan (@Dan92873206) reported

    @virginmedia joined o2 (whilst being a virgin customer for years) 2 weeks ago and still have not received any of my volt benefits. How do I go about getting my advertised volt benefits?

  • Janrd35723880 Jan (@Janrd35723880) reported

    @virginmedia Won’t be calling back! Waited forever to speak with someone so don’t have the time again! Will get in touch with British Telecom instead! Your customer service is now very poor!!

  • MBH_Rick Rick Dean (@MBH_Rick) reported

    @virginmedia I tried to raise a complaint but after being on hold for over 15 minutes on a 25 minute call I have no idea if your adviser managed this or anything else

  • sophiarussell89 Sophia Rowden (@sophiarussell89) reported

    @virginmedia To turn the router on and off, they’ve advised we’re on the fastest broadband so shouldn’t be having issues. Told us to contact them again if it doesn’t work, multiple times we’ve contacted since and haven’t received a response. We are beyond frustrated with it.
