Installation Problems

Joining in

Signed up with Virgin Media in October. First installation date was on the 14th November. Couple lads came day before and put the box outside and set up the wire to the pole.

Next day technician said it can't be done due to there's no green light on the box. Said he would contact his manager to get someone out to sort it. New date was given for 30th November.

Different technician came and he said it can't be done either as there's no signal coming from the pole and he would get his manager to get someone to come out and fix it. 

Since the 30th, on the 3 separate occasions people have been up the pole sorting our wires. However just now the technician has been round even though i didnt even know about the appointment and once again there is no green light on the box so he can't do anything.

Really debating now to cancel it all as i feel like this is going to carry on for a while and each time hopes are ruined.

Capture a permanent record of that original activation date of 14 Nov (screenshot your can save yourself somewhere etc. rather than relaying on online info which has a habit of disappearing or being replaced by VM)

You should start keeping a detailed record of events (dates, times of all calls, messages, texts etc. along with any missed appointments and failed appointments where someone turns up but no work was carried out). Keep the record in a timeline format with links from the timeline to each piece of recorded evidence. This will make it easy for you in the future to put forward a case to arbitration for the correct compensation, should that be necessary.

Hi Corzzeay,

Thank you for reaching out to us in our community and welcome, really sorry to hear your install did not go ahead when expected and that you have had multiple visits but no connection.

I was able to locate you on our system with the details we have for you and it looks like you have spoken to us, have we advised when the install will be going ahead?

Regards

Paul.
