Replacement hub - FLOOD VICTIM

altern8
Tuning in

Holy s$$t, it's easier to contact the dead!!

20 mins going through menu's by phone and still not a living breathing human in sight...

We have been in the middle of the floods in Stapleford and need a new superhub as it was submerged. Can someone PLEASE get back and tell me how to get one. Dealing with insurance and loss adjusters by mobile is a nightmare. Already uploaded 30+ pictures and documents that all had to be tagged correctly.

Thank you

It's best to call at 8am, and report complete loss of service (so you should get automatic compensation). Do not assume that services will resume soon as equipment such as power cabinets, amplfiers and cables could have been damaged. Furthermore VM will most likely want to send a tech round and there is likely to be a long wait for an appointment.

Poor fellow.  You might also need VM to repair all the street cabinets if those have been submerged.

After finally getting through was told 3-5 days delivery. Great news though, only 4 days later I received a router CABLE...

You know if there was an REAL person this side of India you wouldn't have achieved the awesome reputation VM now have. Why does it take many phone calls and time to half sort something, then get replies of 'sorry.....' on this forum?! Because 9 times out of 10 it then gets sorted. I realise it's a strange concept to have a call centre in the country of service these days, but how is the current way a decent business model.
