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

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

    @virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

  • 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!!!

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

    @denman79 @virginmedia The irony is that @virginmedia are more like the Pistols -‘No point in asking you’ll get no reply’ and they seem ‘Pretty Vacant’ but ‘Never mind all that…..’ can someone please take some responsibility and ownership that seems to be sadly lacking atm

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

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

  • Debbiejojessup Deborah Jessup (@Debbiejojessup) reported from Woodley, England

    Trying to cancel our Virgin Broadband what a nightmare. On hold for 90 mins still no one answers from the cancellation department. #virginmedia @virginmedia

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • nenevall derrick mulvana (@nenevall) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @OfficialRandL reading festival, the virgin media mobile network is on its knees with no internet connection across most of the site.. sort it out.

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Wired isn’t working either. I have no broadband, no WiFi, no service. Been like this since Saturday and intermittent since Jan/Feb.

  • tashaj1984 Natasha Gorrie (@tashaj1984) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have posted but not sure how a forum post will help. Can you advise of your official escalation complaint process

  • Tom38971529 Tom (@Tom38971529) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Well I would speak to a member of the team but always get the call cut short and I ask for a call back if the line goes dead. Twice yesterday ot happend Nd never got a phone call back

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

    Dear @VirginMedia, after 3x visits from technicians over 6 months (one of whom LIED about fixing bb/WiFi) I’m now back to no service (48 hours). Yes, tried rebooting, off/on etc, status says everything OK, Called yesterday and there IS an issue. When are you going to fix it?

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

    ‘ere, @VirginMedia, it’s been a full month now of totally unreliable service at my house; 5 engineers later, with the last call to 0345 454 111 on Friday saying you KNOW there’s a problem and it WILL be fixed in 24 hours. I called bullshit. I was right. Sort this out!!!

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

    @virginmedia It about moving house. As Virgin is unavailable at the new residence and the move is only temporary I was told in two separate calls that I could ‘freeze’ my account and now it’s come to it it seems that I have to keep paying whilst not receiving any service or buy myself out!

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

    @virginmedia Thanks I’m currently doing this now. So on the ‘phone once again for around an hour and been passed over and back and STILL no outcome a d still holding. Just waiting for the line to go dead as previous. When does a customer give up and just leave this shower for good?!?!?! 🤬🤬

  • Goldy73 GoldyMcGoldface (@Goldy73) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia The fact you have even done it without telling anyone is a shocking customer service move,especially in this day and age where a lot of people are working from home. Absolutely disgusting service I don't care how long it will take, I need to know of you plan to take it down so

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

    @Firesnapper999 @virginmedia It’s really frustrating; the third technician was brilliant, replaced everything almost like a new install and it worked great for just over a week. Now the status site says everything is good whilst a call to support says it isn’t. #Grrr

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

    @virginmedia Thanks. Done that. Multiple times. And over the last 6 months. And when I was an ntl: customer. And CableTel before that. 27 years of 56k > 350Mb and now it’s totally doing my head in. Unable to work from home properly. Boss won’t be happy!

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

    @virginmedia It’s more about how this can’t be dealt with online and spending a busy day trying to get to talk with someone who actually can help. #Disgraceful #expectedthis

  • appccessible Kevin McLaughlin (he/him) (@appccessible) reported

    Has any other @O2 customer noticed the major drop in customer service levels since @virginmedia took over recently? I left Virgin for that reason. Maybe O2 need to be dropped too.

  • poshgirl2000uk mandy Clark (@poshgirl2000uk) reported

    @virginmedia @Andy_Dempster It's useless virgin since I renewed my contract every month the TV goes down, s*it company s*it service..... Nomore renewing!!!

  • ChriMBow CMB77💙 (@ChriMBow) reported

    @virginmedia I have rang your company SIX times today to terminate my contract and the customer service has been beyond appalling to the point that I still do not trust that it has been done as I have received no email.

  • Andy_Dempster Andy (@Andy_Dempster) reported

    @virginmedia Engineer booked for Mon since I think its wall box causing problems since it was installed to boost power to the outside connections to cope with the faster speeds etc needed by hub4 and tivo.

  • robin_haughan Robin haughan (@robin_haughan) reported

    @virginmedia #virginmedia unfortunately this is the response every time #unresponsive no resolution, no one deals with the issue, it’s been 5 weeks!!

  • _MikeNg Mike Ng (@_MikeNg) reported

    @virginmedia Still waiting. Do you think waiting over an hour to be connected to an agent after being triaged by a chat bot is good customer service then?

  • meal_enjoyer Carlo 🇮🇹 (@meal_enjoyer) reported

    @david_harman_uk @virginmedia Yep. Seemed to be all across pboro as I'm in PE4 and I've seen couple others in town and PE7 having the same problem

  • mightyyid Les #COYS (@mightyyid) reported

    Thank you @virginmedia, no broadband until the 13th at least! #Le2 firstly we never get the speed we pay for, now we can’t even connect. My advice to anyone looking for broadband = Avoid Virgin, because virgin service and customer service is so poor #Le2 #Virginmedia

  • Craig_Hearne Craig (@Craig_Hearne) reported

    To Molly Mae, For 72 hours I’ve had no 4G at home, no mobile signal and when you use that 4G as your internet because you’re with virgin media who’s wifi is down longer than Margaret Thatcher it makes it really difficult to post content to my fans on Instagram and earn money.

  • MrsGandT Rachael (@MrsGandT) reported

    @virginmedia dear lovely Virgin engineers please, please, please fix our TV service before @MaskedSingerUK tonight as we have one little boy who is so excited to watch it and we currently have no tv at all.
