I am at my wits' end right now... Virgin Media, came, TWICE (six months ago also where the entire street had earthquakes for minutes...! !), like a rotten squirrel in the corner of the flat I live in, like some sort sanctioned burglary... WHY?! They just bring in diggers and jackhammers and I cannot bear anymore. I literally feel my sanity dripping away as if every single molecule of noise destroys the very fibres of rational existence.

And, just for the heck of it I found out that it is one of the worst rated companies https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.virginmedia.com ... why am I being helplessly tortured by some stupid people who cannot even score a 1?

Someone tell me what, if anything, I can possibly do... even tried to phone to complain... but who would have known that it is a labyrinthine torture in itself.

(And yes, I attempted to block it while writing this, as noise usually has such an effect that words are hard to come by, but there is NOTHING in the whole wide world that could block a digger that shakes worlds if it's used (so far hammering and minor drilling, but I'm still resorting to throwing bottles at them...)

Why did Virgin Media visit twice, or why were Virgin Media in the corner of your flat?

1) They probably visited twice in order to fix a problem that wasn't fully resolved first time. Or to deal with a new issue on their second visit.

2) Why are they in the corner of your room? I doubt they are. That's a bit weird. Or do you mean you are in the corner of the flat? I don't know why you are doing this. You could utilise the space within the entire flat. Being only in the corner seems silly.

You aren't being tortured, as their intention isn't to inflict pain on you for the purposes of eliciting information.

Buy industrial ear defenders.

Trying to phone is difficult? Pick up the phone and dial the correct number.

Ear defenders will lessen the noise, but not the vibrations you're feeling.

May I suggest you go a walk.

I'd advise against doing so. Throwing bottles is potentially an assault charge, were they to phone the police on you.
