-
Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England@virginmedia They can't help either, the real issue, lets be honest, is the fact nobody at Virgin will admit their equipment is awful and not really fit for purpose, the least super thing ever is the superhub 3.0
-
AllpointsTV - Jamie (@AllpointsTV) reported from Guisborough, England@virginmedia so trying to get an engineer to fix my 1gb internet after days of it running at sub 200mb and disconnecting at midnight it’s now been off for over a day . I just kept being told try again in one hour
-
Peter 🐈🎸🕹️🍺♈ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England@virginmedia It was working fine, then went off and came back but the hub was flashing green quite quickly. When it renegotiates it's usually slow and steady green flash but this was really quick
-
Mat⚙ (@NotEnoughTECH) reported from Ingleby Barwick, EnglandHey @virginmedia what's your support email address in the UK? Your website is absolutely useless in that regard
-
andrea mcdonald (@AndreaAndymac) reported from Redcar, England@virginmedia No it wasn't. I want to do it when it's convenient for me not virgin media. Thanks for nothing..As well as expecting the customer to do all the work installing the equipment you making the decisions without consultation.Seriously thinking about my 14 day change of mind now.

𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕠𝕟 🎧🎙📻 (@john_watson_) reported from Redcar, England@DanWalk32531219 @virginmedia Just checked at 2am, finally back up again, though poor speeds on a speed test, hopefully will improve by the morning 🤞
-
Peter 🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England@virginmedia Checked l the internal cabling and all right etc so hopefully just a lose wire somewhere at the cabinet or something the engineer can easily fix. Is there any refund due to lack of service? I pay £67 a month. Can offset that against my mobile phone data

Jonny Dearlove (@jonnydearlove) reported from Middleton St. George, England@virginmedia Hi. Weve just moved house and are trying to install a new router but house connections look out of date. What is the best contact for someone to help with this as may need someone to come out?
-
Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England@virginmedia I’ve got 16 months left on my current contract but I’d like to cancel it as I have good reason
-
Simon Clayton (@SiClayton) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, EnglandAbsolutely atrocious service AGAIN from @virginmedia - broadband, TV, telephone - all down and Tuesday is the earliest anybody can be bothered to come out - from one of the largest telecoms companies in the UK 😡😡😡
-
gary doyle (@werbedoyle) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England@virginmedia every month I make the same bloody phone call, you are thee worst company ever !!! Customer service is appalling over charged massively for four months,IS any one out there !!!
-
Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England@virginmedia You won't process it as I am not willing to pay for 30 days of no Internet as the hub has almost zero range even if my line issues are resolved
-
Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England@virginmedia I've done this many times previously and does nothing, the most recent request to switch it from modem mode is so you would process my complaint with ofcom which in turn means I'm without WiFi for 30 days unless standing on the "superhub"
-
julia millington (@MillingtonJulia) reported from Marske-by-the-Sea, England@virginmedia please can you confirm is there a wifi connection problem in the TS11 area?
-
Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England@virginmedia I wouldn't recommend your media connect app its awful, the booster you sent out does exactly zero, as for blackspots around the house that would be anywhere in the house more than 1.5m from the hub, all the software in the world won't polish the turn you call a superhub
-
Mark Walker (@mark770) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England@virginmedia My issue is bband been down since Thursday night and Friday a tech visit for this morning between 8 and 12. Due to an outage at your end, the visit was incorrectly cancelled as your records showed as "now fixed". We didn't find this until contacting yourselves after 12 today
-
Adam (@ajtheladplummy) reported from Middlesbrough, England@virginmedia Advertises the best fastest and most reliable internet you can get but all you get is buffering.

ChinoAleman (@chinoalemano) reportedEveryone's focused on $AMPG's US story. And fair enough, they're expanding fast across America. The only American 64T64R AI-RAN radio, deployed at Telus, a Strategic Partner in the DoD-funded Open6G hub next to $NVDA and $QCOM, and the CEO just said new major carriers may go straight to POs next quarter. The US story alone is plenty. But here's what almost nobody is connecting: it was never going to stop at America. On the last earnings call, CEO Fawad Maqbool pointed somewhere else entirely: "Our success being the largest O-RAN deployment in America is helping us reach out and reach further into Europe and other areas of the world". That's the strategy in one sentence. Win the flagship at home, then use that credibility as a passport into other markets. And it isn't just talk. The groundwork is already there. Receipt 1, the concrete one: AMPG signed a 5-year supplier agreement with Fujitsu Spain back in October 2024, explicitly expanding its reach across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. So when the CEO says "Europe," there's already a signed, multi-year channel underneath the words. Receipt 2 is hiding in plain sight: the United Kingdom. Look at AmpliTech's customer wall and you'll find Digital Catapult. Most people scroll right past it. But Digital Catapult isn't a random logo. It's a UK government-backed innovation organization, funded through Innovate UK and DSIT (the UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology). And it runs SONIC Labs, the country's flagship Open RAN testing facility. Here's where AMPG enters. Its 64T64R Massive MIMO radio was tested at the O-RAN Global PlugFest in London, hosted at SONIC Labs, with HTC's G-REIGN providing the DU/CU stack and AmpliTech bringing the radio. The only American radio in the room, validated inside a UK government-funded laboratory. Now the part that makes it interesting. Who advises SONIC Labs? All four of Britain's major operators: EE/BT, Three, Virgin Media O2 and Vodafone UK. They sit on its advisory board, shaping what they need from Open RAN vendors and acting as potential future buyers of the vendors who pass through. So picture it. AMPG's radio validated in a government-backed UK lab, whose advisory board is a who's-who of every major British carrier. The entire UK Open RAN buying ecosystem, in one room, watching the only American radio perform. Now let me be completely honest, because that's the only way this is worth anything. There is no signed UK contract. The British operators advise SONIC Labs, they do not own it, and they haven't bought anything from AMPG yet. This was a product-validation milestone, not a revenue event. Anyone telling you the UK government or a British carrier is about to hand AMPG a deal is getting ahead of the facts. A foot in the door is not a sale. But here's why it matters AMPG keeps showing up in exactly the rooms that matter. The US DoD-funded Open6G hub. The O-RAN Global PlugFest as the only American 64T64R radio to pass. A signed channel into Europe via Fujitsu Spain. And now a UK government-backed lab advised by every major British operator. And the CEO saying they'll expand to Europe. That's the pattern. The same playbook, repeated across the Western world: get the only American radio validated, get it in front of the buyers, and let the sovereignty tailwind do the rest. One market at a time. This isn't a company waiting to be discovered. It's methodically getting itself in front of every major Open RAN buyer in the US and Europe, one validation at a time. The contracts are the next step, not the first one. A foot in the door isn't a deal. But you never get the deal without it first. And AMPG's foot is now in a lot of very important doors. Still sub-$1B while all of this quietly compounds. Not financial advice. I'm long $AMPG. DYOR. 📡

Foredeck (@Foredeck99) reported@virginmedia When I repeatedly, politely tell your tele sales team to remove my name from your calling list they fail to do so, I am sometimes getting multiple daily calls from you. Execrable customer service, 0/10.
