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

  • sharper76 Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia In the orders and appointments section it says there are none. The text I have received confirming the appointment and threatening me with a £25 fine is different to the one offered to me by your customer services.

  • mark001282 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.

  • nathantalbot Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Urmston, England

    (Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in B9?

  • johnsonhomes2 johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Her phone like works at the moment because she has power but not in a power cut. This is one of the issues set out in the email which VM requested I send on Wednesday

  • nathantalbot Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Urmston, England

    (Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in M6?

  • MCR_ADM Adam🍺 (@MCR_ADM) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia No they’re helping. But it’s VERYYYY slow. But almost there.

  • Slt4K SLT4K 👨🏻‍💻 🇬🇧 (@Slt4K) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia / Super disappointed after calling to renew my contract and as an existing customer you can’t offer anything half as good as a new customer. Shocking customer retention strategy 🤯

  • mark001282 Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    Every time speak to @virginmedia @Virgin customer service I die a little bit inside #emogirl

  • nathantalbot Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Salford, England

    Is anyone experiencing a Virgin Media outage in M6 currently? Fibre Broadband is struggling to connect

  • mark001282 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.

  • mark001282 Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Don't give me your copy and pasted waffle. You have done nothing to help. You have been an absolute thorn in my side! "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.

  • PaulRegent1 Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

  • mark001282 Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia As I say. I don't like publicly shaming a company that was once good. But your customer service is an absolute disgrace

  • EdwinDa18453545 Edwin Daniel (@EdwinDa18453545) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @VirginMediaCC unethical practice & worst cust serv.after 50 days of total loss of service and no resolution and taking 52 pounds for that period from me now they are denying compensation as well as refund of monies taken.

  • johnsonhomes2 johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia The guy I spoke to at VM yesterday said that she wouldn’t be eligible for a “disabled” phone line to be installed because it wasn’t claimed when they dug the front garden up 18 months ago. We were never given this as an option at the time, if we had we would have insisted on it.

  • MCR_ADM Adam🍺 (@MCR_ADM) reported from Stockport, England

    Been on a live chat to Virgin Media since 9:30. WFH joys. Not much work has been done. But got my bill down. #CozzieLivs.

  • anttaylor23 Anthony Taylor (@anttaylor23) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia The what's app line is fine, your advisers don't seem like they want to keep me as a customer. Well not for a decent price anyway 👀

  • mark001282 Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I've been a customer for 10 years. Is this how your treat your loyal customers?

  • johnsonhomes2 johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia If that was the only issue than yes that would be the logical next step. But as you’ll see from the previous tweets and email sent on Wednesday it isn’t. All the issues need dealing with in the round or otherwise I’ll have to cancel and go back to sky.

  • roslers_vest 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

  • emmalunn Emma Lunn (@emmalunn) reported

    @virginmedia So it's a wider problem? That would explain the long call wait. Total ****-up as usual.

  • AndrewF20082151 Andrew French (@AndrewF20082151) reported

    @virginmedia @RobOrchard Same issue here. Methinks @virginmedia have made a ***** up.

  • ross_k Ross K (@ross_k) reported

    @virginmedia you've sent me an email saying I've only part paid my bill. It's a direct debit, you decide how much to take from my account, not me. I don't have time to spend hours on the phone trying to fix your mistakes, and your "Contact Us" link in your emails go to a 404 page

  • timetraveller_x Mo Jiwa (@timetraveller_x) reported

    @virginmedia @Marnis1971 Got the same problem... except my account ALSO shows the bill wasn't paid - what's going on?

  • ClarkeTheSpark Nathan Clarke (@ClarkeTheSpark) reported

    @virginmedia @MartinSnelling_ I have the exact same issue and it’s impossible to speak to a human being

  • timetraveller_x Mo Jiwa (@timetraveller_x) reported

    Major issues today with @virginmedia billing anyone? My direct debit came out on time, but I got an email today saying my bill was overdue and I cannot get hold of customer support in any way at all!?!? What is going on?

  • timetraveller_x Mo Jiwa (@timetraveller_x) reported

    @virginmedia 100% been taken over a week ago. I see other people complaining about this, so it's definitely not an issue my end. If it's affecting random people across the country, it's unlikely to be a customer issue.

  • Agentsener Halil Sener (@Agentsener) reported

    @virginmedia diabolical service by you guys. 4 different calls to you, 4 different contract amounts offered! First time you increased 100%. I have tried to complain and you completely denied me the opportunity to complain! @financialombuds @CISASUK

  • ChrisWalter89 Chris Walter / ItsTheClangers (@ChrisWalter89) reported

    @emmab287 @virginmedia I phoned them up because I had the same thing, it's either a scam or a technical fault and they're trying to work out which. If your statements are adding up there's no problem.

  • RochieS7 S (@RochieS7) reported

    @virginmedia Yep, says there is an ongoing issue a technician is in your area that was Friday and still says the same today
