Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Middlesbrough, England

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

  • Blenky64 John Blenkinsopp (@Blenky64) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I’ve messaged that number twice - first time nearly three hours ago and still no acknowledgement. I think you need to sort this out or all your customers will leave come on - please let me know why there is no customer service response three hours is hopeless

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I have, many many times and it always comes back to same, yet I'm down about 80mbs this morning, I've restarted my router today already because I switched my laptop on (everytime), and I can also crash my router with 1 device almost at will

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia @grimegran You have been awful since the lockdown, yet I keep seeing these hopeful ads that just wind me up as anyone currently on you service knows that it is currently a joke. Yesterday was the first time since the lockdown started that I didnt lose connection at all or have router fail

  • Erinshore11 Geoff Wright (@Erinshore11) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia Spoke too soon back in off again. Obviously nothing to do with modem as it’s new, same issues as before this time off for a fair amount of time now, is there an issue imnn in in TS8 location.

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Gone through apps,web,hours on phone even my nieces partner who works for you but system down. I am really getting annoyed

  • rachsclarke rachel clarke (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Tried this, 3 days to reply per message. Pathetic really, good customer service could compensate for poor phone service but I don’t get either. I get the VM sim for free with my package, I’d rather pay an extra £20 a month elsewhere to make sure I don’t miss important calls

  • FatAbbott Ste Addison (@FatAbbott) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @SamMorrison19 @virginmedia What kit did you have when it was intermittent, I've got same issues

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Done, I'm now down about 360mbs from where my speed normally is, and just checked, yep can still crash my router using my laptop without trying

  • rachsclarke rachel clarke (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia No as I’m unable to get through 1. Because my signal is horrendous and 2. Because your lines are constantly closed. It seems easier for me to just go back to @EE as I need reliability, I’ve missed too many important phone calls since using VM.

  • rachsclarke rachel clarke (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @EE Would be more than happy to rejoin EE even without my NHS discount if someone would actually call me back. Don’t think I can take another week of important missed calls from @virginmedia - yes I know they use the EE network but not the enhanced 4G+ side 🙄

  • DanielHill21 Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia need help

  • Emfozz Em (@Emfozz) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Ironic you try and blame customers. It’s your service not my house or my equipment or how I’m using it.

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I dont mean to be rude but I can tell you now the option to text was not on the "contact us" page I visited on your website, but I see it's just a text option to the live chat anyway so this will be a waste of my time but texting now

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get problem with my box sorted for 3 weeks now. Cuts out sound only. Still not sorted and all info followed. Gone beyond frustrated now simply unacceptable customer service I want to know where else I can complain to or where can get sorted

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia @bethanymiah_ I'll save you both some time there and tell you now that you will be able to make no difference whatsoever, the hubs have always been awful and it seems they have got worse since lockdown, maybe they can catch Covid too

  • Erinshore11 Geoff Wright (@Erinshore11) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia Service back after a engineer visit last night, with another coming again today. After being with Virgin for years, the Tv and internet service these past 6 months has been poor, surely I should get a reduction on my bill.

  • Emfozz Em (@Emfozz) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia shock as broadband is down again. Yet you’ll still expect full payment from everyone.

  • Emfozz Em (@Emfozz) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia I’m not going to waste time in doing that, I’ve worked in telecommunications, I know how your process works, I also know you’ll try and pass the book to customers before taking blame because the tiniest speck of dust can effect my WiFi signal. So it’s fine.

  • Bradley_19_ Bradley Osborne (@Bradley_19_) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @RunnerVi @virginmedia Use their email/live support found on their website.

  • Erinshore11 Geoff Wright (@Erinshore11) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    Had visit No 2 from Virgin, a couple of nice chaps,chased cables and removed cable still connected to the network that's not been used for years,new modem,new leads,new remote and the supervisor's number with a call back in a week, all good so far well done @virginmedia

  • Alex_raj8 Alex (@Alex_raj8) reported

    @virginmedia Still not working. The white light on my hub is showing but then the WiFi symbol is flashing green. The virgin plug in our socket that connects our broadband and tv has a red light on it which I don’t think was there before.

  • tbradman Tony Bradman (@tbradman) reported

    @virginmedia Every time I check the service status it says there are no known problems.

  • CaptainPencoed not Manc but Lanc ! (@CaptainPencoed) reported

    @ThatChris1209 @HunterGodson @virginmedia Ever tried getting out of verging media? If you know how, clue me in. The website spins you into a find out more/do it now loop that never ends.

  • nanosheath Damo (@nanosheath) reported

    @virginmedia is there a service outage at the moment? London.

  • lucy___loo Lucy Loo 💙 (@lucy___loo) reported

    @virginmedia We are now 2 months on - and no resolution or compensation provided following a service outage from 2nd - 12 Nov, then intermittent service from 12-16 Nov. Neighbours on the estate have been refunded already. Do I now need to escalate this to the @OmbudServices

  • datsee zambuka (@datsee) reported

    @virginmedia No dial tone , phoned using my mobile several times, no resolution, several complaints on your website, home phone not working now for several weeks

  • NCFC_MAD Samuel (@NCFC_MAD) reported

    If anyone's looking at changing their internet or phone, don't go to @virginmedia! Single handedly the worst company I have ever dealt with!!

  • charlotteroche1 Charlotte Tucker (@charlotteroche1) reported

    @virginmedia can you advise if there is an issue in Dublin 15 cannot get online the last hour, working from home with 2 kids trying to learn online HELP

  • tmcgeehan93 Teighlor (@tmcgeehan93) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve tried to find the online chat but not success... I’m a new customer and haven’t received my unique code like the email said to go and collect my new hub? This was over a week ago?

  • Char_Maulson Charli Maulson (@Char_Maulson) reported

    @virginmedia Been contacting for the last two weeks & logged the complaint last Thursday. We have intermittent loss multiple times a day, having to reboot etc to get it working. Meaning I’m having to carry out work video conferencing via personal hotspot from my mobile
