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

  • 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?

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOWTV awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • 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

  • rickcharlesuk Rick Charles Media Services (@rickcharlesuk) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia fastest bb worst ping 💪🏻

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOWHelpTeam awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • AlexxTheTiger Alexx 🏳️‍🌈 (@AlexxTheTiger) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Not really, I checked your system on my virgin media page and it reports no problems on the area, I already restarted and rested my modem, more then once time

  • AlexxTheTiger Alexx 🏳️‍🌈 (@AlexxTheTiger) reported from Stockport, England

    I never been so mistreated by @virginmedia like I was today, the staff on the live chat literally "hang up" on me mid support... absolutely gutted, saved all the conversation and I will seek citizens advice over this, that is no way of treating a 6+ years costumer

  • 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 😳😡

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Told yesterday that it is a local problem due to be resolved by 12th August, however that seems to be a standard reply which is now becoming tiresome. We have to wonder if @virginmedia have fallen back in the hi tech department & that we should move on to a more reliable provider

  • SiManM20 Simon Manning (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone else on @virginmedia getting that weekly thing when their internet collapses again on a Sunday night? I’ve asked them repeatedly and they deny it but it’s a weekly outage like clockwork #VMSundayOutage

  • levylass Moira McLoughlin 💙 (@levylass) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia seriously getting fed up with your service why do I have to sit on top of a box connected to TV to get any internet when working at home & office on 2nd floor ?? Rung 3 times same old guff pull the plug out 🤬🤬

  • 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 🖕

  • john_taxi ☺johnshere (@john_taxi) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia We spend over £150 per month...We need help with our Virgin mobile account...The guy in India doesn't seem to understand

  • GregBarnes2 (((Greg Barnes))) (@GregBarnes2) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia Once again my sim card isn’t working. Please don’t ask me to call the service centre, I’ve tried and haven’t got that long to live. Happy to email you details if you give me an address.

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOW awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • 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

  • SarahBeePhotos Sarah Bee Photography (@SarahBeePhotos) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Terrible as always, you cannot deliver in this area, you’ve promised for a few years now but nothing changes, I’ve had to put us on unlimited data on the phones as the WiFi is not fit for purpose, I am on the highest speed apparently… shocking

  • 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 😡

  • AlexxTheTiger Alexx 🏳️‍🌈 (@AlexxTheTiger) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia But that costumer service was abysmal, the person took ages to reply, and when it did, tried to sell me the same internet package I have for more than what I pay currently even...I don't want to have to upgrade my package to "fix" my internet, I just want the speeds I hired

  • chrissy__w Chrissie (@chrissy__w) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia when your marketing team ring you and tell you that you have internet issues, advised I didn’t have any issues and the rude call handler just hung up. Rang from 01484313420. Not the best reflection for the company is it.

  • Placebo_obecalP Paul🦉🇸🇪🦉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦉 (@Placebo_obecalP) reported

    @virginmedia That's awesome news for the other customer, but I have no chat.

  • PeteM1809 Peter (@PeteM1809) reported

    For the sake of your own sanity, avoid @virginmedia. They spend hours denying you have a fault, drive you up the wall with “security” before you can access your account, then return to denying there are any service issues. Absolute bollocks of a company

  • 3ns0n Enson (@3ns0n) reported

    @virginmedia I understand that it is difficult to help customers through a 3rd party but that doesn't excuse the fact that it took you guys almost 2 weeks to confirm a date with @UniHomes for a customer who's been paying for broadband since July

  • shineadrizen $hiÑ£ad⚒ (@shineadrizen) reported

    @virginmedia i’ve already been on the phone to them for hours this morning and they said nothing can be done without explanation. why does it take your customers 4 weeks to get an appointment, terrible service

  • SeldonMatt Matt Seldon (@SeldonMatt) reported

    @virginmedia I have the number of the guy who installed the new boxes, does this fault code look like an IT issue then ?

  • jyotidhillon jyoti dhillon (@jyotidhillon) reported

    @virginmedia Really useful @virginmedia for you to reply after service has resumed.

  • PeteM1809 Peter (@PeteM1809) reported

    @elstoleno @virginmedia I’m in Sunderland too. Been on and off all day. Get the same bollocks every time -“no issues in your area”. Just a pack of lies from start to finish😡😡😡😡

  • Jntst2022 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤬🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ (@Jntst2022) reported

    @virginmedia any idea when we’re likely to get service back in LL13? Website says 13:15 but it’s still not running. I have an 8000word assignment to write.

  • smiles67 sue miles (@smiles67) reported

    @virginmedia Never have I experienced such terrible service form you - what the hell is going on with your internet?? Down AGAIN and I work from home. Shocking. Just been on live chat for over 2.5 hours and had to give up in the end as no one there.

  • Rebecca17187294 Rebecca Preece (@Rebecca17187294) reported

    @virginmedia I'm so so tired after 3 days, I cannot go down yet another route, its pointless. I've had 6 phone calls, a webchat,this, I'm sure I won't get a call back from the complaints dept either. I can't deal with this anymore, I just wanted to speak to an engineer as promised on tuesday
