  • REDROBB1967 ROB FARACE (@REDROBB1967) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Never spoke to someone it was a chatbot. So no real confidence that tomorrow will be different. Disappointing to see it has to happen twice before you look at maybe seeing if you can help. Would be nice to know someone was looking into it now so it was guaranteed for tomorrow.

  • larrybudd1 Larry Budd (@larrybudd1) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Done that. And the online one. No problems according to that.

  • REDROBB1967 ROB FARACE (@REDROBB1967) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Thanks but yodal have just brushed me off & after being online for an hour with their web chat so it is being delivered tomorrow & I have to wait in again. Really poor experience & they are not doing you any favours. Have no confidence in them or that anyone actually came today
