Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Newcastle upon Tyne, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Newcastle upon Tyne and nearby locations:

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

    @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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • 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 👍

    @virginmedia This Is the email: Resolution This is our final offer, and we're sorry it's not what you were looking for. Since you declined the resolution, this email confirms that you can take your complaint to CISAS for independent review.

  • planet_dan Daniel S (@planet_dan) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t use your service anymore. Wifi is intermittent every day. Had to hotspot my phone just to work. The virgin media service in this area is #terrible. Lots of people have left and gone to sky. Why is the service so very bad??? #bbcwatchdog #skyuk

  • HMCWathome H 💙 (@HMCWathome) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, we did. We ran a couple of tests. Eventually it came on again. We also had a period of outage for a short time this morning

  • kilkiefilms kilkiefilms (@kilkiefilms) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, service status claims no outages. Ran the test which says there’s a network issue “caused by interference on the cabling coming into your home,” which happened last week too, for a few hours, but resolved itself.

  • jenbritten2 Jennifer Britten (@jenbritten2) reported

    @virginmedia I will do, thanks. My major concern right now is that I have an online exam scheduled for next weekend and am very worried that the broadband will drop out again part way through causing an automatic fail & then I’ll have to redo it (hopefully without having to pay again!)

  • amyspall Amy Spall (@amyspall) reported

    @virginmedia just had a ridiculous call with your CS where I couldn’t get into my account because they were asking for a password that has never been set up and a direct debit date that also hasn’t been set up yet. No other way to access account. New customer not happy.

  • joybrenda Brenda Franco (@joybrenda) reported

    @virginmedia can someone please answer my query regarding accessing my email from your web page. I need to know if its another system outrage or issue with my chromebook. whats happening had 2 landline outrages in the last 10 days or so. maybe its time to leave virgin.

  • JemmaSK81 Jemma Kerr (@JemmaSK81) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not working on my phone. I’m going to try my laptop

  • EllieBick1 Ellie Bick (@EllieBick1) reported

    @virginmedia I've now been told that it'll cost me £240 to cancel the contract that I didn't sign or agree to or ask for...

  • kilkiefilms kilkiefilms (@kilkiefilms) reported

    @virginmedia Hi is there an outage in Glasgow? No internet for eight hours and counting.
