Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Cardiff and nearby locations:
-
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.
-
Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Your company is awful. I’ve called today waited 10min to the worst hold music only to be cut off. Call back to be told your closed now then state you are open between 9-6. Why are you deliberately obstructive?
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@OldSparky6 @virginmedia I’m never going with them again. Genuinely don’t know how they are still a company that is allowed to operate when the customer service is this bad!
-
Fred Jones (@fredljones_) reported from Barry, Wales@virginmedia online chat not working, on hold for hours and not responding on WhatsApp?! How do I get hold of you to cancel my service ffs...
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!!!
-
Mento5 (TAFKAB) (@Mento56) reported from Church Village, Wales@DwyKev @virginmedia Their appalling customer service was the one thing that made me decide to stick with Plusnet rather than switch to them, despite a very attractive offer.
-
Rob Weaver (@welsh1lad) reported from Barry, Wales@virginmedia Define active, if you mean do I have Service’s no , do I still use my email account yes.
-
🏴⚽️🏉Gareth Lloyd 🏉⚽️🏴 (@GarethLloyd18) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia awful customer service
-
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!!
-
andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, WalesProperly for the best part of a yr doesn't seem a problem to yourselves but your quite happy to take out monthly payment for a service we're paying for but you're not providing & seem to be in no hurry to provide it. Disgraceful service @virginmedia
-
Kevin Fortey (@GiantVeg) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales@emmalunn @virginmedia Absolutely. Just had to improvise from a mobile phone with similarly shocking service too
-
Dave T (@fin_father) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@thewson72 @virginmedia Great when on. So much faster than anyone else. But useless service when it’s down.
-
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.

MH 🏴🏳️🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia @O2 Why is your Hotspot so poor? Never connects!
-
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
-
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
-
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 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!

-
HRCastle (@hrcastle) reported@virginmedia Since 10am I have been trying to speak to someone to see if there is a problem in my area, or whether I need an engineer out. I have had phone calls from the complaints department, but still, no answer. Why won’t you confirm this?
-
Jen Smith (@Her_indoors51) reported@virginmedia Thank you but a lovely lady on your customer service spent 40 minutes to fix it for me.
