Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Margam, Wales

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Margam and nearby locations:

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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. 🤬

  • LeightonBaller Leighton Baller (@LeightonBaller) reported from Penywaun, Wales

    @SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK @virginmedia Load of crap. Removed a good application and replaced it with utter crap. Nice move Sky.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • _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

  • 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.

  • LeightonBaller Leighton Baller (@LeightonBaller) reported from Penywaun, Wales

    Cheers @SkyUK for ruining your app. Bloody stupid. I’m beginning to hate sky. I think I’ll check out @virginmedia instead

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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 👋🏼

  • Hywel79 Hywel (@Hywel79) reported from Swansea, Wales

    You'd think when @virginmedia sent out a new router it'd be one that works better than the old one, apparently not though, this ones shite as well. 3 days in a row, three seemingly random bouts of just not working

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia pls fix my wifi

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • sbsj2 Steve Johnson (@sbsj2) reported

    @virginmedia Website says I can upgrade to V360 + Ultimate OOMPH. Says I can do this online...NO. Phone support sends me to SMS support. After 14 HOURS (1 hour proving it is my account) I am in...then told (1 hour later) cannot upgrade???

  • CarwenSLlThomas 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿CSLlT🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@CarwenSLlThomas) reported

    @virginmedia .Your chat facility is very unhelpful. The signal and data plan has disappeared from@my phone and I need to contact you to discuss it, however the chat bot only suggests to phone you which obviously I cant do due to having no mobile signal! What do you suggest?

  • _MzAhmad_ Charlie™️ (@_MzAhmad_) reported

    @virginmedia Mines spends the vast majority down... bit of a lie there saying its reliable...

  • SFromley Eliot 'Dukov' Earle (@SFromley) reported

    @katerussell @virginmedia I have done the vote thing. I'm towards the top end of the expected bandwidth, so near enough what's advertised. 10:1 down/up is pretty poor in these more synchronous times, though.

  • adamshackleton3 adam shackleton (@adamshackleton3) reported

    @virginmedia Or wether your looking at having your prices put up twice a year and offered nothing as an existing customer except more price rises and only two year contracts, nice one as always virgin, plus your internet is rubbish and tv keeps crashing

  • notoriousBIGDP Notorious DP (@notoriousBIGDP) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for getting back to me, I have installed a new router that we have been supplied to go with a new virgin TV box and that seems to have solved the issue. We have cancelled the call out.

  • Abbie_thfc Abbie (@Abbie_thfc) reported

    Anybody else have constant problems with @virginmedia ? Paying £80 a month, our upstairs box works when it wants, the Internet is temperamental and we can occasionally watch on demand. If we had known they were this bad would have never gone with them! #virginmedia #poorservice

  • andywalsh501 @ndyw@lsh (@andywalsh501) reported

    @virginmedia Ive been "in touch" with your text bot..but had to login to check status - shows engineer has been allocated to my area. Will give your team a call to discuss

  • markwhalley78 Mark (@markwhalley78) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband still down unfortunately. Not going to be sorted out before the end of the weekend according to your faults team

  • HiipipTwitch HiipipTwitch (@HiipipTwitch) reported

    @Dexisson @virginmedia Shocking service all round then.
