Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Manchester and nearby locations:
-
GLENN (@gbmcfc) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Well you find I'm cancelling my contract with yourselves, hope you go bust, your customer service team is a shambolic embarrasment. Loyalty works both ways.
-
Martyn The Driver (@martyn_driver) reported from Rochdale, England@virginmedia after 26 years as a loyal cable customer it is time to say goodbye. It would seem that loyalty is not rewarded, and you don't want low use customers
-
Gamepopper (@gamepopper) reported from Salford, England@virginmedia Oh, my bad. Apparently the wiring outside my house has a fault, someone did come last Monday to work on it,and someone was supposed to work on it for Thursday, but it keeps being pushed back (order ref 55230469).
-
Billy Goater (@GoaterBilly) reported from Strines, England@virginmedia well done, after over 10 years with you, Virgin Media have sunk to the their lowest level of service and support ever. Roll on November and the end of my contract. Appalling, ignorant, clueless, almost as bad as BT.
-
Adam🍺 (@MCR_ADM) reported from Stockport, England@virginmedia No they’re helping. But it’s VERYYYY slow. But almost there.
-
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 "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.
-
Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, EnglandTell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?
-
JJ (@johnjoeoregan) reported from Manchester, England@stetopping Remember you did the piece late last year about Virgin Media Broadband being out for a day? It's now been down for six days in some parts of Manchester. Six full days and not a word from the company except automated messages.
-
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!)
-
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
-
Weirdly even older fan (@Karamonkey1) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia And the sum total of welcome texts I received during my 7 night stay in Jamaica was 189. I never moved from the same hotel. I often got 4-8 texts whilst sat at the same restaurant table or in my room. @virginmedia get your act together
-
Ducky 🇺🇦 🎃 👻 (@duckyblog) reported from Tyldesley, England@virginmedia Issues with all VM services in my area says expected fix by 4:40pm today.
-
яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported from Oldham, England@virginmedia No point, there is a problem but it shows there aren't any issues in the area.
-
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?
-
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
-
CLAIRE GROVER 🐝 (@ClaireabelleRed) reported from Bury, England@virginmedia Thanks for updating I've had my 82 year old dad on the phone as he only has the main tv channels so I guess its the same issue as the pixalation issues. I'll let him know
-
Martin Moscrop 🎺 (@martinmoscrop) reported from Salford, England@LennieThevan @virginmedia That sounds terrible Lennie. If you want to change a plan and save money they go out of their way to be unhelpful. However, if you want to spend more their customers service Is better.
-
Adam🍺 (@MCR_ADM) reported from Stockport, EnglandBeen on a live chat to Virgin Media since 9:30. WFH joys. Not much work has been done. But got my bill down. #CozzieLivs.
-
Phoebe (@TTPhoebe) reported from Manchester, EnglandAnyone available at @virginmedia please? Your website is shocking for trying to get in touch with customer services / live chat. Thanks
-
Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

Ade Luxton (@adelux68) reported@virginmedia I hope you don’t charge full price next month as you can’t provide red button service today
-
RyanCartier (@RyanCartiers) reported@virginmedia No, that has resolved nothing. A fundamental change to actually learning to provide timely customer service is required. 6 min. to schedule a call back 20 min. later - approx. 30min lead time Pick up phone and resolve issue <5 minutes. who needs math class?
-
emma_tr4_rhinos🦏🇬🇧 (@emma_tr4_rhinos) reported@virginmedia @kathleenp442 Not everyone as apps they pay for skysports on TV expect it to work thts two days in a row when is the expected fix

oldman (@gyoldsingleman) reported@kathleenp442 @virginmedia A technician came out to me a week ago, hadn't a clue what to do, problem still exists @virginmedia no compensation on my bill !

Utugg Umwer (@UtuggUmwere43v) reportedTired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8K_Best_IPTV50 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies
-
Olive (@nongnangning1) reported@IainSankey @virginmedia I never pay more than £23 for my Virgin internet. Whenever my "special offer" runs out and they want to increase my bill, I just tell them i'll leave then and they relent...
-
alex jones (@alex___jones) reported@virginmedia I can’t sign in as my email address has changed. No one at Virgin can be bothered to help. Complained numerous times. Shocking company
-
Kathleen Peters (@kathleenp442) reported@virginmedia I've tried to watch it on my phone via the sky sports app and that didn't work either. Feeling disgruntled. You've managed to send a recent update to our virgin box but can't fix this!
