Virgin Broadband Cable Too Long

Terkish

I have had some work done on my house and that has led me to reposition the TV. As a result of this, I have around 7-8 metres of excess cable. I called Virgin to ask if they would shorten it for me but they refused.

Do you guys have any ideas or suggestions?

I thought about this, but even wrapped up, there is a huge bundle of cables.

Chop the cable off to the requred length and fit a new F connector.

Readily available from Screwfix Amazon etc.

If you are worried about upsetting VM then buy a new cable thats terminated in F Connectors at both ends.

No wonder Virgin "refused", it's a three minute job which most anyone can do.

However, do realise that you may need that cable in the future, so be certain before you discard it.
