Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Reading and nearby locations:
-
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
-
Alex Turton (@woodyturts) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia hey, it’s been slow going on broadband in GU14 since Tuesday.
-
Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.
-
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
-
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!!!
-
Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England@Feesuff1 @virginmedia Having same issues on BTSport 3 HD and 4HD.
-
Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.
-
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
-
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.
-
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
-
Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia OK guys, could you ask your team behind the scenes to turn my BB signal up just a tad, you know, enough so it actually works? As your putting your prices up would be great to experience what I'm actually paying for now! Thanks
-
Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia Wired and yes. Seems to have stabilised for the time being. Hopefully no more issues
-
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.
-
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!
-
CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England@virginmedia No resolution has been offered by @virginmedia hence I have no cancelled my contract.
-
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
-
A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England@virginmedia Phone call received this afternoon from your service centre but not about the complaint / when I asked about it they cut me off / email received from Resolution Team this afternoon telling me to ring your service line and have not read the complaint / total joke C-180123113
-
faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia I’m not sure if they do. Happy to do another web chat to cancel.
-
Paul Austin (@BagshotTwit) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia I had my phone on me all day and didn’t have any missed call message. I have called numerous times and no progress. I understand you also can’t help me.
Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reportedThe one touch switch for broadband might sound like a good idea but here’s something they don’t mention. When you leave @virginmedia , the email address you’ve had for 30 years is deleted. So you have to spend hours and hours changing login details on everything. It’s so stupid.
-
Shaun (@shauny67) reported@QxPain_ @virginmedia Turn off router, turn off all devices connected via WiFi turn on router & bring up each device at a time & check WiFi & distance then will find which device is causing the issue. A router only has a certain distance will need a pod if drops out due to distance
-
Kev (@victor50) reported@virginmedia if Virgin paid me £5 for every time the wifi went down, I’d be a wealthy man. I am anyway, but not quite enough to sue under the trades description act for diabolical service. Absolutely awful. The new provider can’t get in our area quick enough.
-
Richard Bignell (@NothingLane) reported@trapdoor456 @virginmedia Nope, but much the same story. Dumped useless Virgin years ago. Now with @zeninternet. Once you start a contract, the price NEVER increases. They're a UK company, so absolutely no overseas call centres and the tech service has been first class.
-
Boxing and Realtalk (@SexyBoxing1) reported@ReturnofColin2 @virginmedia customer service
-
meeeee (@baldiecute5) reportedJust about had enough of this company and haven't even been connected yet ! Engineers turning up on wrong day or not at all ! Customer servicea shockingly hard to understand! And pretty useless , last chance tomorrow before I cancel transfer @virginmedia
-
Steve Hannant (@toffeeman112) reported@trapdoor456 @virginmedia I’ve been with Youfibre 3 years… Speeds and reliability are great…. However if you do hit a problem Customer Service is woeful and stressful. Fortunately the reliability means you don’t need to contact them very often !!!
-
ste (@stew187511) reported@virginmedia I need some help with my account, recently moved house and had new WiFi installed and your trying to charge me £103 just for WiFi? Not having it
-
DEAN SUPPORT (@Dean_Xyber1) reported@lukewarm14 @O2 @virginmedia I can help send me a DM
-
James Durrant (@je_durrant) reported@coveragechecker @virginmedia Was initially a local outage but turned into someone had unplugged my cable at the exchange and it needed replacing. Sh*t happens, I get it, but to leave someone who pays £1500 a year for a service without anything for a month is plain bad
