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

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Worst customer service I've ever encountered. On multiple occasions over several years. Rudeness and lack of knowledge being the main issues, along with the usual very long hold times.

  • ian_safc_1974 Ian (@ian_safc_1974) reported from Dunston, England

    @lisadunn1978 @virginmedia They sound awful. Is broadband itself any better

  • jameshedges4 James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No known issues. It’s only wireless speeds. There is no excuse for this, it happens to me almost everyday. I would like to discuss it with someone as I tried at the weekend and was completely fobbed off by your service team. I pay nearly £50 a month and often have to use my 4G

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Media. I ditched the TV part of the bundle years ago, but am still currently paying £50.99 p/m for 150mb broadband and a phone we never use. Come September, when you increase it by another £3.50 it’ll have gone from £37 in Dec 16 to £54.49 - A ridiculous 47% INCREASE......

  • ewhittle_ Emily Whittle (@ewhittle_) reported from Walker Gate, England

    The worst part about being an adult is having to do things like talk to the brain dead people behind virgin media

  • rl_chris_higham Chris Higham (@rl_chris_higham) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia £20 a month 'existing customer' penalty on the best you can offer me Vs the best new customer deal is just too much, afraid that's a cancellation from a 10 years loyal customer. £240 is a lot of money!

  • Jonnycushlow Jonathan Cushlow (@Jonnycushlow) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your broadband is garbage. Forever puttin the price up and your service gets worse #sky incoming

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Media service. I waited 30 mins to speak to someone, after selecting an electronic option to cancel. "I'm not authorised to cancel". Now back on hold. Virgin has the worst customer service of any company I've interacted with. It's insane.

  • ThunderbirdWPC Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Tried to pm you but won’t let me. Someone coming Wednesday now to sort problem

  • fredspoon pipkins (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @DMcCSE17 @virginmedia All phone signal in London is terrible including public Wi-fi. I love when I come back to north east for a decent signal and decent Wi-fi speed :)

  • Darylx Daryl (@Darylx) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Can you please help me. I've rang twice to upgrade my TiVo box free upgrade. Tried online can't do it. First time cut off. Web chat I tried was told I had to phone.40 mins in second time lady was having system issues so transferred me and guess what I was cut off

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia can you please advise how I can easily cancel my service ASAP. It's (deliberately) impossible to contact your company by phone.

  • d_n_g_x 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆🐸 (@d_n_g_x) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It was @Stacey_MW_WL with the problem

  • ThomasMcGowan1 Thomas McGowan (@ThomasMcGowan1) reported from Gateshead, England

    right shower of shite the customer service from @virginmedia paying for monthly for nothing 😡🤬

  • Stickings90 Graeme Stickings (@Stickings90) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I have received from you an incomplete text message regarding changes to Virgin Media Project and Mobile Rescue Tech support, as from 31 August, but does not say what. What are these changes

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia its for my broad band service

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your help with this, but can you please refrain from using foreign call centres; it is incredibly frustrating trying to explain to someone that you’re unhappy about your bill, who interprets this as a technical problem.......

  • CazzaW CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Cancelled @virginmedia Starplayz subscription as they have no channel number and no app to search for programmes! Crazy and call centre staff don’t understand why this is a problem. Don’t waste £5 a month.

  • Stickings90 Graeme Stickings (@Stickings90) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia what was my TiVo box meant to be updating. I woke in the night to find it on and the screen saying it was updating software, don't switch off. I rang 151 to find out, but the automatic system said there was an issue and sent a restart pulse 1/2

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia This has never been suggested before; you’ve been quite happy just to take the money and then hit me with an annual increase way above inflation. I’ve spoken to customer services on a couple of times in the last couple of months, and the offers have been quite frankly insulting.

  • TonyNinja1 Tony Ninja (@TonyNinja1) reported

    @virginmedia My only resolution is to close my phone, TV and broadband account.

  • CalcyBones Calum Fraser (@CalcyBones) reported

    4 months after trespassing and damaging my property for a fibre installation in the wrong place I’m still no further forward in resolving the issue. Disgraceful customer service @virginmedia. Happy to talk but I need you to respond!. Otherwise legal action will need to begin.

  • HelenRuggles3 Helen Ruggles (@HelenRuggles3) reported

    @spursKS @garycymro @virginmedia We went to Bt right mess up with installation bill 87 37.49 37.49 £ 165 😳Happy with service but cover up in resolution team it’s shocking did ask if they are x virgin staff lol

  • davedawes Dave Dawes (@davedawes) reported

    @virginmedia I tried and it was immediately closed as "resolved". Your complaint system is non-existent. There does not appear to be any senior manager at @virginmedia who actually takes responsibility for dealing with customer problems and complaints.

  • westborokevin Kevin Robinson (@westborokevin) reported

    @virginmedia I've been trying to amend my package for 2 days via WhatsApp message system. Its an awful way of doing business. Bot doesn't understand anything except yes or no answers

  • TonyNinja1 Tony Ninja (@TonyNinja1) reported

    @virginmedia My only resolution is to close my VM phone, broadband and tv account.

  • Olly_TCGaming Oliver Turp (@Olly_TCGaming) reported

    @virginmedia Cancelled contract and switched provider. Customer service said contract was cancelled but we still being billed. Now getting emails to say we have a new bundle despite not taking one out. Despite returning equipment and providing tracking number, we are being harassed via SMS.

  • Olly_TCGaming Oliver Turp (@Olly_TCGaming) reported

    @virginmedia 29th Sept - BT engineer switched the line over and since then our provider has been plusnet. 12th Oct - High risk elderly disabled customer had no working phone line and therefore no fall alarm and outside communication for EIGHT DAYS.

  • NikiRodgers7 NIKI (@NikiRodgers7) reported

    @virginmedia just had services installed yesterday & having serious issues already. Nearly an hour & a half on the phone & now waiting on a call back. Customer service is atrocious.

  • ChimeWhistle Chime Whistle Publishing (@ChimeWhistle) reported

    @virginmedia The issue is the same as @whippletom .
