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

  • 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!! 🤬

  • PhilippaWillia1 Philippa Williams (@PhilippaWillia1) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia To be honest the telephone support from call centre was very poor. No answer to my request about customers who are vulnerable and who else I could talk to. Just “wait another 72 hours” .....It was email, Facebook and twitter messages that helped

  • 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

  • leohawkins123 Leigh Hawkins (@leohawkins123) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Once again still on hold from @virginmedia 24 mins takes the piss, to make a complaint the fact we have 1 of there team phone us 4 times a day for the same thing over a week,come on @virginmedia I know you need to promote your packages but 4 times a day for a week. Pls answer 📞.

  • DebbieWharton Debbie Wharton (@DebbieWharton) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @WillHayCardiff @virginmedia Same here, it’s awful. We can’t get hold of them and the website complaints section isn’t much help either!

  • TaffieBaggie Chris A. Stott aka Taffie Baggie (@TaffieBaggie) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @EmmaKlieve @virginmedia Heard there was an outage today from my complaints handler as I'm 6 weeks into investigations in why my hub still failing.

  • SAULYD_ saul (@SAULYD_) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia I cannot stress how ****** bollox your internet is. Honestly 1G would be 10x faster than your ****

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

    @virginmedia I have done everything you have asked me to do regarding my security issue. I have responded to your texts as requested. But you never respond as you say you will. Meanwhile, more letters and texts arrive. It is futile.

  • JasperDommett 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐭 (@JasperDommett) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @JohnsonGaza @virginmedia @VirginMediaCC @VMSolutions_ Having the same problem 😒

  • GreggC_CC Gregg 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@GreggC_CC) reported from Newport, Wales

    @rupinjapan @virginmedia I've lost my connection tonight myself. Guessing it's a network wide issue tonight

  • 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.

  • 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

  • PerformandGrow Sally Evans (@PerformandGrow) reported from Barry, Wales

    Please help! Data, sims, devices desperately needed by refugees at this time! @VodafoneUK @SMARTYMobileUK @TalkTalk @EE @orange @virginmedia

  • 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

  • judealdridge Jude Aldridge (@judealdridge) reported from Taff's Well, Wales

    Looks like @virginmedia having issues again!

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

    Good luck @virginmedia must have the worst post sales customer service in the known universe

  • FerriesAndy Andy Ferries (@FerriesAndy) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia who do I call to sort my internet issues. Work and homeschooling is hard without internet! Diagnostic tools online are not sorting the problem

  • 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 ****!

  • nicholasmith6 Nichola-Louise 💞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💞 (@nicholasmith6) reported from Cardiff, Wales

  • niamunna1 Nige (@niamunna1) reported from Newport, Wales

    @Nyge_79 @virginmedia Same here. Abysmal service. I'm often in a Zoom with 40 other people and I'm the only one who drops out.

  • RichardShead Richard Shead (@RichardShead) reported from Richmond, England

    @flying_cafe @TW11Harbour @virginmedia To add that’s on their website that they have updated regularly with timescales. Admittedly without the reasons for the outage.

  • NedKell99403028 Ned Kelly (@NedKell99403028) reported from Lambeth, England

    @EdieKelly25 @virginmedia Go outside and flag down a Virgin van, and get them to fix it. It's the only way, you get to talk to anyone. Their customer service is shite!

  • TicTac1985 Suzanne D Edwards (@TicTac1985) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia this awful service is part of the reason I'm leaving. Over an hour of trying to get told lines are busy, no queue or anything just call back later

  • stevegoodman Steve Goodman (@stevegoodman) reported from Nuneaton, England

    @andrew_kemp @bt_uk @virginmedia To be fair to VM I get excellent service round here. No FTTP available from BT though - I think the best I get is a paltry 16Mb/s. However the customer service.. not so good.

  • RichardDPoole Richard Poole 🔶 #Kohler4Wimbledon (@RichardDPoole) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Hi. I’m very well aware of the fault, the causes and the hard work your engineers are putting in to the fix the issue. All I and thousands of others want to know is a realistic timeframe to be reconnected. If we know it’s going to be days we can make alternative arrangements.

  • RachaelGreenyer Rachael (@RachaelGreenyer) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Day three of no WiFi or TV. Bit of a joke now @virginmedia #virginmediadown #VirginMediaoutage Do us a favour and give us a real fix estimate 😤

  • AnghellKim Kimberli Anghell (@AnghellKim) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Damn this #virginmedia again. I pay every month a lot of money and still now 3 days without internet and TV! And I'm sure that they will charge for this too 😡😠 #mad #needtowork #notnormal

  • chrisTstraker Chris Straker (@chrisTstraker) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia a still waiting for TV & broadband to come back into service !! Any ideas, other than the 4pm, that I’ve been told for last two days 😱

  • ali_bateman Ali Bateman (@ali_bateman) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia Everyone gets that. But changing the estimate 5 minutes before twice is poor. And give a realistic estimate in the first place so we can make alternative arrangements.

  • myatt1965 Jonathan Blackmore (@myatt1965) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Please stop sending me this template message! It is of no value to me as a customer!
