Not general complaints, exec complaints.
My currently logged complaint is no longer visible in my account, one dept told me it doesn't exist, another can see it but doesn't know what is written on it means.
Spent hours on whatsapp chat , calling numbers, being passed around departments , getting hung up on.

Hi @martynh99
Thank you for your post and welcome to our community.
I am sorry to hear about the delay with the installation.
I can see from your post you have been advised the installed has been delayed until 10/3.
For a delay of that length, this suggest construction work is required to service the property.
This typically takes 6 to 8 weeks. This can require council permits/ temporary lights etc dependant on the job which contributes to the time scale provided.
Did the team advise that construction work was needed?
Please pop back to us when you can.

Thank you for reaching out and I am sorry you wasn't told about this.
Even if this is the case we would still need permission from the local council to bring this to the property we understand it is frustrating and I am sorry about this.
I am sure the sure team will be trying to get installed as soon as they can. Thanks

Well i got a response to my complaint, the one that was complaining about the support teams being unable to tell me what the delay was, getting passed from dept to dept with no progress, and being cut off at times
Their solution, ring the support number !!!

Looking carefully at the quality of the responses of the VM Complaints Team I have concluded that they must be using the Yoda Destiny Decider to arrive at their outcomes and inform their style guide.

We truly apologise for this experience @martynh99.
Sometimes due to construction issues and issues with third-party contractors, there may be delays in installation. We would advise contacting our pre-installation team on 0800 052 1734 who have the best systems to be able to help.
Thanks,

Spoke to pre-installations team on Friday, they tried putting me through to another team(didn't tell me the name) but said they would speak to them in advance of transferring me and they would be able to sort it all out for me.
Who did they put me through to ? The tech support team - and they told me not to worry, i would be connected within 48 hours , if i'm not then call back in !
I remained a VM customer as I was told my new home was in a cabled street and service would be provided within 3 weeks, that was 4 weeks ago and i've still got another 5 weeks it seems.

Thanks for the reply @martynh99 on the forums.
An external construction job will not show up on the MyVM app.
May I ask if anyone has been recently for this issue?
Kind regards,
Ilyas.
