Hi Forum Team,
I ordered my broadband package back on 18 April and was supposed to have it installed last week. I just got a series of emails and text messages saying that this is being pushed back.
The last email says my installation date is now in early July - delayed by 6 weeks.
Is anyone able to check the reason behind this?
Many thanks,
J

Hi,
I've had the exact same issue! Almost down to the exact same timeline!
I've spoken to Virgin Media Customer Services and they've said that it's because of construction work required in my road (even though our neighbours all use Virgin Media including our landlord!)
It might be worth calling them to see if there are any notes on your account and if there's anything they can do in the meantime.
Good luck!

Hi Hayley,
I just spoke to the construction team's support desk on 03330005925
They're saying that the footpath (and maybe the road) outside the house needs to be dug up (approx. 3m in length) to install a cable tee.
Fingers crossed this work can actually take place as promised.

Is anyone able to give a rough idea of when I can expect to see a phone icon on the map at https://one.network/ ?

Depends on the council. Some put literally everything on there, some just the bigger work.
