Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Newport, Wales

-
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.

Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I do not want to be with you any more because you are doing my head in!!!! You have turned from being a very good company with good service to being the most disgusting people I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with!!!
-
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

Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I did that this morning & the person said they were in complaints department..he said I needed to speak to retentions & a manager would call. He raised a complaint Ref:C160622488. Got a call this afternoon where the manager of customer services said there was nothing he could do.

Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Firstly a refund of £351 for the Mobile part of the Oomph bundle as it was stopped a couple of months after starting the contract..still not paid to me! The Media part..nothing has been done at all..no solution..just continual pestering to pay by debt collectors or cut service!
-
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
-
Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I'm now waiting on a call from the retentions department (I missed one earlier)! I know exactly what they will say because I've spoken to them on a number of occasions...they will offer me a new contract & raise a complaint about the messing about you've given me!!!

Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia Nothing on there - just a lot of people with same issue!

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
-
damian Kerlin 🏳️🌈 (@damianKerlin) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Yes, and it is a different issue every time. How, in a capital city, is this happening everyday, with your engineers unable to do anything to improve the situation. …and what about that refund, as we are paying for internet which we are not getting?
-
Gareth Jones (@gazthebluebird1) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I am unable to sign into my online account and trying to speak to anyone at your company its like trying to make contact with the moon, can you open up a DM conversation to help please?
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia calling takes too long, always on hold for over an hour, and they never deal with the problem, the person on WhatsApp actually dealt with it which is why I was wanting to carry on using WhatsApp?!
-
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.
-
Paul Ivins 🏴 ♎ 💙🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ 🇪🇺 (@ivinsp) reported from Cardiff, Wales@richie_rich77 @virginmedia If it's just a WiFi issue and your LAN connection is OK maybe try a mesh system. Works great here with BT
-
Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia still waiting since 7.30 am for the engineer to come to sort out the problems we are having, he’s 25 minutes to get here ( we were given 7.30-13 slot) still no tv since Thursday!
-
𝗣S. (@philscully) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia But im asking what would be different to the other times where ive just wasted hours of my day for nothing to change? We have called numerous times only to be told there is no problem or to reset. No other assitance is ever offered
-
Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Now I have a problem with the DNS not working. Called 150 and ended up with a text with a link to where I started. Really, really frustrating. Please help.

James Agg (@Jimmyboy35) reported@virginmedia I have now been on hold for my broadband and TV issues for over 2hours in total
-
Kevin Burke (@kevin0403) reported@virginmedia can you tell me what your issue is? Over a week to try and speak to someone and no further forward, currently been in a queue for over 3hrs?
-
Sam Greenland (@SprocketEtQuill) reported@virginmedia Another Virgin Media engineer came out again to bury the cable from house to street. The cable is now in trunking over ground and the internet service was severed. You have said it will take yet another on-site engineer to fix the connection and left me without a connection for the week - until an engineer is available. You have, however, paid £100 towards the cost of the alternative internet provider. Your logic was £30 for data (on a #GiffGaff SIM card which I chose) and £70 for a dongle. I bought a £120 4G modem for external use that connects directly to my #Unifi switch on WAN2, bypassing your hub altogether and giving a connection back to my whole house rather than just one computer with a USB port. Given it's taken since November to bury this cable, I'm not convinced tomorrow's engineer will be able to fix the connection or bury the cable. We will see how the day unfolds. Your contact centre staff all aim to be very helpful, and your service (when it's working) does provide a decent connection most of the time, but your implementation is lacking.

Lorna Willins (@LornieWillins) reported@virginmedia A very helpful guy in the 02 shop helped me out. If you can please pass on you need staff covering phones, I have spent hours & hours yesterday & today, I should not have to leave my home to get the answer in minutes. The service is disgusting

Vee (@MeAndTheCloudss) reportedSo I guess I am not the only one who is having problems with @virginmedia today and the past couple of WEEKS.....💔 Honestly what is going on.....
-
Moderately Sarcastic (@ForkYeah07) reportedAn absolute nightmare getting onboard with Virgin Media broadband. They changed my appointment on the last day. Who the hell is going to pay me for the inconvenience this will have? This is absolutely ridiculous. Is this the service you guys provide?? @virginmedia
-
June Tobin (@junie1954) reported@virginmedia our virgin media account has been locked for over three weeks. We are unable to log in ! We have spent long time on four phone calls. We have been promised calls back and resolution within 3-5working days. We are still waiting. We have been customers for 26 years
-
TJKEY (@kytmlm) reported@cee4cat Don’t need internet, good thing really cos @virginmedia is down again this morning
-
Craig (@bricknblock1981) reported@virginmedia AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Absolutely awful customer service. Schedule appointments and never turn up. We are now on our 5th rescheduled appointment in 5 days and no expected timeframe for a resolution. Total loss of service 11 days and counting…

Niddi Dhillon (@niddi1989) reported@virginmedia any chance of speaking with a actual human? Been on the chat service which has kicked me out 4 times and hold for nearly 3hrs now to. Be nice if someone actually answered me
