  Could a twitter friend give me the number to phone Virgin Media -the internet is down and Newark’s rubbishy 3 G never loads anything in my phone.

  Micky Richards (@mickyrichards27) reported 5 minutes ago from Lincoln District, England

  @virginmedia Yes. I never seem to get anywhere with that. That's why I called.

  Clive Burt (@Clive_Burt) reported 6 minutes ago from North Hykeham, England

  @virginmedia I do get fed up with @virginmedia platitudes and inability to solve why I have poor connections speed, down to 28kbs at the moment, but your Helpdesk, after I waited 45 minutes, do not consider this to be a problem. Try downloading a 100Mb spreadsheet at that speed.

  @virginmedia Please let me know what I should press to get through to support. The options are totally garbled

  Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported 11 minutes ago from Lincoln District, England

  A recorded voice saying sorry only calls to an emergency number are allowed is not much help of your lying on the floor only able to press your emergency lanyard! @virginmedia urgent training is required to ensure people aren’t left in this situation. #unacceptable #LivesAtRisk

  @virginmedia why is my speed down from 500 Mbs to 92.8 when your system states nothing wrong in my area 🤬

  Clive Burt (@Clive_Burt) reported 22 minutes ago from North Hykeham, England

  @virginmedia Ok Virginmedia, the WiFi extender for which paying for (installed on 27th May 2020) has ceased working, this may or may not be as a result of the issues from the weekend or not, but before the issues started, it worked, afterwards it didn't. How do I get it replaced?

  Changing ISP to Virginmedia; the stress & hours of my life lost, trying to resolve issues trying to register an account, & porting home phone number WOW! I'm informed their systems are unique, this = hassle. #virginmedia #consumers #shoponline

  @virginmedia how many times are you going to pass me off to other departments or hang up on me! Not to mention create a bill that does not exist. #hadenough #virginmedia #ofcom

  Marc Hanheide (@MarcHanheide) reported 30 minutes ago from Lincoln District, England

  @virginmedia tried calling you for 40 minutes now, no luck. Broadband issue in LN1 area. Can ping external servers but your DNS servers (194.168.4.100) is not responding/working. All our devices are affected, but service status says all good. Rebooted everything. Fix please!

• 
  Clive Burt (@Clive_Burt) reported 36 minutes ago from North Hykeham, England

  @virginmedia Still here waiting for the restoration of the internet service I pay you to provide.

• 
  Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported 37 minutes ago from Lincoln District, England

  @virginmedia So what your saying is your doing the minimum required by the regulator, and failing your vulnerable customers. As previously stated VM will be mentioned in courts when people are pressing their emergency assist numbers and get a VM message saying their call can’t be connected!

  Paul Saxby (@lightpro) reported 50 minutes ago from Balderton, England

  @virginmedia I know you had to close most of your call centres but why couldn’t your staff work from home, like the rest of us. Your comms are crap... just saying..

  Hey @virginmedia - yet ANOTHER outage HA54ED. How many more will there be? My elderly mother in law had no TV for 10 days recently. You gave her compensation. How about proper service? Not good enough. Please contact me.

  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
