Hi all,

I've had my 1Gb line installed and it's working well after some noise on the line was removed, the only issue is my techniciation said that as the wifi isn't great towards the back of my property I'd need to ask for a WIFI Pod - have rung the number he gave me but I' losing the will to live on the phone.

Is there a direct way to request a pod - I've had a look at the VM Connect App, nothing and the Website keeps sending me in circles?

Or has anyone written down the correct key presses to either get to the right person, or at least speak to a human?

Cheers for any assistance

Hi @jolly86 

Please try following the instructions <<< here >>> 

If that doesn't work  you can also call by calling 0800 064 3850 to order a pod (they will only send out one at a time, and there must be an interval of at least one week before a second order will be accepted)

Call around 8am if possible when lines first open and are least busy.

They are free if you are on the Gig1 package, or Ultimate Oomph, or on a Volt bundle, however if you are on any other package then they are £8  a month.

A member of the Forum Team may pick this up for you in a day or two.
