    @virginmedia There is no problem in my area. My problem is specific to my account.

  • AndyBarr79 Andy Barr 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@AndyBarr79) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I can't sign in as I no longer hold an account, your CS don't care and obviously fobbing me off and not raising complaints as requested, I will just pursue via FCA and/or trading standards.

  • gregemmerson_ Greg Emmerson (@gregemmerson_) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Completed the tests with the app, one room poor coverage

  • gonnella Pete (@gonnella) reported from Woodley, England

    @mattlintott @NetXL_dot_com Nice 👍🏻 got gig1 from @virginmedia but the upload is awful only 50mbit. Hope it gets increased to at least 100mbit soon.

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    Another day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk

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

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

  • ajthesheepdocto Michelle Wolfenden (@ajthesheepdocto) reported from Grove, England

    From @Snottlegroover I’ve had/having Virgin issues again. Anybody else in OX12 area?Since upgrading our box it’s been a complete nightmare. Definitely won’t be renewing contract this year. #VirginMedia #virginmediadown #virginmediainternetissues

  • nenevall derrick mulvana (@nenevall) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @OfficialRandL reading festival, the virgin media mobile network is on its knees with no internet connection across most of the site.. sort it out.

  • ajthesheepdocto Michelle Wolfenden (@ajthesheepdocto) reported from Grove, England

    @virginmedia upgrade to 360 has caused no end of issues - slow WiFi, slower TV, losing saved programmes, and customer services very unhelpful. When we suggested complaining they hung up. #virgin #nocustomerservice

  • ajthesheepdocto Michelle Wolfenden (@ajthesheepdocto) reported from Grove, England

    @virginmedia Thank you - when I run the TV check it says there is an issue. Guess we just need to sit it out. Sadly we appear to be the only ones in the area with an issue (have asked around)

  • barrowboy78 ⚒ JOHN TURNER ⚒ (@barrowboy78) reported from Reading, England

    Anybody having problems with @virginmedia in the Reading area ……..?

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia It's always the same response. No service impacting issues reported. However, the service is pretty bad. Wondering if @virginmedia network is capable of handling traffic or deliberately doing throttling. @Ofcom

  • mkn1ght Ultra Mugnus (@mkn1ght) reported from Reading, England

    @monstroso @virginmedia A problem we all have.

  • AndyBarr79 Andy Barr 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@AndyBarr79) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Hi see first tweet in chain, I have been waiting on CS whom I called and raised a call back complaint request with before I tweeted my frustration

  • Debbiejojessup Deborah Jessup (@Debbiejojessup) reported from Woodley, England

    Trying to cancel our Virgin Broadband what a nightmare. On hold for 90 mins still no one answers from the cancellation department. #virginmedia @virginmedia

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    Another day of pathetic experience on @virginmedia broadband service. No broadband service in RG6 area. Regretting my decision to switch. @Ofcom @DowndetectorUK

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    We have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom

  • ambreenfarooq15 A (@ambreenfarooq15) reported from Reading, England

    Virgin media is sooooooo ******* ****

  • MikeBiscoe1 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

  • DoughnutDoney 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 😞

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BeeseyBristol Jason Beese (@BeeseyBristol) reported

    @virginmedia We’ve now spent FIVE HOURS on the phone/text with your ‘Customer Services’ today. We were disconnected several times, it was shambolic. We now, finally have arranged for an engineer next week to look at our TV issue...so no Virgin TV box through this huge weekend of Sport. Thanks

  • entmasterclass ENT Masterclass (@entmasterclass) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I am simply looking for my broadband to work. After 56 mins on the phone today, I was told that as part of the complaint process, I will be contacted by a manager for an explanation. Still waiting... I do not wish to be fobbed off to a link to look for compensation.

  • chrisofscotland Chris 🎗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@chrisofscotland) reported

    @virginmedia Phoned the number, tells me there’s an outage in the area. Lost a half days working as a result of no internet

  • Ellie16745463 Ellie (@Ellie16745463) reported

    @virginmedia It just ends there is no error message or anything it just finishes like the programme has ended, it asks if i want to delete or keep the programme like normal. It's happened twice so far this year. Also things keep getting recorded that I have never put a recording on for😵

  • julie_bliss1 Julie Bliss (@julie_bliss1) reported

    @virginmedia if your guys hang up on me 1 more time today I will freak out. This is the 4th time. All I want is my internet fixed. I work from home so am loosing a day's pay.

  • OserkRS Oserk (@OserkRS) reported

    @virginmedia So it turns out this issue is not resolved. I was told to expect a call back within 24-48 hours and I have heard nothing. Back to square one - No access to the broadband I am paying for. Extremely disappointed and frustrated. 1/2

  • OserkRS Oserk (@OserkRS) reported

    @virginmedia The even more disappointing and frustrating thing is to cancel my broadband I have to pay another £240 even though it's now not my fault that I'm having to break contract. 2/2

  • chrisofscotland Chris 🎗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@chrisofscotland) reported

    @virginmedia Service page says everything is tickety boo. But been down for an hour now. Reset hub, nothing.

  • itsmedylanxx Dylan Jones (@itsmedylanxx) reported

    @virginmedia sort ye wifi out sick to death of the awful service and connection issues last week

  • dvdsmpsn David Simpson (@dvdsmpsn) reported

    The man from "@virginmedia" who rang *me* to "fix my internet" just asked my "why are you wasting our time?" Also, being told "go and f*k off you mf*er" seems a tad rude too.
