Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Manchester, England

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

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

    @virginmedia Beyond belief since the link provided doesn’t work. I’m sorry but @virginmedia is a failing company with poor technology. I could never recommend them to anyone, Hub 4 failed again today, so unreliable it’s a joke

  • 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.

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

    @harrisonmp They wrote to me about my complaint saying they’d been trying to contact me, they haven’t unless they’re still using the wrong mobile number which I’ve informed them about. We’ll ignore the fact that my landline is with them. I just wish someone @virginmedia would take ownership

  • tonyj01 Tony Jacobs (@tonyj01) reported from Manchester, England

    @DawnBly68 @MartinSLewis @virginmedia They make more money with their present commercial stance - loyalty is NOT valued, the new customer is king. So become a new customer.

  • 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 ...

  • 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.

  • 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

    So @virginmedia it’s now 48 hours I’ve been waiting in this queue for a call back. I’d appreciate a response before I cancel my package!

  • 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

  • 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

  • johnslater613 john slater (@johnslater613) reported from Manchester, England

  • longsightjimmy Jimmy McLaughlin (@longsightjimmy) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia internet was down in Heaton Norris this morning #SK4 but back again now #FYI

  • 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?

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia are a bag of ******* shite. Mis-sold me broadband and then then told me I was lying ahaha. It’s on recording ***, go **** yourselves you bunch of *********

  • 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

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

  • TracyDewhurst Tracy Dewhurst (@TracyDewhurst) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Can anyone tell me the best way to get in touch with virgin media to resolve a billing issue. Phoned them on several occasions and still no resolution.

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

    @virginmedia what a rubbish service they now provide, new Hub 4 supposed to be technically advanced always crashing, hopeless service, do not subscribe join me #leavevirginmedia media

  • 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

  • OneLoves_Butera Sumaiyah 🦋✨ (@OneLoves_Butera) reported

    @virginmedia It was promised they’d call this morning. I personally give them my own mobile number as my grandad is too upset to speak. It’s a shocking service!

  • tobes_cooper T (@tobes_cooper) reported

    Hi @virginmedia are you reporting any problems in the SE5 7 area? I checked the status online and it looks fine but no wifi for an hour now. Also tried reconnecting the hub and that seems fine too. Please advise. This is third time this has happened in recent weeks.

  • JFX2019 JFX (@JFX2019) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service line is seriously poor, not understanding what I’m saying at all. Can someone please message me I need to resolve an issue ASAP

  • sarah_jmurray Sarah Murray (@sarah_jmurray) reported

    @virginmedia Yes he has phoned O2 and cancelled but it got him in a panic. He should never have been sent it as that’s not what he was phoning about!

  • jkerrlfc Jack (@jkerrlfc) reported

    @virginmedia The connection is really poor, I’ve been having the issue for a few days now but it’s peaked as of now, it keeps dropping every minute and nothing is loading.

  • EdwardHarkins Edward Harkins (@EdwardHarkins) reported

    Hilarious? @virginmedia chatbox 'Toni Triage Bot' endlessly repeats 'Sorry that didn't match the format I need'... no matter which way, how many times, you try to vary the question & point out you cannot use that format. #fail
