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

  • lambtiger Jamie McDonald (@lambtiger) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    Truly appalling customer service from @virginmedia. Due an engineer visit today: he’s just rung to say your call centre raised the job incorrectly and he’s not coming as they don’t carry the stock any more. No apology, no lifeline, no empathy. Shocking.

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Another issue is if I were to get a phone call in a weeks time I cannot just stop the job I do to answer it. Where will we be then? Having worked for Virgin I know exactly what’s going to happen. This won’t get sorted until my new bill gets paid for services I don’t want ....

  • guy140771 The Real Guy Gardner FBPE (@guy140771) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. Your @virginmedia text bot clearly stated your aim for a human to ring me back within 4 hours - it’s now over 120 hours. May I suggest you update your message, also can you confirm I’ll receive the promised phone call or should I cancel my subscription?

  • HumpsSnr Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia I don’t. When I submitted the complaint (2nd) I chose the telephone call option, using my home number. I haven’t received any call to date!!

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Bet you anything they won’t I’m sorry to say. Never known a change in contract to take a week. Normally done there and then on the phone. The lady didn’t mention anything about this being the case. What now? I’m not waiting a week I’m afraid.

  • bizzarebird BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No i can't see it, scan says no issues as the issue is only with WiFi. It's down again its insane. Doing full reset to factory setting see if that helps. But no link to report fault on my account

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia we have been trying to arrange our virgin services to be moved to our new house since 23/11/20. We were supposed to get a call back from one of your guys yesterday to help with a self install - no joy. Since yesterday I’ve spent over 3 hours on hold, been.......1/4

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia The hold times aren’t the issue. I’d wait happily if I got an answer at the end. The issue is being hung up on after an hour then having a call answered only to have to listen to dead air for over 30 minutes while whoever is supposed to be helping has forgotten to logout ....1/2

  • JiriKPinnock J K P (@JiriKPinnock) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Trying to get some help, on the phone over 30mins. My new bill was overcharged, pls fix it ASAP.

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    Hey @virginmedia On the phone to your customer service for 80 minutes in total now and counting. Been put on hold for 30 minutes of that. Losing will to live! Pound to a penny you lot cut me off in a minute......

  • HumpsSnr Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    Over 3 hours and counting on the phone to @virginmedia , spoken to 5 different people and put on hold for the 6th time now. Issue yet to be resolved 🤬🤬🤬 #vpoorcustomerservice #timeforachange

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia ....before going to lunch. Your system is set to terminate unanswered calls after just over an hour. This is much more enraging than having to wait in a queue. We’re British, it’s what we do. We DO NOT HANG UP on people. It is beyond rude. #rude #virginmediasuck #stillnointernet

  • bizzarebird BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia what's the best way to report a fault without having to go to offshore fault peeps and go through off the turn off switch on again? My WiFi is horrific, and only affects WiFi intermittent service and it disables. Done all the usuals it's knackered WiFi on router.

  • m_stephens8 macauley stephens (@m_stephens8) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is the worst for speaking to an actually person🤯 adding packages unauthorised then making the bill nearly double.. jokers

  • HumpsSnr Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia What details do you require in any text I send?? Seems a bit odd considering you should already have my complaint and my details 🤔 we’ve established I don’t have a ref number, so further info will assist??

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    @nickleeland @virginmedia I asked to speak to someone that could help and got “my supervisor is on 14 day isolation”. Ok put him on the phone as I’m guessing he can work from home? Computer says no! Poor poor service!

  • Mug_UK Mike Mee #FBPE (@Mug_UK) reported from Stockport, England

    @PThexton @virginmedia They closed down the Stockport branch too. Maybe there's a "why do I have to pay for a phone line" page within their FAQs ...

  • HumpsSnr Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your response. I have submitted a complaint, although I’ve no response to that either. Our internet is shocking and we’ve got a temp fix outside which needs to be made permanent from 4 wks ago. Paying a lot for nothing currently

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    Great work from @virginmedia, your contract has expired, we want you to stay as a customer, we’ll give you the best deal out there! Give them a call, sorry can’t help, you’re on the best package, but we want to charge you £40 a month more than a new customer! #shitshow

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia It’s NOT an upgrade which I made clear on the phone. Again, no mention of this being the issue.

    @virginmedia Well I hope when I call again someone can actually help lol was given the same advise last time nothing happened

  • IsmailAbid Ismail Abid (@IsmailAbid) reported

    Imagine paying for a service that doesn’t work and then to be told by a “Senior Technical Engineer” @virginmedia “bugger off you motherfu**er”. Excellent work on training your employees on customer service. Oh, and they don’t have a complaints department? 🥴 @Ofcom

  • snappy131313 John Williams (@snappy131313) reported

    @virginmedia Tried phoning 2 days ago, 20 mins in a q then I hung up. Look @ your forums, there are loads of people with the same issue.

  • AndreaRice54 Andi- vote for anyone BUT your current MP (@AndreaRice54) reported

    Does anyone know how to report a fault with @virginmedia ? I’ve called 150 got recorded messages taken round in circles never actually got to speak to anyone and I’m still off-line with the modem that don’t work

  • Dcxtweet1 Dcxtweet (@Dcxtweet1) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I requested downgrade from m200 (volt) back to m100 as volt benefit never activated. Spoke to somebody Thursday who said change would be made. I need confirmation that you’re putting back to old m100 contract asap

  • chasheehan Chris Sheehan (@chasheehan) reported

    @JamesBurtt @virginmedia I’ve been with them 16 or so years and they keep cold calling me to say I’ve been a customer for 2 years, then taking up 15 minutes of my time when I’m working to convince me to increase my bill by 50% despite me saying at the start of the call I won’t be taking on more cost.

  • ginzeh ginzeh (@ginzeh) reported

    @silvercry @O2 @virginmedia In having an issue and both are in my name, endless circle of I'm a customer, join virgin, go on my o2, done it all and just the same thing 😭

  • SocTheOracle Shaun Chaffer (@SocTheOracle) reported

    @virginmedia Because your 3rd party company didn't install the service for the engineer but instead of phoning up to advise this they let the engineer turn up to tell me that he cant do it despite having to take a day off work for this. Then the best install they offered is the 23/12 when we

  • xXmissamylouXx Amy stevenson (@xXmissamylouXx) reported

    @virginmedia There is absolutely no point in calling! Either nobody can help and they’re not sure what’s happening and someone is going to call me back which they never do, or I get hung up on?? I will be cancelling my direct debit. I have never known such incompetence in my life!

  • georgie_scott22 Georgie Scott (@georgie_scott22) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia We need to submit a complaint re. no internet via an online form? So I have to continue to incur additional data charges on my mobile phone because your call centre staff hang up when we ask to make a complaint. This is beyond ridiculous/ frustrating @MoneyTelegraph
