Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Whitley Bay, England

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    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

  • spleenal Nigel Auchterlounie (@spleenal) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hi @virginmedia i just had a call He said was from your technical department (We have been having quite a poor service from you over the last few months) He said he had to optimise the router & asked me to go to a site starting w3c Hung up because not a virginsite Was it you?

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 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

    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

  • 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

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia service down NE26 PANTS

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

    @virginmedia yet again my internet down.

  • 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

    @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

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Well it said no issues, but all my devices will not connect, rebooted router. Nothing..

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Dear @virginmedia, why is your WiFi so bloody awful? Another day of resetting, rebooting etc etc and it's still **** 😩

  • curlybish ♡SugarBaby♡ (@curlybish) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, just checked and it's now showing that the WiFi is down. Do you know when it will be fixed ? Both wired and wireless services are down

  • C0NKS Chris Connor (@C0NKS) reported

    @virginmedia That makes no sense. I called to cancel my subscription on contract end date, to be told I have to speak with the retention team who don’t accept that I want to leave and accept my 30 days notice?

  • IamDONAVE Don AVE 💙 (@IamDONAVE) reported

    @virginmedia what’s going on? I am unable to make phone calls for almost a week now. Can you help please?

  • lee_fence Leefence (@lee_fence) reported

    @virginmedia Hello is broadband service suffering in bracknell as ive been without it since last night and the helpdesk isnt being very helpful!!

  • MrWrightyy Calum Wright (@MrWrightyy) reported

    @virginmedia 4th time in matter of a month my wifi is down what am i even bothering with this service over £80 a month and it doesn’t work seriously i should leave

  • KatePinkSmith Kate Smith (@KatePinkSmith) reported

    .@virginmedia broadband is down AGAIN. Not sure I’ve been compensated for the last 7 hour outage! Absolute joke.

  • NAMF247 NickF (@NAMF247) reported

    @virginmedia Gathered that. Tying to talk to VM by phone is a painful experience that never achieves a thing and I have wasted over 4 hours of my life.

  • 3jakz__ jakz (@3jakz__) reported

    @virginmedia Horrible connection for a very long time now. I use Ethernet too, so it’s not a case of just the wireless connection being bad. I was at least expecting improvement given the rise in my monthly payment, but it seems like it’s gone worse!

  • MrWrightyy Calum Wright (@MrWrightyy) reported

    @virginmedia doesn’t say there’s a problem but my broadband isn’t working this is the 4th time in a month im seriously considering leaving because what’s the point in paying £80 a month for it to not work

  • MrWrightyy Calum Wright (@MrWrightyy) reported

    @virginmedia complete loss of service now it says now 4th time in a month
