Unexpected New Contract After Moving

Hi Virgin Media Team,

I’m hoping you can help me resolve an issue with my broadband contract. I’ve been a loyal customer and was happy with my original M125 Fibre Broadband deal from October 19, 2023 (£26.50/month until April 18, 2025, then £49/month). When I moved flats in October 2024, I brought my service with me. The new flat had Virgin lines, you sent a box, I plugged it in, and it worked immediately—same service, no issues.

However, I’ve now discovered that moving started a new 18-month contract on October 18, 2024. My bill is £28.83/month until April 18, 2025, then jumps to £53.30/month until April 2026. I wasn’t told during the move that this would happen, and I assumed my original contract would continue since the service stayed the same. Your terms say that if the same services are provided at a new address, the existing minimum period should carry over—so I’m confused why a new contract was applied.

£53.30/month is too expensive for me, and I’d like a solution. I’ve seen a competitor offer 150Mb fibre for £26.13/month, and I’d rather stay with Virgin Media, but I need a more affordable rate.

I’d really appreciate a clear explanation and a fair resolution. If this wasn’t communicated properly during the move, I’d like that addressed too. Thanks in advance for your help—I’ve always valued your service!

Thanks,
Josh

  • Hi Josh99 thanks for posting although we're sorry to hear of the concerns you've raised here.

    Unless you have made changes to your package, then your original contract length should stand - this is why your price has increased. It's not increased early, it's just that it's an admin error showing your contract length longer than it is.

    Let me look into this so please expect a PM from me to arrive shortly and respond directly when you can!
    Many thanks

  • Hi @Tom_W1 thanks for the quick reply! It sounds like an admin error indeed. I've replied to your PM!
