RosieGee (@pixiero79) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia Trying to work from home with an internet connection regularly dropping out is a nightmare.

He's been without service since July and they said the issue would be resolved on 21st aug. ive been away and it's still not fixed. It looks like an issue with the box to me as a layman

(Re)Search & Destroy (@TruthAsylum121) reportedTHREAD 8 — THE DEVICES Connectivity is only useful if people have something to connect. This takes us to Solidaritech in Bradford. The organisation was established in 2017 to refurbish unwanted technology and provide it to refugees and asylum seekers. It works with laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones. The cumulative figure is now more than 5,000 devices since 2017. But that isn’t simply historical. Solidaritech is still operating. In 2025, Bechtle partnered with Solidaritech to repurpose 857 devices, including phones, laptops, PCs and tablets, which were donated to asylum seekers and refugees. Then there is Migrant Help. Through Community Calling, smartphones and free data have been provided specifically for asylum seekers and survivors of trafficking and modern slavery. Virgin Media O2 reported that Migrant Help had received 1,250 devices and free data, with a further 5,000 devices planned. Screen Share UK also received funding to provide devices, connectivity and repair training to refugees and asylum seekers. Its trainees then repaired and redistributed devices to other refugees. The device itself has therefore become part of an ongoing system. Technology is collected. It is refurbished. It is connected. It is distributed. And sometimes the recipient is taught how to repair the next device.

Scouse House Bouncy Music (@ScouseBouncy) reported@virginmedia This issue has been around for over 2 weeks, your CS staff are telling customers including staff members there is no issue and "just swap out to the stream boxes" which does not fix the problem! Between Virgin and @skytv there should be a months bill reimbursed for each issue!!
-
Mike Bennett (@AthleticFanMike) reported@Charltonater @skytv I was with Virgin Media before they put my price up by £100. I wish I had just paid it. I have not used my Sky Stream since Friday I am fed up with having to reset it every 20 mins. Just using the Apps on my smart TV now. I’m going to cancel the contract.
-
Caroline (@finn33) reported@virginmedia And it’s gone down. Again. Are you actually kidding me. What is this lunch time and virgin stops supplying broadband. How hard is this. Get it sorted. I’ve done all the trouble shooting and I’ve paid my bills. Jesus wept. I pay enough. Sort it out.
