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

  • danieljohnallis Daniel Allis 🇬🇧 (@danieljohnallis) reported from Gateshead, England

    @lxwissssss @MartinEdition @virginmedia Mine is excellent once they replaced the wiring because it was old and now mine never goes off and it’s super fast! The English call centres are great but the Indian and Philippines ones are really bad I avoid them because they just read off scripts!

  • 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?

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I seem to be having BB connection issues here!!!

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    First day as a @vmbusiness customer and been waiting nearly 13 hours for a delivery, that hasn’t arrived… #greatstart #herewego

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Sort my order out please.Due on Monday, not delivered.6 calls Tuesday & Wednesday,told it would be here today, yet Yodel tracking shows they haven’t got it from you.1st week as a @virginmedia customer 😡. Worst of all handlers have made me feel like it’s my problem #woefulservice

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Waiting for delivery of hub equipment to start using internet.Due Monday & it’s still not here. 1st week as a Virgin customer. Made 6 calls bounced from person to person,made to feel like it’s my fault! Spoken to Yodel & tracking details show they haven’t received it from Virgin

  • jwilko_87 Jonathan Wilkinson (@jwilko_87) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your internet service in Gateshead for the last few days has been terrible. Keep losing connection here 🙄

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia Technical support to discuss slow speeds

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Your having a laugh my download speed is 0.03 mbs and its still crap!!!!

  • 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!

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I will call, again and again. Would be nice if you called me tbh. I’ll escalate or just cancel and go to another provider

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Its the wifi thats gone down. I am currently using a wired connection.

  • 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.

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia I called and the service I received was unbelievably poor. My first experience as a Virgin customer. Considering cancellation now.

  • mmcvickers Michael McVickers (@mmcvickers) reported from Consett, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Hi, it’s not an outage problem as it’s been like this for months and months

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have called them twice today still having issues

  • TraiAnfield Trai Anfield (@TraiAnfield) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • peterdonnellykk Peter Donnelly (@peterdonnellykk) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I've had 9 calls with Virgin in the last 2 weeks totalling more than 2 hours on the phone. The change in installation date was never mentioned on the phone before it happened. After that I was told multiple times that I could get an earlier date after the site survey was done

  • parker_james James Parker (@parker_james) reported

    @virginmedia Difficult to agree with that, considering the last 9 people we have spoken to have done the same thing, and still no resolution!

  • PoizonVengeance Lucy Bingham (@PoizonVengeance) reported

    @virginmedia Was it keeps going on and off again I called up and was told that there are signal and connection issues and that it should be sorted within the next 24 hours

  • Matt_UrService Matthew Barnes (@Matt_UrService) reported

  • DweebShibby Paul Robinson (@DweebShibby) reported

    @virginmedia Wait so I'm paying you to expand the network to serve more customers and give new customers a lower price? Yet my service has not changed?

  • TheHighRishMan Errs Matt (@TheHighRishMan) reported

    @VirginMediaIE Just being able to download something does not = good service I'm paying for a constant connection not intermittent connection genuinely disgusted by the higher copping out and blaming us for a 3 week issue this is obviously a issue between our node and virgin media head end

  • dooberry14 Ryan (@dooberry14) reported

    @virginmedia with yet another out of whack cost increase for a big standard service.

  • TwitTwockBTC Mickey Flynn (@TwitTwockBTC) reported

    @virginmedia have issued a default for £155 on my credit file for contract that was cancelled within the 14 day cooling off period due to poor service.I’ve tried emailing, calling, complaints form on their website and live chat and nobody has dealt with this for a year now @Ofcom
