Contract renewed but still showing as not renewed at VM!

We renewed our contract online on 10/10/25 and have emails from VM showing the new package for a new 24months plan. The emails said that the estimated activation date is 7 - 10 working days, which is today. VM should be sending through a new hub but this hasn't arrived. The original contract runs out on 26/1/25.

Having checked our account it us still saying that the contact expires soon and that the next bill will go to a lot more than that shown by the new contact. 

I would like to think that this is a mistake and the new hub will arrive tomorrow but, to be honest, I'm not confidant!! Has the contract been renewed or not?

Can some one at VM contact me to explain this.

  • Hi pot-shadley,

    Thanks for your post and welcome to our community. 

    I'm sorry to hear the new order hasn't been applied yet.

    It does typically take up to 10 working days, however can be longer dependant on the volume of online orders.

    I'll send you a private message now so I can check this. 

    Please look out for the envelope in the top right of the page and pop back to me when you can.

    I was in the same position as you. I accepted an online renewal offer on 7 October, which Virgin Media failed to process in good time, and I was unexpectedly disconnected on 22 October. It took Virgin Media two days to reconnect me and now I am struggling to get them to honour the online renewal offer. To make matters worse, Virgin Media has now raised a monthly charge of £206.88 against my account, when the online renewal offer, which I had accepted, was for a monthly charge of £44.02. Calling customer services multiple times (before and after the disconnection) to get the matter resolved has gotten me nowhere, so I have now made a formal complaint and will have to wait for 28 days for Virgin Media to respond. Beware!

  • Could someone from VM come back to me today. I started a conversation with Vicky & Alex a week ago but not heard anything for a couple of days. I'm happy with the latest proposal and want to proceed but need someone to confirm what happens next.

      Hi pot-shadley

      Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Our team here on Forums do not have an immediate response time however they will aim to get back to you as soon as possible via PM. Please bear with us in the meantime.

      Thanks,

       

  • Can someone at VM tell me what is happening. There should have been a delivery of a new hub yesterday which didn't turn up. Can VM confirm when this is to be delivered?

  • I am but so far no response. Its been 2 days now since I was told that the new hub will arrive and the start of the new contract. All I need is a date of when the gub is to arrive as you are now passed the contract start date and I'm not getting the broadband speeds that I should be getting.

      We understand the frustration but my colleague will respond when they can do.

      This platform isn't instant responses sorry. 

      They will reach out when they can do.
