Alexandrian (@ItsAlexandrian) reported@MrCraiggy @virginmedia Ooof, not good. It's weird that the speedtest auto-connecting you to a data centre in Dublin. Which speed tester service are you using?

lucy (@lucia1806) reported@virginmedia Just to follow on I have informed your Customer Service Team that if this does not get done to the correct standard we will going elsewhere. Its gone on long enough. Poor Service and poor Internet. Incidentally I spoke to a very rude unhelpful lady in your CS today. Very rude.

-
Our Family Blog (@TheLifeIShare) reported@virginmedia So who do we contact to get this sorted please? Your general customer service line was useless?
