Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Newcastle under Lyme and nearby locations:

  • LesChaplin Les Chaplin (@LesChaplin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I am not stupid I get that! However, the text I received said welcome to Greece you can use your phone exactly the same as if in the uk so I had absolutely no reason to switch roaming off when I never left the resort. I have kept the texts which state exactly that

  • JuPo71 Julie Podet (@JuPo71) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia your service is very poor for older people. Almost an hour and still not resolved my mum’s issues!

  • imandywelsh Andy Welsh 🍕 (@imandywelsh) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Don't worry you're rep is long gone! It was just the worst timing to rock up & block our extremely tight side road 👌🏻

  • AleeOwnzz Alee (@AleeOwnzz) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @toastwiz @virginmedia Gotta be a pretty big issue to take 10 days Jesus

  • LesChaplin Les Chaplin (@LesChaplin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @McGiff @virginmedia I am having exactly the same problem over roaming charges for a country I’ve not been anywhere near a, appalling service and been told tough pay or they take me to court! At my wits end!

  • williamtm Will Hook (@williamtm) reported from Crewe, England

    @serenium @virginmedia Lots of ISPs don’t support it, not just VM.

  • SoManyJoels Joel Womsley (@SoManyJoels) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    Hey @virginmedia wifi has been down for 12 hours box has been reset several times, any idea what the problem is : ST5 postcode

  • LesChaplin Les Chaplin (@LesChaplin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes absolutely, soon as we landed I got the message saying I was in Greece and could use my mobile exactly the same as in the UK. At no point did it say to check for other countries in case they stole my network! I had been on the same network all week from 26th August

  • PPowellfamily Denise Powell (@PPowellfamily) reported from Barlaston, England

    @virginmedia 2 houses in the same street no Internet or broadband. Your call centre claims the fault to be in my home. #3rd class service

  • Knightfight7 David Knight (@Knightfight7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Didn’t think your service could get worse.Wifi is now completely unusable.Getting 3mb wired into a Xbox one.Still got considerable amount of tv channels not working.All for £100 per month.What an absolute disgrace

  • JuPo71 Julie Podet (@JuPo71) reported from Crewe, England

    @virginmedia It took over 50 mins to get through to receive no relevant assistance or guidance. However no problem in taking the DD of £100 every month !!

  • JuPo71 Julie Podet (@JuPo71) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia very disappointed with your level of service to an elderly disabled customer. Drafting a complaint that will be with your shortly.

  • Mountain1863 Shaun Mountain (@Mountain1863) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia Not even a DM asking for contact details to discuss further @Ofcom & @CISASUK have been informed and will be supporting with furthering my complaint. Hopefully my followers will see these tweets and avoid your black Friday sales 👌👍 even if only one person avoids the #scammers

  • BarryWi32733397 Barry Williams (@BarryWi32733397) reported from Hixon, England

    @staffsbrewery @unicom @openreach I walked away from BT Infinity in my Hixon village as soon as Virgin Media was available the Service from BT was not good to say the least and i safe money with VM compared to my monthly charges from BT and Sky

  • mbusby993 𝕸𝖆𝖙𝖙🏳️‍🌈 (@mbusby993) reported from Mow Cop, England

    Hey @virginmedia, please install fibre lines in Mow Cop (ST7) so I can get rid of PlusNet. Had to change from Virgin Broadband when we moved, and I never had a single issue. Sick of PlusNet outages now.

  • jamesjohara James O'Hara (@jamesjohara) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    Er....@virginmedia it's not working!

  • demonbaz666 bazza baz (@demonbaz666) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

  • HibbsA Anthony Hibbs (@HibbsA) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @Paulout @BT @virginmedia I can’t believe how bad BT have been over this. Advisors just seem to want to keep you talking even after taking 20+ mins to get through and then do nothing for you. Proper fed up 🙁

  • Knightfight7 David Knight (@Knightfight7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia £100 per month for WiFi that is virtually unusable and tv where five of my paid sports channels and three movie channels are unwatchable.Shocking service

  • FowldsSimon Santa Sime 🎅🏻🎄 (@FowldsSimon) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia why was I not informed of changes to my package. I’ve got the full house package which included kids tv. Name changed to maxit and now no kids Tv. Thank god we have amazon and Netflix which has kids stuff on. Don’t watch either on Virgin as it’s so slow.

    @virginmedia Yes but I spent 13 hours yesterday on chat with still no resolution and what felt like bullying tactics

  • cahatton30 mr c (@cahatton30) reported

    @virginmedia I signed up in October with a view to wait two weeks for installation. By the time my next appointment comes on the 12/12/20, it’ll be three months and you guys won’t even help with supplying internet in any other way

  • dan371971 Danny Hutchings (@dan371971) reported

    @virginmedia tried to get nuisance calls stopped and you want to charge £2.75pm!! I’m getting a lot of fake VM calls saying that there is a problem with my broadband. Staff member couldn’t understand my issue. Hung up in the end.

  • JV12474710 JV (@JV12474710) reported

    @virginmedia just got my virgin media box yesterday. After 6 hrs on the phone being passed around I would love to cancel it now. If the team members would actually put me in touch with them.

  • jbate1104 Jackie Bate (@jbate1104) reported

    @virginmedia I can't keep rebooting 5 or 6 times a day when it goes down. I've got work to do.

  • thom_horne Thom Horne (@thom_horne) reported

    @Ellis_C_Chem @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK Indeed, it's never that great when it is working to be honest. :( I'm counting the days to June/July and being able to switch back to Virgin Media to be fair.

  • PaulieBUKLT Paulius B (@PaulieBUKLT) reported

    Any1 else got problems with Virgin broadband today? Down in SE London again. A daily joy with Virgin now. Yes, checked service status and it doesn't say much about the on-going issue. #virginmediadown #virginmedia

  • KatShipley_ Katharine Shipley (@KatShipley_) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia We now want to leave as I’ve never known such poor service and a company that causes me so much stress and anxiety but not ‘allowed’

  • foo8888 Kazza (@foo8888) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t know, I phoned again to leaving the service( funny was answered in 8 mins) and Jodie Is sending out an engineer.
