Repull Woes. How can i get this sorted?

We are doing some construction and need the external virgin box moving. I phoned up 10/01/23 and described the job in detail about how they would probably need more than a regular technician. They made me an appointment for the 17th.

On the 17th the guy came out, and he instantly said it needs a repull team, just as i had said on the phone originally. Repull team was booked for 3 weeks later on the 1st feb.

1st of feb comes and nobody turns up, with zero communication about it. I phoned up that night and was told i should get an email within 24 hours with a new appointment that would be within 48 hours. No email arrived within 24 hours. I then noticed on my account a new appointment for the 16th of feb, another 2 weeks later.

I have called up today a couple of times. First time they put me through to a construction team who were not customer facing and couldnt help. Second time they put me through to a field support team who also said they cannot help.

I cannot wait yet another 2 weeks as it is blocking all work on the construction and costing me a small fortune as ive had to postpone work numerous times waiting for virgin and the third parties.

I have zero confidence that they will even show up on the 16th.

Does anyone know how i get through to someone  that can actually do something to help me? I go in circles with foreign call centres.

Re-pulls, pre-pull, pre-installation, they're all the same activity to VM.  And unfortunately your experience is not uncommon.

Hi Jimlad73, thanks for the message and welcome back to the forums. 

I am sorry to hear that there has been a delay and our construction team will aim to have this resolved as soon as they can. 

Can you let us know how it goes on the 16th and if you are still having issues following this date.

Kind regards, Chris.

Re: Repull Woes. How can i get this sorted?

Well they have been!!! and relocated my box!!!

Problem now is they disconnected the old one so im left with no internet connection.

Ive logged this on the website and its booked me a "Fault" technician appointment for saturday.

This leaves me without internet for 2 working days and i work from home. Not ideal!!!

Is there any way of getting an earlier appointment?

Finally we are back online. They came out on wednesday and moved the outside box, leaving us with no internet for 3 days before the virgin tech came to reconnect to the new box.

This whole fiasco has been terrible from start to finish.
