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

  • 1slandmonkey Benjamin Spurling (@1slandmonkey) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia There are no issues in the region apart from your appalling service.

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

  • martin_avery Martin Avery (@martin_avery) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia are you having problems with your broadband connections in the NE15 area ?, it’s been rubbish over the last few days

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia broadband constantly disconnects, contacting you via phone is a total waste of time. How do I get this issue sorted?

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can reply since your customer service department have just hung up after waiting an hour to get through. So sick of your terrible customer service hence why i want to leave. #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice #cancellation

  • iYogaBody Tatiana M Newton (@iYogaBody) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia it’s simply Disgraceful! As @gmail email user I CAN NOT logging into my own account to check my bill- is it even legal?? After 1 hour of ohone convo with @virginmedia agent my problem is not solved and I’m back in the loop 🔁

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @panzerfaust81 Any chance we can cancel as your customer service team hang up after waiting an hour on hold? Sick of your dreadful service. Please contact me as this is a joke. Need to leave due to moving home and you make it even harder @Ofcom

  • beyond_vinyl BEYOND VINYL (@beyond_vinyl) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia my phone and broadband is down (#NewcastleUponTyne city centre) we are in a pandemic and I have nothing else to do so need internet!! Any idea when service will be restored??

  • Jacq_Critch Jacqueline Critchley (@Jacq_Critch) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

  • paulm844 Paul Marshall (@paulm844) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    WHEN MY @virginmedia CONTRACT IS UP IM OFF TO SKY. Enough of this ****.

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

  • ITINTERACT2 Rob Turnbull (@ITINTERACT2) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia What an absolute shower of **** your customer services are, goodbye don’t contact me again!

  • HebburnCurly Mark Wilson (@HebburnCurly) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hi, can I add a telephone line to the broadband package that I already have? Looked on your webpage and it’s all bundles with no option to add anything to the service I already purchase

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia your WiFi and service is a disgrace. Constant outage, hopeless WiFi range, unreachable "support". And now you're putting my bill up? Utter joke.

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Cramlington, England

    @virginmedia why can’t I get through on the phone to cancel my broadband ? I’ve also been in the queue for hours in online Chat, ridiculous customer service

  • chrismayes .💙#FBPPR #FBPE You have no authority here johnson (@chrismayes) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hey @virginmedia #DontFundGBNews or i terminate my contract with you.

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

  • Bensleys Bensleys T.M.Co.Ltd (@Bensleys) reported

    @virginmedia Good evening it’s a business account so obviously frustrating, landlines both are down incoming one line outgoing only.

  • _jojames1 Jo James (@_jojames1) reported

    @virginmedia what a bunch of crooks having been pestered for months to upgrade to new V6 box and promised HD in sports now being told will need to pay extra for this service ontop of increased monthly premium years of loyalty count for nothing #ripoff #dishonest

  • DonellaHignett Donella Hignett (@DonellaHignett) reported

    @virginmedia It’s already been reported, so an issue has already been raised. It seems loads of your customers are having the same issue! If it’s not fixed asap then I’ll be expecting a £10.99 refund each month on my bill and I’ll pay for Netflix myself.

  • mickyjayuk MJ (@mickyjayuk) reported

    Ffs @virginmedia, you have the absolute worst ******* customer service. The technical support is terrible, the call centre people know nothing, and No I don't want to talk by ******* Text!

  • Anniemole Annie Mole (@Anniemole) reported

    Also why @virginmedia was I told initially I wouldn't even need to at home as you would be fixing the cable in the road (although you never turned up to fix it) do I now have to be at home for you to fix it? Why are you not consistent with what you tell your customers?

  • x_mass x_mass (@x_mass) reported

    @virginmedia As I said don't have a pots hard line but checking the virgin media status page was the first thing I did, followed by up & down status page

  • Anniemole Annie Mole (@Anniemole) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the link to the compensation policy @virginmedia (which I already had put in my first tweet) Now why can't I get consistent answers from your customer services staff above arrival times (or not) of your engineers?

  • Blue_McKenna MCFC McKenna (@Blue_McKenna) reported

    @virginmedia When you call the number back, it just says the virgin media sales team tried to call and they'll be in contact again. Then the call ends. If the service us now up and running I don't mind them calling. I just don't like how the call ends the instant the phone is answered.

  • gazjenkins83 Gareth (@gazjenkins83) reported

    @virginmedia no internet!!! WiFi down telly box not working! Football needs to be watched! Get a grip!

  • watchoutjoan Joan (@watchoutjoan) reported

    @virginmedia To be honest the virgin media package has been substandard for sometime. Loss of connection and poor customer service so it was time to move on anyway
