Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Newport, Wales
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Newport and nearby locations:
-
Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia Nothing on there - just a lot of people with same issue! I’ve changed my password, run a security scan and still not getting emails or able to send. What do you suggest I do now please?? @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia
-
mz f Drennan (@mz_drennan) reported from Cathays, Wales@virginmedia you ,mean the awful service you usually provide is even worse,,

Tim Burns (@TimmyGrunt) reported from Cardiff, WalesAnyone suffering internet outage from @virginmedia ??
-
Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, WalesAlleluia @virginmedia Just taken one month to have most issues resolved. Feedback: less silos in customer service so they can see all issues and be more helpful.
-
Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, WalesBeen with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.
-
MH 🏴🏳️🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from St. Julians, Wales@virginmedia On hard wired, approx 250mbs out of 350mbs. It’s a hub 4 with new connectors added and bits of cable, but again I’m having to call support to see why our intellipods aren’t working.
-
Katieeeeeeeeeeeee 👻 (@SewScandalous) reported from Newport, WalesOh, looks like @virginmedia have disconnected my service 7 days before they were meant to 🙄 Absolute rubbish.
-
Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, WalesUpgrading to gigabit broadband meant getting a new router from VirginMedia, so took the opportunity to tidy up and remove old cabling and extension leads. Didn't realise just how much unused crap I still had plugged in/taking up space
-
Dr Chris Inglis (@ChrisSwinglis) reported from Penarth, Wales@GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.
-
Kevin Fortey (@GiantVeg) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales@emmalunn @virginmedia Absolutely. Just had to improvise from a mobile phone with similarly shocking service too
-
Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales@syeporter180 @virginmedia I’m on virgin and it’s not that great Sye, I was going to sky before I renewed but had the same problem as you because I’d of had to wait months for BT to install a cable so just stuck to the devil I know in the end
-
Samantha (@Samanth82113398) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Hi can someone help me I'm trying to log in to my account but keeps saying there's a problem at your end
-
Ryan Davenport (@Welsh_Saint14) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia So myself or my wife has to spend our working day trying to get through to ypu just to be fobbed off to different departments and get no where 🙄🙄 customer service skills at best
-
Lee Smith/DJ Leekee (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I think it was more a BBC source issue rather than VM wide. The lip sync is just every so slightly out but seemed very put on strictly last night
-
Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England@10sam_h Yeah likewise, virgin media awful still not sorted it
-
Christina Macaulay (@macauc01) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia terrible service. You booked to install my equipment on 13th Dec 2023. Wrong year and no one will sort it out. Your fault entirely
-
Trudi Foster (@MsWhippet1) reported from St. Julians, Wales@virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.
-
Stacey J Lipowski🐧 (@staceyjlipowski) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia internet has gone down and the website is also down so can’t check if it is an issue in the area or not
-
Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England@virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

MerlinJ & the Dowager. (@HamsterSick) reported@Johnty14 @virginmedia I can't stand virgin I will not be renewing that contract November **** that. I dont pay failure
-
Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reportedDay 35 of absolutely no services from @virginmedia and no useful information about when/if the outage in our area will ever get fixed. Let’s hope that @guardian Consumer Champions will look into this - I’ve just written to them. @Ofcom
-
John Munro (@Munro78) reported@virginmedia Got an email saying my contract expires soon. Taking my payments from £73.50 to £137.50 - I can’t seem to find any new deals that would bring my payments down to what my original contract was. Unless I become a new member and you charge £49.99. This can’t be right?
-
Paul O'Brien (@PaulOBrienKil) reported@VMSportIE I strongly urge anyone thinking of subscribing to @virginmedia to NOT do it. Took over a hour to get through to customer service & they still won't fix their mistake. Shambles of an organisation.
-
sarah (@Mears1Sarah) reported@DAZNBoxing Not working in @virginmedia
-
BB (@TheWazzo) reported@virginmedia @FredWhitbread You didn’t need to send your standard reply, everything you needed to know was in Fred’s post, he’s trying to help you.
-
Pure Hearted Human (@Graelwyn) reported@Ang_Jones72 It doesn't matter much now. As I intend to take my life as what virgin media don't know. Is that my mother and father abused me most of my life. And maybe since I never got her unconditional love as she loved only through money. I wanted to use the only thing she gives me now. Since she wouldn't call virgin to explain. As she cares more about my brother's partner's mother having cancer. Than that I may have cancer. So virgin media get their payments. And I have finally given up. That is all.
-
Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported@MikeScheider_ Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.
-
Ken Bar Low (@OldPeopleFine) reported@Dearme2_ You think when you hit rock bottom things can only get better but then your house burns down and virgin media take you to court for non payment of your wifi
-
Seren 7 (@Seren_7) reported@virginmedia your online chat to us hasn’t worked for over 6 weeks. I have only been able to cancel today after being on a 1 hour call. Please advise when my account will be credited?
