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

  • LordConnaught John Mitchell (@LordConnaught) reported from Reading, England

    Day 4 of trying to get hold of @virginmedia technical support. Quite incredibly I just got a phone call from their marketing team trying to offer me deals. I said I didn't want any deals, I just want my Tivo box replaced as its broken. The woman hung up on me. Disgraceful.

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia I just want to cancel my contract. You are not a reliable company. You can’t even bother to speak with the customers that pay you.

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

    Dear @VirginMedia, are there problems in the GU14 area? Because the reliability of broadband here has been appalling since at least Thursday/Friday. You really need to sort it out, I have to WFH and my daughter needs to connect with her school.

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Yes and I’m still in a queue waiting for a response. I really don’t understand how this is so difficult. I just want to cancel my contact for a service you’ve lied to me be about being able to supply.

  • LordConnaught John Mitchell (@LordConnaught) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia day three of sitting listening to your hold music unable to speak to anyone. My Tivo has gone pop. Any chance you can help please?

  • neildrandall Neil Randall (@neildrandall) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia so frustrating...hub keeps resetting, i call for help and it tells me to reset the hub and hangs up.Why can someone not actually be available to speak when there is a problem.Hub is dropping internet 3-4 times every day this week-can someone please fix this!

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called twice now to cancel and was very specific the 2nd saying, and then sent me a £5 voucher. So why would I waste my time calling them a 3rd time? Everyone I’ve spoken to has been useless and unhelpful 755136803 Here’s my account number, can you cancel it please

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

    @virginmedia Hi, yep. It’s been poor for over 4 days and non-existent for nearly 36 hours. Yes, I’ve checked BB status, it’s supposedly OK, yes I’ve rebooted, yes I’ve factory reset, multiple times. Still no BB. Still have to go to office, no choice unfortunately. No BB = Big health risk🙁

  • RitchWaghorn Ritch Waghorn (@RitchWaghorn) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Was waiting over an hour on Saturday to speak with your customer services regarding an issue with my TV service. After which I was cut off . I tried again on Monday and was able to resolve the issue

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

    @virginmedia Oh... no, it’s down again. Nope, it’s back. Oh... and again, no BB. Wait, back on. Hurrah. Oh, no, back, nope, gone... There’s something seriously wrong with your service. Dead for 36 hours, back and now intermittent... in the middle of the night too! Who can fix this?

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Nope. No one has contacted me again, which is pretty much what I expected. If you want to come and do the outside work and fit the cables you’re more than welcome to. But my Sky broadband is being installed Wednesday so and I’ve tried to cancel my contract 3 times now so I’m done

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia You apologize??? Really??? In the middle of a pandemic , I am a key worker and had to work from home today band I have missed all the meetings. I wish I could cancel my contract and had nothing to do with Virgin ever again!

  • mattrobertsCFC Matt Roberts (@mattrobertsCFC) reported from Wokingham, England

    Poor quality streamed fight on SKY Box office through Virgin Media. Still an issue, been glitchy all night..... disappointed not clear for main event.... Will be complaining and demanding a refund @virginmedia @SkySportsBoxing @SkySports #skyboxoffice #virginmedia #AnthonyJoshua

  • join_the_Que quentin gunderson (@join_the_Que) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia is almost harder to leave than the EU! 3 days, 5 calls (4 hang ups!) Several wasted hours online.

  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Very poor service today - internet cut out at least three times, during separate on-line meetings -once at 9.50, once late morning, once mid afternoon. What was going wrong ? RG4 Area31

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia I’ve phoned up twice to cancel and you sent me a £5 off voucher so that clearly hadn’t worked. No one has responded to my message either so that’s not looking great either

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia But they don’t cancel when I ring up so why would I waste my time doing that. I’m not spending another hour on the phone to achieve nothing again.

  • KirstyMac712 Kirsty MacDiarmid (@KirstyMac712) reported from Fleet, England

    Hi @virginmedia really hard to work from home when the wifi keeps cutting out. We’ve not had a connection since 10.30 last night. Please help.

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Yes. We have been without internet in the area since yesterday and sit nice yesterday you are saying you will get it fix in the next 4 hours. Just now, another text that we’ll have to wait till 8 o’clock. This a joke, honestly 😡

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Why has it been so difficult to cancel. When I ring up your helpline why does the person who answer have no idea what they’re doing?!

  • ace_7744 Michelle Price (@ace_7744) reported

    @virginmedia I'm on a wireless connection, I will try the hard reset on the router to see if it solves the problem.

  • Davies133 Jim Davies (Ex Labour Thanks To Keith) (@Davies133) reported

    @virginmedia Blame was put on a network fault. Message then received advising network fault fixed & to reboot. Landline still only worked intermittently. Then advised engineer would connect phone to router & appointment would be received within 4hrs. Twice this promise wasn't honoured

  • clairybbomb claire black (@clairybbomb) reported

    @virginmedia is it normal to be on hold for over 1hr after speaking to a customer service agent?

  • StevieLouuu StevieLouise Palmer (@StevieLouuu) reported

    @virginmedia Why would I want more slots when the first appointment did absolutely nothing and the compensation of £9 discount off my bill (taking it down to £51!) means I still have expensive but crap internet?! I’m looking elsewhere for other providers thanks.

  • Silvana37542029 Silvana (@Silvana37542029) reported

    @FairyElephant @virginmedia Yes they are the worst company I ever saw it

  • Marlene01837906 Mars (@Marlene01837906) reported

    @virginmedia HOW HARD IS IT TO BECOME A NEW CUSTOMER??? 2nd time trying to sign up and AGAIN have to wait 2 months for an installation??? 2nd installation date cancelled two days before it's due. SORT IT OUT

  • Karan__Seehra Karan Seehra (@Karan__Seehra) reported

  • Weezy_IPD WEEZY (@Weezy_IPD) reported

    @virginmedia No i will just take legal action against you not one of your colleagues even resolved the issue

  • isjackwild Jack Wild (@isjackwild) reported

    @hmans @github I had a similar issue once with Virgin Media in the UK — it was blocking GitHub via ssh because of the Child Lock / Secure Browsing 'feature', so maybe check that.
