Thanks for coming back to us patricklock,
We would confirm that what has been advised is correct - as the essential broadband packages, with or without Stream are available to low income users and are not designed for customers to simply make a potential saving on a package previously in place.&nbsp;
Virgin Media offers their Essential Broadband packages to ensure low income customers have a basic working connection to ensure that they have every possibly to ensure all broadband relation functions can still be undertaken.
We would also need to ensure that as a business, Virgin Media is a responsible lender and would not want to put further financial burden on a customer who has proven, via the required checks, that they qualify for a service that is at a discounted price due to the low income advised.
Thanks,

I've had the same problem for months! They even went as far as to charge me for a TNT sports package for 3 months when I didn't have it.

As soon as you try to sort it via chat or phone call you just get fobbed off to the next person.

Poor service. Thankfully my contract ends in August so I won't have this issue soon

Patricklock, without any information about what you've tried and how VM have tried to help you, it's going to be hard to advise – you're giving us nothing here. However, if you have just received the puck, it could be that it hasn't been correctly connected to your account. See here as I had a similar experience.

Hi,after loads of online and phone chats.I find out i can't add anything to the stream tv,all because i have essentials broadband.Why couldn't i have been told this before and i wouldn't of got this.

So finding this out on friday morning,i contacted sky about there stream box and wheather it could connect with my hub.So yes it can,i ordered it and by saturday morning it was up and running.Wish i had done it ages ago.

I have been a virgin tv customer for decades,so you have lost me as a customer because of your stupid rules.

I would of got rid of broadband also but sky has really bad broadband in Luton so not worth changing it for now,but that may change in time.

So Virgin your customer care has been so bad this last week or so,with me being told different things by different people and having to waste hours contacting you.The whole experience was horrible !!

Regards

Patrick
