Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Chester-le-Street and nearby locations:

  • 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

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

  • 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.

  • dodgestweet Matt Dodge Donnelly (@dodgestweet) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

  • 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! 🤣

  • 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

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia what has happened with the service in ne33 4hn area as I have no phone line no internet and no tv service

  • Andymorris74 Andrew Morris ⚽️ (@Andymorris74) reported from South Shields, England

    How about @skytv giving movie channels for free across all platforms @virginmedia @bt_uk and help keep people at home! Come on, do your bit Sky TV 👍

  • fossdog_ Jake Fossey (@fossdog_) reported from Stanley, England

    @virginmedia are genuinely ******* shit

  • 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

  • MarkaMackem Mackem (@MarkaMackem) reported from Seaham, England

    @Flittdog @Jo7Lawton @JackieMayes5 @Adamphayward @finbarr_poland @piersmorgan @virginmedia This particular job is not classed as key as its not a service everyone wants

  • MajorManor lee major (@MajorManor) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia You having service issues in NE15 7PH

  • 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.

  • kieranwby_ Kieran (@kieranwby_) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    4 days running wrang Virgin media regarding my broadband contract hold time of 40 mins then get cut off and in app support doesn’t help or live chat jokes man @virginmedia

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I keep getting message that blueyonder server is down and as such cannot log into VM or get and send emails

  • Marilyn_huartt Marilyn malibu (@Marilyn_huartt) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

  • 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!!

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia emails are not working the solution by Virgin is to log into My virgin media can you tell me how to do this when it is not recognising my log in and your call centres are all closed

  • dipakmoh Deepak Mohan (@dipakmoh) reported from Croydon, England

    Shame!!! You shud terminate your contract with @virginmedia @Virgin @richardbranson

  • redjoker1999 Crypto🃏 (@redjoker1999) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia I'm seriously thinking of holding my direct debit up. it MIGHT stand up in court now. time of service, against time of service PROVIDED. I'm paying for a POOR, POOR service.

  • Sophgrimmy_ soph✌ (@Sophgrimmy_) reported from Wigan, England

    It’s so frustrating when the internet is down for about the 500th time 😬 #virginmedia

  • j2ktu Katie (@j2ktu) reported from March, England

    @virginmedia I’ve purchased the boxing on my main box but want to continue watching in bed but says buy now #help

  • walshi01 Declan (@walshi01) reported from Ealing, England

    @CustomerFirst2 @virginmedia My complaints started long before I deemed the service received unworthy and I am not going to renew a rolling contract simply so I can continue a complaint - natural to leave with these types of issues. Now that I am not technically with them they ignore my attempts at contact

  • dipakmoh Deepak Mohan (@dipakmoh) reported from Croydon, England

    Wish you can apply same passion at @virginmedia . @ItsAdditti has been tweeting about the appealing service she is receiving from your company

  • 3825pat Pat Mccluskey (@3825pat) reported from Dublin City, Leinster

    @ATVIAssist I’m having trouble connecting to the black ops 4 server the last 24 hours . I’m in Dublin Ireland, my provider is virgin media. I’m using a wired connection. I’ve tried all the step reset ps4, powered off internet still not working .

  • nickpeddle234 nasty nick (@nickpeddle234) reported from Harlow, England

    @virginmedia so mums been without tv for 3 days now and you can’t get in touch with customer service. Very bad

  • ctollan ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕡𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕋𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕒𝕟 (@ctollan) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    Out @virginmedia contract ends on 1st March. Virgin are saying we need to give them 30 days and can’t cancel until 21st March. Can they hold make us stay the extra time even though our contract ends on 1st @MartinSLewis #MartinLewisMoneyShow
