Hi, my name is Norrie59! Why is Virgin media so poor.
Why is Virgin media so poor. Their customer service at this moment is without a doubt the worst I have ever dealt with. I cannot watch services that I asked for and now when I log in all I get is oops?? They are charging me £100 a month for a basic package when I agreed over the phone £70. Any one out there having the same…
