parody of a parody of a parody of nothing (@emnm69backup) reportedHey @virginmedia Why are there constant broadband issues in the fy4 area? Regular cut offs. At least half a dozen times so far this month. Contract to soon, so maybe time to switch if you can't provide a reliable service. Ps,your chat bot is also as useless as your broadband.
