Currently I have VM broadband (1gig) and TV (tivo box)
I was frequently moving my box between my bedroom and living room due to spending much time in bed at the moment (health issues). I decided I had had enough of that and just decided to add a second box (V6 for the living room, leaving my tivo in the bedroom). Sounds simple?
Had major issues getting VM to send me a new box (the booked an installation then cancelled), in the end retention arranged a self install. The box arrived on thursday and upon plugging it all in, it failed to work due to been unable to find my account details. After a day this message has gone but the box is now suck in a loop (welcome, starting up, some kind of firmware update, reboot, repeat). The light is orange (flashing/pulsing). It's been like this for a few days.
VM support have been useless, having spend oiver 8 hours in the queue listing to the same crappy music for hours, only to be fobbed off between departments. The last call I had they said my issue was an area fault and would not be fixed until some time in march (6th I think). This is complete fob off as my tivo works fine in both cable points in my house.
They did offer an engineer call out but I had to decline (I am currently having to self isolate for at least 8 more days due to NHS covid app exposure notification. VM will not send me a new V6 box until the issue is fixed in March 6th, they have offered me no compensation, and are still charging the activation fee and increased sub for my 'second box'..
I don't believe there is any issue I just think this new V6 is faulty ... but I got no where trying to get that resolved.
Having had enough I have tried to cancel all my services so I can go to Sky, but I am still in contract from my broadband upgrade and they are demanding £180 early termination fee.
I asked for a complaint to be raised but I don't believe this was done.
I am at a loss as to how to proceed, short of refusing to pay the bill. I am thinking of cancelling the direct debit and paying the old amount manually for the services I am receiving. 😞
