  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

  • telboy1968 Telboy (@telboy1968) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, but your last update was at 13.00pm with an estimated fix of "this afternoon". Its now 18.00pm with no update. Can Virgin Media let their paying customers know the situation?. This is not a free service. We pay for this, so want to know what is happening in "real time"
