Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Newport, Wales
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Newport and nearby locations:
-
Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Any good reason why the outstanding @CNN news is being withdrawn from the cable service. Very, very disappointing. I am sure that I am not alone. #News #Media
-
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.

This is Carl🏳️🌈😺🏴🍕 (@Carl_E88) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia any chance of supporting existing customers, currently paying £32 a month but your offering new customers 25 a month. Helpline said nothing I can do as existing customer.

-
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!!!
-
Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, WalesAnother day in the life of a @virginmedia customer. TV showing fault. Ran online diagnostics, didn't fix. Site says to call. Call. Go through menu, TV, fault... sends me a text with a link to online diagnostics, says "thanks for calling" and hangs up. Worst. Company. Ever.

squeaks (@dodo1960) reported from Cardiff, WalesIt would be easier to get blood out of a stone that get password help from #virginmedia
-
Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia My original package wasn't due to end until July 22. I've spoken to every department you have, over & over again...I go over the same old explanation with your people every single time & still, nobody in your company will help...I've spoken to over 3 managers & still nothing!!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫 (@3EyedTiger) reported from Caerphilly, Wales@virginmedia Cheers, still down this morning - tried another 2 router reboots at 6am and 7:30 respectively but was no better, solid red light, etc.. Will try again at midday
-
Ariane (@MissAzzaB) reported from Cardiff, WalesAnybody else in Cardiff have reeeeeally slow and inconsistent internet these last couple of weeks? Trying to do anything involving the wifi - work or streaming - is so painful! @virginmedia #Cardiff
-
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
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia @virginhelp Yes. Have done this and spoken with your ‘fault management service’ who cut me off when I was explaining the problem.
-
Sam Sims (@mantha_1976) reported from Newport, WalesInternet not working, virgin media service status page not working @virginmedia shall I assume it's not fricking working and it might be repaired this century
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia But the team is impossible to contact!!! And when you do get in contact it’s always someone else’s problem, ‘oh I’ll just pass you onto my colleague’ etc. I’ve WhatsApped the help number too and been told it’s a long wait and told I can ‘get on with [my] day’ - absolute joke.
-
Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia With respect, your customer service advisors are useless. As is the technology for contacting them. As per my initial message. Last time I went through this I was booked a chat appointment by your twitter team with someone who specifically handled the complaint.
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia Hi - are you going to help me with the issue with your servers @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp please? No emails between my Outlook and your servers since Thursday.
-
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.
-
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

James Barber (@jamesrbarber) reported@virginmedia my internet went down earlier, so I booked an engineer visit for Weds. Internet has come back but I'm unable to cancel the booking - when I click the link on my confirmation text it says I don't have a booking. Someone please contact me.

KarenF (@KarenF55078163) reported@virginmedia Virginmedia broadband and other services are, once again, down in the postcode NW1 9TY (from 10.00 this morning). This is the third time in two weeks. According to their updates, the estimated repair time is 8 July at 15.07 !
-
Hodl my Bags (@SWINGER46708173) reported@virginmedia Yes you can find a way to contact me and we can try sort the issue as it is over 6 weeks without been solved
-
Steph (@StephyCoops) reported@virginmedia I have missed every single England game due to the crap service from virgin media. 3 days of no internet last week supposedly fixed but goes down again today. I work from home and I’m totally fed up with it.
-
Dobbin1957 (@dobbin1957) reported@waughzone @virginmedia Agreed. Our broadband, TV, and landline has been off for 36 hours and won’t be back for another 24!! Chirpy but infrequent and meaningless communication from Virgin to tell me how hard they are trying to fix the problem whilst continually delaying the time it will be fixed.
-
Sonny George (@SonnyGeorgeGB) reported@WeAreOpenreach So now another week goes by where my tenant has no broadband. I’ve also had the same issue with another flat in own in the same block where the engineer unplugged the line to that one and plugged into another. It’s constant, fix the issues otherwise I’ll move to @virginmedia
-
Back to the 70s (@AnnieLa60958950) reported@virginmedia After bring pestered for 3 days and finally answering my phone, someone at Virgin Media puts the phone down abruptly on me because I didn't know what day I paid my bill. VERY RUDE!!
-
kikidabon (@chrisgibbons31) reported@virginmedia my Internet connection gas just turned off.. is there s problem in the mk43 area?
-
Dobbin1957 (@dobbin1957) reported@virginmedia The service status page now says. 17.07 - you also sent a text to my wife who is the account holder at 08.07 today to say everything is fixed. So you clearly haven’t a clue what you are doing and yet you expect your customers to be patient. Time to give Virgin the boot I think.

Ben (@BendyBen999) reported@virginmedia @Ash_GW The most useless customer services ever. Just a bot reply
