    @virginmedia Doesn't help me now does it when I've borrowed the money to get my services on and STILL I can't even get through on WhatsApp? (Can't call due throat and voice issues at the moment)

    @virginmedia hey. Board and doesn’t seem to be working at the moment. I’ve tried restarting twice and called to have a check on my equipment. That seems to be fine. When I restart it works for about 30 minutes and then goes down again. Thanks

    @virginmedia Honestly, do you think 2.92mb when I'm paying for 500mb is acceptable. Been a customer for 20 years, I can't wait to leave you!

    Nik Lane (@NikLane7) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @TheStevieG123 @virginmedia I had a similar issue with EE (plus the phone wasn't a good enough upgrade for the money!) I sent it back within 14 days and got a sim only. 5g prob won't be worthwhile over here for some time yet

  • LegitBoss69
    🦄 UnicornFarts641🦄 (@LegitBoss69) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia Mixture of things . I don't even feel like a valued customer with you guys.

  • lutonmagoo
    Big E (@lutonmagoo) reported from Caddington, England

    @virginmedia Yes conveniently he said we cannot run a test on the service at the moment because there is no service and it’s crap and doesn’t work

  • PhilCampbell_
    Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia No. There never are. I've had issues with this since I'd had it installed.

  • LisaKathryn5
    Lisa Kathryn (@LisaKathryn5) reported from St Albans, England

    @virginmedia is on demand down for the night? Several reboots, called 150 , robot voice ran the so called check and said all was ok. V217 code brings up ‘contact us’ error on the ‘brilliant’ new app. Please advise

  • Pensar_Mark
    Mark Williams (@Pensar_Mark) reported from Berkhamsted, England

    @virginmedia Still no reply from @virginmedia over 8 hours after they promised they would call. Was told I would be called back at 12:00. It’s now 20:15. They seem to be oblivious to the very notion of customer service. #completefail

    @virginmedia Hi. I can see there’s an ongoing issue with the TV in my area with fix date of 1600hrs 25th. This has been going on for over a week now & the blips/surges through the box & it constantly resetting is becoming really annoying & has even taken the wifi out sometimes.

  • craigr98_2016
    Craig R 🇹🇩🌹 (@craigr98_2016) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia I’m on a sim only deal with you recently taken it out, but looks like I have under estimated how much data I need is it possible to switch to a higher data plan? And then if not needed move back down?

  • Dan_lutonbear
    dan@randrhotrodimports (@Dan_lutonbear) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia Same as usual. Bots. Round and round in circles I want to cancel virgin media. Maybe you will contact me when I cancel any further direct debit payment 😡😡😡

  • SteveDunn09
    Steve Dunn (@SteveDunn09) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia Yeah... he he... when the broad band decides to work that might help.. when you get 'not connected' via ethernet and wifi the tests are a bit meaningless

  • lutonmagoo
    Big E (@lutonmagoo) reported from Caddington, England

    @virginmedia broadband down again in my area pay so much money for this so-called superior service absolute shite can’t wait to leave

  • johnvasili1
    VAS (@johnvasili1) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @virginmedia Again why send me a bill when I'm no longer a customer

  • GeoRog7
    Geo 🍍 (@GeoRog7) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @virginmedia I agree they wont but if you see the loss i am getting of -82dbm from being 7 metres away surely a pod will expand coverage into that area with the poor signal strength? If i stand next door to the router i get my expected speeds - thanks

    @virginmedia No known issues on everything (broadband tv & phone)

    Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reported

    I gave you my proposed resolution three times, two working pods shipped together, pre activated and 50% off until both function as am losing productivity and your service isn’t useful for my work. @virginmedia since I have been asked to cancel- I don’t think that proposal matters anymore.

  • smickyboy
    Mike Garner (@smickyboy) reported

    @virginmedia 2 days running we have had intermittent Internet in CV6 1GG and 2 days running your checker says the issues have been fixed. They have NOT! Isn't about time you really fixed it?

  • RicoWeston07
    Ricoderlig (@RicoWeston07) reported

    @virginmedia I signed up to a new broadband service and the hib was due to be sent yesterday but I cant call to speak to anyone or log into a virgin account as I dont have an account number yet. Can you help?

  • CleanzineEditor
    Jan Hobbs (@CleanzineEditor) reported

    @virginmedia I've just sent a message & X told me there was a problem & my message would be saved. I'm hoping you receive it soon.

    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

    @virginmedia So how do i go about reporting an SNR upstream Area fault now? the forums have been shut down which always handled it before but now ive been stuck with this causing packet loss since early June.

    @virginmedia At £16 for a rental it shouldn’t even be a question … never mind “understanding” and “appreciating” …. Get it sorted 😡

  • baldiecute5
    meeeee (@baldiecute5) reported

    Just about had enough of this company and haven't even been connected yet ! Engineers turning up on wrong day or not at all ! Customer servicea shockingly hard to understand! And pretty useless , last chance tomorrow before I cancel transfer @virginmedia

  • ScarlettShaw
    Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reported

    The one touch switch for broadband might sound like a good idea but here’s something they don’t mention. When you leave @virginmedia , the email address you’ve had for 30 years is deleted. So you have to spend hours and hours changing login details on everything. It’s so stupid.

  • rising_lefty

    @j_ball13 @virginmedia They were awful when my nan died. I told them so they could cancel everything, sent proof and still tried to charge each month.
