    Upgrading to gigabit broadband meant getting a new router from VirginMedia, so took the opportunity to tidy up and remove old cabling and extension leads. Didn't realise just how much unused crap I still had plugged in/taking up space

    @richie_rich77 @virginmedia If it's just a WiFi issue and your LAN connection is OK maybe try a mesh system. Works great here with BT

    @virginmedia My wife is currently on the phone to your customer service regarding this matter so hopefully it'll be resolved this evening, if not then a web chat from 4pm would be the best time for me

    @virginmedia On hard wired, approx 250mbs out of 350mbs. It’s a hub 4 with new connectors added and bits of cable, but again I’m having to call support to see why our intellipods aren’t working.

  • damianKerlin
    damian Kerlin 🏳️‍🌈 (@damianKerlin) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes, and it is a different issue every time. How, in a capital city, is this happening everyday, with your engineers unable to do anything to improve the situation. …and what about that refund, as we are paying for internet which we are not getting?

  • behnazakhgar

    @virginmedia When will the website be fixed? It has been broken for weeks, ever since you “improved” it.

    @MicksterNoonan @virginmedia @joelycett None was cancelled due to a house move as my new installation is booked in. THEY needed up and BLAMED ME. After 3 hours, a formal complaint and 4 calls a further call got me through to a useful agent who explained cancelling your installation fixes it..
