Request for Engineering Intervention: wall socket

luigimorra
Just joined

Hi,

I need an engineering intervention at my address. I’ve received the Virgin Media broadband setup kit, but the cables provided don’t match the wall socket.

I’ve tried calling the pre-installation team on 0800 052 1734 multiple times with no response. I understand the QuickStart pack is sent when VM was previously installed. I checked if any internal boxes, possibly NTL or Telewest, exist, and looked for an external omnibox, but no internal connection point is apparent.

Please assist with this issue.

You can also check for a loose cable as not all properties have a socket. Look outside for a brown or grey VM box on the wall and trace the cable to the inside. If it is a loose cable only, you will need one of these to connect the Quickstart cable. https://www.diy.com/departments/slx-f-type-satellite-cable-coupler/5028422001905_BQ.prd

However, if you wait here a couple of days a VM Mod should pick this up and discuss directly with you.
