Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported from Beechwood, Wales@virginmedia I get your bills, that is how I realised as a loyal customer I am paying £40 plus a month for Internet access only.

Graham Findlay FRSA 🏴🇪🇺 (@FindlayEquality) reported from Cathays, Wales@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.
