@virginmedia hi my speed has died to a crawl this morning in the SA13 2 area of Port Talbot. Have reset the Super Hub etc. Help needed please.

@virginmedia 200 down from what I can remember, I'm at work right now so I can't check but the speed isn't the issue. Also, I said "should" because based on his test, it's an above average connection, but in practice, it's wildly inconsistent in terms of ping, packet loss/timing.

@virginmedia so disappointed with your service. It’s been 9 months since we changed our package and still @virginmedia cannot get a simple Direct debit form processed correctly.

@virginmedia No, I've gone down this route before, just look in to your routing servers and or the bandwidth limit. Any time I do anything remotely intensive all packets start getting dropped. I'm on my knees.

You'd think when @virginmedia sent out a new router it'd be one that works better than the old one, apparently not though, this ones shite as well. 3 days in a row, three seemingly random bouts of just not working

@virginmedia Again, I appreciate what you're saying, but similarly I've had an engineer to my house and he said that within the parameters of his test, that my connection should be better than average. This is an issue with how my connection is being routed.

@virginmedia Thanks for the reply, the room where my hub is has great WiFi, my study has my laptop and printer, however WiFi is poor. I’d like to put some kinda booster in there, I did a test and looked into ordering one from you but was dismayed to being told it will cost £3 per mth plus del

@virginmedia My wife rang (as account in her name) eventually got through, and an engineer is expected in next few hours as I connection at all now!!Poor/no mobile signal at home as booster box is connected to your router, so even more inconvenience right now.

@addiej27 @virginmedia Nope they said it would be 24-48 hours. Longer than it took to cancel my account

@virginmedia Our set up day was this week then you told us our street doesn’t have virgin so it would be delayed slightly. You delayed it almost 2 months. Then when I tried to cancel you said it could be installed next week but that was lie. Then you kept calling to sell another deal

@virginmedia It was changed by your team trying to compete with sky but could not match the like for like with sky so asked to be left as was till my notice period was up. Virgin have made this a very difficult transition and treated a loyal customer with utter contempt

Finally got through to @virginmedia to cancel. Apparently it takes longer than normal as theyve just put prices up. Oh and day 7 of no broadband but dont worry it SHOULD be back on by 17th Sep. Role on october with @SkyUK

@virginmedia I reset my router at least four times a day. If I was to ring every time my Internet dropped out I'd constantly be on my phone. This isn't and can't be 'a fault', the service is just absolutely crap!

@virginmedia Honestly terrible. I had an order number but no one would take responsibility and arrange the installation. Already had Virgin to the house, it would have been so easy for you.

Have had the phone sent back once and now two weeks later still awaiting a pack to send it off again. Been told just to go to @Apple and been hung up on twice. Hundreds of pounds a month being paid to @virginmedia and not even a hint of customer service!!!! Disgusting
