Disconnected Despite Renewing

Long story short, i handed in my cancelation in line with the 30 days notice at the start of December 2025. My last day would be 11th January. I received an offer to renew through email on 22nd December of which i accepted. Nothing updated on my system. Over the next 2 weeks i rang Virgin 3 times and spoke to 3 different people who all reassured me my connection will not disconnect and the new contract will take over. Fast forward to today, 12th of January 2026 and my services are off. I have phoned virgin this morning asking what had happened. I told them i called 3 times over the last 2 weeks to make sure this does not happen as i work from home and so does my wife so the broadband is required! (I have full tv / broadband /phoneline etc). They managed to reactivate this however this can now take 24-48 hours for everything to be back up and running. We have been unable to work due to this. It will reactivate at our normal contract price. They have said once it is back up and running give it 24 hours and call us back and we can honour your renewal. Has anyone else had such an issue and how long was it till your services were restored and contract updated? Any help would he appreciated. I am stressed because if is not back on in time i wont be able to work tomorrow either

  • Hi Saqibh93, 

     

    Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention! It seems that you were going to cancel, chose to stay and now reactivated your account and been told we will honour the renewal offer you got. Can you confirm when you was told this information regarding the reactivation? 

     

    Once we have this information we can proceed🙂

      Hi over the phone today. I accepted the renewal offer 3 weeks before it cancelled. I have been told it can take 24-48 hours to re activate the account and then to phone back up and they will honor my offer that i had accepted
