  • MichaelGagaHale Michael Gaga-Hale (@MichaelGagaHale) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Now its 1600 tomorrow. Pathetic really, no explication for the fault or reason for delaying fix time.

  • jimaxyn Jimmy Regan (@jimaxyn) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to the team, they will arrange a repayment, my issue is that when you want the money, even if it's on the wrong day, you get it instantly, when I demand a refund it's 4-5 business days and that means I incur charges due to your mistake
