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

  • dan_brooke Dan Brooke (@dan_brooke) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia had reached a new level of incompetence in terms of customer ‘service’. 2 months since signed up and still not installed with multiple last minute ***** ups... 🙄

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia My WIFI is unbearable and affects my day of online meetings. I’ve done the usual troubleshooting and have your app too. Calling your support is useless and I can’t get through to a human. What do I need to do to resolve my issues? Message your CEO?

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

    Hi @virginmedia can you please check service RG31 as all services are down, the online check confirms the status is down but only option is book an engineer for Tuesday, does that mean I can expect no TV or Internet until then?

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia No I’ve heard nothing back till now I’m afraid and still get issues. Can you help?

  • fleetsaints Steve Jones (@fleetsaints) reported from Fleet, England

    Changed from sky broadband to @virginmedia seriously didn’t think it could be worse. How wrong I was. Utterly shocking broadband. Lost count of the number of times on the last 48 hours we’ve lost service.

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Please can you help me to terminate my contract and service with you since it’s unbearable and unprofessional when I’m having work meetings to constantly get disconnected? It’s impossible to speak to a Virgin support human too so I’m left with no choice. Please help me on this.

  • 5aman1_m Munindra Samani (@5aman1_m) reported from Wokingham, England

    Yet again issues with virgin broadband. On the phone for over 25 mins - ridiculous #virginmedia #connectivity

  • MaxwellPerris Maxwell Perris (@MaxwellPerris) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia That you don't have enough staff to meet customer demand, apparently you don't have a complaints team and a £20 credit should solve all our problems. We never had this issue when we were with @SkyBroadband

  • jayp171 jayesh Patel (@jayp171) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia is there a problem with WiFi in the Maidenhead area?

  • AmyJ1996 amy james. (@AmyJ1996) reported from Farnborough, England

  • HaiderAlRekabi Haider Al-Rekabi (@HaiderAlRekabi) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia and any chance someone replying to my message via app? I waiting for 50 minutes now. I have broadband down since 18:00 RG2.

  • timmorgan Tim Morgan (@timmorgan) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia what's the best department to get My Virgin Media support? I am a customer and it won't let me register an account using my email address although my bill is sent to the same email.

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

    @virginmedia Yes I have explained all this before. Is there any point? My recent issue was with the pathetic final letter, now combined with the fact that your system is so poor you know nothing about this. Totally poor customer experience.

  • jonathansnorman Jonathan Norman (@jonathansnorman) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I had an important online meeting at 7.30 this morning, no internet. Same problem last Thursday. Been and NTL & Virgin customer since forever but it feels like it is time to change

  • halpo Pat Halpin (@halpo) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia My issue is my account has been cancelled without 30 days notice as agreed and you agreed that my account would run until the day before the new account was switched on #sortitout

  • jayp171 jayesh Patel (@jayp171) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia is there a problem in the Maidenhead area?

  • JulianHull Julian Hull (@JulianHull) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia what’s happened to our internet?? I’m in GU14 trying to work from home. The last 2 weeks we’ve either had no internet or very very slow. Ran speed checks, used to be over 100, now it’s mostly around 6-15 and we are paying for 100

  • JurassicGarden Char (@JurassicGarden) reported from Didcot, England

    The worst part of Lockdown wasn't the loneliness, the boredom or the agitation. It was seeing ******* Birdseye, McCain's and Virgin Media shoving happy family lockdown vibes down your throat to advertise themselves.

  • fleetsaints Steve Jones (@fleetsaints) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia Yes. Turned it off. Unplugged everything & put it all back in and still we get intermittent issues.

  • AV_Carys Carys Green (@AV_Carys) reported from Reading, England

    Feeling a tad disgruntled with @virginmedia I had to go into office today even though got tonsillitis as no broadband at home 😤 been two days now and trying to get hold of virginmedia impossible! Limited TV service I can live with but need broadband to work!

  • BridgeShahin Bridget (@BridgeShahin) reported

    @virginmedia Done that & registered loss of Service - this happened yesterday too & the other week - @virginmedia it is really unreliable & causing me a problem - most of my neighbours seem to be cancelling your service & replacing with three 5GB router - should I do the same?

  • bittertwisted1 darren miller (@bittertwisted1) reported

    @virginmedia after being on hold for just short of a year I finally got through regarding archived emails to be told after a lengthy conversation it would be rectified within 3 days, 3 weeks later still nothing and yet again hours on hold, please help

  • alan38545757 Alan (@alan38545757) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I followed the instructions - change on 31st - plugged in adapter supplied to back of Hub - plugged phone line from adaptor to phone. Very disappointed, been a Virgin customer for nearly 15 years. Had the full package practically all the time. Have Talk anytime

  • WithingtonTony Tony Withington (@WithingtonTony) reported

    @virginmedia are you aware of the issue with the YouTube app not working via your TiVo box? Hasn’t rectified itself after rebooting our hub. No issues with internet or any other apps. Info appreciated.

  • MeBethanyAndrew Bethany Andrew (she/her) (@MeBethanyAndrew) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, I downloaded the app and ran a test in my office during a time when I was having issues staying connected and yet it still says Wi-Fi speed is good. Is there certain tests I can run?

  • djmlawson Debbie Lawson (@djmlawson) reported

    @virginmedia We have tried but the service is so difficult to negotiate. There seems to be a widespread problem which I don’t think is being recognised

  • roibeard67 Roibeard (@roibeard67) reported

    @virginmedia I told him I’m 72 and not very technical savvy,I was led through a process then at the end was told to wait about 15 minutes then put into my password RESET 123,but it hasn’t worked and I’m still in limbo,I’m not impressed with the help I’m getting, having to wait 5days now 48hrs

  • EvilBobv1 Evil Bob (@EvilBobv1) reported

    @virginmedia Can you actually speak to me to provide a resolution to something please? Close to cancelling within my 14 day period. No one in tech support wants to listen to what I am asking. Engineer booked for Monday not really any good.

  • Grimstraw Danny Grimshaw (@Grimstraw) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp It’s just a complete waste of time attempting to explain or get any form of help on the phone so no bother forget about it

  • alan38545757 Alan (@alan38545757) reported

    @virginmedia No answer as expected. I want to now terminate my contract with no fee based on happily having a service as per my contract and now not having the service due to you forcing a change on me with no answer to resolve other than you want me to apparently buy new equipment
