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

  • 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.

  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia When your expensive fibre broadband crashes in the middle of an online meeting with an MP this is bloody frustrating and unacceptable. Your service is often unreliable in the middle of the day. Can it be fixed or do I need another provider as backup?

  • DawnFabbricatti Dawn Fabbricatti🇿🇦🇮🇹 (@DawnFabbricatti) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia You LITERALLY cannot be serious right now? Is this how you believe my issue will be solved? And yes, in the last 19 days I have rebooted twice.

  • KathyMck1962 Kathy mckenry (@KathyMck1962) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia can you advise how much longer our internet will be down in the Tilehurst Reading area had no internet since 8pm yesterday? ?

  • 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.

  • vikingmarta89 Marta (@vikingmarta89) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia why since Monday is so bad signal in Reading West ? I’m not able to work !

  • gareth5274 gareth moore (@gareth5274) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia any chance of any help, been phoning since Friday and still getting nowhere. Ta.

  • 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

    @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.

  • 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

    @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?

  • 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 🙁

  • 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*

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • TheonlyJonesy Martyn Jones (@TheonlyJonesy) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia don’t worry about supplying a service that I can use to work from home, I’d much rather leave the house in a pandemic to access stable broadband...!!!

  • 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..

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

    Omg @virginmedia the worse service you could possible get 😡

    @virginmedia Tried calling this number multiple times and never get put through to a person. How can I actually speak to someone??

  • chari_zmatic chari 🏳️‍🌈 (@chari_zmatic) reported

    @virginmedia It came back eventually but I did check and no area issues came up, it cut out 2 times last night with no word

  • KayleighHartig1 Kayleigh Hartigan (@KayleighHartig1) reported

    @virginmedia why sell me over the phone the same package with a discount but it’s actually a lie and now you want me to pay extra for my services I should already have? Call centre is a complete joke! Rude staff who will not let me speak to anyone else

  • humandrizzle Human Drizzle (@humandrizzle) reported

    @virginmedia There are some people that have had the same issue, but there isn't any suggestion on how to fix it. It's either an issue with the router, or the broadband coming into the house via your cabling. Please can you send a new router and/or an engineer to sort the problem? Thanks.

  • nickjlong NJL (@nickjlong) reported

    @virginmedia Some have when they have time, all that have have been told they have issues in their area, given the widespread I am assuming your having a major issue right? In line with some upgrades perhaps?

  • JamesMcL86 James McLaughlin (@JamesMcL86) reported

    @virginmedia I want I refund as you haven’t provided the service I am paying for

  • sdewar12 Steven Dewar (@sdewar12) reported

    @virginmedia 2. At no point during the sale of your product is the customer made aware of this. I was made aware if i wanted to leave in contract there would be a charge however as stated i dont want to leave your lack of service is the problem.

  • FreemanOfYork Bruce Whitehouse (@FreemanOfYork) reported

    @virginmedia Your internet might be fast, but your customer service is slow. #bemorelikesky

  • Hariboee Harrison (@Hariboee) reported

    @virginmedia would it be possible for me to temporarily upgrade my broadband plan to higher speeds for work and then drop back down to my original plan when I’m finished?

  • DPGriffiths David Griffiths (@DPGriffiths) reported

    @virginmedia broadband in St Paul's area of Bristol was down for several hours this morning, came back for a couple of hours, and is now down again. Any idea when this will be fixed, please? I'm unable to work without an internet connection.
