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

  • 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

  • paul_phillips83 Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia been on hold 15 minutes your agent been back to me yet again same telling me I have to pay extra why do virgin think that if you charge extra this will fix an issue #badcustomerservice actually get it right first time to stop repeat calls

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia @Virgin Terrible service

  • 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

  • paul_phillips83 Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia the cheek or virgin media staff complain about virgin router dropping out constantly call raise a complaint and tell them router is disconnected from network and request a hub 4 as been told this is what’s needed I get told I have to upgrade to 1 gig for new router

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

    @virginmedia That checker like my service doesn't work

  • andyksheffield Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 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.

  • SamWatt30745054 Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve run test after test, at least 5-6 outages a month for last 2 years. Horrendous service and this is the final straw unless you offer me a refund of say £20 a month for last two years, if not I’m going BT and a dodgy box from Mad Frank in pub

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

    @virginmedia finally after 5 days without a service no streaming tv, being unable to work from home and having to sit in Saturday teatime eaiting for engineer while family go to Halloween party It's finally fixed Now the impossible part making contact to discuss compensation

  • SamWatt30745054 Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia you are aware that a lot of older, more vulnerable people have had alarm and safety devices installed that depend on a safe, fast, reliable service. The one that they, like, you know pay a lot of money for

  • Bexwa Rebecca (@Bexwa) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia The TV that it glitches on cant reach the box to get it wired in (but its only 10 ft away) I can't hard wire my laptop in. It goes off all the time! And then keep texting me saying you are coming for the WiFi pod after speaking with customer service. Im paying a fortune for this

  • guyrleech Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 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

  • 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.

  • 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 ?

  • SamWatt30745054 Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia No it didn’t help, what is the score SL V England John

  • 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!!!

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

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

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

    @virginmedia 7 days and still no @O2 resolution

  • 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

  • mjgoodman Mark Goodman (@mjgoodman) reported

    @virginmedia And thanks for the link but apparently I don’t have any outstanding issue? But I haven’t had a response

  • gilly_efc Nathan Gilmour (@gilly_efc) reported

    @virginmedia I wanted to make a complaint as I have the email that was sent from the web team confirming our contrct and what I was trying to tell him and he stated that a manager would call me by Saturday evening at the latest but no contact whatsoever

  • OllieNathan2 Ollie Nathan (@OllieNathan2) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, I've tried everything, every diagnostic and everything on your site, I've called in multiple times to be told it will be resolved day after day and I'm sick of nothing being done, get an engineer out and fix this!

  • mjgoodman Mark Goodman (@mjgoodman) reported

    @virginmedia Perhaps you need to update your advisers and call centre not to tell people they will respond within 72 hours. Or is the hope the problem will just go away?

  • psjarlo _jarl_ostensen (@psjarlo) reported from Guildford, England

    Since so many of us are working from home it would be nice if network maintenance could be done over night, to minimise disruption...@virginmedia

  • AnnavsAnna1 mentalanna@aol.com (@AnnavsAnna1) reported

    @virginmedia It might be but that does not make up for my wasted time and your poor communication . It’s no use afterwards telling me why it might have been cancelled

  • SFox1993 🦊Fantastic Mr Fox🦊 (@SFox1993) reported

    @virginmedia £8 a day is not enough compensation for issues being able to work from home though is it?

  • OllieNathan2 Ollie Nathan (@OllieNathan2) reported

    @virginmedia They asked me to do the exact same checks you did and guess what? Still nothing...maybe we should just cancel our contract and go with a supplier that doesn't cut our connection for 8 days.

  • SFox1993 🦊Fantastic Mr Fox🦊 (@SFox1993) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks , and is there any chance of being compensated because a complaint isn't going to solve my money issues.

  • pbs564 Piyush Sarmah 💙 (@pbs564) reported

    @tombradby @virginmedia Definitely. When we moved house, trying to get through to the correct department was the most Machiavellian experience ever. Must have taken at least 5 days before we finally were able to stop the service
