Yep that’s about the truth of it, but consider it from VM’s perspective, you are no longer a customer and hence presumably aren’t paying them anything, so why would they expend money on sending someone to your house to remove equipment, when they will never be recompensed for it?
Furthemore, as ‘nodrodg’ mentions, if they were to do this, and you or a future occupant, were to want VM services, then they need to spend extra money, reinstating what they have already removed!
Bottom line, this won’t happen, you are no longer a VM customer, they have absolutely no ‘duty of care’ about your installation, unless you can show that what they have installed is a definite health and safety issue, although you may need to show that this has only become an issue since you left.
OK, now all of the above does sound very negative no, and sounding like I am siding with VM? In fact what I’m trying to get across is the reality of the situation. The chances of getting a VM tech out to remove this is virtually zero, it won’t happen, they have no obligation to, nor incentive to do so, in fact the exact opposite!
So, it leaves it up to you, what is the implication of you simply removing is all yourself? Actually none whatsoever! Cut cut away and remove all of the boxes inside your house, similarly you could just cut the coax cable at the boundary of your property, and remove everything from your side of it - you might want to find a convenient skip to dump it all into.
Now, there may well be responses on here along the lines of ‘doing this might introduce interference into the system and affect neighbours connections and you will be liable for this….’ Technically this is true, the interference part, not the liability issue, of course if VM’s systems are so fragile that you removing unwanted equipment on your property, causes issue for others, then that’s probably VM’s problem, not yours!
