  @virginmedia Hi there. Our broadband is down. Your phone line says CM23 area has problems being fixed. Website says there are no issues. Can you be the tie breaker please so we know whether it’s our hardware (again) or a broader issue?

  Richard (@HalloweenJack55) reported 6 minutes ago from Epping, England

  @virginmedia my broadband is down with an estimated fix of 1625 tomorrow. Not good enough.

  @virginmedia I have a complaint regarding staff behaviour. Can someone help

• 
  Jenny_Edwards CBE (@Jenny_Edwards) reported 8 minutes ago from Enfield Lock, England

  @virginmedia Well resetting gets if going again but the cut outs keep happening. I'll try ringing later but shortage of staff to help is likely to still be an issue

  You lot taking the mick? How long is it taking to fix this no TV issue. @virginmedia

  @virginmedia I lost all services yesterday, without warning. The automated message advised that the fault would be fixed by today! I had to go through numerous teams before I could finally get to speak to someone. This same customer support agent was supposed to call me today once the fault

  If there’s a company whose ‘welcome to…’ message when you call them is more hollow and meaningless than @virginmedia I’d be surprised. The depth of their customer ‘service’ crapness must be witnessed to be believed. Expect that to witness it is to lose years off your life.

  @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 25 minutes ago from Romford, England

  On phone to @virginmedia for 55 mins to cancel, speak to 4 different people about a mis-sold service and then when I ask them to produce my contract they hang up. Not happy.

  Maz 💙 (@marionmurray13) reported 26 minutes ago from Enfield Lock, England

  @virginmedia Was fixed to discuss how I put a complaint in for compensation but guess what ?? I received no call.

  Jeremy Naylor (@JeremyNaylorTV) reported 28 minutes ago from Enfield Lock, England

  Just left @virginmedia after 20+years (was originally Cable London) sad but poor service, high price and poor broadband making it an easy decision to return to BT. #virginmedia #poorbroadbandservice

  When will virgin media ever get it right? Almost every week there is a outage. Well overpriced as well.

  amanda (@amanda11350524) reported 44 minutes ago from Ilford, England

  @LutzSchueler as CEO of @virgin media i have now been waiting for a call back since the beginning of June despite assurances my billing/package complaint has been escalated and I would receive a manager call back. I have heard and received NOTHING.

  Debbs Durston (@DEDNaive) reported 45 minutes ago from Enfield Lock, England

  @virginmedia Congratulations on improving my service..AND making it worse!! Mind you seeing all the complaining tweets, I should not be surprised. #BetterConnected or not!

  Jim Thompson (Thompson Promotions) (@Bambarumba) reported 51 minutes ago from Harlow, England

  @woodcuttersson @virginmedia I’m having the same issues in getting through to anyone. My fault isn’t even connected to this outage so is even more frustrating that I can’t get through to anyone!! 🤬🤬🤬

  Andrew Colman (@scuttyoftheyard) reported 52 minutes ago from Ilford, England

  @virginmedia Seems like the whole area is down. Normally you warn me if works are planned, but not this time.

• 
  Paul Moston (@Mostons) reported 54 minutes ago from Enfield Lock, England

  @virginmedia Fastest UK broadband. That’s a maybe, but what you fail to say is that you will suffer regular outage and won’t be able to work. But that’s ok because you’ll pay £16 compensation for hours of lost production.

  Wesley Hammer ⚒️ (@CouchPotatoUK) reported 57 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia for a media company that sells amazing broadband, your website is terrible. Just goes in circles, doesn't let you change packages online. Terrible.

  @virginmedia Intermittent signal again in ML5 area again this is shocking there clearly an issue some where that is not getting fixed its happening every week.

• 
  keith addy (@ads913) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I understand they're introductory, but the gap is £51/month for the identical package. That's not a normal "new customer discount" that's a loyalty penalty. What can you actually offer me?

• 
  🇬🇧Byron Frog 🇬🇧 (@BFrog86370) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have to say your customer service is absolutely pathetic and one of the worst I’ve ever had the misfortune to have to deal with. Almost 2 weeks since installation and it’s still not all working

• 
  Man in Black 2125 (@In2125) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia yeah did that. it says all fine. no issues .... yet a quick scan of social media ( not using virgin broadband obviously, reveals there's an outage in my area .... perhaps you should move your status checker to another provider? It's going to 24 hours apparently. great service

• 
  Murdocke (@murdocke) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia your broadband has gotten noticeably bad these last few years, you used to be impeccable but now there’s always some fault you can’t fix and it gets pushed back again and again. ******** has happened to you? Your engineers lately are ******* shite. (Customer for 25 years)

• 
  Nick Poole (@nrpoole) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I can't log into my a/c. I know my email address but, when entered, I reach a page saying that there has been a 'quick pause to keep my account safe' followed by some unhelpful suggestions and a reference: IDF-12B. The help & bot are useless. Can you help, please?

• 
  Arron Clinkscales (@Clinkyboy67) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 2: you contact Virgin through their App and they tell you it will take another 4 or 5 days for an engineer to "visit" when you have nowt !!! You raise a complaint to be told a manager will get back to you within 24 /48 HOUR Please share this with @virginmedia

  Everyone'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. 📡

  @RichardLXXII @virginmedia This is Virgin all over….. advertising £22 and charging nearly £60 to a valued customer……that’s how much you are valued.
