Residential address registered as a business address; any help, please?

Hello,

I am currently a Virgin Media customer and seeking to establish a broadband service at a different address. Where I currently live (where I do not have Virgin Media services as of yet), it is essentially a block of many flats; my address and flat number in particular do not show as serviceable on the residential broadband address checker, but when I use the address checker for the business broadband packages, my address and flat number (including every other flat within the block) show full availability for a wide range of broadband packages.

I took a look at other similar posts on this forum and it seems to be that it is likely a case of address misclassification (where my address and all other flats within my block are misclassified as a business address), but Virgin Media staff will know better than I do.

To clarify, there is a building (of which is not a flat) within my block that is operated by a business, but all the flats within my block are solely residential (including my own); perhaps the whole block has mistakenly been classified as a business address due to the presence of this business within my block, but I am unsure.

Or maybe business broadband packages rely on a separate infrastructure. Again, I am unsure.

I would appreciate assistance on this issue, as I am eager to establish a broadband service at my address.

Cheers. 👍

  • Hello ryncnw,

    Sorry to hear of the serviceability issues experienced, we appreciate you raising this with us via the forums and welcome to the community.

     

    As our residential and business networks are different, it is possible to have business broadband at some locations but not residential. If it is a block of flats then it would depend where it is as we're unable to service properties under certain reasons.

    I can arrange for a colleague to take a look if you can confirm some details. I will send you a Private Message, please keep an eye out in the top right when signed into the forums for the envelope. This is where you will be able to find my Private Message and be able to respond.
