Received self install and no wall socket

We received our self install WiFi from virgin media yesterday but we do not have a virgin media wall socket.

We have tried to contact virgin media 4 times now with each time ending in ‘they’ll call us back in 1-2 hours to solve the issue’

No one has contacted us and we just need someone to fit a wall socket for us

not all installs have an internal box

start outside and look for the external wall box - 6" square ish usually on wall facing road or pavement - brown or grey usually - follow any cables that come from it and go inside - if there are non look inside opposite external box as they may just have drilled through wall - as said it may just be a cable rather than an internal wall box

if you find a cable you need one of these to attach the cable that came with the quick start kit
