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

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

  • 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

  • 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

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

  • 66_mazza Mazza 66 (@66_mazza) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 4 hrs of drivel,inane quedtions 5 TIMES I'VE PROVIDED SECURITY,5 plus hours now,no more,your latest un helpful operator is now asking about moving house WHAT???? I want out ASAP,my god no wonder you amateurs get bad press,Im actually questioning their ability to even read????

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

    Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia why is phone network not working and plus can't phone people or text tryed restarting phone still. Nothing can't even ring you guys WTAF

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia can you help me please everytime I try to log in the virgin media app on my mobile account it's logs me off all the time why ?

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Internet connection is intermittent in NE34, has been since at least Saturday. Connection drops at random. Have just restarted router again as I'm working from home & need to be online, no idea how long this will last. Not the only one having issues.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

  • 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

  • 40yearsofhurt JOP (@40yearsofhurt) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  • RobbyRSSRobot Robby #CelebrateNeighbours (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

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

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

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  • 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

  • dickyblinkhorn dicky blinkhorn (@dickyblinkhorn) reported

    @virginmedia It says there are issues with all of MY devices, not the broadband signal , putting the blame’s elsewhere methinks! Looks like i will have to look for another provider… it’s been a regular issue over the last few months, and I’ve been with you since 1996 , ntl then you … shame

  • seanbt67 Sean B Tennyson (@seanbt67) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve done it every day this week, I spend more time trying to contact a human than Virgin seem to be doing to resolve the problems

  • Magikos_IT Magikos_IT (@Magikos_IT) reported

    @virginmedia Unable to call from the location directly as it's a care home and we are remotely monitoring the landline broadband going up and down. Any other checks you can perform?

  • Tomsk_UK Paul (@Tomsk_UK) reported

    @virginmedia area code 31 Still no Internet, services has been terrible for 2 weeks solid, intermittent issues, however before this rock solid speeds and connection, what have you done in this area recently?

  • sfc1107 Cathedral Constable 1107 (@sfc1107) reported

    @virginmedia your website tells me that all is fine in my area, I then get you to check my broadband service.... And guess what????? 'An intermittent service issue'.... When are you going to get your act together?? I've had the same intermittent issue for 3 weeks...SORT IT OUT.

  • johnwilliedean JD 🇾🇪 (@johnwilliedean) reported

    Hello @virginmedia just spoken to one of your employees who has told me that in order to use your Wi-Fi I have to turn off my @Sonos sound bar? I’ve never heard such nonsense in my life. Your service is terrible and your staff are worse.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported

    @virginmedia is there a problem in Croydon because I don't have any internet or phone line and your status page is saying everything's fine multiple people have lost service in our block of flats

  • seanbt67 Sean B Tennyson (@seanbt67) reported

    @virginmedia Well your system is broken otherwise I would have broadband!!

  • seanbt67 Sean B Tennyson (@seanbt67) reported

    @virginmedia Don’t know, I’m just fed up trying to get these issues resolved, every day so far this week there have been issues, I cannot check online without an internet connection

  • Magikos_IT Magikos_IT (@Magikos_IT) reported

    @virginmedia Problems in Southampton with really poor connectivity and dropping services all the time. Been poor since downtime a couple of days ago. Online service says only TV affected but this is not right and when on the next screen to test line, it just says unable to test?
