  • SteveMowat4
    Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @bristolbluegas @virginmedia @HiveHelper If someone could own a problem it would help. The engineer that came out today said, I just install hubs mate, I’m not authorised to lift man hole covers. Virgin told me yesterday this would be their “priority technician” that could fix everything. What a joke

    @virginmedia When will the website be fixed? It has been broken for weeks, ever since you “improved” it.

    @rwilliams1947 @virginmedia It seems VM are also messing up landlines too. They now need to connect the phone cable to the Wi-Fi hub . Which means lots of trouble in my house and many other properties across the UK. And good luck with trying to discontinue their contract - they make it very difficult.

    @virginmedia you keep bombarding me with email about upgrading WiFi box and TV box for free . My question is if you're posting it which delivery service do you use , as som are more reliable than others and some I won't use due to things going missing in the past
