Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Sunderland Bridge, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Sunderland Bridge and nearby locations:

  • StevieWalls Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    “You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

  • tenchylad Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

  • Thejollyevfan The Jolly EV Fan (now living up in the North) (@Thejollyevfan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia DM me so I can give contact details. Don’t think it would cause a problem but I’d worry about affecting neighbours services or possible future services should we come back to you.

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

    @virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!

  • gaznolan Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @beardedian @virginmedia @O2 Set up fee and possibly extra for the service you'll have before the next DD comes out?

  • werbedoyle gary doyle (@werbedoyle) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia every month I make the same bloody phone call, you are thee worst company ever !!! Customer service is appalling over charged massively for four months,IS any one out there !!!

  • roytomo1970_roy Roy1986UTB (@roytomo1970_roy) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I've been on hold four 1hr 20 mins. I need to cancel my account. Please reply

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

    @virginmedia She’s sent me a service receipt out

  • NevilleLishman Neville Lishman (@NevilleLishman) reported from Durham, England

    5 hrs now. Just rude @virginmedia just rude. Clearly little of your astronomically charges is spent on your customer service department. It's a recruitment Sargent for @skytv

  • Johnsonator85 Marc J (@Johnsonator85) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Media, I want to cancel

  • Jim_Gardner_ Jim Gardner 🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@Jim_Gardner_) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @SimonMarksFSN Ironically it's the only streaming service of the latest to launch I considered subscribing to here in the UK because CNN removed itself from Sky and Virgin Media when Warner announced its own streaming platform. I hope it now comes back, although it never left LG's WebOS IPTV.

  • HelenEmbleton1 Helen Embleton (@HelenEmbleton1) reported from Leadgate, England

    @virginmedia Your customer services

  • Wathey Shaun Wathey (@Wathey) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia how do I make a complaint?

  • lintoniosmythe Iinton Smith (@lintoniosmythe) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

  • jamie_davison1 Jamie Davison (@jamie_davison1) reported from Seaham, England

    My wifi and 4g at home is absolutely garbage, sort your **** out @virginmedia

  • tenchylad Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

  • Deggsytweets Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I have to wait 24hrs & call back not only is the red light an issue, the WiFi has now stopped working!

  • ZicoPete Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia what channels do I need to go down for a stable connection check in my area, two days in a row internet keeps dropping not ideal when working from home. Thanks.

  • StricklandPaula PH NQOT (She/her) 💙 (@StricklandPaula) reported from Shildon, England

    Our @virginmedia package - both TV and broadband- has been really poor lately. Totally frustrating 😑

  • pauljacques83 Paul Jacques (@pauljacques83) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Been in my new house 13 day and for the third time tomorrow I have a @virginmedia technician coming out to 'fix' my wifi. Fingers crossed this one actually takes and it's third time's the charm

  • LFCSandra #gotyourbacknhs BSc, MAPharmT 🇺🇦 #NIR (@LFCSandra) reported

    @petercardwell @virginmedia @TalkTV We had Virgin Media because my husband wanted it. Now we live in an area where we can’t have Virgin, so we have BT instead and they are so much better than Virgin. When our broadband went down, they were out the next day to fix it

  • maomix99846380 maomix (@maomix99846380) reported

    @virginmedia Following no reply to my complaint of 14/07, and leaving a negative TrustPilot review I've been told to tweet instead?? Customer service has been non existent, we were meant to have fibre installed 28/06, then 13/07 and now 9/08! Complete shambles!

  • CryptoDan2k CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Yes, as discussed many a time. Without fail occasion I phone there is a fault in my area and you will not send out a technician. This circle can not seam to be broken. This is why you have failed to get an engineer out to me for months and months.

  • HWick_Chris Chris (@HWick_Chris) reported

    @petercardwell My Virgin Media broadband has had a number of issues recently. I’m not looking forward to being on a call with them later. And in a queue. The first line support staff are all very nice but are clearly undertrained & inexperienced. “Have you tried turning it off and on again”? 🙄

  • CryptoDan2k CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported

    @virginmedia Also I tried to cancel the contract after the Mrs renewed the contract within 28 days to find out it's only 14 days.

  • EdinAbstainer Edinburgh Abstainer (@EdinAbstainer) reported

    Hey @virginmedia that’s now 5 1/2 hours in total I’ve been waiting to speak with someone either by phone, “live chat” or WhatsApp. This is the most pathetic customer service I’ve come across

  • craftyprimrose primrose (@craftyprimrose) reported

    @virginmedia Episode 1 was on on demand. Episode 2 never was available that way 😕

  • bluenose199011 Woody (@bluenose199011) reported

    @virginmedia are absolutely dreadful. Worst ever. Useless.

  • kerrylowen Kerry Weston (Owen) (@kerrylowen) reported

    @virginmedia disappointed. New customer & whenon phone2 buy wasnt asked if had had the virgin connection in wall told a router sent which plugs in. Arrived yesterday and didn't fit our wall connection so need engineer, old broadband provider cancelled so now we have no broadband

  • Jennyh0151 Jenny (@Jennyh0151) reported

    @virginmedia your stupid website is sending me around in circles! My broadband is rubbish it's so slow in sick of resetting it! I want to speak to someone I no that you are part of the compensation scheme that means If I'm not getting the correct speed you should cut my bill!
