Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Blyth, England

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

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I was told to log into the Myo2 app to change it myself, but I have been sent no login details and of course if the email address is incorrect it won’t be recognised if I try to register. O2 said we would receive texts with updates on number port timeline but had no communication

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia trying to pay my Internet bill and its saying all my information is wrong??can you help

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

  • ScottN1504 Scott Noble (@ScottN1504) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Has anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible

  • 40yearsofhurt JOP (@40yearsofhurt) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia won't even let me over the automated service

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

    @virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

  • NETheatreGuide NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England

    @virginmedia You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it? Spoke 18 months ago about signal. Was told it would be looked at if I agreed to renew. Once renewed was told WiFi is not guaranteed so tough.

  • Rainbowztwit Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

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

    Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    was in my old home for 2 year with @virginmedia never had any problems now moved into my new home TV gone off gotta wait 5 days for it foxed broadband keeps dropping NOT GOOD I know we all have teething problems bit this is complete joke

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

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

  • NETheatreGuide NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England

    @virginmedia The signal struggles to get to each room in the house. My son complains as he games. No chance of streaming music in the bathroom. It isn't a big house either. The deal I'm on currently was negotiated when I spoke to disconnection team rather than intro offer.

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia No help needed, thanks - just praising the deal I was given last night 🙌

  • ashleemcc Ashlee Mccarthy (@ashleemcc) reported

    @virginmedia @Matthew_Wright Well I’ve been waiting for help since last year - maybe my name doesn’t fit!

  • magpie1862 Dean Thomas (@magpie1862) reported

    @virginmedia Help I need to contact you regarding not renewing my contract. No ones answering the phone and there's no e mail address. When contract ends in March I will cancel all payments. I'm fingers crossed awaiting a response

  • C_JRowley Charlotte Rowley (@C_JRowley) reported

    @virginmedia 1 of 3: Thank you for responding. Yesterday they were told their job had been put on the roster 4 times & never completed, Friday 2 of your employees sat in their van for hours, said they would be back Saturday & never arrived.

  • Sarah97851167 S S (@Sarah97851167) reported

    @virginmedia please could I dm you? I’m having issues with internet and can’t get it resolved over the phone

  • Official_SBerty Bert (@Official_SBerty) reported

    @Danny_McMoomins Worked in a Virgin Media Call Centre, there was a Royal Mail Postman working within the centre, wore the uniform the lot, only Postie in Swansea that never saw the rain or the inside of the mail centre! Even went on strike with the lads when they wanted better working conditions

  • 6THIAGOAT6 THIAGOAT 💪 (@6THIAGOAT6) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah, and it says there's no none issues but there clearly is as my internet was fine before last Wednesday

  • od_neil Neil Od (@od_neil) reported

    @virginmedia They are now saying 2nd march. Why can I not be a priority and they keep referring to the issue as being in the house. It's not indoors and I can't understand why this is not being logged correctly. I feel that 1 of 2 things will occur. No one arrives or not fixed.

  • DarkMondo DarkMondo (@DarkMondo) reported

    @virginmedia Your service page says there is no issue but when I call it you guys apparently there’s a issue and won’t be resolved until the 25th meaning the issue would have been going on for 10 days. SHOCKING

  • Sim_Alastair SimAlastair (@Sim_Alastair) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, called via the landline. I've never had a call like this before, and I don't believe it was a coincidence that I have just updated my 'prefered contact method' with VM 30 minutes earlier.
