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

  • K74Marti Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    @lastdart @virginmedia I am with you on this one. They may have me over a barrel right now but when this is all over and normal service is resolved they can say farewell to this customer. If this is the way they treat loyal customer then #SirRichardBranson is in for a big expensive shock.

  • katesj1983 Kate (@katesj1983) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Already done that and run tests nothing..and it’s still a mess. My wired connections are also going super slow as well as WiFi

  • donnataylor7 Donna Webster (@donnataylor7) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I have resolved it now but I’m tired of having to fight to get a good service. I had to threaten to report it to Watchdog before getting through to someone who could help.

  • catch_cancer Catch Me If You Cancer (@catch_cancer) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia good afternoon. I've been on hold for 3 hours and been cut off twice. I'm a vulnerable customer and need to speak to someone

  • kyle2tweet kyle2tweet (@kyle2tweet) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia looks like I’ll have to cancel my direct debit coming out next month maybe that will get this call back I’ve been promised. Terrible terrible company!

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Followed all you suggested actions, and still no joy. Also have a complaint open COM103973949, someone should have got in touch within 24h. 2 days and still nothing.

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @sabrakhan @virginmedia Mine used to be fast but got very slow a couple of weeks ago

  • katesj1983 Kate (@katesj1983) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia It appears to be both..as both my WiFi and wired connections are being slow compared to usual

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia No known issues according to the tests but when I call your support they always say otherwise. I clearly have issues.

  • perrycoke Kezza 🙃 (@perrycoke) reported from Hurst, England

    @virginmedia I managed to get through to customer services in the end & now have an engineer booked for 2moro between 7am & 12pm. Going to cost me half a days work now.

  • ginaatinknight gina knight (@ginaatinknight) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia not think much if the service from virgin media so far not great for new customers

  • rohaaminho Najm Khan (@rohaaminho) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I signed up to your service & order a sim only deal. I’ve been trying to order another one but can’t log in to my account. Keeps saying there has been a problem and try later. This is my first ever experience with Virgin. I can’t log in nor can I place my order #firstimpressions

  • StJamesofFleet James Snyder (@StJamesofFleet) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia been on hold for 25 on a second call. The first disconnected. Problems with BB for three days and now the hub doesn’t even power on after an apparent update!

  • roballan07 Rob Allan (@roballan07) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Yes when talking about the quality of customer service I have received from @virginmedia in the past week.

  • Cooper100Nicola Nicola Cooper (@Cooper100Nicola) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m still waiting for someone to reply to me about my bill. I get cut off when I try to phone, the online complaint form receives an error on every submission, there is no chat functionality available and I can’t get a reply in social media. Please advise ASAP. Thank you.

  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia how do I cancel my contract with you. My broadband is constantly going down and for the price I pay your services are not worth it especially as i am on limited money. So I am looking at going to sky thank you

  • rohaaminho Najm Khan (@rohaaminho) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Is this related to this breach. If not that’s even worse and just says the service is really bad

  • perrycoke Kezza 🙃 (@perrycoke) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia twice I’ve been on hold to customer service for 25mins only to get cut off. My broadband & TiVo hasn’t been working since 4pm. I’ve tried restarting the hub many times, checked the connections as well. I work from home & this is not what I need right now.

  • kyle2tweet kyle2tweet (@kyle2tweet) reported from Bracknell, England

    @JackSheaFFC @virginmedia I know so if I’m waiting for a call back then OBVIOUSLY I’ve already raised a complaint 🤣 no common sense with this company!

  • donnataylor7 Donna Webster (@donnataylor7) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t receive my new contract on April, was not told of 6 month discount price shot up and I had to fight to get my billing date changed. Overall not a good service 😡. Took me over 30 mins on telephone to try and resolve

  • EdgeOfAbyssSotf Dave Hodgson (@EdgeOfAbyssSotf) reported

    @virginmedia so would like you to have a manager call me as i put a complaint in for 50 mins which then this manager said he would not have any one call me back about it as it was about him as he hung up the phone ???? is this normal practise ???

  • Karengale58 Karen Gale (@Karengale58) reported

    Thank you @virginmedia I spend 40 minutes on the phone waiting for you to answer then when you answer me and put me on hold to sort out my problem I have a auto message telling me your now closed and cut me off, 😡 I am not impressed at all

  • mattbloke33 matt (@mattbloke33) reported

    @virginmedia The call today told me it expired at the end of last month. The caller was trying to pressure sell me into a new contract and equipment and different packages of which I had no interest in. They had no interest in helping to resolve this (or keep me as a customer)

  • Aly_00000 Aly (@Aly_00000) reported

    Trying to get through to customer service at @virginmedia seems to be impossible! Anyone else tried talking to at least 3 customer advisors who hang up once you ask for help with your account?#dissapointingservice #virginmedia

  • NikkiCer1 Nikki (@NikkiCer1) reported

    Hi @virginmedia I have just renewed my contract with you. Received a text to confirm and get stuck on I AM NOT A ROBOT. I have cleared cookies and issue persists. Does this mean my contract is invalid? On the app there is no way for me to click I consent to contact. Pls help!!

  • Southflint Eliot Carroll (@Southflint) reported

    Seriously @virginmedia Your service is appalling. I’ve had to battle to try & get anything done. I then get a random call saying if I don’t commit now to a new contract my fees will be going up. Do you actually want to retain any customers?

  • usama_555 USAMA SHEIKH (@usama_555) reported

    @virginmedia I have experienced the worst customer support from a company. Regret taking out the contract with you !!

  • thlama3 thlama (@thlama3) reported

    @WGL1878 @virginmedia Have you tried reaching out to @HaviTech1 for assistance and support, he helped me with the issue I had, they can help you

  • alexandraellson alexandra ellson (@alexandraellson) reported

    @virginmedia why is there never a manager available and why do your staff keep hanging up when asked to sort out a problem. Your customer service is horrendous

  • BMcK123 Billy (@BMcK123) reported

    @virginmedia Seems to happen quite a lot. Poor service really
