ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reportedWhat rude people they are @virginmedia Was on the phone, finally someone will collect the old modem. However, I will be cancelling my tv and landline services. Will keep VM broadband until such time as I can source a suitable alternative. Disconnection fee to pay.
