@MichaeljonF Good question... just having a bit of an iffy connection last few weeks. I have a full on Google WiFi Mesh network... tried to iron out a couple of dubious hacks in the system... plus I’ve upgraded the core hub to the Nest WiFi Router now. Starting to suspect it’s Virgin Media 😂

@virginmedia Hardwired is OK Wi-Fi is always rubbish and so can't connect to watch Netflix you tube it to other boxes as V6 primarily use Wi-Fi and not cable. Poor choice. A total waste of my 130 month and thousands on #4k #oled @LGUK TV I bought

@virginmedia @vmbusinesshelp Been there. Tell you to use the residential service checker, which says no problem. Phone lines have long queues. Service outage is country wide.

@virginmedia my mums tv/broadband went down at 8.30pm last night, you said it would be back up and running by 12.30am, still not working this morning she’s been told it should be back in at 4.30pm today. No mention of the problem! #ridiculous #compensation

@itsnoel @RantAbulus @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Yeah I’m happy with this one. The Hub I had previously was dog shit. Normally get a bit quicker then what Speed Test got tonight, can hit 390Mbps from time to time.

@virginmedia It’s been saying no since yesterday. Since the issues with some static IP customers arose. There’s clearly an issue that you are ignoring despite multiple people telling you. One DS and one US and no GRE.

@virginmedia There are no faults in my area. The issue is likely to be with the router as the 2.4ghz works consistently on other devices.

@virginmedia What a stupid unimaginative reply. I obviously do all the checks before phoning your useless customer service dept. No known issues. Your network is falling apart invest or go bust. You choose!

@virginmedia your support lady told me that my Virgin router is incompatible with Sky Q -no fix and cannot reset. Only solution offered was to get Virgin TV. Is this legal? Your customer’s should have freedom of choice

@AlexExile10 @virginmedia It does that and then mostly you want to do strangling or something with a hammer but that doesn't work either. Put nice music and pour yourself something x
