Cable repull but no shows

Counsel roadworks was happening when this all started a few days ago there where drilling and my internet stopped working I did all the test even had a engineer come to the house to check inside and he even confirmed the cable has been cut.

Now after the few days I'm waiting each day as I'm told a engineer is coming to do a cable repull but I'm waiting and watching with no show engineer each day no updates just left in the dark. Having to call customer service use what little data I have to get though the checks only for them to submit the form to the sub contractors for a rebook that doesn't show or contact me.

I'm disable with a heart condition my tracker needs internet to alert emergency service if something where to happen I have also lost work from this as I'm commission based. This has left me very upset and angry

    Unfortunately you are a victim of the somewhat dysfunctional relationship between VM and its cabling sub-contractors.

    Make sure you are keeping detailed notes of everything that happens and all of VM's failures to fix as you should be eligible for compensation for the outage

    In the meantime, and if you are losing work, consider getting some sort of mobile connectivity on a rolling contract, such as a hotspot device or data SIM, until VM reconnects you.
