Doesn't help that I work where people under 18 come to get benefits.

A word of warning with VM...... I had VM since 2003. We've just moved house last Friday and I left 1No.HD box and a 1No.standard box in the old house as it was no use to us in the area we've moved to. So I get a call from a man in a van from VM yesterday saying I'm just popping round to pick up your old equipment. I explained I have moved house and left the old equipment there. He said VM are likely to charge me for not returning the equipement circa £ 250?  :angry:

Anyway I've phoned my estate agent who is contacting the buyer of my house and hopefully I can collect the old equipment becuase there is no way I'm handing them over £250-00.

Now I've paid monthly for the for the best broadband package, telephone package & TV package with VM since 2003 untill this month. I was spending roughly £150-00 a month with VM so that works out to approx £14K spent from 2003 - 2011  :sick:. Ummm and then they chase you and want to charge you £ 250 you for not returning the old set top boxes back which are probably no use to anyone else.... Its a frigging cheek if you ask me!!  :angry:

I'm with Virgin Media.

They're sh!t.

sh!t customer service, we're trying to get hold of someone who understands english to get an issue sorted out and all we ever get it passed from pillar to c**t and then to post.

This happens EVERY time we need to contact them.

I'm thinking of ditching them.

I'd never reccomend using them and would never use them again.

f**king incompetent twits.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

Probably got a VPN to the main office or something similar. Nuts to sending all data over the WAN link like that unless it's for security reasons they control in France...

Wet piece of string under the channel?
