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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • debi_feltimo Debi Brown (@debi_feltimo) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Transfer, he moved today so is really panicking that he cannot contact anyone. I can’t even check if the service will be available in his new home

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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....

  • 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..

  • 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!

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Not great, it never is really.

  • 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.

  • debi_feltimo Debi Brown (@debi_feltimo) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Cannot access my account online, forgotten my security question so cannot call, it’s my elderly dads account I set up for him. He moved today,none of your staff will help me as I don’t have the answer. He has now moved, has no contact to outside world, please help!

  • claycolin215 Colin Clayton (@claycolin215) reported

    @virginmedia is it really good customer service to have me on hold for 1.30 hrs???

  • krissj72 Kriss Glee (@krissj72) reported

    @virginmedia @riteshsonawala Why run a world speed test when all devices are wireless, im having trouble too , supposed to be getting 200mbps and this is what I'm getting!! If someone is complaining it's because their Internet is slow and not what they're paying for so doing a wired test isn't gonna help!

  • NeilPShawcross Lord Neil P Shawcross (@NeilPShawcross) reported

    @virginmedia That app won't connect to my service. Oh the irony!

  • alexisneil1 Alexis Neil (@alexisneil1) reported

    @virginmedia how can you disconnect traditional land lines for customers who do not believe in Wi-Fi and expect an 89 year old lady to just accept your poor service! Are only option is to move to BT can we keep the number?

  • st3bc1 SteveB (@st3bc1) reported

    @virginmedia Repeatedly being told all is ready 48hrs before, after I take the time to call and check, then getting a text 24hrs out cancelling the appt points to very problematic customer information processes at the least. Not to mention waiting over a year.

  • barryfinnie1715 Barry Finnie (@barryfinnie1715) reported

    @virginmedia please tell me how to get through to a UK call centre so I can cancel my broadband and o2 sim? It’s shocking the amount of times I’ve tried to call and nobody is able to cancel and get put through to different departments, horrendous service!!

  • Sazziwazzi72 Sarah (@Sazziwazzi72) reported

    @virginmedia no home phone line BN15 area status check saying no issue

  • naturalsystah Careless Wispa (@naturalsystah) reported

    Well @virginmedia said my broadband and TV would be working later tonight...it was up and running again about 2 hours ago, well ahead of time. Can't complain considering the bad weather

  • WolfeAlexander Alexander Wolfe (@WolfeAlexander) reported

    I wish I’d recorded the phone calls I’ve had with @virginmedia because it would be an incredible @BBCPanorama or @C4Dispatches Over two weeks, 6-7 phone calls a day lasting 40+ mins, and still no service. Something is seriously wrong in this company.

  • Deano44118023 Deano (@Deano44118023) reported

    @virginmedia No landline - no dial tone. Service status says everything is OK! So how long before you acknowledge a problem, couple of years ago it was 16 days and an ombudsmen case to boot.
