• 
  Safetypenfold (@SteveRiches4) reported 7 minutes ago from Leicestershire, England

  @virginmedia No. I’m done with text, on line and anything except talking to someone. You’ve had the opportunity using the bot, Twitter and online support, now we need to communicate in person. #realpeople

  Dr Alex Stavrinides (@Dr_Stav) reported 8 minutes ago from West Bridgford, England

  Customer Services via @WhatsApp is just appalling. Looking at you @virginmedia. Feels like I've wasted hours trying to sort out a contract, one bot message at a time.

  Matt Triggs (@mjtriggs) reported 10 minutes ago from West Bridgford, England

  @virginmedia My broadband hub has no power at all, and it seems the solution is an engineer in the middle of next week. How am I meant to work until then? Can’t you just post me a new hub?

• 
  Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported 14 minutes ago from Mountsorrel, England

  @virginmedia No, it’s very random. I was expecting an improvement when I upgraded speeds but it never did.

• 
  Chris Maltby (@ChrisMaltby) reported 14 minutes ago from West Bridgford, England

  @virginmedia The reboot only works until it goes down again so it doesn’t really ‘work’. Anyway, I spent 40 minutes on the phone yesterday and they’re sending me a new router, hopefully that will sort the problem out. Cheers

  Jonathan SC ن Esq. (@jonathansc) reported 15 minutes ago from Wilford, England

  @virginmedia Again we have no broadband and just a vague it will be fixed by 22:00 #Wilford. Why do you not supply incident reference to your customers ?

  Nick Fitzsimons (@NickFitz) reported 18 minutes ago from Leicestershire, England

  @PreetBharara @ZellaQuixote Around 2009 or 2010. I had a computer with a modem that could send faxes that was just about working, and I had to get @virginmedia to send an engineer out to fix my landline. The landline broke again a month or two later and hasn’t worked since, though they still bill me for it.

  Robert Rixon (@RobertRixon) reported 26 minutes ago from Mountsorrel, England

  @virginmedia what is going on with your pitiful excuse for Internet connectivity in LE7. It hasn't been working since midnight, it distill doesn't work. Good job we're leaving you next month for a reliable supplier. #nointernetagain

  High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported 27 minutes ago from Thurnby, England

  @virginmedia So whilst on the phone you put us through to get a dongle as an emergency and you tried to charge us £39! Wow the cheek of it!

• 
  Kevin Renshaw 💙 (@KevinRenshaw5) reported 28 minutes ago from Quorn, England

  And @virginmedia has gone down yet again. TV and WiFi. Unbelievably ****!

• 
  Wayne™ (@Dog_in_a_hat) reported 28 minutes ago from Leicestershire, England

  @virginmedia So let’s think about this, I have a hub, it’s in one room, I have numerous appliances which run of Wifi, which are portable ie can be used everywhere, but you feel I should only use wired device! Not really selling your service well are you!

• 
  Christopher Hallick (@ChrisLonelyguy) reported 36 minutes ago from Leicestershire, England

  Come on @virginmedia I'm again being plagued by #fake #scam #fraud calls on landline. I'm not registered anywhere and on blocked lists. There's auto diallers i believe but operators should be cracking down on this.

• 
  Darren Carson (@DazCarson68) reported 39 minutes ago from Chadwell, England

  @virginmedia hi, could you advise the best method to speak to someone regards a request for return of kit after house move? Chat bot does not help, need to contact an agent thanks

• 
  John Wright (@juanfelipe1) reported 42 minutes ago from Leicestershire, England

  @simonnread @virginmedia I'm having the same issue. For the period of lockdown I could broadly rely on the signal to my home office. The last 2/3 months I haven't and I am constantly having to tether my mobile at my expense. The router hasn't moved and neither has my office. The service has just worsened

  @virginmedia @virginhelp any help with this yet?

• 
  Jonathan SC ن Esq. (@jonathansc) reported 48 minutes ago from Wilford, England

  @virginmedia thank you for confirming that you think it is normal to send you customer no updates when your broadband has been down for in excess if 12 hours #Fail

  paulwitneyphoto (@paulwitneyphoto) reported 52 minutes ago from Ruddington, England

  @virginmedia Yes, your phone operators speak poor English and you have closed your shops so I can no longer go in and physically hold a phone!

  Matt H (@forestmatth79) reported 56 minutes ago from Wilford, England

  @virginmedia down again in NG11 no compensation for the last time can’t get through on the phones to speak to anyone. Not good enough

  Angela (@AngstAHD) reported 2 minutes ago

  .@virginmedia how are we supposed to get help/customer service? Phonelines are unanswered, the online chat goes around in circles and then stops communicating, the Whatsapp service doesn't work. Woeful today.

• 
  Nick. I’m just this guy, y’know? (@BettererBack) reported 9 minutes ago

  @jayemdee63 Virgin media. Awful.

• 
  Shardon (@shardon1980) reported 9 minutes ago

  @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

• 
  Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reported 10 minutes ago

  Do @EE have any actual humans, other than those on commission in sales, working for them? Almost as bad as Virgin Media, certainly worse than @BT who seemed to have taken the worst from both companies and merged. Are there no good comms companies out there?

• 
  dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I already said i did status check which is estimating 5.08pm fix. My point was text says should be fixed shortly. I dont consider 9hours being shortly. Why does this happen more often now? You are no longer reliable any more 🙁

• 
  Amrit Phull (@Amrit_Phull) reported 11 minutes ago

  @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

• 
  twocakesdakes (@2cakesdakes) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Customer since you started. Trying to renew package and being told its £63 . Same package for new contracts is 30 ******* quid cheaper. That's £720 over a 2 year contract.

• 
  VB (@Vincent2455) reported 15 minutes ago

  Received a text from @virginmedia asking me to return an unused device or they will charge me for something I did not request. Made the mistake of calling for address stickers for the return item. Big mistake!! No support! No idea. No stickers. How will this play out in court!!

  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

  By December 2025 @virginmedia ongoing service monitoring determined I needed a free hub to stabilise connection. Lost track of how often internet has gone down for few minutes or so then come back. However, in last month it has been out for hours 3 times. 2/?
