NEW BUILD CONNECTION

Can anyone help?

I moved into a new build Barratt Homes house last week that is pre-wired for Virgin Media services, I was told by the Sales Office at Barratt Homes that they had filled all the forms out Virgin need before I had even moved in and sent them back.

Since moving in last week I’ve contacted Virgin Media a number of times.

I was initially given the National Home Builders @ Virgin Media Number to ring - I’ve tried calling this around 4-5 times this week and after been on hold for around 45mins-1hr you get cut off without getting to speak to anyone.

I’ve phoned the normal sales line who have aparently filled out some forms and sent to their ‘back office’ for approval and was told someone would get back to me in a couple of days.

I’ve had webchats and spoke to the Virgin team on Twitter who again said they’ve passed the query to the New Build team and would get them to contact me.

Some Virgin Media colleagues I’ve spoke to say I’m not even in a Virgin area, I find this hard to believe when the house is pre-wired and also my neighbours are connected.

I’m just wanting to get connected as I’m sure you can appreciate how difficult live is these days with broadband!

Hope someone can help?

Kind Regards

Danny

Hi,

I am due to move in to a New build home in four weeks time that has been wired up for Virgin Media.  Currently your postcode checker says that no services are available.  I work exclusively from home, therefore moving in without and active broadband connection would be an absolute nightmare for me.

What would be the best way for me to proceed?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, 

I'm moving into a new build home in around 2 weeks. The developers have told us that everything is set up for Virgin, however, website still shows as unavailable. Would be great if someone could look into this for me.
