Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England@virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

iWalkOutdoors (@iWalkOutdoors) reported@jollyjapes Zero. Never have in the full 15yrs of trading. Don’t know how much a van costs? You think there’s enough left for dividends? Perhaps you’re mistaking me & my biz for a CEO of BP or a regional manager of VirginMedia. I bloomin live on a housing estate with other working ppl.

Andy Rossiter (@andy_rossiter76) reported@virginmedia Who's bright idea was it to switch landline phones over to digital optic ?? We have the landline in the livingroom, but the internet hub is in the bedroom. Also when the internet goes down, will this mean the phone goes down too ??

Lynne Devlin (@lynne_devlin) reported@virginmedia Absolutely appalled at the incompetent awful level of service. Over 3 hours on live chat trying to sort out my 96 year old grandmother contract as you are trying to charge her an obscene amount of money and I am no further forward.
