Latest outage, problems and issue reports in South Shields and nearby locations:

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Tomorrow. This has been going on for over two weeks intermittent but the way I was treated was not the way to treat a loyal customer

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

    @virginmedia There seems to be a network problem. The box had a green light flashing. Our phones & iPads are connect but the sky boxes don’t seem to be. Can I DM you please

  • ian_safc_1974 Ian (@ian_safc_1974) reported from Dunston, England

    @lisadunn1978 @virginmedia They sound awful. Is broadband itself any better

  • jameshedges4 James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No known issues. It’s only wireless speeds. There is no excuse for this, it happens to me almost everyday. I would like to discuss it with someone as I tried at the weekend and was completely fobbed off by your service team. I pay nearly £50 a month and often have to use my 4G

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @danielpwood1 @virginmedia I don’t have a regional accent so am normally easily understood, I’m also very patient, enjoy speaking to the Indian guys about cricket, but tonight it was unprofessional and my near thirty years service to VM in all it’s guises rendered irrelevant

  • scottilderton Scott Ilderton (@scottilderton) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia on hold for 46 mins so far having select options to cancel. The guy the system put me through to cant do this🙄 So i’m back on hold what horrific service #operationkeepthemallonhold

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia And no I can’t match it Virgin Media fails almost every week, we have a whole other level of shit service compared to you 👎

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I have the App but having it confirm what I already know is no help whatsoever. Instead of investing in Apps that confirm your service is not fit for purpose why not invest in providing an unfailing service to customers. Currently you take money for services you can’t deliver

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I have informed the manager that I wanted to make a complaint and he has noted it. I am just starting to calm down now

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia And our Virgin TV has failed again your service truly is shite and a waste of my money looks like we are left with terrestrial TV through our always reliable tv aerial again you should be deeply ashamed of your outrageously poor service 👎

  • d_n_g_x 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆🐸 (@d_n_g_x) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It was @Stacey_MW_WL with the problem

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @lisadunn1978 @virginmedia I have just had hell on and demanded to speak to a manager. At first I was told there was no issue in our area and it was the router then the manager has told me that there is a problem in our area

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia It’s difficult to articulate in a tweet but speaking to someone in an offshore contact centre who has a very poor grasp of English is extremely frustrating. There is no malice in this, it’s just a statement of fact, I couldn’t make myself understood, it took 4 calls and 75 mins.

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia I didn’t miss your point I just do t agree with it - if we pay for service everyday it should work every single day. I do not consider any failure to be a good service

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @RevDubbleD @virginmedia Absolutely appalling service today. The attitude of the people I dealt with was staggering for a customer centric organisation.

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia I changed to Virgin because BT would drop out regularly in the middle of the Moto GP. Used to have a great service with Sky but they charge an extra 30 something quid for BT Sport

  • TheToon1892 ⓃⓊⒻⒸ ①⑧⑨② (@TheToon1892) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia @VasBlackwood It could be your staff need training in how to offer professional customer service.... Most haven't got a clue

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia @jeffsprogress It didn’t work for a day and you think it is a great experience and good service. With that attitude no wonder we get such a shit service

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Back up and working again I look forward to the next time your service fails - the worst service I’ve experienced since the demise of dial up internet and party line telephones 👎

  • amymccordx Amy McCord (@amymccordx) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I was speaking with an agent an hour ago due to an issues with WiFi. They said they’d 100% ring me back in 30 mins as we did a hard reset of the booster. It’s been another 30 mins since then and no one has called. #notmyday

  • Mick1082 Mike smith (@Mick1082) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia still no working phone line no working tv service I’ve had enough of this appalling service and either this gets resolved by today or I’m going to sky as a customer of 13 years with you It’s now getting pointless having your services as they don’t work I’m paying

  • LUCYWALTON5 Lucy Walton Lange (@LUCYWALTON5) reported

    @virginmedia our Internet has gone down, whats the best contact to get this resolved?

  • bubblemaster3 ⚒Rod⚒ (@bubblemaster3) reported

    @virginmedia It's a router problem, had it some around 15 years! Reset it and it works again, some days you have to do it 2,3,4 times! Been happening for weeks! Just can't talk to anyone at VM to report it! Faults happen but its the service, its non existant!

  • MissLizzieReed Elizabeth Reed (@MissLizzieReed) reported

    @virginmedia Ps it’s the same intermittent service issue. I don’t know what it is - but it’s a recurring problem in my area

  • vbcatlady Venetia B (@vbcatlady) reported

    @virginmedia Done that and no issue came forward...as I said in original tweet it is an intermittent problem, and we haven't tried watching anything either recorded or streamed since my first enquiry but it is an issue that raises its head from time to time...any other ideas?

  • Paul_CR_Smith Paul Smith (@Paul_CR_Smith) reported

    @virginmedia Only had to reset everything three times over Christmas. I suppose that counts as a good service

  • julienjie1 julie njie (@julienjie1) reported

    @virginmedia If I don't get an answer today I will contact CISAS to see if they can help

  • CarlDifford Carl Difford (@CarlDifford) reported

    @virginmedia Any suggestions as to whether this comes under bills, faults and technical help, new installations or changes to my package, because they are my only options - with a warning that waiting to be connected may take up to an hour?

  • TommyBartram84 Mr Bartram (@TommyBartram84) reported

    @virginmedia Ive called them every day since and had absolutely no sucess with your people. Engineer was due to move service from one flat to another on 28th, didnt bother to turn up, so moved myself. Nothing works. Only phone help i get is ‘try restarting box’.

  • sparkly1968 James Brennan (@sparkly1968) reported

    @virginmedia what’s the latest update on my lost of service since yesterday ?
