Ha ha ha ha ha
Nothing works, not even BBC or ITV How will they explain this, VM will be slaughtered in the press if the outage lasts any more than 30 minutes - an hour. I feel this may be the final straw for a lot of customers, after everything that has happened in 2007. Is the outage only Ex-NTL? |
