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

  • 67BLADE Mark Bell (@67BLADE) reported from Barlborough, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to an advisor called Gillian from Sheffield and she escalated my numerous complaints on Saturday. Promised a manager call crack but I got nothing . It’s getting to the stage that the best course of action would be to cancel the lot but that won’t get my landline back

  • millersfm2011 Barry Wilkinson (@millersfm2011) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia Well this is a cracking start. A call back tomorrow rescues the situation. Been a virgin customer since broadband came along. Fingers crossed.

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia mandatory internet down again S65

  • 67BLADE Mark Bell (@67BLADE) reported from Chesterfield, England

    @virginmedia I have tried that text service for the last two days. ‘Terri BOT’ is no use. I need to speak to a real person . All that needs doing is the issue of a new bill without the £35 activation fee. This is becoming the worst decision I’ve ever made in relation to switching broadband

  • whittickdiver paul whittick (@whittickdiver) reported from Sprotbrough, England

    @virginmedia after five years of custom you would rather me terminate my contract that provide me with the new router that you promised me as part of my new deal! Diabolical service!

  • statto95 David JS Dawkes-Hall 💙 (@statto95) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    And the 4th time today everything has gone down. How am I meant to run a medical company control room when my Internet keeps dropping out? @virginmedia are you going to pay the company for loss of income which is being suffered? Or me for that matter.....

  • statto95 David JS Dawkes-Hall 💙 (@statto95) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @virginmedia I pay £50 a month for my WiFi and Internet, any particular reason it keeps going down.....??

  • cranworth791 Sam Millington (@cranworth791) reported from Rawmarsh, England

    @virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

  • millersfm2011 Barry Wilkinson (@millersfm2011) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia Hi, Liam said someone would call back tomorrow. No issue with service, just can't have in the new build. The service is not in the area. Let's see if we get the call back tomorrow. Shouldn't treat a leaving customer like ****.

  • ReeceBryan94 Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

  • 67BLADE Mark Bell (@67BLADE) reported from Barlborough, England

    @virginmedia I finally got through to a real person via text today and booked a landline appointment, although It’s not the anytime plan that I wanted . Never had so much trouble switching provider. Almost not worth it.

  • parky1021 simon parkinson (@parky1021) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia WiFi constantly dropping out. How do I fix this plz

  • Ray_Lennox Tom Clark (@Ray_Lennox) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with WiFi in Sheffield. It’s been awful for weeks

  • leannerains Leanne Rebecca (@leannerains) reported from Sheffield, England

    @SkyHelpTeam went to renew our sky package and they quote us £99 for new package deal bye bye sky il cancel our sky package and go somewhere else and maybe try @virginmedia #ripoff

  • 67BLADE Mark Bell (@67BLADE) reported from Barlborough, England

    @virginmedia I had Virgin broadband installed yesterday but need a landline . Unable to get through to customer services. Should have been set up with the broadband . Engineer said I was miss sold the standalone package . Now I’m without a phone.

  • Amy_1867 Amy 🦉 (@Amy_1867) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia whenever I’m on zoom upstairs and away from my route my wifi always seems to drop out. It’s always says my internet connection is unstable. I’ve restarted router etc is there anything else I can do to boost it

  • victimsvoice73 Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    @mouthwaite @virginmedia I had awful internet for years with them best thing I ever did was change to sky and not only do I get more for my money it’s cheaper than what I was paying roughly three years ago xxxx

  • chococlaire77 Claire Stewart (@chococlaire77) reported from Sheffield, England

    Well @virginmedia what a waste of our time today,we booked an engineer in the time slot 8-12,and nobody arrived I’m afraid.Tried contacting you,and can’t get through...can anyone help?

  • 67BLADE Mark Bell (@67BLADE) reported from Barlborough, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to customer services about a mis sold installation

  • goonie2008 Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

  • HayesDebra Debra Hayes (@HayesDebra) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I know, someone is coming on Tues, what I’m saying is I shouldn’t be paying this until you resolve a problem on your side, my usage history tells you very clearly I dont use a landline

  • marymaryw Mary Williams (@marymaryw) reported

    Don't think I have ever had more appalling customer service than just experienced at @virginmedia Having an operative refuse to give their name or put me through to his manager and then put the phone down on me. What customer service training do they give?

  • louisebrath1 clox (@louisebrath1) reported

    @virginmedia Have done that and thought I'd screenshot that msg also, sorry. Hang on

  • _bradiam Brad Jacobs (@_bradiam) reported

    @virginmedia Then says, "sorry, i can have it delivered tomorrow." Then says, "but I can get you an engineer today if I can cancel shipment for tomorrow." He tells me "you'll receive confirmation within 2 hours and someone will arrive within 4 hours."

  • HayesDebra Debra Hayes (@HayesDebra) reported

    @virginmedia Astonishing that I am not being reimbursed until you resolve a problem on your side, a cursory glance at my phone history will show you I don’t use a landline, what if this involved a much larger amount of money?

  • FionaRainer Fiona Rainer (@FionaRainer) reported

    @virginmedia I asked to cancel my contract and was then subjected to the worst sales tactics I’ve experienced in years by an operative who admitted that they are targeted each month on retentions and that a cancellation would not look good on their figures. Shameful.

  • sOxym0r0n le0 (@sOxym0r0n) reported

    @virginmedia 39 minutes on the phone to your call centre to cancel my subscription. Your staff literally ignoring repeated requests to stop discussing price Shocking tactics and behaviour to essentially bully customers into giving up and not leaving

  • _bradiam Brad Jacobs (@_bradiam) reported

    @virginmedia I asked for his name and I asked to make a formal complaint. He transferred me to some other department to file a complaint. That gentlemen said that he would help me fix my issue. He spent 15 minutes reading my case and then say "Great - I've booked you for Tuesday." NOTHING!

  • _bradiam Brad Jacobs (@_bradiam) reported

    @virginmedia He never knocked. Never. I imagine he wanted to knock off early for the day, so he slipped the card and left. I tried calling him as soon as I saw the card, but his phone was off and going straight to voice mail. I called him 30 times.

  • ohholymountain_ Emily (@ohholymountain_) reported
