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

  • 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

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia is broadband services down. My internet has been intermittent for the last week. Reset router 3 times today and still not working properly. Download speed is 1mb. Usually 380 mb

  • 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?

  • 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 **** 😩

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia service down NE26 PANTS

  • 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

  • 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?!?!?

  • 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?!

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia yet again my internet down.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • playpet1 playpet (@playpet1) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah I’ve had it with your belligerent attitude, nothings ever your fault, it’s always something or someone to blame, This has gone on for years! You over sell your product and your hubs can’t A D convert and this is the issue but you deny it and soon I will have enough evidence

  • LukeHayesII Luke Hayes (@LukeHayesII) reported

    @ZanderLaw Well I dont know I've never owned Sky/BT/Virgin Media

  • Chars_71 👓 (@Chars_71) reported

    @virginmedia I’m not stupid, I’m with bt

  • MattH69695787 Matt H (@MattH69695787) reported

    @virginmedia please help! I've rang, I've emailed and I've seen your engineer to plea for help with our internet. However, you don't call, you don't write, you don't email! I'm concerned that our long term relationship is breaking down. I am sorry to say I am thinking of leaving!

  • TheRealStuddy Studdy (@TheRealStuddy) reported

    @virginmedia It says "no network issue found" - how does this help? I'm not imagining awful speeds, it's been saying no issue for 3+ months and its been god awful everyday. At this point changing suppliers is easier than going through this crap, as the help from Virgin is pitiful.

  • newgeometry men in tracksuits (@newgeometry) reported

    @virginmedia Hello - once again the internet is down in the E17 area and my connection is not solid enough to properly report. It’s cost me 2 hous so far.

  • LaurenceW27 L∆ (@LaurenceW27) reported

    @virginmedia joined for broadband earlier this week and received our Hub 4 yesterday, having range/speed issues but haven’t received welcome email with acc number yet so I can register for the virgin connect app to see what’s happening- can someone help?

  • playpet1 playpet (@playpet1) reported

    @virginmedia Once I have enough evidence over your poor internet I will because the time for us to negotiate and resolve has passed, you have played all your ignorance cards and “we’re busy “ once too often.. you are lazy and rife with corruption

  • MaxIngram1 Mac Ingam (@MaxIngram1) reported

    @virginmedia I need a technician to resolve the issue so I don't think asking the community will help

  • Twitchbaldeagle Baldeagle (@Twitchbaldeagle) reported

    @virginmedia It’s been an on going issue in my area. When I do a check on the service on your website it says the same thing. You know there is a issue in my area. Nothing about when is it going to be fixed or what the actual problem is.
