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

  • mecompton74 Martin Compton (@mecompton74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia pathetic... entire service cancelled for six days without any notice... for repairs! 🤣 Awful company... @richardbranson you really need to be more careful about who gets to deliver franchised services under your Brand’s name. Truly awful... again!

  • pepetideo Pepetideo (@pepetideo) reported from Didcot, England

    After waiting for over 1 hour to talk to a human on @virginmedia, can't help but feel like I was being trolled by the choice of background songs. One says "I could get used to this", other about being down down down... Somehow I don't think this is the best choice of mood music.

  • debsw18 Deborah (@debsw18) reported from Hook, England

    @virginmedia customer service is beyond shocking. Reps don’t listen, lie and refuse to help. Icing on the cake is my graduate daughter having £123.34 taken from her account DESPITE being told this would NOT happen. Going round in circles. No one ever phones back.

  • aamer74 aamer habib (@aamer74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi which is supposed to be the fastest speed is down every day now since four days and comes on in the morning the next day this is unacceptable service

  • JoshGilpin Josh Gilpin (@JoshGilpin) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Your advisor would only provide the tracking number that I was already given the other day and told me to use that to find out what’s up with it, they were about as much help as yodels customer support

  • i96jms Jane (@i96jms) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia We are going around in circles. Your team just go through the same script each time we call. Please arrange escalation to a manager to investigate why your support team cannot resolve issues due to flawed process.

  • mecompton74 Martin Compton (@mecompton74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Can not wait until June 10th and we get to ditch @virginmedia - another issue with our service, but their service status page on their website is down so I have no idea what the problem is... #pitiful

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @AnnaCorderoy @virginmedia In my case it took about 2 months to get a reliable service restored.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria @AaronGaben Virgin says no issues in my area but all I am getting is flashing green arrows and no connectivity... full reset and switched off 3 tokes but to no avail.

  • mikeyh817 Mike (@mikeyh817) reported from Woodley, England

    Can I just say again @virginmedia is absolute shite. Had no internet for nearly an hour but “their system is down” so they can’t check it. Piss poor from this company

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia Thank you. Virgin Boffin says no issues in area. I have carried out 3 x fully resets and all I am getting is flashing areos and horizontal lines.

  • Jimbwlah James Milward (@Jimbwlah) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand how you can get away with 10%+ yearly bill increase with no service improvement. I’ve been with you for 15 years and enough is enough, I’m switching. No other company does this - I’m speaking to the communication ombudsman, it needs investigation

  • EJVMcLean Ed Vokes-Mclean (@EJVMcLean) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia is on demand and catch up showing faults as mine is not working again been playing up for two weeks now Gu14 9 area

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    Slightest hint of bad weather and here we go again. it's only slightly damp here but already working from home has failed before it's even started. Think its time to switch ISP as this is becoming all to frequent from @virginmedia.. 2 lost days of work/pay this mth already.

  • BRYCECHOBE Chobe Clarke (@BRYCECHOBE) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia no internet in Woking, always poor connection when I visit. 5g disappears, slow 2g. Now nothing. Father wasting money for this service.

  • sarahgtaylor sarahgtaylor (@sarahgtaylor) reported from Hurley, England

    Virgin mobile customer service is laughable. Can only use online chat if you want to buy something. #virgin #virginmedia #customerserviceorcustomercontol

  • i96jms Jane (@i96jms) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia When I phoned and used the chat they said the same thing. We have already called many times so would prefer you to discuss with your team and arrange a callback by someone who can help.

  • HappyH1983 Happyh1983 (@HappyH1983) reported from Reading, England

    When you ring @virginmedia to discuss your current package... 1st guy ruder than rude... Asked to talk to disconnections and get the best customer service. Turns out there was a deal to be made. Very happy now.

  • JulianHull Julian Hull (@JulianHull) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for replying TG, it’s back up now, however I do have a registered complaint about being charged £7.50 every month to upgraded to unlimited data on my broadband that has unlimited data.

  • chrisscoff Chris Scoffield (@chrisscoff) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia service is appalling. Engineer arranged last Friday for today. Didn’t turn up. Now told it had been cancelled and we were informed. Lies Lies Lies. Broadband is almost unusabale. Can’t wait for contract to end so we can get sky.

  • ThatLyndsey thatlyndsey (@ThatLyndsey) reported

    @NicLempriere @peteaylward @virginmedia It's a power play. They have to stick to this ridiculous farce/facade because if they back down/concede just once.... well, it sets a precedent: it puts them in a position of admitting the £40 charge is really just bullshit

  • CraigyP83 Craig Paterson (@CraigyP83) reported

    ******* raging that I can’t watch Real-Barca because @virginmedia are tinpot as ****

  • paul5132 Paul Taylor (@paul5132) reported

    @virginmedia and just to add to that. TV service is down in my area and you tell me engineers are working hard.... The hub is 20 yards from my house and nobody has been there at all!

  • superbowler4 Margaret Currie MBE (@superbowler4) reported

    @virginmedia after 2 decades of a very good customer service I am saddened to say we have decided to leave. So disappointed after the latest phone conversation and offer for new contract

  • Veron_Parsons Veronica Parsons (@Veron_Parsons) reported

    @misswish @CarrieHFletcher I can’t wait to leave @virginmedia in a couple of months. They are awful, keeps cutting out just stops working so much. Customer service is appalling. I’m going to move to BT

  • bluepepperaudio Gretschy (@bluepepperaudio) reported

    Hung on for 80 mins then you just cut the line.! Please help @virginmedia

  • katz404 Cathy Briggs (@katz404) reported

    @GaryWBacon @virginmedia They have been a nightmare!!! Called them four times about speed. Apparently the speed they advertise only applies to devices attached directly through ethernet cable, wtf. I thought buying a new router might be better but I might just change too. Who you change to?

  • jonathanboogles Jonathan Louis (@jonathanboogles) reported

    @LauraDuthie76 @virginmedia dont do that they fix the boxes but they dont charge you for engineer call outs not like these ive read comments from customers unbelieavable lot lot worse taking them to court or legal action or offcom to much to go on they are bad

  • scottmckinnell Scott Mark Mckinnell (@scottmckinnell) reported

    @virginmedia how can I cancel my internet services? Was sent an intelligent WiFi booster yet still constant buffering on the tv!

  • Rich_WWFC83 Rich. (@Rich_WWFC83) reported
