Virgin Media Login
I have tried for the past three weeks to logon to my virgin media / O2 Mobile account and can't. It presents with this error stating that I should turn off VPN??? Use another browser, etc etc etc. Having come back to virgin after 18 months it seems that service and customer care have vanished. A chat with a bot? then eventually a person, I think stated that he would raise a ticket to resolve this. That was over a week ago and no contact. The error is below Instead: Use a device you've signed in on before Try again from a familiar connection If you're on a VPN, switch it off and have another go Still stuck? If this keeps happening, get in touch with us (quoting reference IDF-12B) and we'll help sort it. Getting anyone to answer the phone is near impossible, I give up after 30 mins waiting on the phone answering daft questions to another bot, that doesn't understand what I'm asking and punching various numbers on a keypad to transfer between who??? Please get this fixed, its been over a month since it was installed and well and truly fed up. This is not customer service this is unjustified, unhelpful and not fit for purpose.Payment taken but order failed?
Hello all, Last night i placed an order for a non-contract broadband package went through all the steps and after making the upfront payment of £80 the page went to an "opps, something has gone wrong". I can see a pending payment of £80 in my account to Virgin media. After 10-15 minutes i didn't recive any emails saying indicating the order had gone through or details of next steps. All i have Contract summary sheet number that was genterated before the payment was taken. I spent an hour on the phone to yesterday and was bounced around all different departments and no one was able to provide much help. (Customer serivces, Callback number, new accounts team) As far as virign media is aware the account was not created, so i dont have a account number. What are the next steps, will the payment be evetually refunded when the system relaises there is no account it has been paid to? Many Thanks, Luke.Contract renewal - severe loyalty penalty
After almost 15 years with different Virgin Media contracts, my existing Virgin Media package contract comes to an end in August. I tried to look at options via my online account a couple of weeks ago but there was nothing available - just a message saying oops there is a problem and to call up or use chat. So I tried to login to my online account last week, this time I was forced into re-linking my Virgin Media and O2 accounts (which were already linked!). All seemed well until I tried to login today and was unable to getting in instead receiving an IDF-12B error message and advising to call in to get help. Aarghhhh. Looking on posts here, it seems I am not alone with this issue and it is taking multiple calls and days/weeks for people to resolve with the help desk. So what does this mean: I cannot access my account online; It makes it very difficult to cancel the agreement; It means I cannot see any potential new contract offers. After my last round of contract renewals where I was bombarded with multiple calls a day, all offering the same package but at wildly different prices even in the same day (some were 50-75% higher for the same deal!) I am loathe to try chat or calling up the call centre. So I tried to contact someone via this forum who was very helpful in resolving issues in the past. After no response and a chaser I got a note from someone else telling me not to contact the team directly and instead to post via the forum. So much for customer service! I then got an e-mail advising me that my contract was coming up on 23 August and that my existing package will go from £77 per month to >£219 per month if I do nothing - this is not going to happen.... The e-mail helpfully told me that a new customer could get a similar package for £79 per month but as an existing customer I would pay £190 for the same package...hmmm... does this sound like a fair and equitable way to treat loyal customers? Weren't OfCom looking into this issue specifically after a similar problem with the insurance industry penalising existing customers? This makes no business sense either as if the prices are so uncompetitive that I leave, then there is a cost and the waste of returning VM equipment, sending an engineer out to the local box etc.... So the long and the short of this post is please can someone from the team contact me directly to discuss a sensible price for a new contract with the same package I have now, otherwise I will be leaving and issuing notice tomorrow.FTTP Connection Failing Frequently
I have had my connection drop three times since 11am yesterday. I tried support earlier today but they are only able to follow a script and as I am using the Hub 3 in modem mode I gave up. The VM support people need better training to know when following a script won't help. I'm seeing these errors: 29/03/2025 12:02:6 Warning!

Hi all, All help greatly appreciated. Setup : Smart Hub 5 (modem mode) Issue : Every few hours my internet drops for approx 20-30seconds and then recovers. Observations : There is a lot of US profile assignment change logs. I think this are related to the times when my internet drops. "US profile assignment change. US Chan ID: 6; Previous Profile: 12 13; New Profile: 11 13.;CM-MAC=" Seen a couple of these in the current log. Nowhere near as prevalent "DHCP RENEW WARNING - Field invalid in response v4 option;CM-MAC=" Various errors logged (see screenshots below) What's changed? Have been running the Smart Hub 5 in router mode recently. Don't remember observing this initially but not 100% ruling it out. However, based on the Smart Hub logs it feels this is Smart HUB to Virgin infrastructure issues instead of it being my router plugged into Port 1 of the Smart HUB My next door neighbours recently has had Virgin Media broadband installed. Again I did not notice this initially so think again this is not related. System status : [Seems to be a lot of errors being logged such as] Adding upstream stats for reference And overall status Thanks in advance for any help or guidanceFlex / stream not allowing subscriptions to be added
I have recently joined Virgin and had a Flex stream box installed. My first impression is that I'm very happy with the box, it is proving to be alot quicker than BT. However, I'm unable to manage my Stream Box subscriptions so I can't add/remove any subscriptions to the box (Sky Sports or TNT Sports etyc). When I try doing it through the box, I just get an error message telling me there's a technical problem at the moment and it shows me a QR code that takes me to virginmedia.com/manage-stream. When I use this link and log in to my account, I can see that Stream is on my account but when I click on Manage, I get an error message again and I'm unable to add or remove anything. This has been going on for five days now. I've checked online and found quite a few posts on this forum about this so I'm not the only one having this problem. However, I haven't been able to find any solutions to this. I have raised the issue with the help line and they sent out an engineer to change the box but that didnt work. The engineer then spent an hour on the phone trying to resolve the issue but without any joy. Having looked through old streams on this community it would appear that the box / account hasnt been activated correctly, in a previous stream from 2022 it was suggested that someone from Virgin help team send a "hit" to the box and that activated it. However I can not get through again on the help desk to make that suggestion. Has anyone else had this issue recently? Does anyone have any ideas of how to approach this and how to fix it? Based on previous posts, calling VM seems pointless as customer service don't seem to know what a Stream Box is. Is anyone on this forum able to help?
