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

  • EllenParker6 Ellen Parker (@EllenParker6) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia 4 month countdown to get rid of you your customer service is beyond rude. Your technical support is lacking in manners and availability. @SkyUK we are on our way back sorry for leaving biggest mistake ever. We may have saved £20 but not worth the shit service

  • HayleyaReed hayley reed (@HayleyaReed) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @virginmedia why does it take so long to get through to your cancellation team or is there that many people getting rid of your services due to the shocking customer service!

  • mikeenea Michael Enea (@mikeenea) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @virginmedia down yet again. Last month, the broadband has gone to shite. Very frustrating. Seriously giving thought to switch supplier now (first time in 10 years).

  • HenLifeModelGuj Arty Hen Party (@HenLifeModelGuj) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @keeleyscorner @AngieCQuinn @virginmedia Virgin is fine on the whole. It uses the EE network

  • AChinnick90 Andrew Chinnick (@AChinnick90) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @RSpencer100 @virginmedia TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

  • philmonkey Phil Rogers (@philmonkey) reported from Ponthir, Wales

    @virginmedia @DannyHackett Be careful with the fob offs Danny - if it’s a connection problem (not your in house WiFi) then Virgin, as with any other cable company, can see your connection status from the modem to their services via DOCSIS and also should be able to see logs too 😉

  • philmonkey Phil Rogers (@philmonkey) reported from Ponthir, Wales

    @DannyHackett @virginmedia If they’re saying it’s an area fault maybe the signal to the box isn’t within the acceptable conditions so it has to reconnect often. Same problem in Dartford but fixed on their end after several calls...

  • cardiffsworker Ann-Marie B 🧜🏻‍♀️💃🏻🎓⭐️ (@cardiffsworker) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Needs must 😁but would appreciate virgin sorting the problem asap

  • tonyboyXV Anthony Malfatti (@tonyboyXV) reported from Barry, Wales

    @AllyMcG4 @virginmedia That’s terrible

  • IAmMartJohn Mart Verallo John (@IAmMartJohn) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    I know I'm flogging a dead horse where with this customer service tweets. But I've spent a collective hour and a half on hold trying to cancel @virginmedia as they only let you do it through the phone, but don't actually pick up. Genius idea really

  • bighumphs Steve Humphreys #FBPE (@bighumphs) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia more crap service - this time with your mobile network

  • rhysmorgan Rhys Morgan (@rhysmorgan) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    I s2g, Virgin Media’s boosters are SO awful

  • BeckyyBuzz Becky...xx (@BeckyyBuzz) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia I now know what the issue was. I w contacted by a fake virgin account

  • LouisPMertens Louis Mertens (@LouisPMertens) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    1/2 My exp. with @VirginMedia has been a farce involving incorrect contract lengths, engineers insisting my package can't be installed bc customer service sold me a service that doesn't exist, phone calls from Virgin saying the engineers are wrong...

  • philmonkey Phil Rogers (@philmonkey) reported from Ponthir, Wales

    @virginmedia @DannyHackett Had a moment around a decade ago where they sent me through the song and dance of rebooting etc. So I cut it short, told them to look at the signal levels. They did. We agreed that it’s not localised to my property, they fixed. No pointless faffing.

  • cardiffsworker Ann-Marie B 🧜🏻‍♀️💃🏻🎓⭐️ (@cardiffsworker) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia omg going to miss @C4Gogglebox no C4 on virgin media #help

  • GarethWHeating Gareth Williams (@GarethWHeating) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia I was told there was a problem with the cell that has now been rectified. There was nothing at all wrong with the phone but it cuts out all the time. Always has...

  • reddevil1975 Leanne Everest (@reddevil1975) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia Why is my ITV wales signal down yet again. Thank god for Channel 853 or I would be missing my fave #loosewomen

  • BeckyyBuzz Becky...xx {TeEm} (@BeckyyBuzz) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia I have currently reset the family wifi box three times now and have no internet or wifi. I do not know any of the account details as it's all in my dads name but we have no service be would like the issue resolved if possible

  • IDLLAP Ian Davies 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇪🇺 🏳️‍🌈 #IDIC 🖖🏻 (@IDLLAP) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @virginmedia after your poor installation at my brother's house, cable running across the hallway, you now want to charge him to put your mistake right. He shouldn't be charged for your engineer leaving a trip hazard

    @Oscarmeg @virginmedia @OfficialPDC No TV channels FY4 area.....absolute joke, now saying will be 29th December before issue is fixed..No TV over Christmas!

  • PaulDawson1701 Paul Dawson (@PaulDawson1701) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve spoken with your customer service team but they aren’t able to sort anything until the fault has been rectified

  • drkcmpbll RUNDMC (@drkcmpbll) reported

    Honestly can't believe how much @virginmedia is letting me down. 23/12 no broadband. Service update says it'll be fixed by 12pm 23/12, then pushed out to 12:25am 24/12. Now showing 12:00pm 24/12. I guarantee no one is out working to resolve right now. Down tools.

  • lovemojo1991 Daughter of the king ✝ the lion 🦁 of judah✝ 🕊 (@lovemojo1991) reported

    @virginmedia yet again WiFi not working....shocker

  • gazbill61 G D ‘Peng’ 🔥🔥😁 (@gazbill61) reported

    When is the tv coming back on for Fy3 7df, its been off for 3hours 30mins now #notconnected://www.virginmedia.com/help

  • OhThisBloodyPC Oh This Bloody Computer (@OhThisBloodyPC) reported

    @RobLainton @virginmedia Virgin grew by buying cable TV co's with incompatible systems, like a first draft Frankenstein with parts supplied by Noah. Once it had deceived the market over its 'State of the Ark' systems, admitting its problem was never an option. So it must lie, damn lie and advertise

  • thenitinsinha Nitin Sinha (@thenitinsinha) reported

    @VirginMediaIEPR I have been trying for last months and 10 days to get connection. Although wiring is done , your system shows broadband not available . My property manager has mailed as well . This is pathetic customer service . @virginmedia

  • gazbill61 G D ‘Peng’ 🔥🔥😁 (@gazbill61) reported

    @virginmedia **** service, no television Fy3 7df(which I pay for!!), no communication, freeview here I come #notconnected

  • AlanAudioMan Alan AB 🗣🎙 (@AlanAudioMan) reported

    @virginmedia Yep. Checked it twice...like Santa. Nothing in email, to which I'm now on hold to the 'Tech Team'. 57 minutes on a call, still waiting for a resolution. #Grinched

  • 19JRT93 JosephRichard (@19JRT93) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for reply. We have already called repair team, they were unable to help and then informed us that we would be at least 5 days without TV. So that’s the entire Christmas holiday without TV. They’ve been with VM for over 10 years and never had service this bad.
