Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Barnsley, England

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

  • Mcollinson72
    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia ongoing intermittent issues with my broadband for weeks now and yet your website gives no option to get through to anyone to help despite it promising to do so. Keeps telling me to check back in 24 hours. Unacceptable level of service!

  • AnnielizzieSten
    Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 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

  • kaw7676
    Karen Walsh (@kaw7676) reported from Normanton, England

    @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

  • mandybaps1

    @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

  • Chm14Mc
    Chris McCulloch (@Chm14Mc) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia as a rejoining customer, how do I set up an account with my old accounts e-mail address? #gettingstuck #shouldbeeasier

  • ClaireWinslade
    Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported from Sheffield, England

    Moved to @virginmedia on Monday and router didn’t come. Then when it came Wednesday the internet wouldn’t connect. After 7 phone calls and an engineer called out it’s still not working 😡 and it seems if you are on hold for too long they just cut you off. So frustrating

  • Churchill0782
    The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia do you care to give an update regarding services being down in the WF1 area of Wakefield? You estimate keeps changing which is becoming really annoying!! Literally 1000s of households without an Internet connection. #wakefield #poorservice

  • diddles1970

    @virginmedia Do you have a business outage in S8? Can't get through to anyone. Wondering whether to send everyone home?

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

  • ArmitageJohn
    John Armitage (@ArmitageJohn) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hi guys, I’ve been without TV services for over two weeks now. Every attempt to@reach you has me going around in circles. Tried the app. Doesn’t recognise my email, and doesn’t recognise my acct no + area ref. Please help. Can I talk to someone?!!

  • 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?

    @virginmedia is the email down again??

  • Sheffield_Boy
    Marc Riley (@Sheffield_Boy) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?

  • andyksheffield
    Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk Wish I could enjoy this but my so called 500mb service is so poor I’ve virtually been without internet for a week. Finally your team viewed it as urgent because I do work from home on Zoom and…an engineer is coming on Tuesday. When BT Reach put full fibre in my area it’s bye bye

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

    @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia It’s fine here but earlier in March we were left without any service for days at a time . The reason given was service upgrades. Ring them on 150 for an automated update

  • pearson_alison

    I have never in my adult life had to deal with a more inept bunch of incompetent people than those who work at virgin media, I wager I would get more sense from an extinct species than I would from their "customer service" department

  • mattdoctorwho74
    Matt 💙 (@mattdoctorwho74) reported

    Stream box is terrible claims be 4k, picture, colours, duller than 1988 vhs channels, chip obviously yrs behind, thats tv pulled out now, no rewind tv surely no one would pay £15 pm for sky entertainment when sky entertainment and kids is £3.99 on @NOW @virginmedia

  • GeekyHairy
    GeekyHairyBestia (@GeekyHairy) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Your lucky you got dial up speeds bro. I’m lucky if I get 3-6mb on the GB package and that’s when I have a connection. But yeah customer service has got worse and worse. To point you can not contract or make a claim. Good luck dealing with them,m. Lost my job because of them 🤬

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia I’d never consider virgin too expensive, and can never get in touch with them.
