  • Psycho_Deadman Il Mentore (-Psycho-) Deadman (@Psycho_Deadman) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia Yes, resetting the router solves the issue, however, the issue we have is that we have to reset the router 2-3 times a week. Yesterday we had to do so 4 times. The slightest bit of rain.. the signal is gone. It is thoroughly frustrating.

  • faizalmom Faizal Momoniat (@faizalmom) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia Seems OK now. It was Prime Video that was the problem. I think they couldn't handle all the football live streaming very well, and something had to give. Thanks 👍

  • SteveRiches4 Safetypenfold (@SteveRiches4) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia router not working, of course not your equipment has to be mine. Why have to wait 48 hours to phone again if still not working. It’s arrogant to think we know nothing about IT.

  • adamkemp24 Adam Kemp (@adamkemp24) reported from Leicestershire, England

    Nearly 2 hours on the phone to #virginmedia no1 wants to help. Getting 2mbps for a 200mbps plan. If I paid 1% of the bill am sure they’d find a issue then! #useless
