@damieng5 @garethmck1987 @virginmedia @NETGEAR I agree. I have the same set up . With Virgin SH3 no wifi signal to conservatory. With Orbi mesh network wifi everywhere in house & in the garden too. Costs a bit more but woryh it IMO.

@virginmedia Thanks for your continued support. All’s clear today - and your colleague on the phone said they would monitor the situation and let us know if anything needed to be done. Lots of examples of this happening online. Putting it down to just being another victim.

@virginmedia your support is absolutely horrendous I called for a repair 3 days ago and he was just trying to sell me things, I called today for a repair and she just argued with me. Absolutely embarrassing company charging £50 a month for internet that’s online 50% of the time

(@kirstykerr14) reported
@virginmedia @virginmedia the app is pretty useless, where can I log a complaint without calling in? My mobile runs off Wi-Fi so I can’t call the helpline, I keep getting disconnected. I want to log an online complaint every time I face service disruptions and use that as basis of cancelling

@virginmedia I don't have a choice I assume. Frustrating to have to call and wait on hold to fix a mistake made by yourselves

@virginmedia finally got through to your staff. Disgustingly rude individuals. One insisted I used "too much broadband" and tried to sell me more. I'm sick and tired of you guys. My contract has been brought to an end and will officially be finished as of next month!

@virginmedia Hi what is the best monthly price for 100mb broadband only for an existing customer out of contract please? I currently have a tv/broadband/landline package but it’s way too expensive. I don’t want to haggle, I just simply want the cost to compare with others
