WiFi went down in the middle of watching Halloween Ends. 4G signal also unresponsive. Stuck on very slow 4G. Virgin Media say it’s possibly a hardware fault and want to send someone Monday. No. I’m not waiting 72 hours with no internet. I’ll implode.

@virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

@virginmedia Hi yes I’ve done this numerous times and spoken to many people on chat and always been told I will get a call to discuss and I never hear back. I just want someone to look into why we cannot get it but it’s available on our road. Thanks

@virginmedia I have to say @virginmedia are one of the worst companies to contact if you have an issue. Their message system is a joke and accounts a shambles. @skyuk is looking a better prospect!!!!

@virginmedia you used to be great, but now not so great. I lose my internet connection far more frequently now. There’s an error when I try and change my package online. I’ve phoned customer service now I have to call tomorrow as your systems are down for changing packages

@virginmedia Not really. I have made arrangements to bring my account up to date and close it as I am a responsible person. However as a result of the U Switch service not working. I have paid you £150 extra for a service that I have not used. So from my point of view I am very frustrated

@virginmedia ...just to back the wifi up as it's so bad. For some reason the only thing that's somewhat ok is my PS4 and even then it'll randomly disconnect every now and again.

@virginmedia Yes, and we have a booster for upstairs. Our issue is always that 2/3 times a day we get big drop offs. Regardless of which room etc literally no download strength at all or maybe 1mb , and upload of around .02- 4.0 mb at same time

@virginmedia I don't know, and my PC is way too far away from my hub to route an ethernet cable for the sake of testing it. And even then, that would only solve the PCs problem. Every phone in the house is having the same problems too. My girlfriend has spent 50gb of her 4G over 10 days...

@virginmedia That's OK. I realise twitter cannot be used to resolve issues, but it is great to let others know how poor you are so they don't make the same mistake
