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

  • 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 ! 😡

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

    wifi down again @virginmedia in M22 area :/

  • 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

  • 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 Why would I pay more when the services you already provide are slow & outdated with zero customer service.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!

  • 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

    @virginmedia M22 area wifi not working :/

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)😡

  • 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 😳😡

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 😡

  • 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.

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

    Well @virginmedia what a disgrace! Phone, internet and tv down from 0905 to current time and now saying next estimated time back up 2300!!! Two people working from home and loss of pay for both! And now no tv for #ENGvSCO match!

  • 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?

  • 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 🖕

  • 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!!

  • 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

  • SJT25 Sara Jane Thompson (@SJT25) reported

    @virginmedia Done all of that already and the tv is connected via Ethernet and always goes down too

  • rossco69 ross sharpe (@rossco69) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done all that and clicked the link to order a booster cos it doesn’t reach upstairs couldn’t order one rang the number no one answers over 40 mins waiting to get through awful customer service

  • nsclarke65 Nigel Clarke (@nsclarke65) reported

    @virginmedia No thank you, in the time you took to reply my wife has just got sky to reduce our monthly bill by £60. It's just a pity their broadband is poor where I live otherwise you'd be losing that too. Terrible service!

  • rossco69 ross sharpe (@rossco69) reported

    @virginmedia Again your calling me a liar fobbed off again NO ONE WANTS TO HELP SHOCKING ITS IRONIC YOUR CALLED VIRGIN COS ALL YOU DO IS F*** people over

  • GailVEynon Gail Richardson (@GailVEynon) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Hey @virginmedia - we are not at all satisfied at the resolution from the complaints procedure and we will 100% not be renewing our contract with you. Shame you couldn’t do the right thing to resolve this issue - it would have resulted in a better long term outcome for you.

  • superstaryas7 yas ➐ (@superstaryas7) reported

    @virginmedia Doesn't matter if its wired or WiFi. Everything has already been explained over a month ago and whenever u call in, someone from India makes u do all the trouble shooting steps again and I'm not wasting my time doing all of that for no reason

  • LeopardPopular Popular_leopard (@LeopardPopular) reported

    @virginmedia How on earth is it useful? Tells me I’ve got a **** connection? Then what? Does it send fairies round to boost up the signal?

  • TheAstroPhil Phil Evans (@TheAstroPhil) reported

    @virginmedia No, that is real last resort stuff. Last time I had this problem it was an issue at the Virgin/Janet boundary, which seems more likely than my router suddenly blocking a whole IP range spontaneously.

  • Teganleaaa Teganlea (@Teganleaaa) reported

    @virginmedia Done it all. Repeatedly. As I’ve mentioned a million times I’m always told there are no issues. The new thing is from 10pm my internet pretty much doesn’t exist

  • GraeWestgate Grae Westgate (@GraeWestgate) reported

    @virginmedia very unimpressed with the attitude of your service team member when I phoned trying to cancel services with you. Seemed to take personal offence when I explained that service had been intermittent, leading to issues trying to teach from home.
