Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Port Talbot, Wales

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Port Talbot and nearby locations:

  • Jackson_SCFC Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Again, I appreciate what you're saying, but similarly I've had an engineer to my house and he said that within the parameters of his test, that my connection should be better than average. This is an issue with how my connection is being routed.

  • Leelamou Sophie 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Leelamou) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia It was definitely intentional! Anyway... an hour later I finally managed to cancel. Won’t ever be using you again. See ya 👋🏼

  • Jackson_SCFC Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia 200 down from what I can remember, I'm at work right now so I can't check but the speed isn't the issue. Also, I said "should" because based on his test, it's an above average connection, but in practice, it's wildly inconsistent in terms of ping, packet loss/timing.

  • si_rees Simon Rees (@si_rees) reported from Margam, Wales

    @virginmedia hi my speed has died to a crawl this morning in the SA13 2 area of Port Talbot. Have reset the Super Hub etc. Help needed please.

  • Jackson_SCFC Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia I have had: -An upgrade -An engineer come and change the box outside my house -A brand new hub -New power line adapters -My connection tested on your end numerous times And yet the connection, 99 times out of 100, feels like total shit whenever I use anything intensive.

  • Jackson_SCFC Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia I just googled it and my issue is with my pc hooked to my router with an Ethernet cable, the WiFi is fine

  • Jackson_SCFC Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia No, I've gone down this route before, just look in to your routing servers and or the bandwidth limit. Any time I do anything remotely intensive all packets start getting dropped. I'm on my knees.

  • _katyjames kat 🍊 (@_katyjames) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia We had a box fitted yesterday and the signal just isn’t working, it drops ever other minute or so and we can only get service in the room where the box is

  • JonoTobin Jonathan Tobin (@JonoTobin) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    @virginmedia I was transferred numerous times. Then finally told that the person who set up the house transfer, has messed it up and somehow cancelled my access. With no solution on how to fix it

  • chris061183 chris (@chris061183) reported from Skewen, Wales

    @mb1984 @virginmedia glad it's not only me with this issue mate 😂. very poor

  • identiti32 Sara-Jane (@identiti32) reported from Price Town, Wales

    @virginmedia Sort IT OUT IF I DONT ANSWER I CANNOT BECAUSE NO INTERNET BECAUSE @Plusnet suck AT HOUSEMOVES AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL

  • chris061183 chris (@chris061183) reported from Skewen, Wales

    @mb1984 @virginmedia mine is exactly the same keeps going off . it's a load of crap sent me new box and no change. 🤬

  • Sixth_Form_Coll Swansea Sixth form College (@Sixth_Form_Coll) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia so disappointed with your service. It’s been 9 months since we changed our package and still @virginmedia cannot get a simple Direct debit form processed correctly.

  • _katyjames kat 🍊 (@_katyjames) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia pls fix my wifi

  • JonoTobin Jonathan Tobin (@JonoTobin) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    @virginmedia Could you tell me what department I need to speak to about set up issues after a house move, and what time they close please

  • JonoTobin Jonathan Tobin (@JonoTobin) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    Spend hours waiting for someone to answer @virginmedia then they just tell me ‘wait till tomorrow and it will work’. And it never does, cancellation never sounded so appealing

  • belock14 Beccy Blackmore (@belock14) reported from Aberavon, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m having problems getting through to your customer services, I’ve been trying since yesterday morning. This is unacceptable. Please can you send me a link for a web chat.

  • JonoTobin Jonathan Tobin (@JonoTobin) reported from Port Talbot, Wales

    @virginmedia I was advised that I need to speak to a different department, by what feels like every department in Virgin Media! Whoever dealt with the house to house transfer has made an error.. and has somehow cancelled my service. But no department is taking responsibility to fix

  • si_rees Simon Rees (@si_rees) reported from Margam, Wales

    @virginmedia My wife rang (as account in her name) eventually got through, and an engineer is expected in next few hours as I connection at all now!!Poor/no mobile signal at home as booster box is connected to your router, so even more inconvenience right now.

  • BenSwansea Ben Lewis-Bloor (@BenSwansea) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia my internet just suddenly went down 10mins ago. I was using it. Your test says it cant see the equipment SA1 2PQ

  • huskypup Hüseyin (@huskypup) reported

    @virginmedia @Jamie70511993 Having the same problem. Was offered £79 which I said I would discuss with my partner and call back. When I called this morning, despite the recorded offer, I was told I could no longer have it for that price. Price has gone up a third, it's outrageous. Can someone please help?

  • jaskiratmnn Jaskirat K Mann (@jaskiratmnn) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried to call many times but as per my first tweet the customer service phone line disallows me to reach an actual staff member

  • realjoerobin Joe ✌🏻 (@realjoerobin) reported

    @virginmedia 4 months without a second TV box - countless hours on the phone to customer service, and finally a great engineer comes out and the problem is fixed within 30 mins. Will I be getting a refund for the months without a box?!

  • AnthophilaGuard Steven Fawcett (@AnthophilaGuard) reported

    @virginmedia Communication with you online is the only way I am able to communicate with anyone, are you saying that you are refusing to cancel my service unless I call you or write to you? @Ofcom

  • whitejpg Soda Rat (@whitejpg) reported

    @virginmedia hello, someone was supposed to pick up our previous broadband box yesterday and they texted us saying they'd be around between 12:30-2:30. No one arrived, tried to call and text the number we got the text from. Nothing. Can't get through customer service either.

  • amydanielle4 amy (@amydanielle4) reported

    @virginmedia my internet keeps disconnecting and when I call I get disconnected after an hour please can someone help as I’m trying to work from home

  • AnthophilaGuard Steven Fawcett (@AnthophilaGuard) reported

    @virginmedia I have just looked this up and you are full of hot air @Ofcom I request a STAC and if I don't use the STAC it will cancel after 30 days and I would have to request another one, so you want me to delay cancellation for a further 30 days just to get rid of me?

  • HardCand Zack (@HardCand) reported

    @virginmedia Intermittent connection, all cables and plugs properly connected, multiple device experiencing the issue, hub has been reset and rebooted many times, I was told to just keep rebooting for weeks to fix the issue but Ive been doing that for weeks already :))))))

  • AnthophilaGuard Steven Fawcett (@AnthophilaGuard) reported

    @virginmedia So how does that cancel my contract with Virgin then @Ofcom And can you stop starting a new tweet, just use the one with @Ofcom in as I will keep using it to show just how rediculous this is.

  • BellefieldGirls Bellefield Girls (@BellefieldGirls) reported

    @virginmedia Can I have an email address to make a complaint?
