Brown box cover missing

[Harrybamotra]

I have just been on the phone to virgin in regards to my brown outside box cover gone missing. Only to be told it will cost £99 to replace this. I’m sure it shouldn’t cost anything to put a plastic cover back on? Is there any chance I can get some help into how to get this replaced?

Its "faulty" it should be replaced for free. If it isnt the connection could get waterlogged and corrosion could set in and take down multiple customers that will cost VM far more to correct.

Post up a photo of the damaged box here

Call in again and see if you get a CS agent who has had better training. If not - wait here for `a day or two when a more clued in VM person will reply and get it sorted for you - as per......

Hi there,

Further to reading some of the comments, can you tell me how I should go about requesting an external box cover? I have a feeling with the strong winds we have had the cover has been blown off. 

This is leaving the connections inside open to the elements.

I am a virgin media customer

Thanks in advance

Derek
