Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Barnsley, England

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

• 
  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 4 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

• 
  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 5 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia Oh yes and I’ve phoned. It appears to be that yesterday’s problems haven’t been resolved.

  @virginmedia is the email down again??

• 
  Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported 14 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia’s customer service is appalling. 3 hours to respond to a message has to be the benchmark for worst practice. Last weekend it took them 27 hours to sort out cancelling my account. Absolutely hopeless.

  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 15 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I've checked and definitely not entitled due to the amount of days with no service. Like I said, a good will gesture. People who are working from home haven't been able to work for a start. Only been with you a few weeks and have nothing but issues.

  @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

• 
  Gary Fretwell (@GaryFretwell1) reported 30 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I appreciate your advice, but rather than ask fellow customers for a fix I’d rather hope @virginmedia trained staff would be able to rectify this issue. I’ll try the forum, but this is not the way to run a business….@Ofcom

  Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported 35 minutes ago from Knottingley, England

  I think very soon I'll be saying 👋 to @ThreeUK and 🤝 to @virginmedia...over the last couple of years, the signal has got increasingly worse. I have just bought a new phone, but the problem persists...really unhappy.

  @virginmedia why am h getting the message that my cable is broken

• 
  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 45 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @vmbusiness strike yet again!😠 Not only are they charging me £7/month for 4G backup that doesn't work, they are now charging me £4 for paper bills that I never asked for. Oh, and still say I owe them money despite me overpaying due a to a red letter that they took by DD later

  lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported 45 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia No and tbh no apology for my internet not working since the day after install Friday and now I've been threatened in in contract ! I have 14 days to cancel can you confirm please . Im not paying for a fault after 5 days plus it's not worked from install .

• 
  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 47 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

• 
  Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported 51 minutes ago from Rotherham, England

  @virginmedia To box not working. Got it sorted now but not happy with been miss sold a package I didn't need then had to waste more time on the phone to cancel it

• 
  Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported 53 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves

• 
  Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported 53 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

• 
  Alison Pearson (@pearson_alison) reported 54 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia why is the red button not working I've paid for this service

• 
  Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported 56 minutes ago from Heckmondwike, England

  @virginmedia somethings never change, £21 price increase can’t get you good customer service. Complaint logged for the second time, will I get response this time? 🤔

• 
  Mark Hewitt (@Hi1mMark88) reported 58 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia broadband service has dropped out in Sheffield (s5) any know issues or reasons why this has happened. Service checker isn’t giving any information

• 
  Yorkshire Chuff (@YorkshireChuff) reported 59 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  Reading all the tweets from you idiots who haven't got unlimited 5g hotspot. Been paying for this for years. For this very moment. **** you #virginmedia

  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 60 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @StueyDay @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk The service is awful and customers find it too hard to get a prompt response. Last time this happened it took at least 8-10 emails before they got past the automated letter asking me to switch off, reboot and check all the connections.

  David McQuillan (@DavMcQ84) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia It’s been 66 days, 4 lengthy phone calls and a few hours of repeatedly trying to explain to your poorly trained call centre team that my ‘myvirginmedia’ account has been locked and still no solution despite repeated promises it would be. It is absolutely pathetic.

• 
  Debbie Rowe (@debbierowe1) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Updates please? Still not working? Not been able to watch majority of this event at all! Very unhappy with service!

• 
  Bэccaaaa (@Beccaaaa_x_) reported 7 minutes ago

  @debbierowe1 @virginmedia My tv just went black and now not working

• 
  Nick Poole (@nrpoole) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I can't log into my a/c. I know my email address but, when entered, I reach a page saying that there has been a 'quick pause to keep my account safe' followed by some unhelpful suggestions and a reference: IDF-12B. The help & bot are useless. Can you help, please?

• 
  ORIGINAL GOONER JOHN (@1947originalgo1) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @Trebor0501 It's absolute rubbish this stupid new box, it deletes your shows by mistake, error code keeps coming up while trying to record, and when you ring up you get someone from India who wants to know the ins and outs of Jacks arse, Grrrrr.

• 
  Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @customerchamp1 It is literally the level of service you have provided for many years.
