  Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported 5 minutes ago from Topsham, England

  @virginmedia I’m complaining about the difficulty & time taken to resolve an issue. Being on the helpline for over 2 hrs, being passed on numerous times, each time going thru security, each time explaining issue, people not calling back when promised, complaint not addressed. feel powerless.

  @MonkeyBonus @premierinn @virginmedia same problem here too. Had paid for a month on the 20th but initially I was asked to pay again so tried logging out and logging in and can't do that either!

  AJ Merron (@AJMerron_writes) reported 8 minutes ago 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.

  @virginmedia Please advise how to remove/reset a Virgin Media online account as original login details all out of date. No help on website, live chat or text so please don’t suggest these.

  @virginmedia Hi. Following up the comment above. I have heard nothing from the team. Your complaint handling process is broken.

• 
  Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported 24 minutes ago from Topsham, England

  @virginmedia It is hard to complain. I just want to send an email but cannot find how to do this. I do not want to speak to your call centre or use the live text - both routes have failed to respond to complaint. Only other method is to send in a physical letter.

  @TravelodgeUK Wi-Fi, provided by @virginmedia not only has ripped me off but their customer support team are apparently away all weekend. This is obviously a scam.

  Trying to talk to get a change to our @virginmedia account. 5 weeks, none of the promised call back & now they close our account without telling us. If this is how they treat long term customer avoid like the plague!! #customerservicefail #broadband

  @CISASUK @virginmedia I used the resolution service to come to a settlement with Virgin on 9/4/19. Response from Virgin that a cheque would be sent and should be received within 7-10 working days. Today is the 12th working day and I’ve received no cheque in the post. Not happy

  @virginmedia a few weeks ago I had some broadband issues and was told a new hub would be dispatched to me. I still haven’t received it, and my account says I don’t have any open orders. I tried to contact VM via chat, but (twice) the agents said nothing when connected!

• 
  Kev (@victor50) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia if Virgin paid me £5 for every time the wifi went down, I’d be a wealthy man. I am anyway, but not quite enough to sue under the trades description act for diabolical service. Absolutely awful. The new provider can’t get in our area quick enough.

  @virginmedia Hi, we've had a broadband/TV outage most of today & we're told it would be repaired by 22.00 tonight. Now the latest update says it will be 15.45 tomorrow 29th. I work online from home so awkward is an understatement. How is this taking so long? F012401961.

  @virginmedia inc movies & sport & 1gb broadband all for a lady who has never used either and only sends the odd email . We have just spent another evening waiting another missed call and still no response to an email we sent a couple weeks ago . This is all causing her distress .

  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

  Telefónica and Liberty Global are looking at ways to bring down the £22bn debt pile at Virgin Media O2, their UK joint venture, after a sharp sell-off in the company's bonds. A roughly $925mn unsecured note fell to as low as 57 cents on the dollar this week, down from about 78 at the start of July, and even the senior secured paper slipped. The measures under discussion include cutting the expected £200mn dividend, pulling back capex, and reducing headcount.
