cable too short
Hi Ive just received my home start broadband set up kit, its with a HUB 3.0 the 3Meter coax cable is too short, I need a 5m cable to reach properly (I have an 8ft arched window between the cable socket outlet and the mains plug over the other side where the hub will be connected and stand) I can connect the 3M cable but its hanging in mid air in the middle of the window. Placing HUB on floor on carpet is not safe and gets in the way of curtains etc Can you send out a 5m cable please? I'll happily send the £M one back. Thank you ILonger Coaxial Cable Needed
Hi, I have an odd shaped property such that the VM Coaxial socket box wall outlet is fitted quite some distance from my TV and the living quarters of the house. Therefore I need to move my VM Hub closer to this area via a longer coaxial cable. Needs to be at least 8 metres so a standard 10 metre cable would be ok if 8 metres is not available. Please can this be sent to me? ThanksTidying external and exposed cables on apartment building
Hi there, I was wondering if virgin media send engineers to tidy external and exposed cables on the outside of houses/flats? As in the building I live in, virgin coax fibre cables have been added over the years as residents have signed up to virgin media. However this piecemeal approach means too many wires are connected into single wall boxes along the building, with damaged/missing brown protective boxes/boxes zip tied etc. See photos attached, looks rubbish. Could do with replacing some boxes/rewiring connectors and tidying the cable runs as exposed connections will get damaged/weathered, cables can fall/be tripped over etc. based in Redland, Bristol, UKRelocating VM cable into the house
Hi there, I need to relocate the VM cable into my house, and I understand this means booking a £25 engineer visit, which I am happy to do. However, I have tried the various automated menu options on the 0345.... number, but did not get to a place where I could arrange this. The 'engineer visit' option was about managing pre-arranged visits for first-time installations. The 'relocation of cable' request took me to a set of menu options about moving house. A previous post, 7 months ago, suggested selecting 'option 2, fault' but this only led to a remote test of the broadband equipment. Can anyone help me with this? All best, Paul
Moving Hub
I would like to move my hub to the opposite side of my living room. It is currently about 3 meters away from the cable entry point. I would like to move it next to the entry point so just need to get a short cable to replace the long cable that was originally installed. Can I purchase a new short cable for this ?Entire road and adjoining roads....not us
Please help with more information Virgin Media. We had your team digging up the road this summer, they have gone down both sides, all the way down and off into all the adjoining roads....but for some reason have gone all down our side of the road, and then stopped just before our set of houses. They are over the road from us however. They ran a cable across the road to our side, and stopped about 4 houses down. Can you please find out for us the reason for this and whether we can do anything to get this fixed? I saw one of your engineers who said they normally don't dig up if ducting is available, however to can't be the case as you dug up the entire road and then have not come to us. I hope if you can help I can DM you my address. Thank you in advance for any information you can provideNeed my fibre cable moved
Hello! My fence in my front garden needs to be removed, but the fibre cable into my property has been pinned to the bottom of it. I need to get this moved and obviously don’t want to damage it. The fence is on its last legs and I’m worried it will fall and break the cable as well. I have tried calling tech support but none of the options were applicable. Any help is much appreciated!Fibre box illegally installed on my land
I have seen that this is happening a lot and I can’t see any way to get hold of Virgin to speak to someone about this without being passed from pillar to post. Earlier this week we had some sub contractors turn up and dig up the pavement to install whatever was required for fibre. So far, so good. Walked out of the house today to see the new fibre box has been installed on my land. This was without my permission and without any prior knowledge. I am livid. Any ideas of who can help would be very much appreciated.
