Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Reading, England

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @dinger3805 @virginmedia It's become a bit of a joke which is not funny anymore as I have lost 2 days pay now because of this given the price we pay. Appualing service at the moment.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia No as I am about to drive to work when I should be working from home as I do each Friday and Monday except poor service is preventing me doing do. I will make a formal complaint tonight as this is the second time this week.

  • 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.

    @virginmedia @virginhelp I was assured that I was being refunded 2 months Netflix on this months bill, I'm utterly disgusted this is the 4th time I've rung over the same problem

  • samduz Sam (@samduz) reported

    @WisdomWarrior7 @virginmedia Agree. Also been terrible for weeks

  • leigherin88 Leigh (@leigherin88) reported

    @virginmedia You haven’t contacted me within 28 days! You’ve broken your own promise!

    @virginmedia is there a problem in M29 my broadband has been awful all day and now my TiVo box keeps going off while we’re trying to watch the match - not happy 😡

  • jhavfc Jess (@jhavfc) reported

    @byellielouise @JimmyBob1981 @virginmedia I had awful customer service too.

  • S9my_B Miss B (@S9my_B) reported

    @jemmskii @virginmedia My father had the same issue... they soon got in touch when he cancelled his DD. Lol

  • LadyCupcake1990 Cuppeth Of Cake 🧁 🤘 (@LadyCupcake1990) reported

    @LoazB @virginmedia again?! this company is literally the worst 😩

  • theroddyscott Roddy Scott (@theroddyscott) reported from Kirkintilloch, Scotland

    @virginmedia terrible customer service while on the phone to one of your technical staff tonight... put on hold as they don’t have an answer then cut off not once but twice... shambles 😡

  • GoonerGreggs Adam (@GoonerGreggs) reported

    @virginmedia Yes they are all connected. It looks like this is the same issue for lots of people on our estate, which would assume there is a local issue. But no-one or nothing can tell us what or when it will be fixed!

  • davidwatson07 david watson (@davidwatson07) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I have already spoken to them and apparently they can offer a new customer the ultimate oomph bundle for £79 but want more than £90 from me for the same !! Even though I’ve been a custom for years. Very poor service.
