New WiFi installation

I’ve just received my virgin internet hub. I have sky Q but the sky internet was so bad I’ve just changed my broadband supplier. I’ve received the hub but there is no where to plug it in? I’ve gone to the old van set up as I had it years ago but the 2 black cables coming out of it are now being used in the main sky Q box and the internet connector is totally different so no idea where to plug in

    You will only have been sent a QuickStart pack if the premises previously had VM. The box and cables may have been removed by the previous occupiers. There should be an omnibox, often brown or gray, on the outside of the premises, try tracing the cable/s from it. If no luck call the pre-installs team on 0800 052 1734 8AM- 9PM Monday - Friday or 8AM-6PM Saturday and Sunday

      I had vm previously they are the boxes I used. I found a connection upstairs where the other vm tv box was and the new hub fits. However after setting up and connecting to WiFi there is no internet coming through the hub. VM have now booked an engineer for Monday. Thanks
