The doors open on green box just outside my window, telephone not working but tv and internet is, im not using my mobile to report it is there anybody on here thats could??

Box situated on Ubberley road corner of Bargrave Street ST2 area

Having a mad moment i have reported the box being open and no telephone service, why do the india call centers make it so difficult.

me good morning i wish to report phone not working

cs how long has it not been working

me how do i know i think appprox 12 hours

cs how do you know its 12 hours.

me i dont im just guessing as the box was ok the last time i looked and this morning i got up and the doors were wide open

cs what is green box and who has opened the doors

me im on a mobile phone here this call is costing me to report your faulty equpiment

cs can you unplug any extensions and try again to use your phone

me dont bother its not going to work i can see the wires hanging out of the box they ar not connected.

cs who has pulled the wires out

cs if you have damaged the cable you will have to pay

me listen very carefully please, the wires that connect to your equipment have been pulled out by some lovley person between the hours of 8.30pm yesterday and 7.00am this morning i have not pulled or damaged any wires do you understand.

I suggest you go to virginmedia.support.tv newsgroup and report it there. They take action and you dont have all that nonsense youve just given.

Free as well.

You know what? If that was me, I'd have gone out and cut the rest of the wires after that call. What a farce.

Your right is was a farce, i have not included the full converstaion, because it went behond the bounds of insanity.:mad:

First of all he did not know what the green box was, i tried to explain but was getting nowhere, and he put me on hold twice to run his diagnostic tests even after telling him, its got nothing to do with the phone. I was very polite and how i kept my temper at bay half way through the call even amazed my other half.

When will they realise, that the indian CS is a joke. i now have no phone service for 6 days and the cheeky sod tried to tell me i would be charged if im not in, at this point blood pressure was beginning to rise.:wtf:.

I have also reported it on the Virgin media newsgroup and hopfully i will get the phone back on quicker than 6 days, but im not holding my breath.

Thats the problem with the indian call centres anything beyond their training/script it is a nightmare to solve. Im sure with NTL faults with phone servie was prioritised as when you would ring faults after hours they had a message machine to report phone faults

Yes, in the old days, the grass was a much greener shade of green.

:td:This sounds as if it was a Monty Python sketch, sadly for you it is not. Customer Care ? More a case of "You are the customer, we dont care"

As daveetwo suggested, report this to the newsgroup - it's monitored by British staff and is very effective. The engineer I booked through the newsgroup has just left, I've given up calling VM.
