I've had Virgin before and they just shoved a cable through an upstairs wall and shoved a connector on one end for my broadband.
I'm returning to Virgin shortly and have gone for tv and phone as well.
The tv point is dead in the centre of my house with no obvious route to lay a cable (the sky cable comes under the floor of my house to get to it).
Do Virgin installers work to the same rules as Sky installers - ie laying cable on the top of skirting boards? Clearly doing this would not be acceptable since there is no skirting board to follow etc.
My Sky cable is snagged so I can't use that to lay a draw-cable, a family member who is an electrician used some very bendy rods to lay the last one.
Do you think there is any chance of getting them to swap the long and inconvenient cable in the spare room for a socket on the wall (like I gather they should have done the first time).
