Delayed installation and fed lied.

Brief summary of my Torrid experience with VM. 
I requested a move date on 23/1/25. The installation was booked in for 30/1/25. I specifically told VM the engineer needs to call me on arrival as there is no doorbell due to no internet. After waiting at home all day I see a note in the letter box saying they’ve missed us. 
Installation was then rearranged to 5/2/25. 
The engineer came and said there is no cable and a pre pull is needed. Rearranged to 19/2/25. 
I called VM the following day (6/2/25) and was told the pre pull was happening that day. 
I called back on 7/2/25 and was told the pre pull was happening that day. 
I called on 8/2/25 and was told the same thing. 
after raising a complaint and more phone calls everyday from 11/2/25 to 14/2/25 and having been told it’s been approved by the council, and another person telling me it’s not approved, and another person telling me I don’t need to call everyday. Installation was then changed to 13/3/25. 
Still no sign of anything. Yesterday i got an email saying it’s changed to the 27th of March. 
Every time I call I get told Pre pull is happening that day. I get told it won’t be long. I get told lies about the work has started (like I can’t just go look outside my window to see if there’s any work going on) 

I have zero faith in VM actually sticking to any dates they give. 
I even asked to cancel my contract with them and they had the audacity to say I need to pay a fee even though I’ve been without service for 2 months. 
Absolute joke and nobody can actually give me an answer as to when I will have service. 

  • Hello Anonymous25.

    Thanks for your first post and welcome to our community.
    Sorry to hear you're having an issue with your prepull date and the information being given by our customer service team.
    Pre pulls are always booked for the same day and carried out by a contractor. If they can't make it for any reason, it then gets booked in for the next day and so on.

    I would like to take a look anyway and get you the correct information.
    If you don't mind, I'll need to send you a private message to pass security. 
    If you can check the envelope at the top right of your screen, that would be great.
