Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Penarth, Wales
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Penarth and nearby locations:
-
Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia With respect, your customer service advisors are useless. As is the technology for contacting them. As per my initial message. Last time I went through this I was booked a chat appointment by your twitter team with someone who specifically handled the complaint.
-
Trudi Foster (@MsWhippet1) reported from St. Julians, Wales@virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.
-
Fred Jones (@fredljones_) reported from Barry, Wales@virginmedia online chat not working, on hold for hours and not responding on WhatsApp?! How do I get hold of you to cancel my service ffs...
-
Nathan Rhys George (@orangethunder_) reported from Cardiff, WalesI feel awful for the @virginmedia social media staff. Bosses - invest more in infrastructure to genuinely improve services and stop these poor people being treated like ****. Also, pay your taxes.
-
𝘑𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯 (@JamesMartin02) reported from Pontypridd, Wales@virginmedia I’m trying to end my contract with yourselves. Which is proving an impossible task When I PRESS 1 on the phone to get through to someone, the phone line goes dead? Appreciate any help.
-
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…!
-
Noga Fett (@darth_noga) reported from Barry, WalesAbsolutely shocking service from @virginmedia a 47% price increase for a customer of over 25 years and would rather lose a customer than give us a deal that new customers get. @BTCare @SkyHelpTeam can you do any better?
-
MH 🏴🏳️🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia @O2 Why is your Hotspot so poor? Never connects!
-
Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Rather than patronise me just offer a good service snd get it sorted tomorrow.
-
Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.
-
damian Kerlin 🏳️🌈 (@damianKerlin) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Yes, and it is a different issue every time. How, in a capital city, is this happening everyday, with your engineers unable to do anything to improve the situation. …and what about that refund, as we are paying for internet which we are not getting?
-
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.
-
Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia still waiting since 7.30 am for the engineer to come to sort out the problems we are having, he’s 25 minutes to get here ( we were given 7.30-13 slot) still no tv since Thursday!
-
Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I’m fuming! We were lied to by their customer service , promised an engineer this an no one turned up now been told by customer service that we won’t have one until tomorrow #nithoodenough
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia calling takes too long, always on hold for over an hour, and they never deal with the problem, the person on WhatsApp actually dealt with it which is why I was wanting to carry on using WhatsApp?!
-
Sam Sims (@mantha_1976) reported from Newport, Waleshey @virginmedia I have a contract that says my price is set to Jan 2023 and I negotiated the deal with customer retention as not the account holder bit authorised to talk on behalf of the account holder and now I've got customer services flat out lying toe on WhatsApp (1)
-
Mento5 (TAFKAB) (@Mento56) reported from Church Village, Wales@DwyKev @virginmedia Their appalling customer service was the one thing that made me decide to stick with Plusnet rather than switch to them, despite a very attractive offer.
-
Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales@syeporter180 @virginmedia I’m on virgin and it’s not that great Sye, I was going to sky before I renewed but had the same problem as you because I’d of had to wait months for BT to install a cable so just stuck to the devil I know in the end
-
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫 (@3EyedTiger) reported from Caerphilly, Wales@virginmedia Cheers, still down this morning - tried another 2 router reboots at 6am and 7:30 respectively but was no better, solid red light, etc.. Will try again at midday
-
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".

P.J (@creepingjesus00) reported@virginmedia Hi sent you a DM due to lower speeds on broadband but paying for a 1gig service.
-
Tilal Manzoor (@tilalx) reportedHi @virginmedia, I've been without Internet & Landline services for 5 days, everyday am assured someone is fixing the service. Nobody comes, help desk have no information where the engineer is or why they don't show; Everyday I am told to be patient. Pls remedy this failure
-
Sugar_Rayne (@Sugar_Rayne) reportedIs there an issue with the Internet in the L14 area, mine keeps dropping off 🤔 @virginmedia
-
Leigh Gow (@LeighHutch90) reported@coophos @virginmedia It’s terrible isn’t it.
-
A.Brown (@_DundeePerfect_) reported@virginmedia Read things accurately I never said that I do. I would not be mad enough to think I can run a Game and Stream a Picture in 4K using wifi... I don't use wifi in the house at all, TVs and PC are wired, only my Mobile connects to wifi but only to save Data when at Home.
-
Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reportedDo yourself a favour. DO NOT use the one touch switch service with @SkyUK or @virginmedia. Still paying for both for weeks. Virgin continues to bill me despite me having sent back their equipment. The whole thing is a con. Be warned. @Ofcom
-
Andy Nicholls 🫧⚒️✝️ (@andy_nicks60) reported@NightAtKendalls @virginmedia Dump em mate service is shite
-
APTS Archive (@APTSArchive) reportedQuick update following my post - I did have a DM discussion with VirginMedia. Apparently all refunds are process via cheque payments and posted to you - and I’ve got to wait up to 45 days - yes 45 days for the cheque. If I’ve not received it by then I’ve got to contact them again and they will investigate why - probably waiting another 45 days. This is disgusting behaviour @virginmedia, despite it being so called company policy. You took £1,070 from our account despite assurance the equipment return date had been extended, causing us to be overdrawn, yet you now hang on to our money for up to 45 days! It doesn’t take 45 days for a computer to print a cheque!
-
David Ratcliffe (aka Centurions_War) (@Dratcliffe1986) reported@virginmedia @ExeterBub Are repairs for no service supposed to be 48hrs from when reported? Id raise to the issue to ofcom, make sure Virginmedia keep to the extended time frame and provide full compensation and refund for the lost TV access

Paul Greenwood (@PaulGr1969) reported@virginmedia whoever got this text message saying dont unplug for 72 hours virgin media are telling everyone that they are fixing an issue you reported,I have reported anything I think these lot are up to something we all need to report virgin media
