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 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 **** 😩

  • vanderpijpen ChrisV2theP™ (@vanderpijpen) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia Rubbish! That number is automated said sent signal 2 switch off box and restart didn't happen spend another hr on phone explaining issue 2 4 different advisers!!! Worst service I've ever received complete garbage

  • NikoSarcevic Niko (@NikoSarcevic) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I see. It is very unfortunate as I cannot do my work when I’m not online and I also spend more on mobile internet because the service I pay for regularly is simply not there.

  • 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

  • vanderpijpen ChrisV2theP™ (@vanderpijpen) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia Yeah because they couldn't get it to work so my problem was hardly resolved!!!!!!

  • 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

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia these past few weeks my wifi signal has been absolute dog, I used to be able to get good signal all around the house, now barely get goof signal in my kitchen no more than 10m away from the hub, my TV which is about 2m away only gets 30mbps when my package is 200??

  • 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 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

  • 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?!?!?

  • vanderpijpen ChrisV2theP™ (@vanderpijpen) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia Through WhatsApp chat lastnight said it was done received email saying added. Checked tonight still not working. Phonecall to your call centre 3 operators still not working now waiting for a technician 2 call me back apparently within 4hrs

  • NikoSarcevic Niko (@NikoSarcevic) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Service page doesn’t indicate anything. I’ve checked all the devices (I only use the wifi no lan cables) and nothing is connected.

  • 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..

  • 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.

  • 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

    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

    @katewalsh11 @virginmedia Greetings, I had a similar issue but some phone calls and a letter of complaint got my "normal" price reduced significantly for 18 months. In the end they were very helpful but it took a little work!

  • catey519 kitkat (@catey519) reported

    @virginmedia I’m currently calling your Irish customer support number

  • sim_phoenix Phoenix 💜 (@sim_phoenix) reported

    @virginmedia Since installation last week, this service has dropped out consistently each day whilst working and whilst streaming. I am a new customer and not able to work effectively due to the poor service. I need it to be resolved or my money back and contract cancelled.

  • Hayleyy_roe94 Hayley Roe (@Hayleyy_roe94) reported

    @virginmedia Yes raised a complaint, received an email yesterday to say they have closed the complaint but nothing has been resolved! Virgin C-2306221904

  • PriapusIQ PiQ  (@PriapusIQ) reported

    @virginmedia years been trying to deal with an issue, and just when I finally think its sorted, and all I'm waiting for it a callback (last week)... No callback. Not like it involved you breaching GDPR or anything serious like that... oh wait
