Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Whickham and nearby locations:

  • maxinetennet74 Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, England

    What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

  • ema_neale emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

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

    Wakey wakey @virginmedia shoddy service not to update a LOT of the UK on broadband problems

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • didixon74 LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

  • didixon74 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.

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to them the other day they told me that you do not record any time when the broadband drops out only when a customer calls in so please can you get this sorted out thank you

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever

  • classicm Mike Moody (@classicm) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia All my tv, broadband and phone services are down. Nobody available from Virgin to help. Done all the usual checks and still off.

  • PaulCraig24 Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

  • didixon74 LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Ryton, England

    @_ItsLewis18_ @virginmedia I managed to get onto live ch at t and they have done something to fix it. Thank you

  • didixon74 LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Ryton, England

    @virginmedia I have a problem with my red button not working for sky sports football not working, how can I get this issue resolved please

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

  • KeithRwc Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, England

    Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

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

    @virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?

  • TheFraserPorter Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!

  • jamesdgreen02 jamesdgreen (@jamesdgreen02) reported from Bedford, England

    @virginmedia great service from your sales team over the phone as your website crashed when ordering. But needed to talk to CS to get them to cancel the order that was partially done before website crashed. But accordingly CS they can’t see it. Ant it would take them 7 days 1/2

  • wexfordobrien Tony O'Brien (@wexfordobrien) reported from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Leinster

    @sarahcareyIRL Was wondering that. No Fox on the Virgin Media service. 🤔

  • LukeBCornish Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia pls can you help? Website and app help doesn't address the technical issues and don't provide way to contact you. Phoned 150, automated system said it would update & restart TV. Nothing happened. Can't watch recorded programmes since 12th Oct. Frustrating!

  • cambo_72 Scott Campbell 🃏🧔🏻🤡🪂 (@cambo_72) reported from Southampton, England

    Dear @virginmedia I’m trying to have some banter with some friends in the PO postcode but it seems the broadband is down in that area. Any idea why? #SaintsFC #topoftheleague

  • Rob_Hallmark Rob (@Rob_Hallmark) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hello. Since I signed up in may I have never been able to log into my account. I never received the welcome email etc so don’t know my account or customer number. I have tried calling and they said they resent the email but nothing. What can I do?

  • Ianharwooduk Ian Harwood (@Ianharwooduk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I have twice tried to speak to people this week re the poor broadband speeds whilst being left on hold for over an hour the first time and 30 mins the 2nd time. Can someone contact me so I can end my contract as your service is terrible

  • jph1962 OfficialJohnHarrison (@jph1962) reported from West Bridgford, England
