Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Manchester and nearby locations:
-
Michael Clark (@michaelclark09) reported from Sale, England@Shredda @virginmedia Oh damn, that's peak. Might just be a coincidence then 🤔
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke
-
Hazbullins (@Hasbullins) reported from Salford, England@virginmedia New call of duty released today and your Internet service is down. Are you taking the full piss out of me here? Wankers
-
👽 (@bludav_andrew) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Hi, for the 2nd time it appears you’re trying to charge me for a call out when I wasn’t supposed to be charged, I’ve already called once about this and was told it was corrected but it’s happened again? I’ve had to cancel my DD until sorted as due to come out 2morrow
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?
-
Chris Atkinson (@AckersStorm) reported from Middleton, England@virginmedia when will the broadband issues be fixed properly in my area?
-
JJ (@johnjoeoregan) reported from Manchester, England@stetopping Remember you did the piece late last year about Virgin Media Broadband being out for a day? It's now been down for six days in some parts of Manchester. Six full days and not a word from the company except automated messages.
-
Gamepopper (@gamepopper) reported from Salford, England@virginmedia Oh, my bad. Apparently the wiring outside my house has a fault, someone did come last Monday to work on it,and someone was supposed to work on it for Thursday, but it keeps being pushed back (order ref 55230469).
-
Nick Lowden (@nick_lowden) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia can’t get on service checker as app says it is out of service. Internet has gone down in M20 ?? When should it be fixed?
-
Weirdly even older fan (@Karamonkey1) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia And the sum total of welcome texts I received during my 7 night stay in Jamaica was 189. I never moved from the same hotel. I often got 4-8 texts whilst sat at the same restaurant table or in my room. @virginmedia get your act together
-
Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England@virginmedia network down again in Heywood appalling lack of service yet again
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia You’re not understanding. I do contact when the issue is happening, your advisor then fixes it, but it then happens again within 24 hours. I need a ‘once and for all’ fix. Not this whack a mole approach you’ve had so far.
-
Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, EnglandTell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?
-
Nadeem (@nadeem030986) reported from Rochdale, England@virginmedia we having issues with our phone line at home called @virginmedia to book an engineer for a home visit after 1hr 20min @virginmedia put the phone down thank you 🤬😡😡😡
-

-
Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia I spoke to your customer service team on 2nd January who advised all issues had been resolved and my sim card was being sent out by royal mail delivery. Even with any postal delays out of your control it seems odd that it hasn't arrived.
-
Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England@virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?
-
Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia I've been a customer for 10 years. Is this how your treat your loyal customers?
-
Rach (legacy fan) (@Miniboom2) reported from Salford, EnglandAh @virginmedia with this up and down service today you are really spoiling us!

-
Edward Barnett (@BarneeEb) reported@virginmedia have you now sorted the problem or will the next game be the same? We're paying for a service you're not providing. I assume you'll be compensating accordingly. 2 games, 2 failures. #useless
-
Julie Goldsmith (@JJools67) reported@virginmedia I have just spent over 1hr20mins on the phone trying to sort out my mothers virgin account she has dementia person I finally spoke to (after 3 other depts) put me on hold & we got cut off. He hasn’t bothered to call me back despite having my number! Dreadful service!
-
Andrew Birt (@MacBirt22) reported@virginmedia yet again let down by your company, first day of the football season, beers in the fridge, mates around and we end up listening to the game on the radio, your ability to utterly ruin people’s weekend is on another level, am I surprised NO, a complete shambles
-
Krystle (@vdaybabygirl85) reported@virginmedia Imagine for weeks upon weeks your internet has not been working. Can't connect on chat as no data and WiFi not working. Ran out of data repeatedly and have had to top up eSims And U have the AUDACITY to say my services will be suspended for non payment. No thanks
-
Paul THORNE (@harrewis) reported@virginmedia Unacceptable…should be offering compensation to customers for failing to provide the service being paid for.
-
cheryl blake (@BlakeyCb48) reported@virginmedia I hope you’re going to compensate everyone for the lack of service we haven’t had !
-
Simon J Gleaden (@Simon_Gleaden) reported@IainSankey @virginmedia There's no reward for customer loyalty these days. One's reward for staying with the same company for years is to be treated as a mug!
