I think you need to seriously lower your expectations.



Report them for doing their job? Back when I worked for NTL I wouldn't of offered compensation in a similar case.
The agent too thought that he was doing us a favour by sending out a free remote. I had to remind him that the equipment belonged to VM and that they were legally obliged to repair or replace faulty equipment in this scenario.

I was originally told that it would take 5 days to replace, so was working on that basis.

It was only reduced to next day delivery after intervention by a manager.

In the circumstances, the service was useless to my friend without the remote control.

Mean while in the real world we all live in apart from some it seems there are much more serious and real problems to deal with.

I now await the standard threat and the addition of a flashing indicator at the top right of the forum.
Of course there are worse problems in the world than a lonely disabled man losing his only source of entertainment and company.

Going by your attitude, anything less than a life and death situation should never be resolved

I have never threatened you- do not say this again.
