Are you speaking on behalf of all the residents, or just yourself?

Have you asked the same questions to BT that you should have asked Virgin?

So you are now admitting that you "foolishly assumed". So in fact that means that is was your fault for assuming.

You also said that yours was the only block in the road to not have Virgin. So wouldn'y it have made sense to have a look at the other blocks rather than just assimg that Virgin would have to cover every possible eventuality, just because some people "foolishly assume".

No, most of us don't. But we can all see that you are trying to push the blame onto Virgin, because you got it wrong, and "foolishly assumed".

Or after they've turned up to install it and see it's a white building, and when, by your own admission, no one was in the building?

VM are not psychic, they don't have a database of white buildings. This was something you should have sorted out, as you're the one that knows your building has special requirements.
I'd give up. Kizza is never going to admit that it is their fault, because they "foolishly assumed"

That would be easy. They can charge you for the install if you now decide they have wasted their time.
