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

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Just done that and again no issues reported. This is the second time this week I have had no connectivity. Just tried a reset and still nothing. How do I get an engineer out as this is becoming tiresome now given the price we pay.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Raexoxo___ Rae xoxo (@Raexoxo___) reported

    @virginmedia I need to DM you its about my 1st bill. When I signed up there was £150 bill credit & free setup no service fee/setup fee. I have been charged £35 for that & the £150 hasn’t been credited also haven’t received the unlimited O2 sim. I have screenshots from the order

  • jwec28 Coley B (@jwec28) reported

    @virginmedia Nope! Your website isn’t working cause you’re upgrading it. And even if I tried, the connection is so damn poor it fails to load. I genuinely got a 0.09mb download speed yesterday morning. This morning still at 5mb despite upgrading to 100mb

  • Robbie13YNWA Robbie (@Robbie13YNWA) reported

    @virginmedia Not great that really is it, third largest streaming service isn’t available.

  • DrDJLemon King of the Jiffs (@DrDJLemon) reported

    .@virginmedia can you tell me when the boardband outage in Salisbury area will br fixed?

  • lanepacer Jane Wells (@lanepacer) reported

    @virginmedia keeping me on hold whilst repeatedly offering me a £4 discount is not going to work. Please answer the phone, I have already told your telesales more than once that I want to cancel.

  • leesteane7 lee steane 🏆 (@leesteane7) reported from Bedworth, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract, is there a phone number i can call as i got cut off last night?

  • JoanneK39 Joanne (@JoanneK39) reported

    @CyberRebel4 @virginmedia It took days to access my email account. Over a week actually. I'm not sure what the issue was. Virgin Media were useless and very unhelpful.

  • rc_maz MazRC (@rc_maz) reported

    @virginmedia I agreed a contract in Nov, you have charged me over double each month since. Called and complained more than 10 times. No resolution. Can I please have my money back? I am so tired of dealing with your call centres who promise everything but do nothing.

  • zer0aster John Walker (@zer0aster) reported

    @virginmedia It says it is planned now, but I was not warned about it in the text about the outage on Friday, and the outage affects my business and my wife's business. It effectively wipes out our earnings for both days and both businesses!

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia what's going on still nothing no data no phone service nothing sort it out
