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

  • benj8min Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Another day in the life of a @virginmedia customer. TV showing fault. Ran online diagnostics, didn't fix. Site says to call. Call. Go through menu, TV, fault... sends me a text with a link to online diagnostics, says "thanks for calling" and hangs up. Worst. Company. Ever.

  • jonny_ex9 Jonny Ex 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇬🇷 (@jonny_ex9) reported from Cathays, Wales

    Imagine my shock that @virginmedia is down AGAIN. Please fix it

  • MaartenSleeckx MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia Screw you. Only me dying bothers anyone, literally anyone, it's always impossible to help me until people understand that I will kill myself. You're no better than them. See you in 2 weeks or not "AB".

  • stuart_chc Stuart Ropke (@stuart_chc) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @eggynewydd @virginmedia Dismally slow. Yes.

  • amandaroberts10 amanda roberts (@amandaroberts10) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia is there a problem in the CF23 area ... no WiFi??

  • gareth_thmpsn Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia You really aren’t reading the messages, I’ve now told 3 different channels of my mothers death, I’ve called bereavement line to be hung up on, then closed early. I want a complaint raised, @Ofcom can you help?

  • andylance1977 andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia It works intermittently. This has been discussed over a series of phone calls through 12 months. A booster box has been sent too and its still poor. We're paying for a service we can't use when we want to. The TV box is next to the WiFi box downstairs & is still poor.

  • macauc01 Christina Macaulay (@macauc01) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia terrible service. You booked to install my equipment on 13th Dec 2023. Wrong year and no one will sort it out. Your fault entirely

  • ChrisSwinglis Dr Chris Inglis (@ChrisSwinglis) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.

  • gareth_thmpsn 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?

  • thelee_x_w lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Word of warning avoid @virginmedia 4 wifi like the plague. I rarely get even 20% of advertised speeds & the CS team are next 2 useless. Paying 4 daily disappointment that upsets the kids. Will never go back 2 them ever. Worst service I ave ever received @EE was so much better

  • andylance1977 andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia why does it seem impossible to sort my TV and WiFi out? My partner has been phoning up on and off for a year or more about poor signal, not being able to use catch and apps and general poor service. Just get fobbed off.] Is this how you treat all customers?

  • GiantVeg Kevin Fortey (@GiantVeg) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @emmalunn @virginmedia Absolutely. Just had to improvise from a mobile phone with similarly shocking service too

  • thelee_x_w lee williams (@thelee_x_w) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @virginmedia The image attached shows you have notified me of an issue

  • NobbyD27 Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia Cancel the contract and go to Sky

  • GillibrandPeter Peter Gillibrand (@GillibrandPeter) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

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

    @virginmedia I have a TiVo box but my tv screen keeps pixelating. It is not restricted to 1 channel. I have turned the box off at the plug but it has made no difference. Can you help?

  • markccfc70 Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Been with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.

  • MaartenSleeckx MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia Clearly not as the issue keeps coming back after multiple engineer fixes outside AND in my home. You're lying through your teeth and leaving me in the dark literally. Stop hiding behind "standard business" replies, be human and help me.

  • benj8min Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I dunno mate, that's why I tried to call you lot. You can't help, so don't worry about it. Another weekend without TV and internet, waiting for your engineer to turn up. Another complaint. Another refund.

  • KashyapSurya surya kashyap (@KashyapSurya) reported

    @virginmedia I have checked everything and tried every available option on Google and Virgin media website but nothing helped, I’m just disappointed because this wasn’t an issue for 14 months and now I’m facing this

  • caneton81 Stuart Stretton (@caneton81) reported

    @virginmedia Is that a direct number for Cancellations or do I need to go through all the crap again for the 362nd time? And is the call answered immediately or will I be on hold for hours. You have no idea how angry I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • deemurphy131 Deirdre Murphy (@deemurphy131) reported

    @VirginMediaIE is there any technical support on a Sunday, my father is having constant difficulty with his virgin media internet but I can’t find any way to talk to anyone today! Very frustrating company to deal with!!!

  • dhrutishah Dhruti Shah (@dhrutishah) reported

    Hello @virginmedia, we are having significant issues with your customer service team. They keep messing up legal contracts and then have now removed a package we pay for. This is ridiculous. An agent just now put us on mute in the middle of a conversation and didn't return.

  • FieryPolka A (@FieryPolka) reported

    @virginmedia Sure, so long I'm put through to someone that can help, thanks.

  • Cwilliams369 Chris williams (@Cwilliams369) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, my internet has been terrible for weeks I asked for a call back which never happened. I’ve tried all the steps online and now just need to speak to the tech guys

  • MissBeckford1 Insert name here (@MissBeckford1) reported

    @virginmedia Good luck recovering that fee aswell then! I’m out of contract on the account mentioned, have set up a new account in my new property and don’t see why it is my responsibility to keep ringing to cancel when I’d already set up my home move in November!

  • MissBeckford1 Insert name here (@MissBeckford1) reported

    @virginmedia I rang on Black Friday back in November, got a deal as a new customer for 200mbp broadband, 190 channels and landline phone for £45 a month…..I then CANCELLED the £43 100mbp broadband only for my old property which I moved out of on the 1st December!

  • ChrisSmith10_ Chris (@ChrisSmith10_) reported

    @virginmedia Can I raise a complaint please, have tried talking in the phone and through WhatsApp and fobbed off both times. Not happy

  • benjones1977 Ben Jones (@benjones1977) reported

    @virginmedia yet again your Internet has gone down. Time for me to move to BT. Please let me get out of my contract so I can actually get a service I pay for.
