Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Boldon Colliery, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Boldon Colliery and nearby locations:

  • 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.

  • StevieWalls Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    “You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • lintoniosmythe Iinton Smith (@lintoniosmythe) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

  • Deggsytweets Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I have to wait 24hrs & call back not only is the red light an issue, the WiFi has now stopped working!

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

    @virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!

  • 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.

  • tenchylad Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

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

    @virginmedia She’s sent me a service receipt out

  • seldomseenkid16 Georgina McGowan (@seldomseenkid16) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia can you help with my phone services not currently working

  • 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.

  • ZicoPete Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia what channels do I need to go down for a stable connection check in my area, two days in a row internet keeps dropping not ideal when working from home. Thanks.

  • NevilleLishman Neville Lishman (@NevilleLishman) reported from Durham, England

    5 hrs now. Just rude @virginmedia just rude. Clearly little of your astronomically charges is spent on your customer service department. It's a recruitment Sargent for @skytv

  • 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.

  • 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 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

  • 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.

  • scott_mac_rae Don’t vote Conservative or buy the S*n - GE now (@scott_mac_rae) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s the fact the technician promised us his manager would call us to sort it out for next week and this didn’t happen. Not even a customer yet and the lack of candour started already ?

  • Duane01925469 Duane (@Duane01925469) reported

    @virginmedia Installation? What are you talking about? I had it installed ages ago it just stopped working, it’s been going on 4 weeks that it’s been down actually read the first message

  • anthony69620634 anthony (@anthony69620634) reported

    @virginmedia You me be aware of this issue, but that issue fault is not being dealt with, 10 days to ‘fix’ this fault within my area…it is beyond any help now, and I will be contacting ombudsman and trading standards.

  • Duane01925469 Duane (@Duane01925469) reported

    @virginmedia No….. it says just internet, I think it’s a seperate issue to the one listed. The WHOLE CAB has nothing going to it, it needs redoing from where it’s linked from.

  • Sarah_Lowery88 Sarah Knowles (@Sarah_Lowery88) reported

    @virginmedia hi, are there problems with landlines in WN4 area? We have no dial tone, done all the usual checks. Thanks

  • RuthDaltonR1D1 Ruth Dalton (@RuthDaltonR1D1) reported

    @virginmedia we have had a lot of difficulty recently with promises made by your customer retention staff, but not kept, re a change of contract. Again no response, despite being told someone would come back to us with specifics. Can you please help?

  • mickyjayuk MJ (@mickyjayuk) reported

    Finally gave up with @virginmedia utterly crap hub and got my own mesh system. Perfect WiFi coverage over my entire house within minutes. Virgin, your equipment is god awful. #hub5

  • DedosDrvs DERVi$E (@DedosDrvs) reported

    @virginmedia what's happening with your service at EN1 postcode area. Still no TV no broadband second time in a week now and it's taking ages to get fixed

  • Misssripper Lauren (@Misssripper) reported

    @virginmedia Thursday, they still don’t have a phone, the adaptor isn’t compatible with their existing kit and the engineer hasn’t picked up/contacted back to assist. Let’s hope there’s not an emergency shall we as can’t even call emergency services

  • Steve47538708 Steve (@Steve47538708) reported
