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

  • jade_steer Jade (@jade_steer) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    never normally tweet about this stuff but can’t let this one go. just had the absolute worst customer service experience with @virginmedia. horrendously snappy, rude, and impatient (even sighed at having to deal with our problem!)

  • ObsrvntPheasant Chris Roberts (@ObsrvntPheasant) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I tried texting that number and got no answer. I just tried calling the helpline, was on hold for about 20 minutes, was asked for all my contact details and then your operator told me her system is down and I should call back in 2 hours!!

  • WynfordE Wyn Emanuel (@WynfordE) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    As my @virginmedia bill is now creeping up towads 130pcm I called to cancel or negotiate. A small discount was offered. I was surprised how little effort was made to retain a customer. (‘OK, thank you for calling’). So I’ll have to switch.

  • sb208 Charliesays (@sb208) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Both wired and not, advised to turn off and back on, diagnostics checked at your end, engineer visit, resulted in all new v6 boxes (x2) and a new internet hub also internal wiring checked and re-connected. Issue seemed to be resolved for a while but after then goes off altogether

  • Dumbo7713 Dumbo (@Dumbo7713) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @garycymro @virginmedia Try TB home hub I'm with virgin there shit

  • sb208 Charliesays (@sb208) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia It’s been going on for months, I have had all new boxes and hub but it still goes down. I have been told to keep my local engineer up to date. There is nothing the help desk can do we have tried everything

  • ObsrvntPheasant Chris Roberts (@ObsrvntPheasant) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia No, I didn’t get any estimates. Just a generic “we’re sorry you’re still having issues, our engineers are currently working on it but it’s taking longer than expected” (something along those lines at least).

  • OrdinryGirl1987 OrdinaryGirl (@OrdinryGirl1987) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia new broadband routers now working, speeds dropped massively when I can get internet, tried for 14 minutes to get through to your customer service (being charged thanks for that) and can’t get access to my account as your team registered my email address wrong. Help!

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

    @AllyMcG4 @virginmedia That’s terrible

  • ObsrvntPheasant Chris Roberts (@ObsrvntPheasant) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Our internet has been down completely since early this morning (not intermittently like the automated message is suggesting) and I still don’t know if it’s a problem in the area, or just our own property.

  • 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

  • RPagey Richad Page (@RPagey) reported from Beechwood, Wales

    @virginmedia hey there been trying to get in contact with your complaints team for over an hour now regarding a second breach of data protection. After being in hold numerous times and then cut off can you give me any ideas how to contact them regarding this data protection issue

  • hannahughes Hannah Hughes (@hannahughes) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @emmah1188 @virginmedia Completely incompetent. Customer service is unacceptable. Unable to give a ‘goodwill gesture’ as we’re not account holders despite having an account number, set up a direct debit and signing a contract.

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

    I s2g, Virgin Media’s boosters are SO awful

  • ObsrvntPheasant Chris Roberts (@ObsrvntPheasant) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes, I understand that. But after signing up to SMS updates four times via two methods, I’d expect to at least be receiving texts telling me that the fix times have been pushed back.

  • apollobarc apollo barcelon (@apollobarc) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia i was promised that my broadband service will be ok today no internet service since friday and i come home today still no service i have been using up all my data on my phone

  • hannahughes Hannah Hughes (@hannahughes) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    It is beginning to look like @virginmedia have fraudulently sold us a package that was not available to me due to the many reasons that your various customer service team members mentioned before they hung up by putting me on “hold” and made me ring back...

  • ObsrvntPheasant Chris Roberts (@ObsrvntPheasant) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes, I understand that issues happen, but it would be nice to know more than just “we’re currently having issues”. If someone told me “a bolt of lightning from that thunderstorm you had hit the cabinet and fried it” or something, we’d probably be a lot more understanding.

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

    @virginmedia Keep having problems where, every few days or so, the booster loses connectivity with the base unit, resulting in it outputting no internet connection. On top of that, the speeds are less than half that of the main router (350 - 500 Mbps on our Hub vs 150 Mbps from booster)

  • sb208 Charliesays (@sb208) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    OMG forever having internet issues with #virginmedia even have my own direct line to an engineer.

  • coll34 Collette Elliott (@coll34) reported

    @virginmedia what are you going to do? You’ve lost my payment yet my services are restricted. Absolutely disgusting that there is no complaint number or number to missing payments. @virginmedia restore my services

  • LOV3SHUGZ Shugz (@LOV3SHUGZ) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service and complaints teams are useless. I just want confirmation that you have cancelled the contract and I have attempted every method to resolve this and will now be escalating to the ombudsman.

  • muttlysaid muttly (@muttlysaid) reported

    Virgin media You Are Awful The most annoying thing is I'm unable to switch because I have to pay for a BT Landline to be installed. So I'm stuck with them.

  • coll34 Collette Elliott (@coll34) reported

    To the assistant who I’ve just spoken to at @virginmedia I am NOT a liar. I’m a person with mental and physical issues and I’m being talked like a child. I’m going to the #media about this

  • coll34 Collette Elliott (@coll34) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken to 3 different people. Not 1 can help. YOU lost my payment not me. I will be getting advice in this

  • anna__cowan anna (@anna__cowan) reported

    @virginmedia i just spent ages getting through to someone, to only have them say 'hello' then hang up immediately after i speak? how can i speak to an actual human who will help?!

  • john_seto John Seto 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇪🇺 🚴‍♂️ ✈️ 🚅 (@john_seto) reported

    @KarlOnSea @virginmedia They know they can do it as so few people actually cancel and move. Same with mobile contracts, people will complain but do absolutely nothing about it.

  • MsStellaH Estelle✨ (@MsStellaH) reported

    @virginmedia is there a service issue in BS5 area. Can’t check the service status on your website, it’s not working.

  • JohnRelen1 Badmanners (@JohnRelen1) reported

    @virginmedia greetings from a former customer today I received a bill for 38 quid on February 27th you took the sum of £117.00 from my bank account and you disconnected my services at 23.59 on February 25th and I paid an electrician £76.00p.

  • craigt2801 Craig Thompson (@craigt2801) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is a joke. How do I cancel?
