Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Barnsley, England

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

  • HarlamTK Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

  • HarlamTK Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia And I can’t raise a complaint on the site without having an account, which I don’t have, so that is a pointless endeavour as well

  • guyrleech Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @KevEdwardsRetro I've been with them for years (Yorkshire Cable before that) but changed to the @vmbusiness service to get 4G backup only to find that it doesn't work when their device is in modem mode. Unable to get through to them though - worst support/customer service I've ever experienced

  • annie7hudds anne l (@annie7hudds) reported from Fenay Bridge, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on with internet service in HD8 area ? I don’t want to have to wait 23 hours before calling a technician as advised by your service page

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

  • andy_english Andrew English (@andy_english) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @LordTets @virginmedia Go to Ofcom... you have clearly given them ample time on numerous occasions to resolve your complaint. Life is too short to spend your time waiting for promised calls and web chats... let the ombudsman deal with them.

  • guyrleech Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I do need assistance over why the 4G backup didn't kick in when I had an outage last week but I've raised that with you already, I hope

  • GAMINGDRAGONUK GAMING DRAGON (@GAMINGDRAGONUK) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @virginmedia I already have and I reported the fault bit it see like you have a service outage in my area

  • JudgeDrokk Judge Drokk | Mark Hellewell (@JudgeDrokk) reported from Darton, England

    @virginmedia Well I don't know if the problem has been restored at virgins end I received help and advice from an outside source who showed show me how to work around the problem with manual DNS entries. But for me, working now. Thanks.

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Third time it's been down today now. Yes completely down, we have no Internet at all. What other services do you mean? We only have broadband with you. Yes, I've booked but not until next week, we CAN NOT have this service for 3-5 days before someone comes out?!

  • guyrleech Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Thanks. The 4G backup not working since the service was installed

  • RomegouxLouis Louis Romégoux (@RomegouxLouis) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia please sort the Sky Red button issue which is preventing Sheffield United fans subscribed to Virgin from experiencing the service they've paid for.

  • HarlamTK Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.

  • a8dullah_mulla Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia well done 👏🏽 new way of resolving complaints! Offer a resolution that you know customer won’t accept so you can pass on to an adjudicator… all in a record time of 8mins!!!

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @calvg @virginmedia Thank you 🙏 Stop blaming us and be responsible for your crap connections

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for absolutely no help what so ever. Please fix your issues

  • jim_johnson24 Jim Johnson (@jim_johnson24) reported from Shepley, England

    @virginmedia 7 days and still no @O2 resolution

  • AdamPagett3 Padge 👌 (@AdamPagett3) reported from Featherstone, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin Terrible service

  • SamWalker03 Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been hung up on three times this morning by your contact centre! All your willing to do is pass on the “feedback” do you have anyone customer service trained I can speak to ?

  • HarlamTK Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia I tried that and that’s how I got stuck in this situation. Is there a number I can call that is DIRECT for a complaint?

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • laurawilko84 Laura Wilkinson (@laurawilko84) reported

    @virginmedia extortionate cancellation fee of £240 even when you can't provide me with the service. Great way to treat customers that have been with you for years. Won't be using any virgin services again and I advise anyone to avoid signing up.

  • jack_sears Jack Sears (@jack_sears) reported

    @Thangels44 @virginmedia Hi, I’m facing the same issue of an early termination fee. Did you manage to get anything sorted? Can’t believe they think it’s ok to charge people even though they can’t provide the service in the area

  • MekeWhy krispy (@MekeWhy) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry I was without internet access to reply, I’ve a Hub 3.0 and difficult to even watch Instagram stories, I’ve to use my cellphone network frequently

  • NightshadeJade_ ✨𝕵𝖆𝖉𝖊✨ (@NightshadeJade_) reported

    Just got our Virgin Media boosted to 500mb at the weekend. It's currently completely dead and my phone's signal is as slow as dial-up. WHY CANT VIRGIN JUST BE GOOD.

  • ngolinhh Chí Linhh (@ngolinhh) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband down in Dublin 12, Drimnagh. Can we fix this issue as soon as possible? I am waiting to log in to work

  • Nadiaispureclas Nadia Esani (@Nadiaispureclas) reported

    @thatsmarkC @jessicafweldon @virginmedia Same issue as well guys. Very frustrating!!

  • aa1le1ab1 George Carthy (@aa1le1ab1) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband now down again in the area (Ballyfermot D10). Ridiculous. I hope Virgin Media are taking these outages into account in our next bill.

  • thatsmarkC Mark Canizares (@thatsmarkC) reported

    @virginmedia Internet down in D8, could not connect to work from 8am. Increased in monthly charges, service quality just keeps on failing us each day. Now in search of a better alternative.

  • cat_cusack Catherine Cusack (@cat_cusack) reported

    @virginmedia broadband down in Dublin 6. Can you please sort this out?

  • Baggieslad1234 carl willis (@Baggieslad1234) reported

    @kate_wba @O2 I'm with Virgin media and no complaints. I'd most likely be with someone else but they offered me a Sim card for free alongside my TV and internet package so too good to turn down.
