It is possible verification fails to complete because your network's public IP Address has been blacklisted by Virgin Media and / or Spamhaus. To see if this is the case:

  • does the issue occur when using another network?
  • whilst connected to the network on which the issue occurs try the following:
    a) browse to https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ip&ia=answer and note the Your IP address is value
    b) go to https://www.spamhaus.org/lookup/
    c ) enter the Your IP address is value, from step a, in the Search single IP, domain or hash field and select Lookup
    d) if issues are reported then follow the advice offered
