@virginmedia And they've cut me off after 1 hour 2 minutes and 59 second. In the words of Pop Larkin: 'Perfick'! I would say that I hear BT calling but that presupposes that I can get through to you lot to terminate my contract. @virginmedia #hopeless

@virginmedia Yes. It's the actual box. Sounds like the hard disk. Checks have been run your end. Am now waiting on mobile. On hold for 52 minutes so far, having been cut off 3 times in attempt to get that far. The music is terrible and I'm going slightly insane. Not my ideal Fri night!

(@Molevintage) reported
@virginmedia So our account is saying "access denied" which implies there's some sort of block on our account rather than an engineer-related issue. Our bills are all paid so not sure why this is happening. Pls can someone help?! I can't do any work because of this.
