No Service Since December 24– No Resolution from Virgin Media!

I’m posting here out of sheer frustration after months of unresolved issues with Virgin Media. Our service was cut off on 18th December 24 due to an error by a Virgin Media team installing a new connection at No. 12 on our street. In the process, they damaged our cable, and ever since, repeated attempts to re-pull it have failed due to a poor original installation.  

As it stands, we are without service indefinitely, with no clear resolution or proper communication from Virgin Media. We have spent countless hours chasing answers, only to be met with vague responses, empty promises, and no concrete action. The complete lack of accountability and transparency has made this experience incredibly stressful.  

Despite escalating this issue through the Resolutions Team , we are no closer to a solution. With no other options left, we have now taken the matter to the Ombudsman after exhausting all standard complaint channels.  

Has anyone else experienced this level of service failure? How did you get it resolved? Virgin Media, it’s time to take responsibility and FIX THIS NOW!

  • Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my ongoing frustration and disappointment regarding the handling of my complaint (reference C-1501252131), particularly in light of the fact that the 6–8 week timeframe promised for action by your Construction team has now passed, with no further communication or progress. As outlined in your previous response, the work required to complete the installation at my property was referred to your Construction team, who were supposed to contact me within 6 to 8 weeks. That period has now elapsed without any update, contact, or completion of the work. This continued delay is unacceptable, and the absence of communication only adds to my dissatisfaction. I must stress that I have been more than patient throughout this process. However, it is clear that Virgin Media has failed to meet even the most basic expectations in customer care, communication, and service delivery. At this stage, I am left with an unresolved issue, no timeline, and no meaningful attempt at resolution. I now request the following: 1. An urgent update on the status of the construction work and when it will be completed. 2. A firm and realistic date for the installation to go ahead. 3. Immediate compensation for the prolonged delay and poor service. 4. Assurance that my complaint remains open and is being actively reviewed. Should I not receive a satisfactory response within 7 days, I will have no choice but to re-escalate this matter to the Communications Ombudsman. I look forward to your prompt and meaningful reply.

      Thanks for coming back to the public thread RESH6119 and we're sorry to hear that this matter is still ongoing.

      I understand that you have been working with my colleague on this matter and would advise continuing to have open dialogue with them to see if we can find a suitable resolution for your complaint.

      Thanks,

      I have the exact same issue as you except I’ve been without WiFi since March 20th. New installation a couple doors down cut our cable and Virgin have been extremely unhelpful. Broken promises, cancelled engineer appointments, no accountability.  I suspect they don’t actually want to fix the issue.

        "I’ve been without WiFi"
        Unfortunately I cannot help with your problem, but please when you communicate with VM refer to it as your ‘Broadband Connection’ not ‘WiFi’. If you mention WiFi some of the telephone agents will go off on a tangent. 

  • Dear Resolutions/ Complaints Team,

    I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction regarding the handling of my ongoing complaint, reference C-2904252066.

    I have experienced a total loss of service since 18th December 2024, and despite repeated assurances, there has been no meaningful progress. On 27th March 2025, I was informed that the matter would be resolved within 6–8 weeks. Then, on 30th April 2025, I was told to allow a further 28 days for an update. It is now well beyond that timeframe, and I have yet to receive any further update.

    This extended period of inaction, combined with a complete lack of service for five months, is unacceptable. The continued absence of updates and resolution reflects extremely poorly on your commitment to customer care.

    This is not a new complaint, but a continuation of the same unresolved issue. I am requesting an immediate and substantive update on the current status of my case, along with a clear and definitive timeline for restoration of service and resolution.

    I look forward to your urgent attention to this matter.

    Kind regards,
    Paresh Pandya
