Thumbs down Broken STB and NO engineer availbility

After spending the usual hour on hold waiting for an agent, I finally get through and am told that my constantly rebooting V+ box, as I suspected needs an engineer visit.

However, I am then told that there is NO AVAILABILITY in my (KT14) area at all so they cannot arrange a visit. Can I please call back in a day or two and see if there is any then?

Well - I am speechless. What way is this to run a business?

I've asked for a supervisor to call me with an explanation, but I don't suppose that will happen.

Epic FAIL!

Might be a problem with quota being loaded on to the system, the agent should have asked his/her manager to contact the quota team.

Re: Broken STB and NO engineer availbility

Is it possibly an outage as that may account for the lack of engineers.
