Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Reading and nearby locations:
-
Andrew Burdett (@andburd) reported from Maidenhead, EnglandHi @virginmedia, I’ve spent more than an hour on the phone to your advisors this morning and am getting nowhere. I have therefore now decided I would like to cancel my contract (I am within cooling-off period). Would I still be considered a ‘new’ customer if I find a new deal?
-
Julian Hull (@JulianHull) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia having problems with internet in GU14. Will this be resolved soon
-
Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently
-
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.
-
Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, EnglandHey @virginmedia I forgot how awful you were when it came to anything other than collecting my direct debit. Apparently you don’t have a complaints dept, genius, and after 4 calls to you today totally around three hours, you cut two of them off during the musical interlude!
-
Dave Crocker (@davedec60) reported from Reading, EnglandSo @virginmedia once more we have an outage, how many times now in the last 3 months? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Currently looking at switching supplier
-
Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia It’s more about how this can’t be dealt with online and spending a busy day trying to get to talk with someone who actually can help. #Disgraceful #expectedthis
-
Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England@GiganetUK @virginmedia 13:25. Down again…
-
DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia
-
Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, EnglandIf anyone is interested in how much @virginmedia are overcharging for their dreadful service, I’ve just been offered a price match on cancellation to move to a different supplier. £27.50/month for a service for which they originally increased price to £105/month
-
Alex Bennell (@ABennell4709) reported from Twyford, England@virginmedia broadband issues in RG10? Please could you look into ASAP? I have no connectivity at all. Thanks
-
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?
-
Doughnut Doney (@DoughnutDoney) reported from Benson, England@virginmedia plz stop calling me asking if I want an upgrade. Been a loyal customer for over 15 yrs and its getting annoying now. Yes my phone is due for an upgrade but only when I want it. So plz when you say Im on the 'has been contacted list' stick with that 😞
-
Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Sorry but no. If you can't monitor your own service provision why should I ?
-
faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia I’m not sure if they do. Happy to do another web chat to cancel.
-
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.
-
Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia Thanks I’m currently doing this now. So on the ‘phone once again for around an hour and been passed over and back and STILL no outcome a d still holding. Just waiting for the line to go dead as previous. When does a customer give up and just leave this shower for good?!?!?! 🤬🤬
-
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?
-
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!!!

Marta (@vikingmarta89) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia why since Monday is so bad signal in Reading West ? I’m not able to work !

-
John James (@_kimosabe_) reported@virginmedia absolutely disgusting Customer Service I’ve been told for 3weeks HBO max is free with TNTspots only to just been told it’s not now unbelievable service I have it in writing and verbally been told it’s free
-
Cameron Conner (@RadioCammy) reported@virginmedia hi I’d like to lodge a complaint about your shocking customer service how do I do this ?
-
Flip Flop (@flop_flip60295) reported@virginmedia getting 100mb a second on your gigabyte package and was told there was issues. Was escalated to the complaints team who advised nothing is wrong! Shocking customer service even when it was acknowledged its nowhere near what im paying for
-
hc (@ChaudhryHaroon) reported@virginmedia your agents are rude calling me to try and retain me as a customer but speaking to me in a patronising manner!
-
Keith Gill (@KeithGill28) reported@virginmedia @keithapearson It’s not just Keith’s that feel this way it’s the whole country your customer service is up there with Starmer’s job vetting.
-
simon parkinson (@parky1021) reportedOnce again @virginmedia goes down Absolutely fed up of this now Shocking service Never used to be like this
-
Oldbloke (@Oldbloke74) reported@entrustTMF @virginmedia You cold always telephone their useful call centre 🤡 Virgin Media are such a lousy company to deal with - trouble is the competitors are also terrible. 😤
-
Tigol (@bigoltiddies) reported@JU51LNS @TalkTalk It was never YOUR email, it belonged to TalkTalk and they simply rented it to you as a perk of being subscribed to their service. You've cancelled or are cancelling so they're no longer giving you a free email and instead asking you to pay. BT does/did the same. As did/does Sky. Virginmedia just straight delete the email address after 90 days. You're making a deal out of nothing. Pay the fiver a month and use the time to port out valuable emails by forwarding them to your other email then when you're confident you've got it all transferred, cancel the payment.

Susan Chew (@SusanChew5) reported@virginmedia It's constant disruption, I did all that , postcode, house number, nothing wrong in the area, spoke to Bot, said there was an outage in my area, who's right?
