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

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia I just want to cancel my contract. You are not a reliable company. You can’t even bother to speak with the customers that pay you.

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Why has it been so difficult to cancel. When I ring up your helpline why does the person who answer have no idea what they’re doing?!

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    Dear @VirginMedia, are there problems in the GU14 area? Because the reliability of broadband here has been appalling since at least Thursday/Friday. You really need to sort it out, I have to WFH and my daughter needs to connect with her school.

  • LordConnaught John Mitchell (@LordConnaught) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia day three of sitting listening to your hold music unable to speak to anyone. My Tivo has gone pop. Any chance you can help please?

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia I’ve phoned up twice to cancel and you sent me a £5 off voucher so that clearly hadn’t worked. No one has responded to my message either so that’s not looking great either

  • neildrandall Neil Randall (@neildrandall) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia so frustrating...hub keeps resetting, i call for help and it tells me to reset the hub and hangs up.Why can someone not actually be available to speak when there is a problem.Hub is dropping internet 3-4 times every day this week-can someone please fix this!

  • mattrobertsCFC Matt Roberts (@mattrobertsCFC) reported from Wokingham, England

    Poor quality streamed fight on SKY Box office through Virgin Media. Still an issue, been glitchy all night..... disappointed not clear for main event.... Will be complaining and demanding a refund @virginmedia @SkySportsBoxing @SkySports #skyboxoffice #virginmedia #AnthonyJoshua

  • KirstyMac712 Kirsty MacDiarmid (@KirstyMac712) reported from Fleet, England

    Hi @virginmedia really hard to work from home when the wifi keeps cutting out. We’ve not had a connection since 10.30 last night. Please help.

  • LordConnaught John Mitchell (@LordConnaught) reported from Reading, England

    Day 4 of trying to get hold of @virginmedia technical support. Quite incredibly I just got a phone call from their marketing team trying to offer me deals. I said I didn't want any deals, I just want my Tivo box replaced as its broken. The woman hung up on me. Disgraceful.

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Oh... no, it’s down again. Nope, it’s back. Oh... and again, no BB. Wait, back on. Hurrah. Oh, no, back, nope, gone... There’s something seriously wrong with your service. Dead for 36 hours, back and now intermittent... in the middle of the night too! Who can fix this?

  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Very poor service today - internet cut out at least three times, during separate on-line meetings -once at 9.50, once late morning, once mid afternoon. What was going wrong ? RG4 Area31

  • join_the_Que quentin gunderson (@join_the_Que) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia is almost harder to leave than the EU! 3 days, 5 calls (4 hang ups!) Several wasted hours online.

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia But they don’t cancel when I ring up so why would I waste my time doing that. I’m not spending another hour on the phone to achieve nothing again.

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Nope. No one has contacted me again, which is pretty much what I expected. If you want to come and do the outside work and fit the cables you’re more than welcome to. But my Sky broadband is being installed Wednesday so and I’ve tried to cancel my contract 3 times now so I’m done

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Yes. We have been without internet in the area since yesterday and sit nice yesterday you are saying you will get it fix in the next 4 hours. Just now, another text that we’ll have to wait till 8 o’clock. This a joke, honestly 😡

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called twice now to cancel and was very specific the 2nd saying, and then sent me a £5 voucher. So why would I waste my time calling them a 3rd time? Everyone I’ve spoken to has been useless and unhelpful 755136803 Here’s my account number, can you cancel it please

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Yes and I’m still in a queue waiting for a response. I really don’t understand how this is so difficult. I just want to cancel my contact for a service you’ve lied to me be about being able to supply.

  • RitchWaghorn Ritch Waghorn (@RitchWaghorn) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Was waiting over an hour on Saturday to speak with your customer services regarding an issue with my TV service. After which I was cut off . I tried again on Monday and was able to resolve the issue

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia You apologize??? Really??? In the middle of a pandemic , I am a key worker and had to work from home today band I have missed all the meetings. I wish I could cancel my contract and had nothing to do with Virgin ever again!

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yep. It’s been poor for over 4 days and non-existent for nearly 36 hours. Yes, I’ve checked BB status, it’s supposedly OK, yes I’ve rebooted, yes I’ve factory reset, multiple times. Still no BB. Still have to go to office, no choice unfortunately. No BB = Big health risk🙁

  • goth__peach MJ is a College Grad #Free-Palestine (@goth__peach) reported

    It should be illegal for virgin media to force me to ring them to cancel my WiFi contract 😭😭😭

  • iainw_78 Iain Wightman (@iainw_78) reported

    @CatrionaShearer @virginmedia I had to fit my own ‘mesh’ system in my house for our virgin broadband as it was terrible. Our hub is just where the internet comes in, we use a TP link deco system now that comes off the hub. Virgin will offer a booster for £10 a month (which are rubbish).

  • BSabeji Sabeji (@BSabeji) reported

    @virginmedia I opened a forum post around a month ago with the same issues, and again, it ended up being over utilization issues, and nothing has changed really since. I'm fed up of being messed about in the endless circle that seems to be virgin medias issues.

  • Jazzlemore Jazz (@Jazzlemore) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah we have a TP Link that's also not working

  • todd_boyce Todd Boyce (@todd_boyce) reported

    @virginmedia Okay you really are *************** now. The response I always get when I phone the number is that engineers are working on the problem and that nothing further can be done. If you want to deal with this you contact me. You have the ref & contact info. Do your job.

  • Foodie_Lou Louise Harney (@Foodie_Lou) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t think that is an appropriate approach for them. They’ve want traditional style customer support. What to they have to do to get a real person over the phone?

  • Waz96970072 Waz (@Waz96970072) reported

    @virginmedia I am extremely disappointed with the broadband customer service. They have failed to resolve the issue, failed to deliver the minimum guaranteed speed, installed connection without checking the faulty cables, caused damage to my property and refuse to listen.

  • lifebymike Skilldo Bawbaggins (@lifebymike) reported

    @CatrionaShearer @1030 @virginmedia Virgin tried raising my bill from £32 to £47 earlier this year. I said I was leaving and they reduced in to £30 for 18 months. It's internet only but it includes a landline which I have never used. £112 extra for TV channels seems ridiculous.

  • aryan86 Shaun (@aryan86) reported

    @virginmedia The text service is another BOT - So as ineffective as the online chat (that I waited 2 hours for) The information on the website cant help me. The lady I spoke to is supposed to be helping. But she called the wrong number. Can you sort it so she calls me back please

  • EmBee52555474 Mrs B (@EmBee52555474) reported

    @virginmedia My father in hospital. My father in law in hospital. A cancer diagnosis in the family. I have enough stress!! I want to cancel all services with you and no one helps me!! I’ve spent almost 3hours on hold when I could have been in hospital this morning!!
