    Anyone in North Tyneside struggling with @virginmedia?? Or is it just me? Keep losing signal and the TiVo box keeps rebooting. Had to abandon the National League final and now Gillian Anderson getting fruit in Room 203 of the Hilton Hotel Belstaff ...

  • HiraethX Hiraeth PhD 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@HiraethX) reported

    @virginmedia The new customer was recommended to you by me ... they contacted you because of my referral. Being a bit absent minded referral details were omitted... as a new customer it's unfortunate for him to miss he offer.

    @virginmedia What a load of shite your Wifi is. Paying for 500mbps and getting nowhere near. 100+ complaints later and still nothing. Definitely going to start looking else where. Sick of 'Drop us a DM' and then do **** all about it.
