My dog has chewed my coax cable running from the virgin wall box to the virgin media WiFi hub, how do I get a new one installed?

To get it replaced, call it in on 150 (VM Phone - free) or 0345 454 1111 (any other phone - national rate). Calling at 08.00 midweek (09.00 Sun) is the best time to get through quickly. Although some people are still reporting getting through fine at other times with no long waits

If you are lucky there will be no charge - otherwise there will be a £25 no-fault call out charge
