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

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Cancelled the account on 28th or 29th March. Was told by one of your staff members that the service would be cancelled immediately and that #virginmedia owed us just over £70. She also cancelled the direct debit, agreed to send a cheque for the balance to an alternative address

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    So your staff forgot to cancel my service properly and then conveniently raised two new bills rather than giving us the 70 pound you owe us. 2 X managers and not a clue between any of them #virginmedia #thieves #makethecustomerpayforyourmistakea

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia can you help me with a broadband technical issue. I have 200Mb, power cycle the router daily and still by the end of the day end up with super slow speeds. Less than 1Mb tonight. Thanks.

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No sorry I'm meaning the Internet on my virgin mobile phone is slow

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia So another tonight wasted last night on the phone to all your departments and still no resolution. Still trying to make me pay your staff's mistakes. #virginmediasaga #thieves

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia the Royal baby will have his own baby before you sort my issue out or answer the phone #virginmedia #virginmediasaga

  • gordysocceruk gordon (@gordysocceruk) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia How long is this outage going to last been off for neatly 4 hours.

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I am sick of contacting yourselves regarding it. Your company does not seem to know which department I need to speak to. One minute It's customer care, then movers, then disconnections, who pass me back to customer care. #notaclue #virginmediasaga

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia is your broadband down in this postcode NE261AG plz

  • MrPaulDH Paul Humphreys (@MrPaulDH) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia waiting waiting on the phone no internet at all now your Auto mated checking service says a problem need to speak to your CS. Waiting waiting 30 minutes now

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    Things that have happened in the time it takes for @virginmedia to resolve a complaint. #Royalbaby has been born, #Liverpool beat Barca, Maya got caught on #Emmerdale, #iran have threatened to change their #nucleardear. #virginmediasaga

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia it's a shame I don't have a #timestone so I could go back and never get a service with you #stealingcustomersmoney

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia #virginmediasaga on hold to yourselves again. #youneednewholdmusic. Although I do find it ironic that you play a song with the lyrics 'I'm a sucker for you. The only suckers are the customers like me that can't seem to get issues resolved! #virginmedia #thieves

  • Clarquey Simon Clark (@Clarquey) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Hi @virginmedia. Trying to call, text, WhatsApp my wife today attempting to sort out our children etc and completely unable to. My contract has just been increased. Pretty shocking service and I'm paying more! I would expect some compensation at the very least 😡 #VirginOutage

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @sky do you resolve customer complaints in less time than the 3 weeks @virginmedia need #imightneedanewprovider #coolingoffperiod #virginmediasaga

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hey its been like this for a while. I have the power socket scheduled to restart every night, but it isn't helping. Ive also reset to factory settings numerous times as well as try different wireless channels. WiFi is only part of the problem though as the issue exists on cable

  • gilly562 Gill Anderson (@gilly562) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia no virgin mobile service, can’t make calls, can’t text or receive. No 4G. Been like this for an hour!! PLEASE CAN SOMEONE AT VIRGIN RESPOND!!! Lots of unhappy customers

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    For all the poor sods like me who had nothing but trouble today! #VirginMedia #Virginmediaoutage

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia We asked at the time of there was any money outstanding and we were told no. We were never told it takes 30 days to cancel. Again poor service from yourselves. I don't have the complaint number no as your staff keep hanging up

  • chaddy_the_owl chaddy owl (@chaddy_the_owl) reported

    @virginmedia I have managed to speak to someone, sent all the screenshots from your customer service whattsApp messages which nobody seemed to know about, they now acknowledge I was right, but I STILL have to wait until tomorrow to find out what the outcome is. Unbelievable!!!

  • donnaribs Donna 👻❤️ (@donnaribs) reported

    @virginmedia No error message. Just jumps back and now it closes the app down completely. I’ve cleared the cache. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it. I’ve rebooted the phone. Nothing seems to work so far.

  • donnaribs Donna 👻❤️ (@donnaribs) reported

    @virginmedia I press to log in via virgin media. Then it starts loading the page but then jumps back to the log in with o2 or virgin media screen. Just goes round in circles. Can’t even get to the bit where I can actually sign in as it just keeps skipping back!

  • CompaneroDave David (@CompaneroDave) reported

    @virginmedia Hi - service getting activated in my new house on 19/11 after moving service from previous address. I'm now being bombarded by email/texts about returning my equipment? I can't get through to speak to anyone. Please can you advise as it's really frustrating

  • childhearthos jeremy reynolds (@childhearthos) reported

    @virginmedia So I've given faults a call and has told me nothing until Monday. Surely as this has been going on for so long g someone could come out tomorrow. I am paying for a service I cannot get. This is a complete joke. There is no customer service here helping me get the problem fixed

  • Barchetta66 Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Islington, England

    @Whiskey_Mick @virginmedia We’ve just had the same experience - waited 8 days. Not a word from them. Not a human spoken to. If I had another choice I’d drop them. 0/10 for customer service.

  • timberwolf1964 Richard Hudson 🇬🇧 (@timberwolf1964) reported

    @LeilaniDowding @edfenergy Customer Service just doesn't exist anymore. I hope you never need to ring @VirginMedia You might die waiting

  • VictoriaBarry82 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

  • realsusiemama Susan Tosney (@realsusiemama) reported

    @virginmedia Txt have stopped ! Still no show from virgin . Waste of time trying to call get absolutely no place. Still sharing with my neighbour not bad service from 18th October eh virgin. Can I get out this contract??

  • ideaol @Ideaol (@ideaol) reported

    @virginmedia Rude installation staff. Arrogant attitude with clients. Blackmailing with threatening to rip it out again when asked to do the job properly. Not the first time when this has happened. No one will change it. Can you help @virginmedia?
