Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Whitley Bay, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Whitley Bay and nearby locations:
-
Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England@OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.
-
Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia I have to wait 24hrs & call back not only is the red light an issue, the WiFi has now stopped working!
-
Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.
-
Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it
-
NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandTime for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.
-
David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England@virginmedia I know my line is spoofed, when an incoming call from a foreign country is giving out I’m not wrong number as I’m being spoofed I am technically aware of this I used to provide support for a very large telecommunications company
-
Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported from Mitford, England@virginmedia We’ve never received a reply and no out of office. My wife has sent a chase last night. Feel really let down by @virginmedia #LetDown #PoorCustomerExperience
-
Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England@markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...
-
LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England@virginmedia In October agreed new contract, came to install last week got new router and have since cancelled the packages that was agreed. I am now been charged more and getting less services. Tried to resolve last week over the phone & not no further forward so just want to cancel now.

-
Robby #CelebrateNeighbours (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

Nick Sloan (@sloany1976) reported@virginmedia Anyone available to help get me logged in? I have an account but wether on browser or on the app I keep getting the same issue
-
Sarah 😍💕 (@wiltshiregal) reported@virginmedia why is it so hard to speak to anyone. Received a new hub on Saturday, I've received an email to say old one stops working after 5 days!!! I can't get it fitted that quickly. Please help
-
Cyberbob1uk (@cyberbob1uk) reported@virginmedia what kind of tin-pot internet service are you providing? Broadband outages for multiple hours on April 4th, April 6th and now today, April 12th
-
Waggy Mama (@WaggyMama) reported@footballontnt is there an issue with streaming of Porto v NFFC? Quality on Virgin TV is awful @virginmedia
-
Stewart Neilson ⚒ 🇬🇧 (@HaveringHammer) reportedI’ve just been given Netflix ( I know I’m late to getting it ) by VirginMedia. The first show I’ve started watching is Breaking Bad ( I know I’m late to watching that too ) My question is should I stick with it as I’m 3 shows in and not sure what all the fuss was about yet?
-
concerned person (@nkgms) reportedIs there a problem with Virgin Media tv in the Bushey, Hertford area?
-
Rep74NL (@JohnnyRep74) reported@virginmedia your Webchat is awful , got an email regarding upgrading to 360 . Directed to webchat , 35 minutes later still trying to sort out what is an easy request . Your agent takes 10 minutes between each response to answer . I’m not bothering now
-
Phil (@philbreadin) reported@virginmedia how come my bill has jumped from £55 to £72 mid contract? I understand it's April and a small price increase is expected but £17 is taking the mick. With the issues I've had lately @skytv is looking more tempting.
-
GlenEagle. Better society now for disabled. (@BurnheadMax) reported@virginmedia The fact you've taken money when you shouldn't have and then wonder why your bill wasn't paid is called 'basic business'. If you compound your error by not allowing people to sign in, chances of resolution diminish. It's not rocket science.
-
Daniel Dufton (@dandufton) reported@virginmedia My VM account has been locked out 'for security reasons' for over three weeks. I called the number given and was told it has been escalated to the techteam. Now three weeks on and I've heard nothing. Trying to chase on the phone but been on hold 25 mins. Help!
