@virginmedia Hi thanks already tried lots of this and we've only had the problem for past couple of days so I can't see why it would be an issue with the Ethernet cable or positioning.

Hey @virginmedia you better offer me a better deal tomorrow or else I will be leaving. New customers are always treated better than existing. I know from experience with you guys that this never changes.

@Shadow_Official @virginmedia This issue I found happened more on wifi, I had to put in a secondary switch and run everything via Ethernet.

@virginmedia Or maybe that’s wishful thinking. Anyway. We will be considering our options over the weekend and I don’t think we will be staying with VM. Bad service is too regular now

@virginmedia Hello, I've tried rebooting the hub and it has made it worse. There was nothing listed on the site as a problem for my area. I can't get through anything on Netflix without 4,5 maybe 6 stops to buffer.

@virginmedia That would imply that I had faith in your services & belief that you cared about your customers. I know from the past that this is not the case. I have already checked and this problem is supposed to be fixed by 3pm, it has been ongoing since 8am. It really is tedious and boring

@virginmedia the service is deteriorating. Time to review your performance and reveal the source of your problems before your customer base starts to become even more disenchanted.

@virginmedia Your chat help was absolutely no help at all. Unable to answer a simple question. I’ll have to queue for hours to speak to someone, who I hope can make sense. Can’t wait to leave @virginmedia #trapped

@virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

@Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

@virginmedia When you are using your data in your own house so often, have Netflix, Now and Amazon Prime you pay for that you can’t even use when Broadband are down, you have to ask, what the HELL am I doing with a company that can’t provide a basic bloody service.

@virginmedia Ok, that’s fine then. I am keeping a log of every hour my internet is down you will be billed £500 p/hour until it’s resolved.

(@Mandrake_UK) reported
@virginmedia This downtime has been absolutely terrible for a service sold as being "one of the best". I will be looking to see if there are any alternative services in my area and ending my dealings with you since this keeps happening far too often for such a high-priced service.

(@jebartrick) reported
@virginmedia It is my wired connection that I am using into the router. I have a ping running to the bbc site and I can see it dropping every 10 minutes or so for about 15 seconds. The problem is that each time it drops it also disconnects my work connection so I have to manually restart it
