Not a good start

[thebarfly1972]

New install this morning, phone and broadband up and running.

TV however..... can't view any channels despite the update saying channels are being restored in batches following the power outage.  Reason - neither box has been activated.

I hope that VM will not be billing me from today.

There is a national fault affecting TV service - see here

Worse than that, currently on the phone to them.  It appears that they have screwed the order up completely. 😠

After spending over 2 hours on the phone...

1. Incorrect bundle processed, not as stated on my contract
2. New order processed by Pre-Install but was told unable to honour price as per my contract, even a manger couldn't seem to grasp that this is breach of contract.
3. Still no activation of boxes.
4. Passed through to Retentions.  Rolling credit to be applied to honour original price (will be keeping a watch for this on first bill)
5. Retentions said have resent the pairing codes but could take up to 1 hour.
6. 2 hours later and boxes still not activating.

Where can I go from here??

In a word, no. 

So have cancelled the contract, even that was made as difficult as possible.  Based on the whole VM experience to date, I am cynical as to whether or not this has been actioned.
