No VM wall socket

[emjwallace]

Hello! I had quick start broadband delivered today after being told our new property could receive VM but when we’ve gone to instal realised there is no wall socket just an open reach one and one next to this one but the VM cable does not fit it either. Can anyone help or know how long it takes to get installed?

Have you checked to make sure there is no other kind of connection? Sometimes there is no wall box, just a trailing cable. The cable could be hidden within, or behind, furniture. Occasionally only a very short stub of wire is left behind often hidden within a blanked-off fitting. A couple of past examples are below

The wall box may be branded with the logos of an old cable TV company (not VM). Past occupiers of your property may have removed the cable and sometimes they are removed by other installers, such as satellite TV techs.

If you have a plastic omnibox outside on the wall (where the VM cable comes in from the street) see if you can trace any wires from that into your home.

If no luck, call the number above for a tech installation.
