Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Manchester, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Manchester and nearby locations:
-
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?
-
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?
-
Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England@bluecitygirl232 @virginmedia I had the same issue with them in December always down not reliable couldn’t WFH so binned them off went to BT and fingers crossed not had an issue to date
-
Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia you have caused me nothing but hassle for months now. Your customer service team are completely useless.
-
Daniel McDermott (@dantheman8t5) reported from Dukinfield, England@virginmedia Not as yet. Just that my postcode seems to be affected when checking service status
-
Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England@virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)
-
Ray Morgan. NHS💙🇺🇦 (@Rayzor74) reported from Stockport, EnglandGood start to the day with @virginmedia informing me my monthly bill is increasing by £15/month and I have until the 17th of April to decide on my options. That is £180 annually. Having been firstly a Nynex customer and a Virgin customer since the takeover think it may be time
-
Richard Ashton 💙🇺🇦 (@Rik_Ashton) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England@SkyUK My Sky package is slowly edging up. Some new customer deals from a couple of years ago have worsened discounts but... I'm still around £30 a month better off than when I was with Virgin Media. Never going back.
-
kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia No as you person on 150 said you do not have a customer service that I could talk too. Your engineer said it was a fault at the box in street so I don’t know when it is fixed. But it’s not improve in the last month
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia I have phoned you at least 10 times this week. I’ve had a visit from a technician. My Wi-Fi still doesn’t work. I rang up AGAIN in the last half an hour, after waiting for 30 mins to speak to someone, they said they had ‘system issues’ and hung up on me. (1/3)
-
Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England@virginmedia Submitting a complaint will probably result in an apology at best. Given I pay £1k per annum for an unreliable service it’s time to look for an alternative provider who can offer a more satisfactory customer experience
-
Sandy Lindsay MBE 🐝 (@SandyLindsay) reported from Sale, EnglandHave @virginmedia gone down in South Manchester??? Been kicked off the wifi!
-
Sam (@Samuel_J_Mc) reported from Timperley, England@virginmedia customer service is so ****. They just transfer you round to different departments
-
Ducky 🇺🇦 🎃 👻 (@duckyblog) reported from Tyldesley, England@virginmedia Issues with all VM services in my area says expected fix by 4:40pm today.
-
Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England@virginmedia network down again in Heywood appalling lack of service yet again
-
officially Gaynor Austin 💙 (@birdflu_7) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia I have numerous emails of my complaint , all of them paying lip service so to speak .
-
Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Urmston, England(Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in B9?
-
Dave (@bigdave22003388) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia im guessing technical support ain’t working ? Got no tv and can’t get any help
-
kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia That number is a automated response not a customer service agent and an utter waste of time
-
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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Monty Kumbulla (@KumbullaMonty) reported@virginmedia What are the chances of a very-light-use customer that has been with you for THIRTY YEARS getting a deal at the same cost as a brand new customer?
-
Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported@alan_reddish @sibelian62 @virginmedia They are a terrible company for internet. Fortunately for us we have plenty of their direct rivals who we use instead now after they made it clear our custom was of no interest to them
-
Adam (@adamebond) reported@4Viewers The Channel 4 app on Virgin Media 360 isn’t loading. It gets to a title screen and goes no further. Is this an issue on your end or theirs?
-
ArtVandaley (@dothefunkgibbon) reported@virginmedia Instead of silly twitter replies , when you know there is a big outage why don't you publish it on the website ? Have a message on the phone line also , would solve a lot of problems . Your phone lines were overwhelmed yet that could have been prevented .
-
Helen Bedford (@helenxbedford) reported@virginmedia I have an engineer visit booked but it’s not showing on the app. I’ve raised a complaint about that but my complaint isn’t showing on the app. I started a live chat and was asked to move to WhatsApp’s, but didn’t receive any comms. How can I get a response from you?
-
Pure Hearted Human (@Graelwyn) reported@Ang_Jones72 It doesn't matter much now. As I intend to take my life as what virgin media don't know. Is that my mother and father abused me most of my life. And maybe since I never got her unconditional love as she loved only through money. I wanted to use the only thing she gives me now. Since she wouldn't call virgin to explain. As she cares more about my brother's partner's mother having cancer. Than that I may have cancer. So virgin media get their payments. And I have finally given up. That is all.
-
Escape to the Garden (@JanetsEscapades) reported@virginmedia I have recently closed by Broadband account. I returned your equipment on 25th August 2026. I have an in-post receipt. However, your email is no reply & there is no contact phone number for customer service? I am now getting further emails about returning this!
-
LivingSage (@LivingSage2) reported@Dacosta150 @Jojo_agboola Bro, I’m on Youfibre too, lovely network. I dropped virgin media broadband, not because they are bad but cos of Youfibre upload speed. Their 1000mbps download is same with their 1000 upload. I’m on You2000 and it’s been lovely. @Jojo_agboola should try it
-
