    @virginmedia There is no dial tone and I’ve tried another phone and line is still dead, so it must be the socket that is broken. I’m out now until 1230 if someone can arrange even a web chat as it’s almost 2 months without phone.. Ty

    @virginmedia No, it's not fixed. Same thing happening now as it did yesterday. Alexa cannot connect to Internet, yet my phone can. Echo Dot has been checked and is fine so problem is with @virginmedia

    @virginmedia As I said earlier, I’ve had no internet for the past month and continue to be charged. I can’t use most of your support services as I’ve never been sent any of my customer information @virginmedia

    Holly McCormack 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Hollz2012) reported from Paisley, Scotland

    It seems I made a good call using the OVO priority link this morning and not one through virgin media. Joined a virtual queue of around 12,000 that took half hour and although would like to have been lower down at the gig, I can’t have many complaints. #peterkay

    @virginmedia OK. That's fine . Every time I service check my broadband it tells me there's a fault in my area and its being investigated and to come back in 24 hours and it will be looked into but when I do this it just gives the same response . Its very confusing. And not very helpful at.

    @virginmedia Bullshit! I’m gonna do everything I can on social media to let everyone know what a **** customer service and service you supply. This is not a one time thing it has been constant. I will ensure anyone thinking about joining to go elsewhere. Keep checking my page and you will see

    @virginmedia @stephenblack32 Shocking to say the outage fix could take up to 5th Jan in Glasgow. over a week with no internet during the festive period is unacceptable. I will be cancelling my virgin fibre today.

    Virgin Media @virginmedia should be investigated by Ofcom they are taking money from people while not supplying a service. They are providing a substandard service when the do supply it. Major areas of Glasgow no internet until Jan 5th. Do not join this company they are the worst

  • jimnimmo60
    oor Jim (@jimnimmo60) reported from Airdrie, Scotland

    @O2 @virginmedia probably the worst mobile phone company to deal with. Customer service is a joke. Trying to resolve fraudulent activity on my account and no understanding. Abysmal. Please go anywhere else except them. Just cut me off now.

  • nuttynanaannie
    Anne Marie McPhee (@nuttynanaannie) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia For the past 5 days I've had limited Tivo use and no access to apos at all in Ml15hd also no Internet 90%of the time. Virgins site says they're working in my area to fix this by 20th October. So will I get a reduction on bill for a week of no service.

  • Chban1967
    Banjo (@Chban1967) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia Absolute shambles of a company with absolute zero customer care. Phone up and agree a contract only to get something totally different phone to complain they tell you the phones getting cut off, the goalposts get moved continuously, communication atrocious. AVOID!!!

  • nuttynanaannie
    Anne Marie McPhee (@nuttynanaannie) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia Can anyone advise when I will have Internet. Been down since early hours and I return to work from home tomorrow. J6st says there's intermittent connection issue.

  • ChristianBunga7
    bristian cungay (@ChristianBunga7) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia The checks tell me there are issues. regardless I don’t really care about wider issues in my area. I’ve been sent in a loop for the past month and it’s still broken, I’ve been paying for this time and not receiving a service - this is not the first time either @Ofcom

  • donmackeen
    don mackeen (@donmackeen) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia had the technician come out today after days of patchy service. Got the hub changed, and ... Service still terrible. And now I'm to wait "24 hours"...

  • tofolo_1
    David A (@tofolo_1) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia Are you kidding? I am not paying 30p a minute to call you. The contact us page says webchat but no link? It also says some text service but no number? Are you also just making it impossible to get in touch. If this becomes any harder to set up billing I will cancel....

  • DRoss215
    David (@DRoss215) reported from Paisley, Scotland

    @virginmedia I have been waiting since Thursday for a representative to get in touch why? @Ofcom service been disconnected for nearly two weeks. Impossible to speak with anyone from Virgin Media 😡😡😡

    Reckon we had better offerings on TV last week in our lodge ( caravan ) with Freeview than we do back home with virgin media. TV sucks.

  • HRH_Duke_of_Url
    Dadaldo (@HRH_Duke_of_Url) reported

    Virgin Media are the worst. They strong armed me into a ****** deal to take out an O2 sim for £5 a month just to get affordable broadband. Now when my broadband's down, which happens weekly, I check their online service checker and it bounces me to a virgin02 sign in page.

  • Phils_Cassidy
    Jindu (@Phils_Cassidy) reported

    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

    Trina S 💙 (@BrownEyedGirlGB) reported

    @virginmedia Resolution estimate was 15:08. It’s not intermittent it’s totally out and the resolution estimate has moved 4 times and is now tomorrow evening. Right above the service status issue box is a box saying it’s time to renew, look at contract options. No chance. 4/4.

    @virginmedia @306notout Can you be more pathetic! I tried calling your bullshit customer service line and the lines are closed!!!

    Alan Roberts (@AlanRob68902430) reported

    @virginmedia what the actual **** do you think your doing texting me at 8 am on a Sunday morning then ringing me at 9 am? My contract is over I've repeatedly asked you to come and collect your router as I'm recovering from a heart attack, the account is 74724920 it. Clearly states my name is Alan Roberts yes I'm the fkin account. Holder, YOU DO NOT REPLY TO YOUR OWN MESSAGES , I will be contacting @Offcom tomorrow when its not so ANTISOCIAL.

    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!!
