Hi there,

 

Thanks for placing your order with Virgin Media. We can see from your details that you have recently contacted Virgin Media to make some changes to your account, therefore we haven't made any additional changes.

 

As you already have our services, any pre-payment that you have made online will not be taken. If you need to speak to anyone regarding the changes to your account, just call our team on 150 from your Virgin Media phone or mobile, or 0345 454 1111* from any other phone.

 

Kind regards,

    What the heck does that mean? I’ve checked my account and the order is still in progress? I’m worried they’ve cancelled it? Thanks

      Hi dogfishddl 

      Thanks for posting and welcome back to the community. Thanks also for sending the email - this would indicate there are issues with the order. 

      I'll send you a PM now to help.

      Hi, we finished at 9pm yesterday and I was not back on until now.

      I'm available until 8.45pm today, let me know when you're free.

    Hi, everything seems to have stopped with regards to progress on this, I was advised this would be resolved, this was delayed by a member of staff being off shift, but would be sorted within 24 hours from their return. Nothing has happened. This is frankly becoming absurd. The only way to actually get UK contact is via this forum, and without getting personal with people who are trying their best to help, even this method is not working. If this isn’t sorted within 24 hours to my full satisfaction, I’m just going to forget it, join sky stream and move on, at this rate I’m going to have no phone line or internet connection at all. I work away from home for weeks at a time and my family rely on this. Virgins hardware works ok but their customer service setup is nothing short of a joke.

      Hi dogfishddl 👋 Thanks for returning to this public thread to keep it updated. 

      Our sincerest apologies for the delay on getting this sorted for you. My colleague who you are currently PMing with will be best suited to get it resolved for you. Feel free to send them a follow up PM in the meantime if you wish. 

      It may be worth mentioning that response times can vary via this platform depending on staff availability and working hours. We always aim to respond as quickly as possible, and appreciate your patience with us whilst we offer help. 

      Wishing you all the best! 🌞

    Hi, whilst I appreciate that, it doesn’t explain why all contact has stopped. The colleague would have been aware of their and their other colleagues working pattern. I’ve PM’d for an update

  • Did you get this resolved as I have the same problem
