Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Seaham, England

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

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia It says there’s no issues in my area. So why does my internet keep going off. If it works it’s very rarely high or if it is it’s only for a short time. Then goes off and gives low readings. I’ve reset it and unplugged it from mains etc and still it’s on and off. Annoying

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia yet again my internet down.

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia So I expected a call today before 12pm from business team I also logged a call back on the website for one of the team to call me before 12pm. Engineer on Friday said someone would call in the morning it’s now just gone after 12 and I am still waiting? This is poor?!

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I called the help line and a bot told me to restart my router twice and then proceeded to end the call. Little fed up

  • alicen0rt0n alice✨ (@alicen0rt0n) reported from Washington, England

    THE WORST customer service @virginmedia, should be ashamed of treating loyal customers the way a member of staff has just spoken to my mam

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia is broadband services down. My internet has been intermittent for the last week. Reset router 3 times today and still not working properly. Download speed is 1mb. Usually 380 mb

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia And it has just cut out again and your bot via the number above just said restart the router and put the phone down on me. Slightly concerned that it lasted 5 days again and decided to come back to disconnecting?

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia Waiting on the Medallia survey as the engineer was fab. Want to make sure he gets recognition for his good service

  • MarkCarruthers_ Mark Carruthers (@MarkCarruthers_) reported from Wallsend, England

    What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia can you explain to me why you tell blatant lies in response to a complaint

  • panicdragon8784 Panicdragon8784 (@panicdragon8784) reported from South Shields, England

    @BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia how can we be made to pay for a service We have not used my usual bill is £122.00 my new bill is £206.19 the charge is for telephone use of £84.14 we have not used the phone in two month I have been on the phone for over an hour and a half getting passed about

  • Danielson_1991 Daniel Thompson (@Danielson_1991) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia I honestly can't deal with being passed around departments again. The problem is the WiFi is weak upstairs and I'm paying for a product thats not fit for service. You advertise intelligent pods to boost connections, all I want is to order one to resolve the issue.

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Should that not be your job to check and then tell me the answer. You havnt really solved the problem by telling me to check my area. You should know if there’s any problems where ever they may be

  • SafcJamieG Jamie (@SafcJamieG) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia They raised a complaint and nothing was done about it, they probably didn’t even listen to the call where I was sold the product, if they did it would have been dealt with

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia Checked l the internal cabling and all right etc so hopefully just a lose wire somewhere at the cabinet or something the engineer can easily fix. Is there any refund due to lack of service? I pay £67 a month. Can offset that against my mobile phone data

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I know that but we are paying for the fastest speed and when it eventually works we don’t get nowhere near that speed. Considering how many times I have to reset the router we don’t get a full service. Just wanted it sorting out

  • ChrisJ94_ Chris Johnson (@ChrisJ94_) reported from Wallsend, England

    . @virginmedia rang virgin last week to move house. You've done the external install yesterday but haven't turned up for internal install today. Tried to log into my account and it says my package is cancelled no options for support at all. Called and hung up on before answer.

  • ge07gyp George Polycarpou (@ge07gyp) reported

    @skytv @skyhelpteam how poor of you to sell me Ultrafast fibre into my home then only deliver using existing old copper cabling. I feel completely robbed and cheated. Should not have let you talk me out of switching to @virginmedia

  • stemark01 Ste (@stemark01) reported

    @virginmedia complaints raised, no resolution. Internet is abysmal. Not good when relied on for work.

  • PalmiraWorld Hello_World (@PalmiraWorld) reported

    Can you sort problems in SE7 ,London? It’s been over a week that the internet is weak! We pay quite a lot and expensive to receive a good service in return @virginmedia

  • thomasdmatthews Thomas Matthews (@thomasdmatthews) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia no Internet in WC1X? Service has been so shite of late. What's the deal?

  • koltregaskes Kol Tregaskes (@koltregaskes) reported

    @virginmedia Is there a known issue in Edenbridge (TN8)? My internet has been flaky for a few days and has now gone down completely. The Hub 3 looks OK, the test said there was no problem and broadband status is green but I have no connection at the moment.

  • robackroyd YorkshireGuy (@robackroyd) reported

    @IcelandFoods No point as your customer service is actually worse than @virginmedia .. which to be honest is quite an achievement. I suggest you consider using taxis for missed delivers and wake up.. @asda next time

  • JoshRadley17 Josh (@JoshRadley17) reported

    @virginmedia broadband is very slow cm20 3dd area

  • Joshhuck93 Josh (@Joshhuck93) reported

    Not a great start with @virginmedia….since getting it haven’t had any tv due to an ‘error on the network’ which will take 2 days to fix. Also can’t log in to the tv app. Regretting moving from @bt_uk already
