    Default Virgin Media

    I've waited 14 YEARS to have fibre installed in my house..just received a call from virgins construction department telling me I'm missing 9 meters of tracking so they can't do the install :@ seriously WTF??


    To make it worse the tracking seems to stop at my neighbours house who are a complete bunch of cunts:@

    If your neighbours are getting it they could easily pipe it into your place with Coax cable.

    Didnt read it properly. You ARE having it installed! lol

    Just to add..i ended up speaking to virgin's media principal technician for west london. He was surprised to hear that I used to have their old analogue shit back in the day, so hes asked me to call him monday to arrange a joint meet to assess the property..result!

    I had a similar issue couple of years ago which went on for months mate, eventually I got to talk to someone who wasn't a parrot and a property assessor bloke came round eventually and sorted it in days.

    Their system said 'no' to the fact I couldn't have cable installed when I moved from the downstairs flat to the upper one. Blimmin VM system apparently listed the property as one house and not two flats (which has been listed as 2 flats with the land registry and council since 1990) so they couldn't set up two accounts on the same 'house' .

    He came round, took a look and I got an install date sharpish

    Hope it goes your way.

    Someone told me to try calling em and see if they will install.

    Cant see em doing that for one house - although other properties may want it too.

    cant see them doing so for just 1 or 2 people. post a letter to all the neighbours in the street asking about if they would have cable fitted if it was avalible. im sure if enough people want it they would fit it.
