    Thanks @virginmedia Glad to know your levels of service are still going to be this utterly dire to justify pumping my price up an extra £15 a month!

  • Jp_Leeson
    John Leeson (@Jp_Leeson) reported from Wibsey, England

    @virginmedia Yeah he turned up unannounced and left then after several calls got another engineer out who said the fibre cable is snapped and needs replacing and he could not give me a date or time as his emails on his pda are not working so I guess it’s left in the hands of the gods

  • Bexwa
    Rebecca (@Bexwa) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia The TV that it glitches on cant reach the box to get it wired in (but its only 10 ft away) I can't hard wire my laptop in. It goes off all the time! And then keep texting me saying you are coming for the WiFi pod after speaking with customer service. Im paying a fortune for this

    Ashley Hirst (@ashleyhirst15) reported from Bradford, England

    @skytv are proper jokers account due for renewal and only offered to know it down by £7 per Month... That's the £7 increase they put on... Virgin media can get same package for 30 cheaper!

  • fastnodeceo
    Beau (@fastnodeceo) reported from Leeds, England

    @ladyjaney75 @WhichUK When Virgin Media install VOIP phone lines I believe they stick some kind of SIM in for if the network is down, when the engineer knows it is a vulnerable/elderly user from when I asked previously.

  • andy_english
    Andrew English (@andy_english) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @LordTets @virginmedia Go to Ofcom... you have clearly given them ample time on numerous occasions to resolve your complaint. Life is too short to spend your time waiting for promised calls and web chats... let the ombudsman deal with them.

    Good afternoon everyone I’ll briefly share my POV on choosing a good proxy. Here are the 3 major things you must check before using any IP: 1. ISP (Internet Service Provider)
This is the most important factor.
Think of it like our local networks — Glo, Airtel, MTN, or 9mobile.
Always pick residential consumer ISPs (e.g., AT&T, Comcast for USA; Telstra/TPG for Australia; Virgin Media, BT, Vodafone for UK) instead of datacenter providers (DigitalOcean, AWS, Choopa, etc.).
Websites easily flag datacenter IPs, but residential ones look like normal users on home Wi-Fi or mobile data. 2. Fraud Score / IP Reputation
Before binding the proxy, test it with tools like Scamalytics, IPQS, or Pixelscan. • ✅ Low Fraud Score (0–10) = Clean & safe. • ❌ High Fraud Score (30+) = Avoid. It will trigger CAPTCHAs, bot detection, or shadowbans.
Also check it’s not blacklisted on major spam databases. 3. IP Range (First 3 Octets)
Not all ranges from the same ISP perform the same. Some subnets get abused over time.
Australia examples:
❌ Avoid: 1., 101., 110.
✅ Good: 124., 121., 120. (Telstra) | 80. (TPG)
UK examples:
✅ Good: 86., 80. (Virgin Media) | 82., 78. (BT) Pick the right ISP and you’ll rarely get flagged. This was the main issue a lot of people faced with services like Outlier and Handshake. What proxy challenges are you currently facing? Drop them below

    @j_ball13 @virginmedia when my mum died she was the primary account holder of our t3sc0 mobile family plan. instead of letting us switch our dad to the named person on the account, they cut our contracts off and left us with no working signal at all. absolute rubbish, i think they even put a block on

  • AFC_OSRS
    Cobes (@AFC_OSRS) reported

    @j_ball13 @virginmedia Ignore them till the death certificate they can't do ****, all smoke n mirrors. Had that issue with my uncle passing. 1 email in writing and when obtained provide death certificate.

  • FilerPlays
    Filer (@FilerPlays) reported

    @MachineGunLuk3y @virginmedia Majority’s of the ISP’s in my area run off the BT network so I’ve got fibre to the property with about 1GB down. I’ve had Virgin before and didn’t rate it, had issues similar to yourself as well mate.

  • Ryanishistory
    Lord Ryan Mehrabany-Burnett (@Ryanishistory) reported

    @virginmedia we are due to have an engineer come out on Monday to look at the new box and remote which you said we had to have and doesn’t work. We have received a text message that if someone over 18 isn’t in, you will fine us £25. Great customer service.

    Kay (@kaytydaty) reported

    @virginmedia I want to change bank details but online, the manage direct debit link, goes to ‘something’s not quite right, we’ve found a problem, please try again’ every time. Can you send me a direct link please? Thanks Kay

  • TomQuante
    Tom Quante (@TomQuante) reported

    @virginmedia You won't answer your phone (apparently this is a tactic you use..?) and I am not paying my increased bill. Cancelled my DD with you so I will let you chase me instead. Your customer service is still terrible

    @virginmedia intermittent service for 24 hours.
