Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Gateshead and nearby locations:
-
NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England@virginmedia The signal struggles to get to each room in the house. My son complains as he games. No chance of streaming music in the bathroom. It isn't a big house either. The deal I'm on currently was negotiated when I spoke to disconnection team rather than intro offer.
-
Gareth Miller 🇺🇦 (@geemiller71) reported from Washington, England@ee no signal on 5g in @IcelandFoods wife 4g on @virginmedia full signal.
-
Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandHello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England@_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.
-
Bella (@SharBella72) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia internet is down, again in Sunderland area.
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.
-
Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.
-
LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England@virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.
-
EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

-
Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, EnglandOn hold with @virginmedia for 20 minutes then they decided to cut my call.. great service. 👍
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia No help needed, thanks - just praising the deal I was given last night 🙌

Paul&Donna (@paul_donna93) reported@virginmedia three days in a row with awful/no fibre broadband! Help!
-
Sarah Spittles (@sspittles) reported@virginmedia many customers in Broseley are struggling with intermittent issues with internet service (this was before the heat 🥵) Your online service status test doesn’t appear to be working and can’t find our kit (we are using it, it’s here!) please sort the issue.
-
james cullen (@Jamescullen2732) reported@virginmedia @JamieGBarry Its the most stupid thing that they all do that. Sky wanted 128 from me after paying them 68 for a year so I moved to virgin for the same price.
-
Mary (@kanyonatic) reported@virginmedia had issues with internet said they were sorting it and it would be ok by 6 pm well now it’s 02:39 and still no internet !!!!
-
GR-Bear🏆x55 (@GR_BEAR1979) reported@virginmedia @PeteUK7 Horrible Company !! Will never go back to them. After their 18 month introductory offer, they turned into absolute ***** !! Even when I left the chased me for all sorts
-
irons1de (@irons1de1) reported@JamieGBarry @virginmedia Having the same issue with @virginmedia I just have the internet with them and they have just doubled my price and won’t offer anything where as a new customer can get the same deal for just over £20 it’s disgusting no incentive to remain a customer with them
-
Angeltt (@Angeltt_tt) reported@PeteUK7 @IDHDRUM @virginmedia Win95 wouldve taken 3 weeks, not 3 months, theyre lying ******* trying to save face for their disgusting behaviour. Theyre predators, mis-selling + overcharging for services they simply arent (+ never) providing + their service as a whole is worse than running on timed dial up.
-
Ed61 (@Ed6114) reported@virginmedia where’s the mute button on the 360 remote so I don’t have to listen to that good awful advert banging on about how good it is, when it isn’t, just needs muting. Hopefully I won’t have to watch it forever.

Danzino (@Danzino0) reported@virginmedia fix your wifi please
-
Biohazardboy (@Biohazardboy2) reported@virginmedia @PeteUK7 Used to punt cable and phones in Virgin media years ago. The bereavement process has always been dogshit. The amount of customers coming into store with this same complaint was insane. This was 2014-2019. Never changed.
