Re: Outside cable replacement

If it’s the cable from the omnibox to the internal box it’s an easy job. If it’s the cable from the omnibox to the street box it’s much more problematic. There will probably be a fee of £25.

The primary place to report faults or for service requests is Customer Services on 0345 454 1111/150 if you have a VM landline or wait two or three days for a VM staff member to get to your post.

Hey looby76, thank you for reaching out and I am so sorry to see your cable is damaged.

Did you manage to give the team a ring and get this sorted out yet?

If not please do let us know and I would be happy to help. Thanks
