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

  • edginggodout Darren Leigh Arkless (@edginggodout) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

  • leewhttngtn Lee Whittington (@leewhttngtn) reported from Hebburn, England

    Never felt so left down by @virginmedia after years of being a loyal customer my bill has increased by £20pm for no extra services when I rang to cancel I was offered £1 discount! To say I was insulted is an understatement, shocking service loyalty counts for nothing!!! Cancelled

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    More issues with our broadband again today @virginmedia I don’t think we’ve had a full day off broadband for months 🤬 #timetocancel #wasteofmoney

  • M_RashidAmin Mohammed Rashid Amin (@M_RashidAmin) reported from South Shields, England

    @vmbusiness I’ve send a direct message. Im absolutely angry and annoyed by the situation today. Worst customer service experience.

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Yeah & someone promised to call back last week & they never. We’ve had no broadband since yesterday & it keeps acting up

  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I will@go@to ofcom and I will chaffe you for my hourly rate for any time expenses on this disgraceful approach to customer experience when I’ve been a loyal@customer for 15 years

  • RobbyRSSRobot Robby (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Just checking as it calls me your customer and I'm not! 🤣

  • stephwales_ S t e p h . ♡ (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Great what deals you can get when you ring to cancel your contract 👍 @virginmedia a very helpful Hayley in your call centre. Paying less now for more than double what I had before.

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia just the most horrific service ever from you. Your agent agreed a discount due to poor service and to stop me leaving. It now transpires the discount is at the expense of skysportsHD which we did not agree. I’m now having to take it to ofcom because no one can help

  • julieclayevents Julie Clay (@julieclayevents) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Don’t forget to cancel your @virginmedia @skytv package!!!! #nofootball 😢

  • lukejameson17 luke jameson (@lukejameson17) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia honestly get a ******* grip@of your WiFi man ******* joke if my tv has a known problem in my area. Why ******** Is my WiFi ******* down then *****

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia It would help if you read the thread and the attached screenshot. I did email with specific requests under gdpr. That was forwarded within VM and I got a generic dismissive reply which didn't even acknowledge the queries. Further eroding trust in VM

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia It all started as a Blueyonder customer in the '00's.... But actually, no, best not...

  • mrspag47 Elizabeth Pearson (@mrspag47) reported from Stanley, England

    @BT_Openreach can I ask why a 0161 number rings me every day (foreign accent) states he's open reach when apparently this is virgin media!! I hang up

  • lukejameson17 luke jameson (@lukejameson17) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia don’t give a **** what time of year it is but to reset my ******* WiFi 4 bastard times today is a ******* joke, absolute ******* usless ***** man

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    .@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

  • hilly_1986 Iain Hill (@hilly_1986) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Say no known issues. Wired is fine but WiFi all over the house is shocking! Tried moving the hub but can only go so far as it’s restricted by the wires.

  • wal_tastic Christopher Walton (@wal_tastic) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia right how do I going about getting a new router, I've had mine for about 4ys and it keep on dropping signal from phones!!

  • tony_dyson_ Tony Dyson (@tony_dyson_) reported

    @virginmedia Ah yes. The customer “keeping the service provider posted”. Pretty much like your monitoring and fault reporting systems then. Clueless !

  • howareyamatey Dude (@howareyamatey) reported

    @virginmedia John, my point is we have done the diagnostic tests multiple times before and not got any resolution yet you are asking me to do them again

  • jiginthebox Richard Esdale (@jiginthebox) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried ALL channels and still unable to speak to someone to solve this issue... You will no doubt soon be on to me for my missed payment so can discuss it then!!

  • Weezy_IPD WEEZY (@Weezy_IPD) reported

    @funkilla @virginmedia Agreed funks always say they doing maintenance and said issue will be fixed but they dont tell us and take our money every and make us pay high prices

  • StokeNewton SN (@StokeNewton) reported

    @virginmedia I am sure I will be on hold for two hours. Your customer service is non-existent. Can I please deal with this through you.

  • Kevinpaver Kevin Paver (@Kevinpaver) reported

    @MJD9b450 @virginmedia Yeh, it’s just been intermittent for weeks now. Tried boosters etc but it’s still crap. It doesn’t help that we’re both working from home, but still should be ok. Was recommended a better router, which is coming today 👍

  • SylarMagic Sylar (@SylarMagic) reported

    @virginmedia please help me cancel my contract

  • gav_taylor Gavin Taylor (@gav_taylor) reported

    @virginmedia nothing on the service page before/during/after the outage no, and I couldnt run tests cos my hub isnt supported. it was off for a while but less than an hour, something not right your side tho, a neighbour also had loss of service

  • EmmaBabeyy93 Emma Carr (@EmmaBabeyy93) reported

    @virginmedia can you please fix your services for once in your life! Once AGAIN stuck with NO INTERNET OR TV remind me again what I'm paying for this certainly isnt it!! We should all be getting refunds for the time it's been off we dont pay not to use it

  • StokeNewton SN (@StokeNewton) reported

    @virginmedia I did not agree to anything, please let me know who I can talk to, preferably a direct number. This is ridiculous. I never agreed to any contract.
