Virgin Media Removed Scheduled Internet Blocking

After the latest update, my Virgin Media router no longer supports scheduled internet blocking. I have three children, and this is a serious problem for our family.

The parental controls were already far from perfect. There was no proper flexibility to set a later internet cut-off time for older children and an earlier one for a younger child. But at least scheduled blocking existed and did the basic job. Now Virgin Media has simply removed even that functionality.

At a time when schools and professionals constantly remind parents how important it is to limit children's screen time and manage their internet use, Virgin Media somehow decided that removing a useful parental-control feature was a good idea.

Instead of improving it and allowing separate schedules for different devices or children, they have made the service worse.

I do not want more useless “updates” that remove useful functionality. I want Virgin Media to restore scheduled internet access controls and make them flexible enough to set different schedules for different children and devices.

Removing useful features while continuing to increase prices is not an improvement. It is a step backwards.

Review of Vodafone UK


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I keep seeing Vodafone’s YouTube ads…

I keep seeing Vodafone’s YouTube ads about “One Touch Switch” almost every day, but at my address there has never been — and still isn’t — any option to get Vodafone broadband.

In my area there’s only one provider offering fibre broadband, and they raise prices year after year. With no real competition, customers are stuck.

My suggestion: instead of spending so much on advertising, please invest in expanding coverage so more people can actually choose Vodafone.

I’d genuinely welcome Vodafone at my address — really hope you’ll be available here soon.

Review of Lloyds Bank


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Lloyd's Bank now decides for you…

Lloyd's Bank now decides for you whether a transaction is a scam or not. Even though I went through a 30-minute interview, a phone call, and stated that I initiated the payment, no one asked or offered to make such a transfer (I have reasons to make this transfer). They blocked the payment for 24 hours, ruined my mood, and stole almost half a day of stress. And for what? Tomorrow I'll be calling support again and demanding the payment be processed. Disgusting. Other banks don't have such a stupid and intrusive system, and I'm grateful for that.

Payment link issue

I ve recenly started using Tide payment links instead Stripe due to chiper fees, but one of the my clients could not pay , i informed tide support team but did not receive response for a few days so the client paid as usual via Stripe :(
Everything else was fine

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Denys. We know how important it is to have payment links working smoothly - losing time and a payment isn’t something you should deal with. We know that delayed support can make things worse, and we understand the impact.

We’ll review this internally based on the available information that we have to avoid it happening again.

Review of Revolut


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Return credited money to customers without any reasons

My customer paid money to my Revolut Business account, Revolut credited account and after that returned payment to customer. I spent 2 weeks, but did not get any reasonable comments. I received message that sender did not specified their address but It is not true due to SWIFT message provided by customer, nobody wants to discover problem and make me happy. Also Revolut has problem with providing Merchant Services, I am waiting for a few month ...
