Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Newport, Wales
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Newport and nearby locations:
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Yep. Just been on hold for 1 hour 3 minutes and as soon as I got through it cut off. Sent multiple follow up WhatsApp messages and still nothing. You really need to sort out your customer service because I’ve been waiting 3 weeks just to get back into contact with someone!!!
-
🏴 Stuart 🏴 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales@virginmedia do you have issues in CF83 ? Our business broadband is down again.
-
Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia It doesn't. No changes made. I had major problems setting this up, it went through someone in your complaints department and they had to do something manual to set the package I was on up. Clearly, even they are incapable. I've had TV for a few months, then it's just gone off.
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????
-
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.
-
Brody (@brodyanderson_) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Yeah have already called. Reports no service issues in my location despite online reporting intermittent issues this morning. Ability to book an engineer has disappeared. Help appreciated - now over 24h without connection
-
andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia why does it seem impossible to sort my TV and WiFi out? My partner has been phoning up on and off for a year or more about poor signal, not being able to use catch and apps and general poor service. Just get fobbed off.] Is this how you treat all customers?
-
Ed Morris (@edmorrispt) reported from Cardiff, WalesWifi recommendations in Cardiff? @virginmedia is the absolute worst thing on earth & ruins working from home
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia I have got this sorted with your team now. Helpful person. But I suggest changing your auto system to give callers an idea of wait time. Better customer service.
-
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
-
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.
-
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?
-
Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I’m fuming! We were lied to by their customer service , promised an engineer this an no one turned up now been told by customer service that we won’t have one until tomorrow #nithoodenough
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Can I just ask why it is that you can respond within minutes on social media (where the public can see your actions) but then in private you are ignoring your customers and taking three weeks to deal with issues? If you have agents manning twitter why can’t you pick up the phone?
-
Steve George🏴 (@George66Steve) reported from Cathays, Wales@virginmedia And if it's 'some customers' it's an awful bloody lot of them!
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia John I have done all that already. And it’s not worked. I have spoken with my IT support and they confirm this is a problem with your servers. How are you proposing to sort this out for me please?? I’m paying for a service @virginmedia is not providing.

🏴⚽️🏉Gareth Lloyd 🏉⚽️🏴 (@GarethLloyd18) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia awful customer service
-
Peter Gillibrand (@GillibrandPeter) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!
-
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
-
Jacob (@j_bettany) reported from Clevedon, EnglandSo many scammers calling from '@VirginMedia Technical Support' at the moment. 5 in 24 hours. I've taken to suggesting they might think about getting a different job but heartbreaking to get the response, 'can you give me one?' It's basically #organisedcrime built on #poverty

the view of stu (@stuarttownsend8) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia Even when you send it back in the packaging they provide, they don’t acknowledge receipt of it and just charge you anyway, takes a month to get your money back after they finally admit they had it for weeks, just like you said. Terrible company
-
Seph (@sephiroth17181) reportedsick to death of @virginmedia and their ****** service and customer service... i pay £56 a month for internet and for the past 3 weeks it has become so intermittent i wouldnt even call it a connection, and they refuse to do anything about it "reboot router" STILL DONT WORK!!
-
Smeagle The Beagle (@aking4) reported@DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt They are so bad, just been ripped off by Virgin but I’ll move soon!
-
Ewan McLachlan (@original1hanwoo) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia Ive been charged by @virginmedia for using a service after I left the property and cancelled everything. Their customer service are so inept that after multiple phone calls etc they still dont understand the situation and have passed the £500 pound charge onto debt collectors.

THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported@sephiroth17181 @virginmedia That’s the problem I have. WAN port on the Asus router I have is only 1GbE but the LAN ports are 2.5GbE (& can’t switch WAN port to one of the LAN ports for some reason).
-
Jessica Simpson 😺🐶🐾 (@Jess_Simpson645) reported@virginmedia thank you for offering help via a DM, but you have sent me quite a lot of the exact same messages now - only one was needed. I have already told you that one of your engineers is coming out tomorrow to check everything is okay and get everything working properly. At this point I will only need to contact you if the engineers visit isn’t successful.
-
skif’s (@MrEldricardo) reported@DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt No. Bad idea. We had it. Went from £35 to £65 in 24 months.
-
G IREL (@TJAYIREL) reported@virginmedia @KatReynolds5 hi any problems in the dublin area? internet went down at some point in the last hour.
-
Alex (@AJ01991) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia They’re dodgy as ****, I had total loss of service for over a month, they kept closing my complaints saying it was resolved after I explicitly said not to. They also kept saying it was fixed when it wasn’t to avoid paying compensation.

John sutton (@Johnsut06358334) reported@gwfvrowell @virginmedia Awful firm.
