@virginmedia You do realise that the majority of messages sent to you are people complaining that your Wi-Fi is very poor? So perhaps concentrate on that for existing clients rather than pushing new sales? Poor router is the issue. #slowerfaraway

Hi @virginmedia I have to wait 72 hours to speak to a manager about an issue. This is after 5 hours on the phone to you and only a manager can authorise what I need. Shocking considering the amount of money we pay you. We have no working broadband for a 2 key worker house

@virginmedia @mouthwaite Hi John; just jumping in on this. You really need to start advising customers properlyit doesn’t matter how many technicians visit it won’t solve the problem of the poor standard router and your default settings.

@VisctFishpond @virginmedia I had similar problems to you; got the runaround from Virgin. Lots of research done and the issue is almost certainly the router. You can buy a third-party router and turn the virgin router into a modem. Solved all my problems. Worth a try.

@virginmedia what do I have to do to actually be able to communicate with you? Been trying since the beginning of January to no avail - calls unanswered, messages and emails ignored. If I cancel my direct debit today maybe you’ll soon respond 😡

@virginmedia Hi, so atleast once a week my internet stops working... I’ve done the usual reboot etc. Last time I rang up because I’ve had enough of it, especially with my package going form £28 to £43. When I rang the technician done some kind of reboot to help stop this problem.

@StMirrenDaft @virginmedia @mat_fraser One of the key issues is their router. It’s rubbish and has programming which means main signal isn’t direct for WiFi. I had this problem; buy another router and turn Virgin one into modem. It solved my problem.

@virginmedia 2nd day on the trot someone claiming to be from your ‘tech support’ dept. have called our landline no. claiming there’s a problem with our broadband; there’s not, it’s clearly a scam. I’ve a number that they called from to share with you if you like? Can I DM this??

@AdamDea29742908 @virginmedia But buying one between £50 and £200 will probably suit most and if it turns out it doesn’t solve your problems it hasn’t broken the bank. I went for an Asus one at about £120. Netgear is another strong brand. I had poor WiFi for years and it was a massive improvement. 2/2

@Lindzell_LFC @virginmedia It’s their router. All the calls in the world won’t change the problem. You can buy a new router abs connect it to the Virgin one. Worked for me.

@DridgeJimmy @OffMyNoodles @virginmedia They have a text/WhatsApp chat 07533051809 which I use to contact them. Often quicker than the phone option. Doesn't excuse their shoddy customer service though.

@virginmedia I just don't want @virginmedia to claim that I didn't cancel in time. I have been trying to contact you to cancel for 2 days now. Although an apology is very much appreciated, I need to give a month's notice before leaving Virgin. Please could you suggest an alternative way.

@virginmedia Still, good job you hiked your package prices despite the savings we were promised after the O2 hook-up. Truly disgusting service.
