Proposed installation route for fibre cabling
My landlord has requested a proposed installation wiring route for the fibre optic service I ordered for my address (a third-floor flat). Which department is best to contact for this? I couldn't get hold of a human being through the main phone contact or the helpbot. Thanks in advance.SolvedNew Hub5 - Red light flashing. Whats a wall socket?
Ive a new kit arrived today. Brand new customer to VM. Red light on hub flashing, ive now come across something about a wall socket? Never had VM before, so at a total loss as to what this means. Surely this should of been known to virgin media before sending out a so called quick start kitVirgin fibre in house currently but when I signed up fibre cables were cut by 3rd party
Just don't understand why I wouldn't be using the current virgin media fibre cables that are already in the house? Signed up to 1gb fibre should I not just receive a new router and TV box and not need the fibre and cables done again considering they are already there?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 provideCan't move my Virgin - told my new address is for a business... but it isn't!
Hello. I'm trying to move my Virgin Media broadband and TV to a new flat, but am being told they can't do it, as the address is registered for a business. But the address can be found straight away when using the Virgin Media residential postcode checker, and I called a couple of times a few months back to double check the move would be no problem, before I bought the flat! It is just a standard flat, and no business is run out of it. The woman in the call centre gave me the business number, but it won't let me speak to anyone. I just want the address converted to residential, so I can have my connection moved. Please help.Tidying 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, UK5 month delay - install cancelled - compensation?
We moved house at the end of May and wanted to bring our package with us. We were told it would be installed the day after we moved in. That was then pushed back by 2 weeks...and then another 2 weeks, and then another 2 weeks...for 5 months! Right the way up until 2 days ago when we had an email saying they couldn't supply us and our account was being cancelled. I'm aware we are now due significant compensation for delayed install from Ofcom. I spoke to an agent yesterday who claimed we weren't entitled to this. I quoted Ofcom guidelines to them: they said they'd open a complaint to arrange compensation. I received an email today: they resolved the complaint today under the reason "Customer Experience -> Agent or Technician Professionalism - Internal feedback provided". I've raised another complaint... By my maths, we're owed for every day since the initial install day, plus 30 days notice, plus the discretionary compensation they offered in calls (e.g. credit for a new 4G router). It's well over £1,000 at this point. What's our best way of getting the compensation we're owed actually paid via cheque? Support have been terrible, constantly telling us incorrect information and now telling us twice we aren't owed any delay install pay. Thanks for any helpMoving house and getting an engineers assessment for connecting
Have had a discussion with the chat support team about having an engineer look at connecting a property we've purchased (but haven't moved in yet). Have been given an engineer reference, but have recieved emails telling me they're 'Sorry they can't connect us' within an hour of me talking to the chat support team. Are these automated emails that are sent out anyway? We were advised that they would start the cancellation process automatically and then re-instate it once we can get our new home connected (if it's possible), so just trying to get peace of mind as the other connection options in the area are pitifully slow.Do I need an engineer
Hi all, I’m hoping someone can advise. I'm moving and I’m wondering if it’s suitable to self install my Virgin Media hub. There is an old Telewest phone socket which is not like the images on the relocation guidelines. Also there isn't a hard plastic box on the wall - just a cable with a TRIS-102A connector. I have confirmed that Virgin is available at the property using the postcode checker. (I can't seem to post photos on this forum and not sure how else to get this reviewed by the VM team) Thanks, MaureenSolvedNew Build Property
I have a new build property that has virgin cabling and is connected to the virgin box, however, Virgin are saying they are unable to provide service to the property. I have spoken to the sales team who have been incredibly unhelpful and keep telling me to register my interest, which I did 7 months ago. The house next door is servicable (existing build). The sales department have said they are unable to connect me to anyone who can help or unable to send an engineer without placing an order, which they can't do as the system says no. There must be a way around this. We have been in this property for 7 months and not getting anywhere!
