Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Reading, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Reading and nearby locations:
-
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!
-
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!
-
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!
-
Carol Rothwell (@CarolRothy) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia hello. Please could you advise how on earth I get in touch with someone by phone??. I’ve spent 15 mins navigating website to try and get to a person rather than a bot. I need to report an equipment fault which isn’t service specific
-
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
-
Peter ***** (@hoarp001) reported from Fleet, England@virginmedia my broadband is running at 10mbps (supposed to be 200). The app has done a "scan" and it says there is a network error and check back in 24 hours. Problem is, it's still slow three days later and there appears to be no more help on offer. Now what?
-
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.
-
☁️ 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
-
Jim Moore (@HamiltonNashHR) reported from Winnersh, EnglandSo @virginmedia is down again, and their 4G backup dongle has failed to take over AGAIN. In fact, it has never once failed over to 4G in any of the outages we’ve ever had. Why am I paying for this? 😡
-
A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England@virginmedia You keep cutting me off when I call ! / just email the complaint number to a member of your UK team and ask them to call me, really not that hard
-
Ems (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England@virginmedia We just purchased a film from the media store and it won’t play - just is stuck at 0 minutes 😡 we’ve restarted our box but always have problems like this with catch up especially… not ideal when we’ve paid money to rent a film! Can you help at all?
-
Callum Penny (@callum_penny) reported from Fleet, England@virginmedia no WiFi for the past 4 hours now… have ran tests to solve issues. Says service is fine in area again now but still nothing? Gu52 area code
-
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?
-
DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia Upgraded to volt500 from 350 and speed haven’t changed now 3 weeks despite your engineer changed the hub him self still same shame I been loyal customer for the last 13 years
-
Cameron🏴 (@CRJG_) reported from Bracknell, EnglandHuge congrats to @virginmedia for having a web chat service that is so bad that I joined the chat to upgrade my broadband, but after waiting for an eternity for replies I’m pretty much ready to just close my account
-
Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, EnglandWe have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom
-
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 🙏🏻
-
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!
-
CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England@virginmedia Sadly I am not, as I have never any compensation for the lost of my connection, I lost Wi-Fi for about hour yesterday but as normal virgin media are not up holding its guarantee. I an@self-employed and the one thing I rely on is my internet connection.
-
Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, EnglandAnother day of pathetic experience on @virginmedia broadband service. No broadband service in RG6 area. Regretting my decision to switch. @Ofcom @DowndetectorUK

-
Mike (@mikegormley2003) reported@virginmedia WIFI been down for days, engineer comes yesterday, says he can’t fix it, says he’ll pass it on and leaves. No proof he’s been or any contact about what’s next. Shocking. DD5 1EJ.
-
Marc (@marcleigh) reported@o2 @virginmedia your new sign in method is ridiculous this is 2026 get proper security not this stupid email link to verify
-
Shaun (@shauny67) reported@virginmedia @paulpresenteruk Never use ring door bell over WiFi why cos only works on 2.4ghz & Virgin like all providers combine 2.4 & 5ghz together would need to split them & set a static IP address for the ring door bell on 2.4ghz. best option is ethernet to a POE switch for data & power
-
Gibbodive (@gibbodive) reported@entrustTMF @virginmedia BT are woeful too. Over 20 years of misery at 2 different premises. Starlink now - exceptional in every way except for one 3hr occasion with a world wide outage. AMZN also getting into satellite broadband soon. US extreme tech beating UK cables buried in the ground !
-
rhonda yates (@rhotes) reportedTired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_World_IPTV21 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix
-
Graham Lennie (@Lennie_troon) reported@virginmedia Its all good. Got customer service yesterday and new hub connected and working 🫡
-
hennii (@NathanH17475101) reported@virginmedia My WiFi has been down for over 2 hours. The box is flashing red. Apparently no outage in my area. I have tried all recommend things
-
karen (@karenwigg1) reported@virginmedia Yes, but point is, this will be the 3rd time at huge inconvenience to me. I've had to cancel arrangements yet again and tbh, the call centre is best to useless.
-
Kevin Blades (@kcblades) reported@virginmedia NE28 broadband appears down. I work from home. So any updates?
