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

  • roballan07 Rob Allan (@roballan07) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia It was a terrible experience. 3 different people over a period of 1 hour 20 minutes. I had to explain the situation 3 times. You need to review your Customer Services approach as today it appears broken.

  • Katyebh Katy Hamilton (@Katyebh) reported from Reading, England

    Getting a bit fed up of @virginmedia marketing calls that just hang up when I indicate I’m not interested - not even giving me the chance to opt out - #GDPR rule breaking....

  • mathers1981 Stephen Marshall (@mathers1981) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia absolute joke of a service. Try and leave them as they are having your pants down each month and it’s like trying to escape Alcatraz. Awful firm

  • melvinabrose millie p RN RHV QN (@melvinabrose) reported from High Wycombe, England

    Virgin media just rubbish. Just so disappointed in a service that for the past 2 months has been rubbish. Worked all over the house and even in the garden for all the time we have been customers but now only working on one side of the house and not upstairs.

  • Katyebh Katy Hamilton (@Katyebh) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I made a GDPR complaint to you at the time of writing that tweet it was acknowledged, my preferences were updated (apparently) and yet I STILL get calls. Not a word of an apology in that letter though. Didn’t think anything would tempt me back to Sky..

  • chriswoods84 Woodsy (@chriswoods84) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I've done all that. It's been intermittent all day. I've reset. I've turned on and off. I've sat on hold. It's a ridiculous service

  • RJHOTCHEF Ryan Wilson (@RJHOTCHEF) reported from Fleet, England

    @AlyInASpin @virginmedia Weird we are having the same problem #lag , @virginmedia whats the problem please. Very annoying now

  • Katyebh Katy Hamilton (@Katyebh) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Exactly - hands washed of the issue. I don’t need an update, you’ve told me it’s done. It isn’t.

  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia trying to watch a film on Netflix only for my tv to keep flashing up wired LAN cable is disconnected then wired network is connected what is going on I pay for virgin and Netflix and getting fed up

  • basicbloke2012 Basic Bloke (@basicbloke2012) reported from Yateley, England

    @virginmedia I did this last week and again twice this week All says there is an issue and I need to talk to someone

  • woodsa164 Alex George (@woodsa164) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Not great, it never is really.

  • chriswoods84 Woodsy (@chriswoods84) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia only had internet installed last week. For about the 15th time it's dropped out. Fed up of sitting on phone on hold. Service update page says all ok. Clearly isn't

  • daddysdahmer Soph (@daddysdahmer) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia internet keeps dropping out in RG30 and then completely went. No issues showing on your site. Tried restarting router but still no internet!!!

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Sorry to say that I contacted your online chat, but they offered no significant update other than 9th Sept for a fix and no offer of compensation as I am not experiencing a total loss of service. Not happy at all.

  • LisaMarieHeenan Lisa-Marie Cuthbertson (@LisaMarieHeenan) reported from Reading, England

    The @virginmedia amazing service continues, pay £13.99 for a film that you cannot watch due to technical error 🙄 look online, seems common & responses unhelpful, hurry up @SkyUK & get faster broadband here so I can switch!

  • KernowPrincess Lynn Gower (@KernowPrincess) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia internet appears to be up and down for RG30 2QT

  • InflightJames James (@InflightJames) reported from Wokingham, England

    Absolute SHIT customer service from @virginmedia today. Due have an iPhone delivered yet “for some reason” it was cancelled. Thanks for that.

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    Intermittent network service from @virginmedia again, seems I need to use my reliable personal hotspot from @VodafoneUK - at least I have a fallback plan.

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    Broadband service improved, good speed and customer service follow-up. Thank you @virginmedia much improved service.

  • markblunden MarkBlunden (@markblunden) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia you’re broadband has gone from great to very unreliable. It seems to drop out regularly now. Paying a lot for your service sort it out!!

    @downdetector virgin media down Liverpool 8 area

  • simonjheyes Simon Heyes (@simonjheyes) reported

    @virginmedia I would rather you explain the root cause of the repetitive loss of service and what is being done to stop it happening in future

  • WhyNotts_ 🔥🌌💥🎆 (@WhyNotts_) reported

    @virginmedia Among ongoing issues with 360(?) box is inability to record parts of progs, as I had via previous (less advanced🤔) box for example, I would record 10 min parts of breakfast shows to quickly see local news, travel, etc now I have to sift through whole 3hr progs for those bits 😥

  • LordLeathley LordOfLeath (@LordLeathley) reported

    Usual service from virgin media #virginmedia , never changes

  • AmandaGalore Allen (@AmandaGalore) reported

    @virginmedia @TheBHF i dont get it, do they use defibrillators to install fibre to home gigabit internet? or are they for the bill increases? VM WTF!

  • MartinBrunt Martin Brunt (@MartinBrunt) reported

    @virginmedia Expected intermittent service from 15th Nov to 22nd November. This will be the fourth outage now. However because it’s intermittent and not a complete loss of service there is no compensation. 20yrs with virgin and we are now looking for a new supplier. CS don’t want to know.

  • simonjheyes Simon Heyes (@simonjheyes) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia Why don’t you call them and let me know what you find out? Perhaps you can also check if there would be any penalty if I cancel my contract with you?

  • majortennis1 Major Tennis (@majortennis1) reported
