-
Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia Issue is still ongoing. I have called the helpline twice and after dialling my password and getting a dial tone, I have been cut off both times before speaking to anyone. Are your phone lines broken?
-
Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England@AbzAaron @virginmedia Even better… if you don’t play along, nobody else will cancel it. You can’t even hang up on the sales pitch.
-
William (@wpcastile) reported from Paddington, England@jexxicamunro @virginmedia OMG this is so bad, especially when working from home in a lockdown!
-
Chris Green (@chrisgreen) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia You know full well that a broken drop cable (which you already know is the issue from the last time you unhelpfully responded) won’t be shown on your service status page. For crying out loud! Your cut-and-paste response is both disrespectful and of no use whatsoever! #epicfail

Shaz (@Housewife6) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia I just got a direct message from you but i dont think it was you! Also no issues but the wifi wasnt working. Its back now will go again

CALUM GRAY (@Jo_The_Waiter) reported from Hammersmith, England@DJRustyEgan @virginmedia It’s not speed I have a problem with, it’s all my services are down.. no broadband, no tv, no home phone. Awful service
-
Joseph Machta⭐⭐ (@pepemac27) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia hey there. Our broadband has been down since yesterday and the estimated fix time keeps being put later and later. My wife is working from home today so it's pretty impossible. Please could we have some sort of replacement dongle in the mean time?
-
Duarte Mendonça (@DuarteMendonca) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia having massive issues with billing and tried over 5 times to sort this over the phone. Most times someone will hang up and not call back making me have to call again, wait for 30m, tell the whole story again. Need to speak to an actual human at a store. Suggestions?
-
Brigitte RicouBellan (@globalbribri) reported from Paddington, EnglandVirgin Media upload 0.5 Mbps (Vs. a 30Mbps + promise) since 13/11. No fix in sight in spite of @virginmedia having acknowledged our pb, at a time where having a decent internet service in your home is a matter of life & death.

Foodwise Woman (@FoodwiseWomen) reported from Kensington, EnglandI’m trying to live chat to @virginmedia to see if they can install a Hub 5 router in our area as Apple reporting privacy problems with existing router. I’m on hold for a ‘live’ agent but their Terri Triage BOT requires me to press the ‘Yes I’ll hold button’ every 40secs. 😱😱😱
-
Shaz (@Housewife6) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia i have been trying to get my Broadband issues fixed for months and now twice i have received no call backs as promised. I called and have just been on hold for over 1 hour and then you hung up on me! 😡😡😡😡

craig crawford (@craiginmotion) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia And how am I to do that with no service? It took 3 technicians to figure out my modem had to be “pin reset” and another to rename it properly. Thats 1 hr of my life gone. So glad @CommunityFibre has arrived near me.

helena (@hdl_dl) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Hi, still with the problem. Broken and distorted image and audio
-
CALUM GRAY (@Jo_The_Waiter) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia It was fixed about 1:30am but this is happening a lot since I moved to Hammersmith. But you never tell us what the problem is or give any compensation. I couldn’t do anything. Even my PS4 wouldn’t allow me to play games as they connect online. No TV nothing

That’s why 1

Oracle (@biggle1908) reportedLooking for some advice lovely people. For twenty something years I have had broadband from BT and TV from Sky. Sky’s renewal is coming in at over £100 per month and am currently paying £62 for BT which is now painfully slow. I have been looking at Virgin Media for both and this gives me a saving of around £70 per month for much faster broadband. What are people’s experiences with Virgin Media. Thanks in advance.

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?

Jacqueline Bolton (@JacquelineBolto) reported@virginmedia My private messages don't appear to be being sent. Am having to use phone data to message you. We live in Surrey. Not prepared to give my postcode here. No Internet since 5am. Independent sites say there is an outage that would cover our area.

Dide (@dide_oluwa) reported@virginmedia your network has been terrible for days now , no cell signal whatsoever
-
Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reportedDo @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?

simon withers (@KalEl_WBS) reported@virginmedia I’m tired of repeating myself, I’ve sent multiple DMs to you and you never reply.
