@virginmedia can you tell me how to send back your NOT so super intelligent WiFi booster. It's crap, does not work and ever since we used it we keep getting kicked off wifi, both me and my partner. Internet speeds are worse on some devices.

@okaygeraldine @virginmedia That’s one for @consumerlinda G. I’d give them a call, I’m astounded they can charge you when you move to an area they don’t service. It feels very very wrong.

.@virginmedia I’ve been waiting for 40 mins and counting. At no point am I told what place I am in the queue nor expected waiting times. Very poor. Can you please arrange a call back as I’m not prepared to wait those sort of times again with no idea of how long it’s likely to be.

@virginmedia your broadband service has been s**t the last 4 days in the BT8 area. Any chance of a fix as I am trying to work from home and having to use hotspot on my phone to ensure I can stay online. A trip to BT when my contract is up.

@virginmedia The housemate who's connection it is has been in contact many times, apparently on Monday he was told permission was needed from the account holder of the new connection, who jas not been contacted about that, and it also sounds too stupid to be true

@virginmedia Broadband is very temperamental. I’ve tried all the suggestions, reset the hub etc. It fixes the issue temporarily but seems to often revert to very poor speeds. Hub 3. Sometimes speeds show as fine, but on all devices the speed is poor.

@virginmedia Hi, yes - it's a long story but involves a switch to O2 mobile that isn't saving money, and the new TV service that took 3 weeks of calls etc to install. It's not resolved yet by a long way, unfortunately!

@BackOnTrack__ @virginmedia It's terrible! For the last 2 weeks hardly any internet connection @virginmedia !! It even took me 15 minutes to tweet this message due to losing connection every 2 minutes.

@virginmedia How is that a fix?! It’s exchanging one problem for another, i’d be exchanging no on demand for losing all my recordings!!! When it’s probably nothing at all to do with the box!!!
