THREE CALLS to your customer services and all connected to off shore people who have either not got a clue what a complaint is or refused to log one for me!

SBJ💙 (@SharonJukes) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, EnglandTwo days have now passed and they have heard nothing. They have no phone or internet and Dad is 80.

Chris Laws (@ChrisLaws1) reported from Cheadle, England@virginmedia please sort your service out... I have now been on the phone to you for almost an hour. The first person hung up on me, the second was rude and useless. All for £0.01 which I don't owe. No wonder the landlords are removing virgin from all of the apartments
-
Anthony Hibbs (@HibbsA) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England@Paulout @BT @virginmedia I can’t believe how bad BT have been over this. Advisors just seem to want to keep you talking even after taking 20+ mins to get through and then do nothing for you. Proper fed up 🙁

-

Paul Turner™ (Personal) (@PaulTurner140) reported@virginmedia @1StaceyBowman Don’t waste your time Stacey. I’ve been waiting four days for a proper interaction with them and have sent four “private messages” as requested. They simply ask you to DM them to keep their atrocious service and your full complaint from public view.

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?

Cmdr Anaander Miaani (@philbigdog) reported@virginmedia my neighbour has Gigabit fibre with you, their house is 20 feet from mine yet you claim I cannot be connected to the network. Please contact me on how I can fix this ludicrous error.
-
Shardon (@shardon1980) reported@virginmedia Issue still not fixed . your compensation is £10.34 a day . What about subscription services like Netflix etc . I’ve had to use data from my phone to work, this is unacceptable in an age where everything is WiFi. Also no contact from your team. This is a major issue in the area
-
Luis Alvarez (@alvarezluisf) reportedDoes anyone else in Ireland has @VirginMediaIE as their mobile data provider? It's THE WORST service out there! God do I regret switching to Virgin Media, this mistake has cost me money and patience.
-
† 𝕭𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖉𝖔𝖓 𝕽𝖞𝖆𝖓 𝕭𝖊𝖆𝖚𝖒𝖔𝖓𝖙 † (@Polythane) reported@VeltisLeEvil @Thatisdiffi You wait, I guess. But with Virgin Media, my internet very rarely goes down, and if it does, I can just go outside and do something else, like go watch some movies. It's never usually out for more than 3 hours
-
GW 🔰🏴 (@GW_Mktg) reported@MartinSLewis Well, @virginmedia pretty useless at fixing their service too. Broadband down as we speak!
-
dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported@virginmedia Plus convenient for you to get out of the compensation clause, restoring it for a few hours. The latest update showing is fix by 5 August at 16:08, so another whole day without internet. Is this a new fault or the last one not fixed properly?
