Complete Failure in Service
Hello, I am writing regarding the wifi at my house. We recently upgraded our broadband plan 3 or so weeks ago to the highest we can Gig1 service with a new hub 5 and it has been an abhorrent experience. For 3 weeks consistently there have been drops and disconnections from the internet. Too many times I have called regarding this. The internet went down about 5 times within an hour timeframe last Saturday and upon calling virgin to resolve this, your representative scheduled a technician to come today and I quote from the mouth of your representative “GUARANTEED” that our wifi problem would be solved. Not only was that a blatant lie, the wifi is now completely not connected to the internet, it is no longer intermittent on and off, it is completely off. Technicians have come twice to check connections install new routers and said everything should be fine but that is not the case. In addition, the house landline is no longer able to make calls and certain channels on the tv no longer show. NOT ONLY THAT, but I work from home! I have lost an entire day of work today due to virgin media’s poor service and I now must deal with the consequences with my superiors. The longer our virgin wifi is down the more my job is at risk! It is not just my livelihood that depends on good wifi, but my grandparents, who are both OVER 90 YEARS OLD and require reliable and fast wifi and service for communication in the event of a medical emergency, which is now at risk. What happens if there is a serious medical emergency in this heat and no one can call an emergency contact or an ambulance and it's too late? Shall I send virgin the funeral bill at that point? I demand a resolution to this immediately as we are paying the most and receiving less than the bare minimum. Should this matter not be resolved we will have no choice but to escalate this matter. I expect a response with hasteRepeated Unauthorised Netflix Charges on Virgin Media Account – Anyone Else Affected?
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Back in April, a Netflix subscription unexpectedly appeared on my Virgin Media bill. I never signed up for it and have never had a Netflix account linked to my email. I contacted Virgin Media customer service, and to their credit, they removed the charge and recredited my account. I assumed that was the end of it, but the same charge has appeared again on this month’s bill. This time, customer service informed me that they are unable to remove Netflix subscriptions and that I need to resolve the matter with Netflix directly. This is confusing and frustrating, especially since Virgin was previously able to remove the charge themselves. I have no way to contact Netflix, as I don’t have a Netflix account or any email address associated with one. The subscription appears to be entirely tied to my Virgin Media account. I’ve come across several online reports and even media articles highlighting that others have faced similar issues. I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem recently? I’m getting nowhere with Virgin Me dia support and would appreciate any advice or shared experiences. Thanks in advance.Virgin Media refuse to close my account despite confirmed switch to a new provider
Can someone please explain how I leave VM? I have a new provider who have confirmed the switch has been activated and an email from Virgin confirming they have had the switch request and yet I am still receiving VM services and being charges monthly. They are also constantly ringing me about my contract which expired on 08/06/2025 to try to get me to renew at a better rate than the one I should no longer be paying.Unexpected new contract?
Hi, I am writing this in hope of a resolution and an explanation to my issue as I am lost at how to get support. I took out a virgin media contract at my previous address for the 1GB volt package. I moved last year in June to a new house and transferred my package to my new property. I was assured the package & pricing would continue as normal for the remainder of the contract. However, today I received a bill for the FULL package price without my discount as the discount has supposedly run out, however my contract does not end until November. I don’t understand why my contract has not ended and why I am getting charged the full price. This is completely unwarranted and not what I agreed upon. It has definitely tainted my perspective of Virgin Media. I would like my service to either: (1) be cancelled and the original contract honoured, or (2) for the discount to be reinstated for the extended contract length and for the extra amount paid this month to be credited back to me.I haven’t received the return package nor the label
Hi, I have cancelled my services long ago, my services has now also been disconnected and I’m still haven’t received a single email on when to expect the return package and label therefore I’d like to state in writing my dissatisfaction and my refuse to pay any incurring “penalty” you try to put on me as I have even tried several times to ask for a label following the instructions on your webpage however it doesn’t work once clicking on it! “Sorry! Oh, crikey. We can't find that page” that’s the message we get! please rectify this situation asap! Thanks!Can we acknowledge how bad the Virgin Media website is?
