Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Gateshead, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Gateshead and nearby locations:
-
Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it
-
NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandTime for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?
-
David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia I’ve tried to use the add-on service as being a broadband customer I’m able to download to the O2 app however I cannot sign in as I do not have a mobile number and it will not accept my landline, can you help
-
Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England@_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.
-
LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Ryton, England@_ItsLewis18_ @virginmedia I managed to get onto live ch at t and they have done something to fix it. Thank you

liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England@virginmedia trying to pay my Internet bill and its saying all my information is wrong??can you help
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.
-
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
-
Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England@virginmedia disgusting slow speeds AGAIN in NE27 Cant wait for my contract end
-
Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported from Chester-le-Street, England“You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia
-
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.

liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now
-
Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England@OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.
-
Liam (Tinybuddy) (@liam_Tinybuddy) reported from Newburn, England@virginmedia why do I keep getting texts about my spending cap I don't even have one can you please help
-
liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia @virginhelp what the hell is going on I don't have any data no phone calls nothing help please got use my home internet
-
NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England@virginmedia You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it? Spoke 18 months ago about signal. Was told it would be looked at if I agreed to renew. Once renewed was told WiFi is not guaranteed so tough.

-
Lisa Allen (@lovelylisaj) reported@virginmedia hi, my mum got a call supposedly from you about the router being slow. I took over and I don’t think it was legit. They were asking me to switch off the router and put it on again. I ended the call as I was suspicious. Internet speed is fine.
-
Lisa (@LisaRacheal) reportedWorst company ever @virginmedia They say the same thing over and over again instead of just sending an engineer to actually fix it. I don’t work for you, you take my money so provide the service
-
Chris Davis (@cdavo25) reported@virginmedia Send one of your 'engineers' to come round and remove this internet because they cant fix a thing 5 weeks this has been going on now and we're lied to consistently! We're sick to death of it plus we're unable to watch we have paid for! Its embarrassing
-
rhi (@travichughes) reported@j_ball13 @virginmedia when my mum died she was the primary account holder of our t3sc0 mobile family plan. instead of letting us switch our dad to the named person on the account, they cut our contracts off and left us with no working signal at all. absolute rubbish, i think they even put a block on
-
Yogendra Singh (@Yogendras41) reported@virginmedia It's always broadband issue in Mansfield Uk almost every month 2 or 3 days why I am paying bill if always has the issues so NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ANY NEW USER go with another broadband services
-
MrBazza 🎬 (@MrBazza) reported@O2 I have 3 mobile lines alongside volt package @VirginMedia broadband and an open complaint about contract rates. Your app is quoting me much more than what I currently pay! With Volt double data, I only need a low base plan. Please DM me to sort a fair deal.
-
Jackie (@boomerangjf) reported@virginmedia your service is diabolical ! We are still experiencing intermittent/reduction in service after being told it would be working properly from 29 July. I assume you will be expecting a reduction in payment from me?
-
Richard O'Shea (@RichardOShea) reported@virginmedia I have a Virgin TV V6 Box with lots of tivo recordings. I received an email today stating that I need to upgrade as my v6 service will stop soon. Please advise when, so I can plan ahead. Thanks.
-
MH (@MhMyxacc444) reported@j_ball13 @virginmedia They are awful.
-
Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reported@virginmedia This was supposed to be an escalation, which turned out to be another utter waste of time. The team handling social doesn’t even check basics/fundamentals (like there is already a WiFi pod issued that doesn’t work) and in the end – outcome nothing – you have already logged a complaint therefore wait – you as a customer are not important to us, your situation doesn’t matter. I wonder if there was another choice of good broadband in this area why would anyone ever go with @Virgin.
