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

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @ralphyallen @virginmedia Let’s see how long it takes @virginmedia to respond or put something out proactively. I’m trying to call the 0345 customer service number as well as 150 but having no joy getting through.

  • jgoodliffe_ James Goodliffe (@jgoodliffe_) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia whys my internet so terrible in SL6? I pay for 350 and I’m getting 8..

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

    @GuseensLV @virginmedia Ah man, I’m with ya. 350MB here was fab until 16 days ago. Been “OK” today, had a relatively stable connection but it never crept over 10MB and that was if I was lucky *sigh*

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia hey there - lost all connectivity at home suddenly this morning and can’t get through to any of your helpline numbers. Is there problem in GU15 3HY area. Can’t understand why 150 and external numbers are either not connecting or just showing as constantly unavailable

  • EmsAlice Ems ☾ (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia We managed to get through to your team on the phone yesterday and they said they will call us back. It started working again yesterday evening but it’s an on and off problem we have had for weeks so needs looking into properly which I hope will happen soon.

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

    @virginmedia Called yesterday PM: engineer tested the line, said there were network issues despite status page saying to the contrary. Was told you were fixing the issue but today is day 15 and no BB since ~15:30 yesterday. I have to go to the office, no choice. Poor/no BB = risk my health 🙁

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Still no landline service to home and neighbour similarly. It’s been close on 24hrs - pretty irritated that there is no information coming proactively from your team to be honest but appreciate the social team’s responsiveness to my contact

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

    @virginmedia Hi AR, I was given no time at all, only that there were ongoing issues the last two weeks then he said 7-10 days. He said you were working on it, it would be fixed but no timescale. 15 days of unreliable BB is awful. Have had 100% outages of up to 36 hours.

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    Omg @virginmedia the worse service you could possible get 😡

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

    Dear diary, day 16 of poor/zero broadband. I called @VirginMedia, joined a queue, cooked, served & ate dinner, started watching The Simpsons then after 48 minutes of Jake Bugg and some other repetitive on-hold phone entertainment, they cut me off!

  • wmatthew Will Matthews (@wmatthew) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia is there a bandwidth issue in the network? I’m in Fleet, Hampshire #patchy #slow

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

    @SinghT2j @virginmedia It’s been down a good 3 days in the last 14 here. Otherwise it’s either slow or randomly intermittent. They really need to sort their network out, it was never this bad until 2 weeks ago.

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia I have to wait until Monday for an engineer to come and fix whatever the problem is but never ever had a good connection and made many complains

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

    @Binky_2301 @virginmedia The service was pretty reliable until now 19 days ago. Their status tool says no issues yet an engineer told me there were. And that they were fixing it. Been watching Twitter and it’s been an issue with folks all over the country.

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

    @sniveldirk @virginmedia Also it’s not reliable broadband. I’m suffering day 15 of anything but the 350MB connection I paid for. Right now it’s dead again. The lack of service forced me to have to work from an office today (again!) How unsafe is that?

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for getting the internet sorted but any reason why there is still no phone service or any information to explain?

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Have to wait until Monday until an engineer can come out to fix whatever the problem is, I have never ever had a good connection, made many complaints but this is the worse ever. Intermittence connections causing me to need another @SlimmingWorld consultant to cover my groups 💔

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

    Aargh. @VirginMedia broadband is down again, 20 mins here in GU14. That’s 13 days of poor service. I’m trying to WFH and daughter’s trying to do her homework online. This is infuriating.

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Your web site is not very helpful really - apparently the fault will be rectified by 08.40 this morning. Understand technical problems arise but it’s surely much better to provide proactive updates rather than to react in receipt of complaints?

  • EmsAlice Ems ☾ (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia It’s now been more than 48 hours and once again our catch up services and virgin media store is down and unavailable ... this time with no known local issue. What am I meant to do?

  • MowlamLeeann Leeann Mowlam (@MowlamLeeann) reported

    @virginmedia Ov been on and done the Web messaging service. And say they fixed it and will be deducted from next bill... however got email showing next bill without it being deducted or at correct price!

  • bpw2509 Benn Westwood (@bpw2509) reported

    @virginmedia is there a problem with your broadband in Halifax this afternoon? We have no internet, tried resetting modem but no connection.

  • Skeletorus_G Skeletorus Gaming (@Skeletorus_G) reported

    @virginmedia Wow...@virginmedia I literally just said your customer service team were robots...and you come back with the same response. I am also on the phone to virgin. I understand there's an exit fee but moving house is expensive in itself without having to worry about company charges!

  • dinozzo7600 immy7600 (@dinozzo7600) reported

    @virginmedia I need help urgently. My wifi keeps disconnecting at 53min past the hour on all wifi devices. Have had a technician come round and do something but it hasn’t made any difference. It’s so annoying that at 53min past the hour it all goes down

  • paultwyman Paul Twyman (@paultwyman) reported

    @virginmedia any idea when you will be able to sort your service out and get things working to an acceptable level please? No internet for most of yesterday off and on every few minutes today and temperamental for last few months. Is this normal now?

  • gkbenj Ben 💙 (@gkbenj) reported

    @virginmedia No quite the opposite. I was told once again that a manager was treating my complaint with high priority and would call me back within 2 hours. That was 4 hours ago. Frankly I've got better things to do than keep calling back. At this point cancelling my DD is the only approach..

  • KayleighBlaker Kayleigh Blaker (@KayleighBlaker) reported

    @virginmedia also I upgraded stupidly enough and it says £75 a month. Your colleague told me £53 a month? 1. Your service barely works at my property and 2. You lied. Can I leave please?! I regret leaving @NOW 😭

  • forakin Akin Akíntáyọ̀ 🏳️‍🌈 #European (@forakin) reported from Manchester, England

    I've had an unstable to non-working @virginmedia broadband connection in Manchester for about 18 hours. Whilst they are aware of the issue and trying to resolve it, it is untenable that in the era of working from home, a major infrastructure requirement will be down for 24 hours.

  • trebor8422 r (@trebor8422) reported

    @virginmedia its saying theres no issue in my area but my download and upload speeds are terrible atm

  • EParaskov Emanuil Paraskov (@EParaskov) reported

    @virginmedia Yes many times I just wait for 16 of April to have installation but if no one show I will cancel the contract