Let me just express how bad of a customer experience I've had with your website this afternoon and how this issue has been ongoing for over a year. I'm seriously at the point where I am moving over to another provider at the end of my contract term. I seriously hope you fix your website and customer experience for your future customers. An explanation of my issue This afternoon I thought I would log into my virginmedia.com account and change the date in which my direct debt was paid, an easy task I thought. I went to the Billing Section of the website and saw that there was a button called Manage my Direct Debt which takes you to the page that I've kindly hyperlinked. Instead of what you would expect, a page to manage your direct debt. You're greeted with the image that I've place on the right. So, when this happened I thought I might have a Live Chat with a representative to try and resolve the issue, so I began a live chat. They told me that I should Close my Tab and Login again, which I did. Of course, this closed the chat with the representative and the issue remained. So not only did I still have the issue, but I now didn't have a chat either. I'm not sure if they intentionally did this because they knew it would close their ticket or if it was a genuine attempt to help. So, the next issue — I decided I might try to phone them. But you see, I have very little credit on my phone so this is a pain to do. On the billing page I pressed a button at the bottom which says "No, I need more help" and then I pressed "Call us" which provides a phone number. Before calling, I wanted to check the cost of this call so I pressed a button that says *See our call costs which tries to link you to a PDF that does not exist. Once again you're provided with a new page that says "Sorry, oh crikey. We can't find that page". A conclusion of my issue Your website is filled with bad hyperlinks that lead to documents that have been since removed. Some hyperlinks for important tasks lead to dead pages because your links have not been updated presumably after somebody has done a change. The whole experience is abysmal to the customer and I know I am not the only one. Please, if anybody of importance sees this; please escalate this to somebody who actually has control over the changes on your website. Have them audit the issues that I have mentioned here as well as the many other issues across the website. Try to do basic actions the customer would like to do, because I've ran into repeated issues across your entire website. I've only documented the issue I experienced today, but this has been happening for over a whole year with your website. Through the many versions you've released, there's always something broken. Websites are not normally this dysfunctional. In the end, the simple task I wanted to do never was done. I spent over two hours attempting to do something I thought would take twenty minutes and another hour with this complaint, and I will walk away after three hours completely where I started.Broken account.
My Virgin Media account is broken; it does not let me make any changes. I have tried the website, app, a different browser. It makes no difference. Anytime I try to make a change, it says "Sorry! You are not eligible for this particular offer. Unfortunately you have missed out on this offer but we have plenty of other offerings that you could be interested in." It does not matter if I am trying to upgrade my broadband speed, upgrade TV, manage My Flex Plan, upgrade to Volt etc, no matter what I try it redirects to the following URL and gives the above error. https://www.virginmedia.com/support/help/change-my-package/my-current-package/offers I recently contracted (had the same issue beforehand) and spent quite a while on the phone trying to get this sorted out, but nobody could help me with the issue. At the time, I didn't realise the problems with changing the My Flex Plan, so I figured that while I did want to upgrade to 2Gbps internet, I would stay on the 1Gbps as it wasn't worth the hassle. Something needs to be done to fix my account, and nobody on the phone was able to help, so where do I go from here? I don't care if the account needs to be deleted and set up again, something needs to be done as it can't be left like this!First bill after renewal
I’ve had an absolute nightmare of late. My contract was coming to an end, Virgin contacted me and I ended up accepting a renewal with an upgrade to Virgin 360 plus at long last an upgrade on my hub from the 3 to the 5. So it was supposedly a self install which would take me 15 minutes. What a joke that was - received the kit on the Tuesday engineer had to visit on the Wednesday, Thursday AND Friday - bless him he’d never had such bother and I had 3 days of being inconvenienced and now everything is up and running I’ve had an email saying my next bill is for the ridiculous amount of £186 when it should be £131 (new contract is £120) - I’ve tried phoning but the automated stuff is so infuriating I end up hanging up, I’ve tried chat and they were of no help at all, asked Shiny to have someone call me - I can’t do that as I am the web chat team. Honestly driving me mad!
