  @virginmedia is there a problem in Oxford? Video calls on team dreadful, and connection very inconsistent.

  @CSmit77 @virginmedia @richardbranson Whereabouts in Oxford are you, Christian? We had a brief outage this morning, and now we've been out again for half an hour.

  Ian Shepherd (@IanAShepherd) reported 15 minutes ago from Oxfordshire, England

  So @virginmedia seems to have gone down across the whole country simultaneously. Will be interesting to see what the root cause is.

  Dear @virginmedia, our Internet stopped working at 4:50 this evening. Right before my 5pm work video call. Now I cant turn my @HiveHomeUK lights on because your service is still down. Get it sorted would you please.

  @virginmedia your service needs improvement ASAP. Shocking how many times it goes on and off throughout the day.

  @TheO2 and @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog Be careful of this, they say they will send you a free SIM card. First off, it never arrived. Secondly, they rack up a bill baring in mind I’ve not used it. Then put it on your credit rating. So glad my three year contract ends with o2 soon.

  @virginmedia your customer service department still hasn’t done what it said it would. I hope my service is restored tomorrow when your engineer is expected. I somehow doubt it will happen though. Disappointing service. Not what I’m paying for.

  @virginmedia It says no known issues but there plainly are as we have no internet

  Amanda Davies (@AmandaD00131015) reported 33 minutes ago from Oxfordshire, England

  @virginmedia Still not had the courtesy of a phone call 30 days after making 2 complaints. I would NEVER EVER recommend @virginmedia @libertyglobal. I had a box fitted to my house without my permission & hadn’t ordered

  @virginmedia WiFi down all day in Oxford - any idea on a time to fix ?

• 
  movenicely (@movenicely) reported 41 minutes ago from Oxfordshire, England

  @virginmedia the worse customer service I’ve had in a long time. An absolute racket- tv, internet, billing & customer service: all woeful - they allow themselves 28 days to respond to a query & the phone lines are inaccessible - you couldn’t make it up #avoidvirginmedia #crooks

  Michael North (@mickthenorth) reported 43 minutes ago from Oxfordshire, England

  @virginmedia I’ve just got home from work, after leaving home at 7.20 this morning so destined never to have the problem solved. Perhaps I should cancel my direct debit, that way I will have contact in no time!

  @ChloeThomsonYT @virginmedia Internet sounds as bad as their billing!

• 
  Chris Wiltshire (@cbwiltshire72) reported 48 minutes ago from Brackley, England

  @JordanNicholls @virginmedia Good job you don’t need the connection for working and keeping NHS patients safe isn’t it. ... Oh, hang on...!

  RVNS Artik - Marcos (@xArtik) reported 53 minutes ago from Milton Keynes, England

  @DarkDroid__ @Jukeyz @virginmedia I have Hyperoptic and really is the way. Takes literally minutes to get all activated & never had any issues in 8 months with it.

• 
  Liz Anderson RN (@nutritionlizA) reported 55 minutes ago from Aylesbury Vale, England

  Not good enough. As a very dissatisfied @virginmedia customer I find increasing a pensioners tariff without warning shoddy and poor. But then they are not known for good customer care.

• 
  Melisa Soto (@Melyclassy) reported 57 minutes ago from Oxfordshire, England

  @sandraHandscom1 @Bates_No1 @virginmedia I am on the same, worst customer experience ever. It is impossible to get on hold on the phone, they webpage is limited on options to cancel their service. #neveragain

  Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported 59 seconds ago

  @virginmedia I have messaged. I have taken days off on multiple occasions to wait in for engineers to attend. I was assured that due to external works I would not need to be in today, however the issue STILL has not been fixed despite assurances it would be sorted.

• 
  Lord Ryan Mehrabany-Burnett (@Ryanishistory) reported 2 minutes ago

  @virginmedia we are due to have an engineer come out on Monday to look at the new box and remote which you said we had to have and doesn’t work. We have received a text message that if someone over 18 isn’t in, you will fine us £25. Great customer service.

  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 @virginmedia ... I have reached out - many times. And reached my "reaching out" limit. And I'm not sending you personal details on a Twitter/X account . And counting down the 15 months and 3 days I have left with your company.

  @virginmedia Not my account so I can speak you about it. What happens though is, you start a stream and then it corrupts, goes to a black screen and goes to a “Error code: COMPO” then closes. This is not network related, it’s not a box issue. It is an issue with authentication

  @2gurlys1kupp @O2 @virginmedia Aye mate it’s horrible. I complained on live chat and got £30 off my bill. Told me it’s now been fixed but it’s still terrible. Virgin WiFi is just as bad.
