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

  • ItsLau_xo 🦋Laura 🦋 (@ItsLau_xo) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    So we pay over £100 a month for full @virginmedia package and fastest Internet going, but is it so so bad. It keeps cutting out all the time or going slow.

  • KitaW Kita Williams (@KitaW) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia No. And we have called so many time and reset the box. Had 3 new computers from work so the issue is you! My broadband is frankly ****!

  • PentwynP Pentwyn & Llanedeyrn Pickers (@PentwynP) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia @WeAreOpenreach @cardiffcouncil @LornaLwyl @Keep_Wales_Tidy I believe this particular one is openreach, just highlighting this is an issue with both companies. One volunteer has previously written to virgin media posting spent wiring with the letters, but this issue it seems is not being addressed adequately across the whole of the UK

  • leeweb79 Lee Webster (@leeweb79) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @DafyddCCFC @BBCWalesNews @CardiffCityFC Virgin Media sticking fibre cables down mate

  • iestyntdavies Iestyn T Davies (@iestyntdavies) reported from Newport, Wales

    Can’t wait until our @virginmedia contract comes to an end the worst broadband product and with genuinely the worst customer service - avoid always

  • katierobertson0 KatieRobertson (@katierobertson0) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia internet has been down for two days can't seem to speak to anyone to resolve the issue???

  • lfmortgages lisafletchermortgages (@lfmortgages) reported from Barry, Wales

    Terrible service from #virginmedia for 3 months+. Spent hours on the phone for the goalposts to be moved again. Apparently if you are residential customer intermittent service in a 24 hour period is acceptable, even if that is 10 minutes Bye bye 🖐🏻🖐🏻#bonvoyage

  • robkbangor Rob Knowles (@robkbangor) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia we would like to cancel our contract with you but your website is sending us round in circles and it’s impossible to get through to your call centre. You’re taking advantage of the lockdown to rip people off!! 🤬

  • katierobertson0 KatieRobertson (@katierobertson0) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia Hi yes I am I just want to speak to someone to see if I need and engineer or if there is a problem in area seems impossible trying to speak to anyone. Thanks

  • cherylockerby cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia I have had a letter to say my sons email address is sending spam emails. I have changed my password just in case but am having an issue with certain emails being undelivered. Have you put a spam indicator on my emails. This is causing me big problems

  • dlrwills Dan Williams (@dlrwills) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @virginmedia Internet is terrible lately. Good job I have mobile data otherwise I’d be living in the dark ages.

  • iestyntdavies Iestyn T Davies (@iestyntdavies) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Spudsghost @EE The @virginmedia crapness is to do with their router I think it’s useless and can’t send the WiFi through paper thin plasterboard or handle the TV signal

  • DjDonna105 Donna Wigmore (@DjDonna105) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @virginmedia is there a problem with service? online service status says no issues in area but phone and internet all down?! Been a few hours now.

  • TheMMEvent Mike Anthony Moreno (@TheMMEvent) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    How awful is the @virginmedia advert, the one with the kids singing. Use auto tune next time

  • Phoebe98935634 Phoebe (@Phoebe98935634) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia the state of your customer service is appalling. Your sales team pick up within 2 seconds but can’t get hold of ANYONE in troubleshoot for 2 days #Disappointednotangry #richardwhatyoudoing

  • katierobertson0 KatieRobertson (@katierobertson0) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia Ok thanks I have gone through the link a few times asking me to book engineer every slot I try tells me unavailable, I have rang just getting answer message saying problem in area but has been since Saturday I would like to speak someone if possible? Thanks

  • adelwire graham littler (@adelwire) reported

    @virginmedia I've just written to my local community group to advise them of @virginmedia poor customer service.

  • Biglad22Lee Lee Lynch (@Biglad22Lee) reported

    Anyone else find @virginmedia and the service they provide disgusting???

  • ianjohnson1965 Ian Johnson (@ianjohnson1965) reported

    @virginmedia @jon_weir They’re stalling everybody on endless issues, I think they’ve got some real issues and they’re not being up front with us customers. Can’t phone them and the help app not working properly either. I feel your pain 😡

  • rakb1889 Bish (@rakb1889) reported

    @virginmedia can you send me address for chief exec complaint please?

  • AdamJonMartin Adam Martin (@AdamJonMartin) reported

    @virginmedia will you ever bother to reply to my complaint email?

  • s711art ST👀 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈 (@s711art) reported

    Just got told by Virgin Media there is nothing wrong with my internet (that’s not been working for the last week) so they won’t send an engineer out unless I make a complaint that they won’t send an engineer out. No ******* wonder people drink.

  • Singh_Liverbird Super Singh (@Singh_Liverbird) reported

    @virginmedia if I wasn't happy with the service and nothing more she could do - my grandad has proof of emails and recorded delivery of letter he sent in December to cancel service. He wasted all his pay as you go credit while being on hold to speak to an agent...

  • GillCreative Gill Creative (@GillCreative) reported

    @virginmedia Ahh, there we go – you hung up the line a second time. Being a customer of yours is an unpleasant experience at times.

  • Gelio2466 𝔾 𝔼 𝕃 𝕀 𝕆 (@Gelio2466) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I need to speak with someone from customer service but can get through. How can I speak to someone please?

  • NMackichan Neil MacKichan (@NMackichan) reported

    @virginmedia just spent 1hr 25 minutes on the phone trying to cancel my contract and then got cut off. Losing the will to live. How do I do this easily. There is nothing on your website???
