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

  • CazzaW CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Cancelled @virginmedia Starplayz subscription as they have no channel number and no app to search for programmes! Crazy and call centre staff don’t understand why this is a problem. Don’t waste £5 a month.

  • TheToon1892 ⓃⓊⒻⒸ ①⑧⑨② (@TheToon1892) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia @VasBlackwood It could be your staff need training in how to offer professional customer service.... Most haven't got a clue

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @RevDubbleD @virginmedia Absolutely appalling service today. The attitude of the people I dealt with was staggering for a customer centric organisation.

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @lisadunn1978 @virginmedia I have just had hell on and demanded to speak to a manager. At first I was told there was no issue in our area and it was the router then the manager has told me that there is a problem in our area

  • d_n_g_x 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆🐸 (@d_n_g_x) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It was @Stacey_MW_WL with the problem

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia There seems to be a network problem. The box had a green light flashing. Our phones & iPads are connect but the sky boxes don’t seem to be. Can I DM you please

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Tomorrow. This has been going on for over two weeks intermittent but the way I was treated was not the way to treat a loyal customer

  • amymccordx Amy McCord (@amymccordx) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I was speaking with an agent an hour ago due to an issues with WiFi. They said they’d 100% ring me back in 30 mins as we did a hard reset of the booster. It’s been another 30 mins since then and no one has called. #notmyday

  • ThomasMcGowan1 Thomas McGowan (@ThomasMcGowan1) reported from Gateshead, England

    right shower of shite the customer service from @virginmedia paying for monthly for nothing 😡🤬

  • rl_chris_higham Chris Higham (@rl_chris_higham) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia £20 a month 'existing customer' penalty on the best you can offer me Vs the best new customer deal is just too much, afraid that's a cancellation from a 10 years loyal customer. £240 is a lot of money!

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia It’s difficult to articulate in a tweet but speaking to someone in an offshore contact centre who has a very poor grasp of English is extremely frustrating. There is no malice in this, it’s just a statement of fact, I couldn’t make myself understood, it took 4 calls and 75 mins.

  • ian_safc_1974 Ian (@ian_safc_1974) reported from Dunston, England

    @lisadunn1978 @virginmedia They sound awful. Is broadband itself any better

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @danielpwood1 @virginmedia I don’t have a regional accent so am normally easily understood, I’m also very patient, enjoy speaking to the Indian guys about cricket, but tonight it was unprofessional and my near thirty years service to VM in all it’s guises rendered irrelevant

  • Stickings90 Graeme Stickings (@Stickings90) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I have received from you an incomplete text message regarding changes to Virgin Media Project and Mobile Rescue Tech support, as from 31 August, but does not say what. What are these changes

  • BevFrankland Bev Frankland (@BevFrankland) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia you write stating have to upgrade to free tivo box & I must contact you 2 arrange. Web site doesn't work, no answer online chat, no answer on text and phone advisor tries to sell me an upgrade. Then email advising price rise in inbox. - total joke!!!

  • ewhittle_ Emily Whittle (@ewhittle_) reported from Walker Gate, England

    The worst part about being an adult is having to do things like talk to the brain dead people behind virgin media

  • scottilderton Scott Ilderton (@scottilderton) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia on hold for 46 mins so far having select options to cancel. The guy the system put me through to cant do this🙄 So i’m back on hold what horrific service #operationkeepthemallonhold

  • jameshedges4 James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No known issues. It’s only wireless speeds. There is no excuse for this, it happens to me almost everyday. I would like to discuss it with someone as I tried at the weekend and was completely fobbed off by your service team. I pay nearly £50 a month and often have to use my 4G

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia I changed to Virgin because BT would drop out regularly in the middle of the Moto GP. Used to have a great service with Sky but they charge an extra 30 something quid for BT Sport

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I have informed the manager that I wanted to make a complaint and he has noted it. I am just starting to calm down now

    @catherine_mayer @virginmedia Looking forward to reading the book Catherine. Your mum is amazing. I’m with you on @virginmedia - it’s been unusable in TW1 for WEEKS. I’ve been locked in a call back system - where I never get called back - for 6 weeks

  • Igordon20 I gordon (@Igordon20) reported

    @virginmedia can you please help? Moved house and NOBODY in virgin media can update the mew address and install the internet. Spoke to 10 people, for hours. Desperation. Of course you will still charge me full bill despite NOT having internet.

  • DazGraham22 Darren Graham (@DazGraham22) reported

    @RedRoseMichelle @virginmedia Only thing worse than their internet is trying to actually speak to someone about their terrible internet 😤

  • ellasw1081 Ella Shaw-Wright (@ellasw1081) reported

    @virginmedia Is there no way that I can cancel online or let you know that I am moving address so wish to cancel services online- DD already been cancelled with bank. I am not happy at all with this service when I pay £121 a month for it!

  • pompeyhedge ed francis (@pompeyhedge) reported

    @virginmedia why is my broadband so crap at 3 in the morning??? It's bad enough it's always diabolical all through the day! Complete and utter joke of a company @libertyglobal

  • AndrewB13613564 Andrew Baillie (@AndrewB13613564) reported

    @virginmedia nice to see your responding to others that posted after I did and not to me. Sums up the service I've had from your company. Your customer service is non existent

  • jonudry Jon Udry (@jonudry) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. My internet just random cuts of at different times. Also, the connection speed is sometimes slow. Can we arrange a time for you to call? As I have never been able to get through to someone on the phone when I call you.

  • TimmyLeeOwens Timmy10P (@TimmyLeeOwens) reported

    @virginmedia I replied way before the deadline time it gave me. Why would it then give the appt to someone else? That would be pretty stupid.. no point calling that number you don’t get through to anyone. Have a good mind just to cancel the entire contract if this is the customer service.

  • SpursKS ° Тоттенхэм (@SpursKS) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for not replying... No one turned up.. And now planned. For the 12th... Another let down pending?? Awful service!!!

  • AlgerianRelief Algerian Relief (@AlgerianRelief) reported

    @virginmedia you are an embarrassment for a company who provide broadband, it’s not working and keep dropping. Can’t even leave your lousy service without threat of paying months of contract ... shame on you
