DENIM 🏴 🇺🇸 (@denimscott) reported@TheWho87 @virginmedia We done the same. Said something about "five days" on the packaging, but dismissed it. Within the week, box went down, so had to start using the new remote, thereby losing everything, including some much-looked at sport from the "deleted" file. That file is non-existent now.
-
Tilal Manzoor (@tilalx) reported@virginmedia Another day, another excuse from your service team. I message them and they have say nobody is coming: "I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused. As I checked, the appointment was not attended due to technician unavailability."
