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

  • 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.

  • 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

    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

  • 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 😳😡

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

    @virginmedia M22 area wifi not working :/

  • neyo Steve Day (@neyo) reported from Manchester, England

    @Netflixhelps I haven’t but I’ve streamed it via Virgin Media and EE’s mobile network, so it feels it’s not likely to be that? Can you or someone on the team try streaming it on iOS and letting me know if it works?

  • 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

  • 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 🖕

  • 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 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 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 😡

  • 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

  • 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!

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

    wifi down again @virginmedia in M22 area :/

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 ! 😡

  • helblam Helen (@helblam) reported

    @virginmedia Our broadband has for weeks been going slow, and cutting out. Yesterday while working I was getting 1 mbps! So I followed online steps to reboot hub etc. It then said to reset hub. Now lost my boosters. Tried several times and can’t get to work.

  • SudhaPuri Sudha P (@SudhaPuri) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia the issues are ongoing and haven’t been resolved since Saturday 14th November. It’s outrageous

  • DanielG49753151 Daniel Gibson (@DanielG49753151) reported

    @virginmedia Things are okay for now but as I said it seems to go down at random times for about 2 hours everyday, since I'm working from home this is not ideal

  • scrivens4 Gareth (@scrivens4) reported

    @virginmedia It comes back on and works fine then it just cuts out all together. This happens ever couple of days but normally at around midnight, except this morning where it has cut out right at the start of the work day.
