Technician no show 7 days in a row
Hey all, I recently moved and have had all the internal work set up in the house to plug in my router, but they said someone would have to come back to fix the external cables. The technician said he would mark this as “urgent” so hopefully it would be completed asap. Every single day since Monday 02/12/24, I have had a text and email saying “we’re sorry but we’ve had to reschedule your cable repull to *tomorrows date*”. Everytime I use the online chat or phone up they guarantee that the newest date is correct and it will definitely happen, but every day they cancel and reschedule. I’m at a total loss on what to do. I work from home so have been out of work for over a week now trying to get this fixed. Not happy.230Views0likes2CommentsHow accomodating are the installers about where the cable goes?
Hi all, I will finally be installed next week hopefully, the outside brown box is now all wired up. I was wondering how accomodating the installers are? I want to get the equipment in the cupboard under the the stairs, I've uploaded a shoddy paint drawing of the basic top down layout of my bottom floor. The red box drawn on the outside end terrace wall is where the pre-installation contractors have put the brown box. The dark red line is my proposed path, it would go along the outside wall, and in under the floorboards in the kitchen, and into the cupboard coming up on the other side of the wall. Would the installer be fine with coming in under the floorboards? also how flexible is the fibre? (I'm on the XGS-PON network) can it be routed around skirting boards etc? anything I can do to make this easier for them coming on the day?1.4KViews0likes10CommentsKeep Hub5 from old account and remove new Hub3 ?
Hi ive started a new post on this subject as I haven’t had a response from a Virgin Employee on my other post which I’m hoping to do please. Up until last week, March 31st, we had M250 18 month contract package in my partners name, during the initial setup we had WiFi issues back on this connection and a technician swapped us from the Hub3 to the Hub5 which has been perfect ever since. 2 days ago we started our new contract under my name, (we were advised to do it this way by Virgin Media salesman to get the best price) Same M250 package, I did ask when siginging for the new package about keeping the Hub5 due to the previous issues and was told Virgin only send out Hub4’s and Hub5’s, clearly this was incorrect as we’ve been sent a Hub3, with a new router - the Hub3 , we instantly have WiFi issues (Ethernet is fine) basically it can’t reach the rooms downstairs - we can sit on one side of the sofa and get WiFi (not great speeds though) and move to the other end of the sofa and get nothing, unfortunately this also means the Amazon firestick can’t get a speed over 3Mbps (we got over 100Mbps with the Hub5) so we get constant buffering, and no home screen message with no WiFi at all at times. We consistently got speeds of over 200Mbps on the old Hub5 all over the home, we now have spots where get no connection and where we do get WiFi the speeds are between 3Mbps and 15Mbps. The hub5 from the old contract is sat upstairs, unplugged, can I please ask a Technician re-configure the Hub5 to work with the new connection and fix my issue? As it is tried and tested and will sort this issue, also will save me lots of time with phone calls to Virgin explaining this. Thank youSolved5.6KViews0likes46Comments
