Moving a router up a floor

Hello helpful folk on the internet

Please can somebody tell me how to actually book a visit from an engineer to come and move my router from the cellar where it currently resides up a floor to the living room?  Also the box on the outside of the wall has literally fallen apart and the wires get a constant rain bashing - this really needs sorting out too.

Many thanks in advance.

    You just call it in on the usual fault line and book a Tech visit to do the move - it will cost £25.  See my older post below

    ______________

    Firstly call it in on the “faults” line - on 150 (VM Phone - free) or 0345 454 1111 (any other phone - national rate). Use option 2 (faults), dont press any other buttons when offered and you should be in the queue for the next agent.
    If you get cut off after an automated reboot cycle, just call back in a couple of minutes as the system should know that you have just been on and it hasn’t helped and put you in the queue.
    
Try now, but calling at 08.00 midweek (09.00 Sun) is the best time to get through quickly at busy/closed times you may get redirected to offshore - hence calling early is best.
    You can text VM on 0753 305 1809 include account name/number and what the issue is, there is also a “Chat” option on their website - but note that replies usually take longer. Or you can speak to the team on WhatsApp by logging into your online account via a mobile handset and there will be a link to speak to VM by Whats App (the number is 0780 3089 684 ) - you can use the same number for their other social media platforms too (TwitX/Fbook. etc) - so try them all.

FINALLY… A VM person will pick this up on here and respond, but it can take a few days for them to get here.
