Luckily the name and email address of the VM person who did the press release was at the bottom of the article so I dropped her a very nice email and explained the problem and the next day she emailed me back and told me she had made some phone calls and if I ring up I will have no problems getting it. Sure enough I rang up and it went through straight away with no problems.

With it being a new build I imagine there is a team responsible for setting up your postcode on the VM system and assigning certain services/tiers to your postcode so when customer service look it up they can see you are in a VM enabled area and can get x, y and z.

That's exactly what happens,

I phone, they say yes you can get it as of course the wiring us there and the section built earlier have the services installed.

They say it needs to be activated or released on the system so I can order.

That's always as far as I get.
