@MintyPNE @virginmedia I ranted & got nowhere. My wife got an engineer round and job sorted (V box on 2nd room) They don't care about customer service.

Tell you what...@virginmedia know how to persuade you to change service providers...2 calls in 3 nights to “upgrade my mobile phone services”...told the first person I’m happy with what I’ve got...I’m not a fan of repeating myself...

@virginmedia internet yesterday went from 12mbs (11am) to 30mbs (3pm). Today it’s 3mbs. How is this acceptable? No reported issues but our internet goes up and down constantly, sometimes goes off altogether

@virginmedia why does my super hub 3 keep resetting my WiFi password. I’m having to change it through settings every other day because it keeps defaulting back to the security key, this is causing major issues

Just spoke to @virginmedia attempting to rectify broadband issues - their suggestion is to “sit closer to the hub” Brilliant wish I had thought of that..!

@virginmedia Thanks, according to your website it’s a known issue and won’t be fixed till 9pm. Never mind, just hope it’s fixed sooner especially as TV is down too!

@virginmedia As was promised (via, text, tweet and written correspondence!!) I have spent countless hours on hold to no resolve. I will await your promised call. Each day I don't receive said call/contact I will continue to demonstrate publicly how bad your customer services are..

@virginmedia Bit of both to be honest, I’ve entered my postcode in and the service status is good. However I occasionally get disconnected via Wifi and I am receiving download speeds of 45 Mbps when I’m paying for 350.

@virginmedia I am a Virgin customer and at 11:33 today I received a call on my landline from 01515177785. Female caller claimed to be from Virgin, asking about its performance. Challenged her ID and the link was broken. She did not call back. Suspected fraud.

@virginmedia The engineer did make some tweaks that were supposed to help (which haven't) but did also suggest that modern Apple devices do struggle on the now aged Routers.

@virginmedia I currently can’t do either, reliant on wifi calling from my mobile which I currently can’t do and don’t own a landline phone, the online self service is as much use as a chocolate teapot, I’m assuming if I cancel the direct debit you’ll be quick to get in touch.

@virginmedia I'll try it and see what happens but can't say I'm optimistic as these issues have been going on for months and I know we've tried that before.

@virginmedia No loose connections I can see. Its been happening for months now. Not good when you require a good signal to run your business
