Virgin Media has been fined £23.8 million by Ofcom after putting thousands of vulnerable customers at “direct risk of harm” when moving them to digital landlines.

A number of serious incidents took place when Virgin was upgrading its customers’ home phone services in November and December 2023, the media and communications watchdog said.
