Virgin Media Issues Reports

(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.

Caroline (@finn33) reported@virginmedia I’ve done the trouble shooting steps. You’ve checked that I’ve paid my bills. Hence the comment about the engineer. I don’t need to give you any other details.
-
Caroline (@finn33) reported@virginmedia home WiFi down again. No update on engineer time. Just that they’re fixing the problem. How can we get this sorted. Seems a bit of heat and your WiFi goes down. What exactly am I paying for?!

-
paul d (@pauldewolfe) reported@virginmedia Really disappointed. Called to renew my contract but couldn’t get a good enough deal, so wanted to cancel. They couldn’t process it and told me to call back. I did, gave my name, email, ph number, bank details and last payment, but they still couldn’t pass security.

Investigation Findings The regulatory investigation covered calls made between January 1, 2022, and September 11, 2024. Ofcom found that MILLIONS of customer service interactions were mishandled to prevent or delay cancellations. Specific tactics included: • Deliberately dropping or hanging up calls when customers asked to cancel. Putting callers on hold for no reason to frustrate them Excessive and unnecessary call transfers between departments. Using a two-tier retention system where only specific agents were allowed to process final cancellations. THIS LOT ARE CONFIRMED CRUEL SCAMMERS
