Stu Plays XD 🎮 (@StuPlaysXD) reported@virginmedia honestly hindsight is great because if I had just waited I wouldn’t of gone with yourself as a provider. £90 a month for constant drops in internet / tv. Your stream box is useless. Massive thumbs down 👎 would not recommend. Should of just renewed with @skytv 👍
-
Donna Tudor (@donna2904) reported@keithapearson @virginmedia Couldn’t agree more. I’ve spent roughly 6 hours on chat talking to foreign robots and got nowhere. They should be fined for not having a uk call centre. I’ve gave my 30 days notice after 19 years as a customer. They’re a disgrace.
