Brian Penhand (@BrianPenhand) reported@virginmedia Utter shambles of a company. Nobody will be compensated for this. The service status page is mysteriously down too. I'll be swapping services as soon as I am able.
-
Carl Cavell (@Blue_Cav) reported@virginmedia Been a while now, to get compensation for lack of service you need to inform you. Yet ironically the website doesn't recognise customer accounts. Might tell Alainis Morrisette now.
