Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia You only pay out for a total loss of service. So it can be unusable but still limping along and you won't pay out. Personally I am hoping for another provider to get around to rolling out fibre in my area.

Eamonn Hunt (@eamonnhunt) reported@virginmedia you need to up your game guys. Two weeks of intermittent connectivity and the best you can do is tell me that I need someone to come to my home but Ill have to pay a £25 fee if I miss the booking slot. How about I charge you £25 per day for lack of service?

(Re)Search & Destroy (@TruthAsylum121) reportedTHREAD 8 — THE DEVICES Connectivity is only useful if people have something to connect. This takes us to Solidaritech in Bradford. The organisation was established in 2017 to refurbish unwanted technology and provide it to refugees and asylum seekers. It works with laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones. The cumulative figure is now more than 5,000 devices since 2017. But that isn’t simply historical. Solidaritech is still operating. In 2025, Bechtle partnered with Solidaritech to repurpose 857 devices, including phones, laptops, PCs and tablets, which were donated to asylum seekers and refugees. Then there is Migrant Help. Through Community Calling, smartphones and free data have been provided specifically for asylum seekers and survivors of trafficking and modern slavery. Virgin Media O2 reported that Migrant Help had received 1,250 devices and free data, with a further 5,000 devices planned. Screen Share UK also received funding to provide devices, connectivity and repair training to refugees and asylum seekers. Its trainees then repaired and redistributed devices to other refugees. The device itself has therefore become part of an ongoing system. Technology is collected. It is refurbished. It is connected. It is distributed. And sometimes the recipient is taught how to repair the next device.
