My flat is not on the Virgin broadband address list but other flats in the building are

09loopy0
On our wavelength

This has been a pain, I have tried for 5 months to get this fixed. I pressed the "My address does not show", filled in the details and have done so every month for 5 months, no one assists or actually checks. Someone did call the first time I did it and said they would check that day, they never got back to me and ignored me when I tried to call back.

The list is unreliable too, it has a flat 4 which can get 1Gbps but this building's top flat is flat 2 (I am flat 1).

I posted here and someone nicely tried to help and said it would be updated by now but nope, it's like Virgin do not even want new customers. It is a horrid and stressful experience.

Now I am being spammed with sales calls by Virgin who then give up after they realise my address is not on the list.

Can someone actually help and I don't just mean say they will help but really help me?

I've also been having the same problem - all the other flats in my building show in the list online, except the one that I'm moving to. I chatted to someone on the phone about it, who said it wasn't available at my address, but they couldn't give me a reason why - perhaps it just needs adding to the database too?

I’ve had a very similar issue however even once my address was added to the list I am still unable to get vm, where as the rest of the flat have been able to, been trying to have this sorted since august 2022 almost a year ago now

Hi Chloe_2, 

Thank you for posting to the thread. 

We are very sorry for the issues you are facing with getting the service to your home, I appreciate this must be frustrating. 

On checking, I can see you have a separate post on the forum and we are assisting your further from there. 

Please do get back to us from there and we will be happy to help. 

Thanks,

I know this forum is quite used and old but I just wanted you to quickly sort out my situation. So basically there's houses closely opposite to mine which have virgin media compatibility however I am urgently needing the internet as my household rubs many electronics daily. I have tried for months contacting VM and registering my interest but nothing ever came back, even when they say they will phone you back in a few weeks. I was wondering if you could help me in this situation and get my address on the database so I can get the high-speed broadband I crave. Also please help me and not leave me stranded. Thank you Forum Team.

Hi @Redduck412 

Thank you for reaching out to us here, welcome to the community.

There could be a number of reasons why one property could receive service and not another. It’s very difficult to say without understanding it a little more so I would like to take a look at this for you and see what I can do to help. In order to do so I will need a little bit more detail so I will send you a private message.

Once we have a better understanding we may be able to escalate this to one of our team to resolve for you because we would love to have you as a customer.

Thank you

Jon
