Virgin chat operator promised Wifi Pod - still not arrived

I have a VM Volt M250 with Wifi guarantee account and I am entitled to 3 wifi pods if necessary.

I have one pod already but still require a second as I only have a 18mbps connection in one room. This is measured using the VM app on my phone.

The app will not alow you to order a second pod.

i contacted VM using the online chat (please check transcript) having measured the speed using the app as advised by VM and was told I would be sent a second pod in the following 5 days.

Nothing has arrived and no communication received, this was several weeks ago.

Please advise me as to when I can expect the second wifi pod

If it helps - I know you said several weeks - but I ordered one at the weekend and was told it might be between 72 hours and 14 days! However, when I looked on the "orders and appointments" section on the My Virgin Media app earlier I saw that I have an equipment order scheduled for delivery at the weekend, so it might be worth checking there.

Hi Bozzaman 👋🏼.

Thank you for posting and welcoming you back onto our community forum 😊.

Since Tuesday was you able to order another Pod? 

Let us know how you are getting on.

Bozzaman?

Aside from the poor grammar and incorrect name spelling how is this reply helpful in anyway.

Surely you should know how I am getting on as you are sorting the issue out for me.

Thanks Andy, it turns out that despite assurances from the webchat operator that I would receive a second pod, they hadn't bothered placing an order for one after the chat.

Hey @Bezzaman 👋🏼 Thanks for the reply.

I've had a look on my end and we can see the 2nd pod has arrived and has been installed.
May I ask how the use of the 2nd pod has been, has it improved connection around the house?

Let us know.

Kind regards,
Ilyas.
