Proposed installation route for fibre cabling

My landlord has requested a proposed installation wiring route for the fibre optic service I ordered for my address (a third-floor flat). Which department is best to contact for this? I couldn't get hold of a human being through the main phone contact or the helpbot.

Thanks in advance.

  • Hopefully this is an indoor route, as VM staff don't work outside above the first floor.

    As you have found, VM don't like talking to customers. The best way forward is probably to place your order for broadband, book an installation date, and give the landlord's plan to the technician when they arrive to do the installation.

      Dear Alessandro,

      Many thanks for this - I just saw your response now. This is what I have ended up doing, and I hope the technician will accept this and talk to the landlord.

      It will be indoors - the pre-installation works for the local area are already done, so I know that the area is suitable for fibre.
