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

  • Flozephine Flo (@Flozephine) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia no broadband in RG12 for over an hour - can’t report on your service status page as it appears down? Any update gratefully received 🙏🏻

  • iszi_lawrence iszi (@iszi_lawrence) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia internet is down in RG30 (router is white but no internet). Checked on mobile I’m not the only one experiencing problems in the area.

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    Really hard to support brand @virginmedia and recommend them to anyone for Broadband. They may be the only competitor to BT but do you have to compete for last place?

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!

  • kerrynnewman Kerryn Newman (@kerrynnewman) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia what's going on with my internet. No notification of problems!

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • danbon1973 Daniel Bonilla (@danbon1973) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia how do I check my virgin status if the status page doesn't work? Is there an outage in GU21 area?

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Took out an @O2 account as part of some 'volt' deal with @virginmedia. My god O2 are bad. Apparently you have to wait a few months to access your account online to wait until their systems "catch up" for new joiners. Shouldn't have bothered.

  • reddobowen ☁️ Chris Reddington (@reddobowen) reported from Winnersh, England

    @virginmedia - Internet seems to have gone down in RG41, and your status page isn’t working. Can you confirm / when will it be back? Thx

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia And there you have the extent of VM customer care folks!

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia all week had total Broadband outages and down again now (past hour). Received a text from VM with link to follow (self help) and guess what, I need Internet to access! Trying to WFH just impossible. Every hour we have issues.

  • LesleeRBarron 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗻 🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇦 🍃💚🍃 (@LesleeRBarron) reported from Reading, England

    Just had a call from Jerry at Virginmedia media wanting to help me mend my broadband issues (that I don’t have). After challenging him he told me to find the largest ***** & shove it up my arse!! Charming!! His No. 02038399963 #virginmedia #ScamAlert

  • davedec60 Dave Crocker (@davedec60) reported from Reading, England

    So @virginmedia once more we have an outage, how many times now in the last 3 months? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Currently looking at switching supplier

  • AronGunningham Aron Gunningham (@AronGunningham) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia RG6 no service

  • DamienPSmith 𝓓 𝓪 𝓶 𝓲 𝓮 𝓷 (@DamienPSmith) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia how soon before that issue is resolved? I’m in the RG12 area? Trying to work from home

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @LudaLukeUK That webpage isn't working. Presumably because your network is down!

  • ABennell4709 Alex Bennell (@ABennell4709) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia broadband issues in RG10? Please could you look into ASAP? I have no connectivity at all. Thanks

  • petrograd15 petrograd (@petrograd15) reported

    @shanejunkin @garrethmcdaid @IrishTimes Great to see she managed to get a haircut despite wanting everything shut down for longer. I guess the tv appearances demand it. She doesn’t have the commitment of the bould Gerry Killeen who rocked onto Virgin Media wearing a mask

  • SophieSumerReed SophieEllisReed (@SophieSumerReed) reported

    @virginmedia She advised that I reply to (no reply) email address that my order confirmation came from to ask them for help, not sure how that would help? :( It just seemed like she didn’t care + she didn’t know anything about how the process from ordering the wifi to receiving the wifi works

  • endstown townswen (@endstown) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it was 2am for it to be fixed.. But hurrah it's back working.. Just as well we never missed any goals in the lost viewing of the first half. Virgin media 👎👎👎

  • leigherin88 Leigh (@leigherin88) reported

    @virginmedia Also, if you read the tweets, and look at the images, it’s painfully clear. You ignored me for 4 months, meaning I had to seek outside help, and then your company lied in order for the issue to be resolved.

  • 100Pringle Nellie (@100Pringle) reported

    @wendywooldridge @BritishGas You need to try and communicate with Virgin Media. I will never ever use their so called services again.

  • carlcod_es Carl Sargunar (@carlcod_es) reported

    @tvuug @AaronSadlerUK @UmbHost Sorry I missed it - I spent the evening trying to get the kids to sleep, and then trying to get my internet to work!!! Damn you Virgin Media!!!

  • DestinyRoja Destiny La Roja 💖 (@DestinyRoja) reported

    @virginmedia My internet is ridiculously slow and constantly crashing

  • Chris00281606 Chris (@Chris00281606) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm not sure if it's the new routers that have been brought out, but since we had this new one, the internet seems to be alot less reliable, wifi dropping off alot lot more, plus full signal and still is slow to open browsers sometimes, dunno if this issue is widespread.

  • mattou07 Matthew Hart (@mattou07) reported

    @ravimotha @carlcod_es @virginmedia Virgin charge way too much for what you get. I've never had any uptime issues with them tho. It's just the price that needs improvement.

  • nataliegosden Nat Gosden (@nataliegosden) reported

    @virginmedia EVERY NIGHT out wifi goes down and means we can't watch recorded programmes on the extra box we are paying for! Has been going on for weeks. You are a joke!!!
