Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Gateshead, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Gateshead and nearby locations:
-
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

Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England@markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

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
-
Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?
-
LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service
-
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.
-
Craig Smart 💙 (@CraigSmartUN) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia trying to set up online account ready for install on Wednesday, verification email expired. Clicking send new email but no email is being sent so can’t verify email. Please help!

-
Michael Westcombe - Stalin's Canary 🐣 (@AngryMichaelW) reportedIs Virgin Media down? Their server, I mean?
-
Stephen Hampson (@StephenHampson) reported@virginmedia brilliant. Less than 12 months before the remote control on the streaming box packs up. And you haven't listened to feedback otherwise it would be one of the options on the help screen. What an awful company this is. Yes I've changed batteries.
-
JR (@Dadyougeek) reported@appleblossomBe @virginmedia @LutzSchuler Nope they was more than happy to cancel it today!
-
Will (@William_fleet_) reported@upmyallie This is why my mum left Virgin Media and went over to Vodafone; it is so much better, and we never have any issues.
-
Debzy G 🦅🐦⬛🦉 (@brummiedebz) reported@virginmedia I mean it seems like quite a few places are having the same issue
-
JR (@Dadyougeek) reported@virginmedia Is this an automated tweet because you’ve said this many times and not responded to my message! A bit like your engineers turning up to fix things this is a shambles
-
Abbey (@Barbiknow) reported@virginmedia In the kitchen it’s very bad, bad in the bathroom, worse upstairs and it’s very frustrating. I just upgraded to a faster bandwidth but I haven’t seen a single difference except for that I am paying more money.
-
Sarah (@sarahvkeenan) reported@virginmedia who can I contact about my broadband not working for 4 days?
-
james mcgarry (@2124Jim) reported@virginmedia Outages do occur and that's understandable, what is beyond ridiculous is your customer service team. To tell people there's no outage showing when near enough a whole town is down is insulting.
-
appleblossomB (@appleblossomBe) reported@Dadyougeek @virginmedia @LutzSchuler Your best bet is to Phone them and cancel your subscription and tell them you’re switching . You’ll get through in minutes and they’ll bend over backwards for you & if they don’t , switch !!
