Atrocious service!

Paul Henderson (@katiesdad52) reported from Brixham, England@franklake @virginmedia @MoneyTelegraph Wait till you finally cancel, you then have to wait for the return packaging to be delivered, assemble the bloody thing, put your boxes into the box they send, including cables and remote, and send it all back or get charged 100 quid. Enjoy!

AJ Merron (@AJMerron_writes) reported from Borough of Torbay, England@virginmedia Apparently there’s some form of outage on the network as a whole. I can’t get any clear answers from the @TravelodgeUK Wi-Fi help line. The network just seems to be refusing to connect logged in devices. I’m here for one night and requested money back for Wi-Fi to no avail.

-
john rowan (@jokewapo) reportedSince @O2 and @virginmedia got together what shite show it is. O2 signal is terrible and Virgin WiFi has went from being brilliant to petty poor
-
Amrit Phull (@Amrit_Phull) reported@virginmedia I have now received three seperate text messages saying the problem has been fixed, when it clearly hasn’t……..I’m still offline. Not only is your service terrible, you add to that deceptive and wrongful communication to your customers. I expect compensation
-
Project Universal (@ProUniversalUK) reportedTrying to cancel @virginmedia .... What a pain in the ***. No wonder they got fined so much for making it hard but they are still at it. @Ofcom
-
Eternal Elneny (@eternalelneny) reported@virginmedia With all due respect, the engineers have been there all day, I saw two of them having a 20 minute lunch break at 10am. Can you push these engineers to get this completed today? Compensation isn’t a valid response to not being able to work - ridiculous service.
-
Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported@SmithyWFC85 @bigsul72 I have access to HBO via my Virgin Media subscription, but don't want to view via an app - that's kinda my point. Sky Sports red button is truly excellent, TNT's isn't bad but is sat unused.

Jindu (@Phils_Cassidy) reportedGood 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?
