Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term.

Ben Evans (@benev91) reported@virginmedia we have been without internet for a week now. Rinsed through mobile data. Fix date apparently (4th date given) now on 3rd June. We have received compensation but an easy fix would’ve been to give us unlimited data on our mobiles (both with o2) for the month.
