Ex Telewest Control

[willas00]

My Ex-Telewest control is playing up.

Is it possiable to ring 150 and get a new control to replace it for free or is there a fee?

Thanks

phone 151. usually if just general wear and tear, is a free replacement. If the dog ate it then you will have to pay

Will it be the Silver Ex-Telewest or the New Black Virgin Control by any chance? Just curious!

Also would the current controll have to be sent back?

[BenMcr]

The black virgin one is only for the V+ for ex-tw areas, so you would probably get the same silver remote but with Virgin on it rather than 'Telewest Broadband'

The old one doesn't need to be sent back

You get the silver remote with Telewest Broadband on it, and they provide a freepost envelope to send the old one back in

They dont ask for it back if its been replaced due to faulty or wear and tear

They do, i had to send my old one back via the freepost envlope.

if you dont send it back within a set time (cant remember what it is) they'll charge you for the new remote

Trust me they dont anymore collect modems or remotes and with a disconnection sometimes with certain stb's they dont collect them or request them back. If so they need to charge me for a remote

Controll Arrived today and they never asked to send it back.

They said if you want to recycle it send it to an autherised recycle center.
