Yet another no show, cable re-pull

Counting technicians (do not do the  cable re-pulls) showing up, there has been 8 no shows/cancellations, there has been no apologies or explanations, 3 times have there been appointments moved and only twice has compensation paid but even that was re-billed to me and had to phone for it to be re applied to me. Have made numerous phone calls and I am about ready to change provider.

                  Any help would be gratefully received

    Are you an existing customer with a 'total loss of service' or do you have a partly-working connection and have been told a re-pull is required?

  • I am an existing customer and I have partial services, the re-pull is because of degraded cable and incorrect connection at cabinet. This has been going on for about 7-8 months

    The fact you do not have a TLS means VM will avoid paying the daily rate of compensation they would have to pay if you had totally lost your services.

    As a result they will drag their heels endlessly, particularly so if they have discovered some part of the re-pull is going to be costly.

    Are you in a minimum term period with VM still or can you leave without penalty by giving 30 days notice?

    The fact VM has not done anything to remedy the problem in 7 to 8 months indicates how seriously VM is taking the issue to resolve for you.
