  @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

• 
  Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported 5 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia you must have the most unreliable internet service in the UK. Several times a year it goes down for a full working day. Again today, "Unplanned Outage" yet your van was here within seconds. Unplanned my arse. Compensate my loss of earnings! #poorService

  Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported 8 minutes ago from Dewsbury, England

  @virginmedia well done 👏🏽 new way of resolving complaints! Offer a resolution that you know customer won’t accept so you can pass on to an adjudicator… all in a record time of 8mins!!!

  @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

  Terry Hague (@TezzaBelle88) reported 22 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  Anyone else’s @virginmedia WiFi down ?Mines been down nearly 24 hrs 🥲

  Martin Spiers (@martinaspiers) reported 22 minutes ago from Oughtibridge, England

  @virginmedia That would appear only to relate to your services? I'm not a customer (except via 02).

  GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported 23 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

• 
  Marc Riley (@Sheffield_Boy) reported 25 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?

• 
  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 30 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

  Gary Fretwell (@GaryFretwell1) reported 31 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I appreciate your advice, but rather than ask fellow customers for a fix I’d rather hope @virginmedia trained staff would be able to rectify this issue. I’ll try the forum, but this is not the way to run a business….@Ofcom

  lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported 35 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @alisonclay71 @virginmedia They’re the worst. I was a customer for over 10 years and moved house recently. They refused to move the service to my new house. Incredibly poor service. Also, be prepared for them to chase you constantly to return their kit or they’ll charge you for it!

• 
  ClassicKatyy ✌️ (@ClassicKatyy) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @PaulMcDade7 All your self service checker tells me is it can't connect to the kit in my house, because there's no internet. What's the ETA on a fix?

  @virginmedia @Ash_GW The most useless customer services ever. Just a bot reply

  Dr Laura Jenkins (@LauraJks2015) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hi. How do I find out how long an outage is going to be? WiFi is currently off and I’ve reset everything so I’m guessing it’s a network issue.

  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. 📡

  @virginmedia My email account has been locked since last Thursday 11 June. I am an award winning journalist. This has totally disrupted my work. Your customer services raised a ticket P0136 01850 on Saturday to get it unlocked. Nothing has been done. Over to you.
