That is an old trick no longer allowed as they do check the address, something they never used to do in the old days.

The funny thing is I ask this because that's what a VM person actually told me to do on the phone when I was enquiring about a deal on the 50Mb broadband ;)

I presume your partner will pass the credit check.

Had it installed today, i was at work when the chap came, my misses was in.

Everything ok but no free wireless router? Just the new modem.

Am i right in thinking i should have got a free wireless router with the installation aswell?

The twitter team told me new router + new dongle when I moaned about the £35 + £20 they want for non-VIP upgrades. See part of their email in my "Decided not to upgrade" thread.

Did you get a new installation today, if so it should come with a free router and you will need to them for one to be sent out.

I have my own wireless router, NOT a virgin media one.. My router is an old D Link router which only gives me a download speed of 5MB, when im surfing wireless...

Yes Masque had 50mb installed today, was on 20mb..

Just rang customer services and told them that the engineer didn't give me the router and he said that he will put a claim in or something and that an engineer will bring it round within 7 days? Does that sound about right? Also I was told the Sky Premium HD channels are NOT free on VIP50??
