Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Whitley Bay, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Whitley Bay and nearby locations:

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia is broadband services down. My internet has been intermittent for the last week. Reset router 3 times today and still not working properly. Download speed is 1mb. Usually 380 mb

  • YummyMummyMo Trish (@YummyMummyMo) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @kidneydoc101 @virginmedia @virginmedia reply to your customer, and sort out the problem. It's not difficult.

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia It says there’s no issues in my area. So why does my internet keep going off. If it works it’s very rarely high or if it is it’s only for a short time. Then goes off and gives low readings. I’ve reset it and unplugged it from mains etc and still it’s on and off. Annoying

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia So I expected a call today before 12pm from business team I also logged a call back on the website for one of the team to call me before 12pm. Engineer on Friday said someone would call in the morning it’s now just gone after 12 and I am still waiting? This is poor?!

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    Please be aware everyone when you get a inbox from virgin media. I got one yesterday asking about my account and asking me to send my card details and card holder name and security number to verify the account. It wasn’t virgin media but a scam. Because my internet was down. Scum

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia I called and the service I received was unbelievably poor. My first experience as a Virgin customer. Considering cancellation now.

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I will call, again and again. Would be nice if you called me tbh. I’ll escalate or just cancel and go to another provider

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia No. A problem with order of some description.

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @Barrymore_Jones @virginmedia Mine has been ok until about 2 weeks ago mate and now it keeps turning itself off for no reason. And then I get slow speeds. Usually in the 300,s mate

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Sort my order out please.Due on Monday, not delivered.6 calls Tuesday & Wednesday,told it would be here today, yet Yodel tracking shows they haven’t got it from you.1st week as a @virginmedia customer 😡. Worst of all handlers have made me feel like it’s my problem #woefulservice

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Should that not be your job to check and then tell me the answer. You havnt really solved the problem by telling me to check my area. You should know if there’s any problems where ever they may be

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the problem I think. Or maybe until the next time it goes off. I’ve disconnected coax cable etc and blew them clean and tightened them back up and done a speed test and it’s up to 365mb download speed. Hopefully this has fixed problem

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    Ha ha @virginmedia it’s gone off again. This is twice since dinner time where it’s just randomly turned itself off. #annoying and yes it’s saying there’s nothing wrong with the service in my area. So why does it turn itself off ffs

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia yet again my internet down.

  • SandyMcWatson Sandy 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺🌍☮️ (@SandyMcWatson) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Yes. There is a known issue in my area but no "explanation". It's states the fix estimate is 3pm. That's almost a whole day's salary.

  • KirstyRockett Kirsty Rockett (@KirstyRockett) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia my 80 year old mother is in ill health, in June I helped her online cancel paper bills, since this time we have done this another 2 times,Mam has tried to call no answer after 45 on hold,Ive just tried to email with the address on rear of bill, it doesn’t work.

  • rayspencermbe Ray Spencer MBE (@rayspencermbe) reported from South Shields, England

    Stay Healthy Stay Safe -final message from @virginmedia text service. It should read stay patient stay calm. Hopeless service and very slow!! I never thought I say I’d rather just wait on hold for the operator

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia So now moved to @vmbusinesshelp line instead of residential activated yesterday and new router installed with no problems. Tonight 7.19pm internet goes down? 7.45m internet goes down? I am paying significantly more and receiving the same poor line?!?!?

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I know that but we are paying for the fastest speed and when it eventually works we don’t get nowhere near that speed. Considering how many times I have to reset the router we don’t get a full service. Just wanted it sorting out

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Waiting for delivery of hub equipment to start using internet.Due Monday & it’s still not here. 1st week as a Virgin customer. Made 6 calls bounced from person to person,made to feel like it’s my fault! Spoken to Yodel & tracking details show they haven’t received it from Virgin

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • schum4nn schum4nn (@schum4nn) reported

    @virginmedia No, I don't have any aerial/cable options for the second box which I mentioned twice on the call before agreeing to the contract and in both cases your sales team advised that that won't be a problem as only wifi is required. I would have never agreed to this package otherwise.

  • ConnorNUFC_ 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙧🏁🇸🇦 (@ConnorNUFC_) reported

    @virginmedia @NUFCPreston John what footy team do you support 😎

  • gillholmes79 gill (@gillholmes79) reported

    @virginmedia on the phone tonight for 1hr 30 minutes to sort an engineer. Spoke to someone eventually then at 8:20pm, he put me on hold and a message came up saying please call back tomorrow. I will be calling back to cancel my contact unless someone contacts me.terrible service.

  • Jamie3037 Jamie (@Jamie3037) reported

    @virginmedia You bang on about no price increase last year due to the pandemic, yet you choose to increase prices this year. The pandemic is still going on. Don’t see @SkyUK increasing prices plus they allow existing customers to benefit from new customer offers

  • NUFCPreston preston. (@NUFCPreston) reported

    @virginmedia it’s been pretty bad but it would all be ok if i got a follow back. :)

  • sooozie1985 sooozie1985 (@sooozie1985) reported

    @virginmedia my mate Sean’s raging cos he’s been trying n hold for over an hour, broadbands gone to **** end he’s havin kittens....33 year old man and can’t game his best made Jody on PS4 ......please help

  • kapowaz Ben Darlow (@kapowaz) reported

    Virgin Media is just such garbage. Nearly 2 months of terrible speeds and connection drops. Engineer visited and claimed there was an acknowledged area fault (which of course the service status page doesn't show). They're gone as soon as there's a viable alternative.

  • craigcoeyo Craig Coe (@craigcoeyo) reported

    @davidschneider @virginmedia Snap! 3 days in a row I’ve tried. My TiVo box isn’t working because it has seemingly been deactivated, only had it 3 months. Isn’t it great paying for a service you aren’t getting?

  • Jamie3037 Jamie (@Jamie3037) reported

    @virginmedia And when trying to talk to your team on live chat you can never seem to talk to anyone after hours and days of trying, yet select new customer and you get an immediate answer.

  • glennmason Dr Glenn Mason (@glennmason) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi issues for many weeks. Numerous attempts to get support via online chat with no response. Called tonight and cut off after waiting over an hour to speak with someone. Connection is vital for me to facilitate therapy sessions. Disappointing customer service.
