Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Washington, England

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

  • PaulCraig24 Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

  • modelnicola Nicola (@modelnicola) reported from Peterlee, England

    @virginmedia Frustrating it had to come to this when an internal investigation would easily reveal that your contractors removed struts designed to secure the fence. Now having to pay court fees to remedy an issue created by you. It's a sham. I guess you hope most people back down.

  • 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

  • modelnicola Nicola (@modelnicola) reported from Peterlee, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia paperwork completed by my other half for court. Not a single follow up from Virgin. Please RT what a shambles this company and their contractors are. Accepted fault for damage at the time but won't pay up for repairs. Spread the word. Retweet this!

  • 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

  • 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

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Yes that’s fine, I offered to send it back but I was told to use it until the call was listened to. Can you check on the progress of the complaint

  • Tanya_M_S Tanya ❤️🤍 (@Tanya_M_S) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia sky red button not working again. 😕 sort it out 🤬😡😡😡😡

  • PaulCraig24 Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

  • TrevorRidley Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia I’ve looked & it’s no help

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia I know my line is spoofed, when an incoming call from a foreign country is giving out I’m not wrong number as I’m being spoofed I am technically aware of this I used to provide support for a very large telecommunications company

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

    @virginmedia I’ve tried to use the add-on service as being a broadband customer I’m able to download to the O2 app however I cannot sign in as I do not have a mobile number and it will not accept my landline, can you help

  • liam_Tinybuddy Liam (Tinybuddy) (@liam_Tinybuddy) reported from Newburn, England

  • 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

  • iggywig Iggy (@iggywig) reported

    @graemefowler @virginmedia Virgin were a nightmare when I was out of contract. They wanted to charge me loads, I ended up going FTTP. Three calls to cancel and on the last call they offered me a really good deal that I’d have probably stayed for if they’d offered that first.. Moronic.

  • Here4AMC A (@Here4AMC) reported

    @virginmedia Everyday all week it works whilst we all asleep then goes off…. We cant WFH at home at all right now all week due to this. Yet you charged us the full wack when we have not been able to use the service.

  • amandaogando Amanda O. (@amandaogando) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp I'm trying to cancel my internet, I don't live in Ireland anymore, I can't call, I tried via email, but they sent me a link and I wasn't successful. 😞 My husband has been trying to cancel for 3 days and he can't.

  • ashisnemo Ashley Jones (@ashisnemo) reported

    @virginmedia Strange, both my calls were answered almost immediately, it was the call handlers being obstinate that drew out the calls. The call quality was excellent both times right until they finally listened to me asking repeatedly to cancel my contract. Then they hung up

  • AstridRuzzene Ruzzene (@AstridRuzzene) reported

    @virginmedia @TheBHF @O2 13th day with no wifi... just received an email stating that service was back LOL and of course no email address to answer. If your company was ok with their service they would not be scared to have email inbox or PM via twitter. It tells a lot about how poor your service is.

  • APryceUK Andy Pryce (@APryceUK) reported

    @WhiteLionKL @virginmedia Same happened with me. Awful company

  • Dem0cracyWins Chappie Intertech (@Dem0cracyWins) reported

    @virginmedia I don't have time to sit here chatting on forums for hours on end. I've spent the best part of the day calling and I'm chatting to your online support to no avail. I have been waiting since 12:30pm for an engineer to phone me and still nobody has called. First I was told they

  • nicfrati Nicki (@nicfrati) reported

    @virginmedia Still no updates ur service checker is still saying no issues in my area despite the fact that I’m still WITHOUT any service 🙄 and yet i still have not been given any explanation other then it’s a “complex issue” this is just not good enough

  • APryceUK Andy Pryce (@APryceUK) reported

    @StuartW68981754 @virginmedia Mate they are awful. Now lodging a claim with the small claims court. Shocking service levels.

  • mas2theling Nicola Masling (@mas2theling) reported

    @virginmedia any chance i can get the service i pay for!! Customer service is shocking. Not interested at all!
