@virginmedia Sorry, I have done as above. It is still agonisingly slow. Cannot access emails properly. Cannot send attachments. It is the broadband that is the problem. TV is fine.

@virginmedia terrible customer service- been with you for the past few years (despite terrible b/band- so that we have had to buy a router!)&now you are charging us double for the same package! Only thing you can offer us is a deal £25 more p/month than a new customer would pay?!

@virginmedia So to clarify you've not added any additional help to my post, thread or issue and confirm that I have gone through the best way to resolve my issue? And has added additional stress to resolve the issues. Smh. I really hope the WiFi pod's work.

@virginmedia No, there's not, even rebooting it doesn't fix it. It happens several times per day at the moment, and at various times... And it's starting to drive me insane.
