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

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @lisadunn1978 @virginmedia I have just had hell on and demanded to speak to a manager. At first I was told there was no issue in our area and it was the router then the manager has told me that there is a problem in our area

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I am sick of contacting yourselves regarding it. Your company does not seem to know which department I need to speak to. One minute It's customer care, then movers, then disconnections, who pass me back to customer care. #notaclue #virginmediasaga

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @anemoneproject @virginmedia @virgeinmedia The account is suspended now. I'm going to guess a disgruntled customer!

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I have the App but having it confirm what I already know is no help whatsoever. Instead of investing in Apps that confirm your service is not fit for purpose why not invest in providing an unfailing service to customers. Currently you take money for services you can’t deliver

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I have informed the manager that I wanted to make a complaint and he has noted it. I am just starting to calm down now

  • gordysocceruk gordon (@gordysocceruk) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia How long is this outage going to last been off for neatly 4 hours.

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia @jeffsprogress It didn’t work for a day and you think it is a great experience and good service. With that attitude no wonder we get such a shit service

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No sorry I'm meaning the Internet on my virgin mobile phone is slow

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Back up and working again I look forward to the next time your service fails - the worst service I’ve experienced since the demise of dial up internet and party line telephones 👎

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia I didn’t miss your point I just do t agree with it - if we pay for service everyday it should work every single day. I do not consider any failure to be a good service

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    Looks like @virginmedia are just as rubbish as @BTtv their rubbish service has been failing all night making watching catchup TV a right pain looks like I need another provider

  • gilly562 Gill Anderson (@gilly562) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia no virgin mobile service, can’t make calls, can’t text or receive. No 4G. Been like this for an hour!! PLEASE CAN SOMEONE AT VIRGIN RESPOND!!! Lots of unhappy customers

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    For all the poor sods like me who had nothing but trouble today! #VirginMedia #Virginmediaoutage

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It was just internet TV that day but today all your services telephone, TV (all channels) and the broadband are repeatedly failing - no idea why I get billed for such poor service I mean the phone FFS do you think it’s 1984!

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia And no I can’t match it Virgin Media fails almost every week, we have a whole other level of shit service compared to you 👎

  • scottilderton Scott Ilderton (@scottilderton) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia on hold for 46 mins so far having select options to cancel. The guy the system put me through to cant do this🙄 So i’m back on hold what horrific service #operationkeepthemallonhold

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia I changed to Virgin because BT would drop out regularly in the middle of the Moto GP. Used to have a great service with Sky but they charge an extra 30 something quid for BT Sport

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Tomorrow. This has been going on for over two weeks intermittent but the way I was treated was not the way to treat a loyal customer

  • Clarquey Simon Clark (@Clarquey) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Hi @virginmedia. Trying to call, text, WhatsApp my wife today attempting to sort out our children etc and completely unable to. My contract has just been increased. Pretty shocking service and I'm paying more! I would expect some compensation at the very least 😡 #VirginOutage

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia And our Virgin TV has failed again your service truly is shite and a waste of my money looks like we are left with terrestrial TV through our always reliable tv aerial again you should be deeply ashamed of your outrageously poor service 👎

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • kenket1 Kenny Kettings (@kenket1) reported

    @virginmedia After 4 calls to VM and an email to your executive team, if they can't solve it then what hope have I got. All I'm asking is an update. Something VM don't seem to be able to provide. What kind of service are you providing?

  • ls_1983 Lee Stewart (@ls_1983) reported

    @virginmedia No nothing there. It’s an intermittent issue. Luckily 5 hours later it’s not happening but it’s the same bullshit all the time!

  • wharfyoung jordan (@wharfyoung) reported from Poplar, England

    just spent 3 hours on the phone with @virginmedia trying to get an early termination fee waived (for an account which they cancelled) only to be passed to about 8 departments, and then be told it’s not possible and I’d have to make a complaint.. make it make sense pls

  • cypherite Cypherite (@cypherite) reported

    @virginmedia Really not sure why an agent applying a discount to my bill has resulted in the price going up by over £12. I’d appreciate help to fix it though?

  • TallMarkB Mark Bennett (@TallMarkB) reported

    @virginmedia “As soon as possible” ... this has been going on for 2months affecting many in our street. The website states no issue and if we are patient enough to wait for an hour to call you, a level 4 issue has been found but this was supposed to be fixed by 25/2 ... we are still waiting.

  • galleryantiques Gallery Antiques, Vintage and Collectables (@galleryantiques) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it was from you, as it came from the same number that sends me texts when my allowance is refreshed. I don't get a discount. I just pay a monthly bill (out of contract since Sep 2020). The tariff is all I pay for since then. The £7 discount is showing when I login to my 1/2

  • See55345854 lioness (@See55345854) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia yes, the fact that this is our 3rd complaint and you dont help. Working from home where internet is required... lost a days of work! You need to stop treating customers horribley. Release us from a contract!.@virginmedia

  • Mentalmelodic Anya Kinsella (Anya Fay) (@Mentalmelodic) reported from Rugby, England

    @virginmedia That's never been offered to us when we've called. We've spent £60+ buying 2 boosters of our own, whilst telephone operators have assured us that our current router and plan should be enough to cover.

  • The_Irishkieran Kieran (@The_Irishkieran) reported

    The clubs/FAI will lie down and accept this bullshit, as usual. Clearing up the costs around the WatchLOI service should be a priority for clubs (how much did RTE spend ?) Hopefully the FAI can convince Virgin Media to do a highlights show. They might care and do a better job.

  • AlexSings94 Alex (@AlexSings94) reported

    @JW09019313 @virginmedia They're shocking and I wish my partner hadn't just signed a renewal contract, 3rd time in 9 months for me. Internet has been down for 2 hours now but hey, they'll still charge the full amount when it comes to bills though.
