Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Peterlee, England

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

  • 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

  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is terrible. So slow and it’s meant to be the fastest. Regretting the switch at the minute

  • 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

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

    Please be aware everyone when you get a inbox from virgin media. I got one yesterday asking about my account and asking me to send my card details and card holder name and security number to verify the account. It wasn’t virgin media but a scam. Because my internet was down. Scum

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia yet again my internet down.

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

    Ha ha @virginmedia it’s gone off again. This is twice since dinner time where it’s just randomly turned itself off. #annoying and yes it’s saying there’s nothing wrong with the service in my area. So why does it turn itself off ffs

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

    @virginmedia It was working fine, then went off and came back but the hub was flashing green quite quickly. When it renegotiates it's usually slow and steady green flash but this was really quick

  • 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

  • LumbWriter David Lumb Writer (@LumbWriter) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia why is the internet down? I've checked and you're aware of this issue. I would like it sorted out

  • 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

  • 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 I’ve sorted the problem I think. Or maybe until the next time it goes off. I’ve disconnected coax cable etc and blew them clean and tightened them back up and done a speed test and it’s up to 365mb download speed. Hopefully this has fixed problem

  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia There isn’t any reported problems in my area but mine is very ‘hit and miss’ at the moment. I’ll go for periods where nothing will upload/download at all

  • Boro_shirts Stu # Boro Shirts (@Boro_shirts) reported from Billingham, England

    Anyone else virgin media Internet down billingham?

  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Yes unable to use it. Wireless is very poor and was great during the first couple of weeks. Uploading is very hot and miss. Not happy considering I’m paying for fast broadband. My phone rarely connects to it unless I’m fairly close to the router. This can’t be right

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @Barrymore_Jones @virginmedia Mine has been ok until about 2 weeks ago mate and now it keeps turning itself off for no reason. And then I get slow speeds. Usually in the 300,s mate

  • 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

  • iamyouronegod God (@iamyouronegod) reported

    @virginmedia seems there are country wide issues with your services and you are just burying your head in the sand directing customers to your service status page which says no faults, but multiple people in my area having EXACTLY THE SAME issue. Why lie to your customers?

  • jon_NoCode Jon McKellan (@jon_NoCode) reported

    Hey @virginmedia is this supposed to be this bad? With everyone working from home, good upload speed is pretty important and this is killing me. Help.

  • Erjon86737430 Erjon (@Erjon86737430) reported

    @virginmedia All they say is we can't give you a time ill let my team know and no one actually helps us or lets us know about anything. My kids would have problems with their internet because they have online school work to do and they only have a slow temporary internet.

  • BryonyLloyd3 Bryony Lloyd (@BryonyLloyd3) reported

    @virginmedia But as people from our street and streets near us are saying the same thing on a local FB page, my hub doesn't matter. It's the service that is broken.

  • GillianMaund Baloobear (@GillianMaund) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been told to go online and fix, I have done everything and still not working. You can arrange a call to sell me something but not to talk through a problem. I cannot understand virgin media virgin mobile virgin don’t give a damn

  • w_cazz Cazz 💙 (@w_cazz) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, I understand work has to be done but to just cut customers off for this length of time without an explanation, I think is very poor. I had an attempt break in last year & ive been very vulnerable & scared without cover

  • DavCampbell_12 David Campbell (@DavCampbell_12) reported

    Only just got and set up my @virginmedia broadband 2 hours ago and it's not working. Been reading other peoples tweets about it being down. If this is the case of it going down all the time then it's lucky enough I have a 14 day cooling off period to cancel for free #broadband

  • yazzie_r Yasmin Ripley (@yazzie_r) reported

    @virginmedia Still constantly cutting out. I’ve tried the trouble shooting and done factory reset. There are no operators available whenever I call

  • arts3lab Nico (@arts3lab) reported

    @virginmedia how do I cancel my subscription. One hour on the phone and the line dropped! Is this one of those "impossible to leave" memberships?

  • Sioux631 Sioux63 (@Sioux631) reported

    @virginmedia No help there either
