Hi I have no service tv , phone,  broadband for 11 days I have called customer care 8 times and every time I am told an engineer or technician will call the next day and no one turns up, I even had a 2 hour WhatsApp text with Raja and was promised that 2 engineers were booked for that afternoon and my issue would be fixed by the end of that day that was 12th. August all I have been told is lies and more lies and when I call tomorrow I will be told more lies, so I am afraid I am at a loss of who I contact or do.

First thing is this...

1) Try the “check service,”Area status webpage" (link at top right of this forum)

2) Then also try the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 - which usually gives the most up to date info. and tells you of more local issues down to street cab/ postcode level.

These may not be listed on the Area Status web page (Areas are not Geographic” they are billing areas) as that usually only covers faults affecting 1000’s of customers) so phone may give you more info, but even that wont cover problems affecting just a few customers - or just you.
The "compensation "timer" can also be started on this number.

If nothing shows on there, try calling it in as a fault (free on 150 VM line - or 0345 454 1111 others - national rate) call at 08.01 if you can and see what they have to say. If they say it’s a known fault, insist and get a fault reference number.

Or, a VM person should pick this thread up and be able to help but it can take a few days.

I do not work for VM. My services: HD TV on VIP (+ Sky Sports & Movies & BT sport), x3 V6 boxes (1 wired, 2 on WiFi) Hub5 in modem mode with Apple Airport Extreme Router +2 Airport Express's & TP-Link Archer C64 WAP. On Volt 350Mbps, Talk Anytime Phone, x2 Mobile SIM only iPhones.

Hi John  the points you make are well received,  on Monday 0f last week 2 chaps nocked on my door to inform me that they were here to run a new cable from the cabinet in the street to my house only to discover the main cable had been damaged by whoever did road repairs 10 days ago.

Many thanks Charlie
