  @virginmedia any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

  After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

  @virginmedia All of our WiFi appliances stopped working at the exact same time. The WiFi keeps trying to connect but just whirls and whirls. No issues with our appliances

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 12 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

  @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have also been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

  @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 I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 30 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  @virginmedia I performed the reset, it still does not recognise the code. Very disappointed. On Wednesday I wasted 3 hours on the phone talking to 13 of your people one of whom brazenly told me to fix all issues I must buy an upgrade. I am sorry to say the whole experience is abysmal 💔

  Funny ain’t it after 25 years with Virgin Media I’ve decided to part ways and they have given me a UK no to ring and that they are able to nearly price match youfibre. I told them their Cust service is really bad and that’s the main reason I’m off. 👋👋👋

  (Re)Search & Destroy (@TruthAsylum121) reported 13 minutes ago

  THREAD 5 — VODAFONE, BT AND THE TELECOMS NETWORK The French side is only part of the story. In Britain, telecommunications companies have developed programmes providing connectivity through charities and other organisations supporting people experiencing digital exclusion. Vodafone is one of the clearest examples. Its charities.connected programme provides participating charities with SIM cards carrying data, calls and texts. Vodafone has documented the scheme being used by organisations supporting refugees and asylum seekers. Then there is BT. This is different because it isn’t a charitable donation. In March 2024, the Home Office awarded BT a £528,000 contract for data-only SIM cards for asylum seekers. The contract was procured by the Home Office team responsible for asylum support, resettlement and non-detained accommodation. And this is only part of the corporate network. Virgin Media O2 is involved in the National Databank, Community Calling and technology-lending programmes. Three is another major National Databank connectivity partner. The technology companies aren’t operating in isolation. They connect into a much wider system. And that brings us to the National Databank.
