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

  • pmross 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!!!

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    We have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom

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

    @virginmedia Nope. There’s “nothing wrong” with the broadband according to the status page. Never is. It’s always the hub supposedly downloading updates. 10 weeks of this now, getting a bit bored of the lack of service TBH. This needs to be escalated.

  • HaiderAlRekabi Haider Al-Rekabi 🏴‍☠️ (@HaiderAlRekabi) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia There is no problem in my area. My problem is specific to my account.

  • callum_penny 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

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    Another day of pathetic experience on @virginmedia broadband service. No broadband service in RG6 area. Regretting my decision to switch. @Ofcom @DowndetectorUK

  • nenevall derrick mulvana (@nenevall) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @OfficialRandL reading festival, the virgin media mobile network is on its knees with no internet connection across most of the site.. sort it out.

  • hoarp001 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?

  • Pablocollier Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Patchy. And the weekends enquiry regarding possibly upgrading... Non existent service.

  • Pablocollier Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Sorry but no. If you can't monitor your own service provision why should I ?

  • EmsAlice 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?

  • CarolRothy 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

  • Goldy73 GoldyMcGoldface (@Goldy73) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia The fact you have even done it without telling anyone is a shocking customer service move,especially in this day and age where a lot of people are working from home. Absolutely disgusting service I don't care how long it will take, I need to know of you plan to take it down so

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    Another day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk

  • vserafino19 Vito Serafino (@vserafino19) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia @tandcbroking Either a lot of people are checking the service status on the website or that site also not working. Cheers

  • mcsherlocks Daniel Sherlock (@mcsherlocks) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Internet down at the moment in Woking also yesterday. Checked with my neighbours also down so is system wide

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia It's always the same response. No service impacting issues reported. However, the service is pretty bad. Wondering if @virginmedia network is capable of handling traffic or deliberately doing throttling. @Ofcom

  • ChavdogEvans Daniel Evans (@ChavdogEvans) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia my wifi seem to keep dropping out is there issues with it at the moment

  • andy_hav Andrew Havard (@andy_hav) reported

    @DUCKmagstoke @virginmedia Just left virgin. Took me 12 hours of a text conversation and I had to state 15 times that I wanted to cancel my contract! At one point they begged me to stay…unbelievable

  • VladaOfEngland Mr Nisam Robin #FT1P #YM1D (@VladaOfEngland) reported

    @virginmedia as you are probably aware your tv and broadband are DOWN. Even the telly says so but your web page thinks all is fine. It’s not.

  • austinthebruce F (@austinthebruce) reported

    @virginmedia you make it impossible for customers to cancel as no one can reach your retentions team. Do you actually read your tweets. They are all negative.

  • marketgem Market Gem 💎🤲🏼 (@marketgem) reported

    @Hendi213 @virginmedia Funny you say this @Hendi213 I signed up to a package for new customers and they simply cancelled it for me as an existing customer of 12 years via email. I’ve been paying premiums but have moved to Sky now and it’s much better & cheaper.

  • HayleyVeeB Hayley (@HayleyVeeB) reported

    @CommodoreLad @virginmedia That is @virginmedia with a 100 Mps connection. Piss take they are, and wont help at all.
