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

  • johncoxonmedia John E. Coxon (@johncoxonmedia) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Have reported to you here that independent engineer confirmed my connection is OK but hub 3 is faulty & needs replacing. You advised phone 150 again to book engineer. Your system does not enable that just offers fault trouble shoot txt message.

  • MJ_Humphries Martin Humphries (@MJ_Humphries) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia But you will appreciate that I have zero confidence that you will resolve the issue as a web chat is no different to the numerous other phone calls we have made.

  • mrsparto claire partington (@mrsparto) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Done this already, and did it last time. Was still without for hours! Apparently next update is 17:00 for today's area outage. Happening far too often this.

  • MJ_Humphries Martin Humphries (@MJ_Humphries) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia No thanks. Why is it so difficult for customer service to make a promised call?

  • mrsparto claire partington (@mrsparto) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia No internet TV or phone again for the 3rd time this week!!! Can't speak to an actual person @virginmedia Shockingly bad service!!!

  • MJ_Humphries Martin Humphries (@MJ_Humphries) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia I understand you can't take a request. Can you pass this on to customer service, and to someone with the authority to issue cheques?

  • missdepotts Danielle (@missdepotts) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    And even better - my ping is higher than mount Everest & and the lag is throwing me back to 2008! But apparently there’s nothing wrong… well why would i waste my time ringing if there isnt a problem? @virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia cannot believe that my internet is down again, been down since early this morning. 2nd time in 3 days. Laying out a lot of money for mega fast broadband that has nothing but issues!

  • MJ_Humphries Martin Humphries (@MJ_Humphries) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia No, there's nothing to discuss. You have broken your terms and conditions by not sending the money you owe. Just send the cheques.

  • brownhill76 Neil Brownhill (@brownhill76) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia can you get someone to contact me as your customer service phone line has now hung up on me after over an hour because they couldn’t be bothered to help or fix my issue #virginmedia #customerexperience

  • suzyk2002 Eileen Roberts (@suzyk2002) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia I pity the poor engineers who have to sort that mess out 😢

  • MJ_Humphries Martin Humphries (@MJ_Humphries) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia Numerous times, and they are simply obstructive and unwilling to sort the problem. I'm appalled by the service quality.

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

    @virginmedia Does your customer service normally phoning at this time after 8pm from 08000521251?? Asking to verify my account??

  • MJ_Humphries Martin Humphries (@MJ_Humphries) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia I'm not typing out everything, having repeated myself for the last four months. See a/c 594717402 (area ref 20) for details. Customer service promised to call 30 mins after our latest conversation today. No call, 7 hours and counting. Just send the cheques!

  • eccygem Gem (@eccygem) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue in Radcliffe??? WiFi is down and it keeps saying incorrect password 😩

  • iamnickjh Nick (@iamnickjh) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Your complaints department are incredibly unhelpful and just send auto responses. It's impossible to speak to a manager and your staff are obstructive and rude

  • AndyT___ Andy Thompson (@AndyT___) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Your extremely bad service. Who can I speak to please? I was on to your customer service team fro 2 hours yesterday and no one seems to know what they’re doing. Someone was supposed to call me back at 10am this morning but that’s not happened either. Whole thing is a car crash.

  • andy4321 Andy Collier (@andy4321) reported from Stockport, England

    I'd never switch broadband to @virginmedia after hearing about their unfair charges on @joelycett #virginmedia

    @virginmedia morning, I have tried to call following notice of a price increase, can I cancel my account here please?

  • kamisfortune Melric ✿ Love Rowan & Villy 2020 (@kamisfortune) reported

    @virginmedia Been without internet for over a week now. We got an engineer out yesterday, who first said we would have to wait 1-2 weeks for the council to fix it, then said an engineer would be sent out yesterday between 1 and 6 - nobody showed up. I shouldn't be paying for a month of no net

  • PoweredByPepsi Ann-Marie Leach (@PoweredByPepsi) reported

    @virginmedia #virginmedia why has the internet and TV service been on and off like a newlywed's nightie since yesterday afternoon? trying to work for a critical service here!

  • ljglackin Luke Glackin (@ljglackin) reported

    @VirginMediaIE @virginmedia broadband down in Dublin 7 since 7:30am. Is there an outage?

  • BenjFrazer Ben Frazer (@BenjFrazer) reported

    @virginmedia over 60minutes and three hang ups later. I am doing as you said “call” and I’d be better standing outside and shouting. I have logged an @Ofcom complaint and emailed Tom your CEO. #dontusevirginmedia any other customers experienced the “cut you off” tactic?

  • Lppink1 Frank Martin (@Lppink1) reported

    @virginmedia Internet Outage in BR7 area web service check on VM shows no issue. Local WA groups alive with outage across area.

    @virginmedia Would you therefore please cancel my contract- I can’t get through to your call centre- hence my resorting to Twitter

  • BentexTv John Spandli (@BentexTv) reported

    @AuditsAbsolute @virginmedia Best thing I ever did is get rid of them.Had zero problems since I went unlimited with 3.

  • rachlfletcher Rachel (@rachlfletcher) reported

    Virgin Media customer service atrocious - my husband has spent the best part of the last two days on the phone trying to resolve an issue that we’d already discussed with them months ago when we cancelled our contract - they’ve disconnected him four times!!! @virginmedia

  • marki3756 Mark Ingram (@marki3756) reported

    @virginmedia can I get some help please. I spent around 45 mins on the phone to someone and was told I would receive an email about changing my contract that I'm no longer in. This was 5 days ago and still no email
