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

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Worst part of it @virginmedia is the way your customer service team speaks to customers. Quite appalling and in my experience always approached on basis that the customer is wrong. It consistently bad - to be told you don’t send texts when I clearly had two texts quite insulting!

  • gareth5274 gareth moore (@gareth5274) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia any chance of any help, been phoning since Friday and still getting nowhere. Ta.

  • woodyturts Alex Turton (@woodyturts) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia hey, it’s been slow going on broadband in GU14 since Tuesday.

  • 6thDr 6thdr (@6thDr) reported from Wokingham, England

    Today I finally changed my phone. Goodbye #virginmedia #virginmobile never again shall I have such awful customer service service.

  • DoughnutDoney Doughnut Doney (@DoughnutDoney) reported from Benson, England

    @virginmedia plz stop calling me asking if I want an upgrade. Been a loyal customer for over 15 yrs and its getting annoying now. Yes my phone is due for an upgrade but only when I want it. So plz when you say Im on the 'has been contacted list' stick with that 😞

  • PhilipFurlong2 Philip Furlong (@PhilipFurlong2) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia They say it's company policy and as it's with IT they can no longer help! 1 week and no further forward.

  • gregemmerson_ Greg Emmerson (@gregemmerson_) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Completed the tests with the app, one room poor coverage

  • BagshotTwit Paul Austin (@BagshotTwit) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia I upgraded to the Ultimate Oomph package in Jan but still waiting for the order to be completed. I’ve contacted customer services on numerous times but no success, I’ve also raised a complaint. How do I actually get some help to complete the order?

  • BagshotTwit Paul Austin (@BagshotTwit) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia I had my phone on me all day and didn’t have any missed call message. I have called numerous times and no progress. I understand you also can’t help me.

  • gonnella Pete (@gonnella) reported from Woodley, England

    @mattlintott @NetXL_dot_com Nice 👍🏻 got gig1 from @virginmedia but the upload is awful only 50mbit. Hope it gets increased to at least 100mbit soon.

  • McFadden1985 James McFadden 🎮 (@McFadden1985) reported from Camberley, England

    My @virginmedia has completely gone down. On a Friday night & good Friday of all days. TV is completely blank 😣

  • AlisonJaneWilso Alison Jane Wilson (@AlisonJaneWilso) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia truly awful company stuck in the dark ages why would you trust them with broadband when after 3 months notice to quit they take full payment and then you have to apply for a refund !!! Company run by dinosaurs looking for opportunities to rip you off when leaving !

  • AndyBarr79 Andy Barr 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@AndyBarr79) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Hi see first tweet in chain, I have been waiting on CS whom I called and raised a call back complaint request with before I tweeted my frustration

  • PhilStace20 Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Hey @virginmedia I forgot how awful you were when it came to anything other than collecting my direct debit. Apparently you don’t have a complaints dept, genius, and after 4 calls to you today totally around three hours, you cut two of them off during the musical interlude!

  • AndyBarr79 Andy Barr 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@AndyBarr79) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I can't sign in as I no longer hold an account, your CS don't care and obviously fobbing me off and not raising complaints as requested, I will just pursue via FCA and/or trading standards.

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

    @virginmedia having problems with internet in GU14. Will this be resolved soon

  • mkn1ght Ultra Mugnus (@mkn1ght) reported from Reading, England

    @monstroso @virginmedia A problem we all have.

  • a3racer Chris C (@a3racer) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia is there a fix time for the Virgin TV issue in the GU21 area? It’s been down now for over 24 hours! Will my account be credited with money that I have paid for no service?

  • ce141974 Caryn Sinclair (@ce141974) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is beyond bad!! When making a complaint because I have no internet your representative desires to shout over me! I’ve been waiting 3 days!! Shocking!!!

  • ambreenfarooq15 A (@ambreenfarooq15) reported from Reading, England

  • Paulcoles2 Paul.Coles (@Paulcoles2) reported

    @virginmedia Three hours now . i have no phone £11 in credit and work for NHS so need to be contactable . can you please help me get this PAC ,

  • MahmoonaShah Mahmoona Shah (@MahmoonaShah) reported

    @virginmedia Rubbish because we don't have fast broadband. Providers don't bother extending modern cabling to support faster speeds in city centre postcodes, eg BD1. When can we expect it?

  • johnmor65111412 john morgan (@johnmor65111412) reported

    @virginmedia Both... Worst experience on what was supposed to be a relaxing weekend not to mention the rude and ignorant staff that you employ. I want to be refunded for what I have not received over the past 10-12 months or have at least a reduced payments for the next 12 months, #shocking

  • AnnabelRose_ Annabel Rose (@AnnabelRose_) reported

    @virginmedia I emailed but never got a response 😭

  • mike72746 Michael Dawson (@mike72746) reported

    @virginmedia What is this WhatsApp rubbish, 3rd time I’ve been cut off web chat when being transferred to your customer care! To tell the truth, I don’t think virgin even know what a customer care team is or how to employ one! Appalling service!!!

  • UncleTony87 UncleTony87 (@UncleTony87) reported

    @virginmedia you have been worse then useless this last week. Internet keeps dropping (more than usual). The generic responses don't help and you expect people to pay more for this shoddy service can't wait till my contract ends. #virginmedia

  • ncosh nikki cosham (@ncosh) reported

    @virginmedia Phoned back today to be told we would be charged for an engineer to come out again! Absolute joke! Issue should be proven to be fixed before engineer leaves!!!!

  • PeaceyArt Peacey (@PeaceyArt) reported

    @virginmedia That doesnt work, tried on different devices already

  • martlet3 Andy Hudson (@martlet3) reported

    @virginmedia At what point do I have the legal right to cancel this ****.. 4 times down recently

  • DirteeTacticz D.T (@DirteeTacticz) reported

    @virginmedia 6 hours now… Didn’t want to draw this card but my best friend manages the biggest YouTube influencers in the country. Might be some bad press, not on Your front. You’ve been great as an individual, the company is abysmal.
