@virginmedia next to useless support over the last 2 days trying to explain to your technical department what packet loss is! In the 40 mins it takes, the packet loss and speed has gone back to normal.

@virginmedia That’s right. We’d moved house and we’re hoping to keep you with us, but there’s been over a month of delays (issues with current cable). I need it for work, so I’ve been forced to cancel and organise alternatives.

@virginmedia No real explanation, just he can’t do it today. I was surprised he already knew of the problem but didn’t stop his installer coming. I spoke to lots of folks today when I called, no one could give me an idea.

@virginmedia Also what you forgot to mention is that if I call the 0345 number from a virgin landline it’s chargeable. Which I found out at my own expense. These issues were previously reported. What more am I ment to do ? Your company has really dragged me down.

@virginmedia What’s the point of providing a Twitter service if you are then unable to have the right people check/report potential system issues which affect your company’s income?
