VM Outage
Hi, At ~2pm on 7/7 my TV and Broadband service went down, shortly after I noticed a card posted through my letter box stating "we've found a problem", "this time we need to come in to get things finished" and "please quote RPBLOCK" SInce then i have been tracking the issue F011897300 on the VM outage details page, and have watched the estimated fix time slip time after time, with the last 3 being the 15th, today (18th) and now its currently the 23rd @2pm I have logged a complaints, where i was listened to, given excuses and apologies but no fix... i get the impression the call agents just want to get the ticket closed to meet quotas My last call was today, and i am now seriously considering going for breach of contract as this outage will have been over 2 weeks by the 23rd, and is impacting every member of the family, from not being able to WFH, complete homework, online shop or stream TV just name but a few... you dont realise how much its become an integral part of your life till you lose it. Any help in getting a swift resolution to this would be gratefully received... i don't want to leave VM, but my hand is being forced.. Kind Regards.Account is linked to an email address that’s different to the one on your Virgin Media O2 ID.
Hi all - hoping posting here can shed some light on this whole process. I am a new customer with virgin media, and have just been sent all the emails through with my contract etc. on the email address I used to set up the account. The emails said to set up the My Virgin Media account, so I clicked the link and registered my Virgin Media O2 ID account. It then said to link that account to my Virgin Media account, however when I did so, it said that the email accounts don’t match, even though I used the same email address for both: “We’ve found your Virgin Media account However, this account is linked to an email address that’s different to the one on your Virgin Media O2 ID. If you’d like to continue and link your Virgin Media account to your Virgin Media O2 ID, please confirm the full email address your Virgin Media account is currently registered to. We’ll then send an email to that email address to approve the transfer.” So I put my email in (the one from which I received all emails about my contract setup), but it is saying the email address doesn’t match even though I literally copy pasted it from my contract document. It gave me five attempts to put my email in and the same error message came up each time - I now have one attempt left and don’t want to use it in case my account gets blocked. Please could anyone advise on what I’m doing wrong or if this is a glitch or something?? It’s a bit of a niche problem I think, and I couldn’t find anything on the FAQs! I feel like I’m going insane because I’ve checked the email so many times to make sure there are no typos or anything but it’s still not working! I copy and pasted someone else’s message but I’m having this issue and felt like it was no point explaining it worse
Move my router
Hi. I am having a new media wall put in my lounge and need my virgin connections moved. I have tried to use the website and the customer services number to arrange but can’t find the way to do it on either. It would appear from the forum that posting and waiting is the only way? If someone could contact me that would be great. btw. I’m getting a forbidden url on my mac and iPad for the community forum so let’s hope my phone keeps allowing me to go in!Reduce Broadband Speed
Hi, I am not in contract and wish to reduce my broadband speed for a lower monthly bill without agreeing to a new contract, as far as i'm aware i Can Do this. Virgin Media Via the Online Chat & Call Center refuse to do this by ignoring my request and pushing contract deals even when i specifically state NO i Do not want a new contract, they then offer me another contract based deals again and again, i refuse the contract then they hang up. they also kept asking why i did not want a contract not that has anything to do with them. I managed to get through to a non english retentions person that could offer me the M125 Broadband only for £57 per month (no contract), i laughed with disbelief at this point and asked to end my services then he hung up the phone. Please AdviseUnable to link Virgin media account with Virgin02 account
I have been unable to set up the app for VirginMedia as it requires me to link the Virign02 account to the VirginMedia account to do so. They both use the same email address, yet when i type the email address in it tells me that it doesn't match and locks me out after a few attempts. then when I attempt to put in the email address it tells me The account details, area and address are all correct, any assistance fixing this would be great. many thanks,Linking my virgin media account

Impossible to contact about case number
I placed a complaint and received a response. However I would like to discuss further. They claim there is a QR code on the email to use if you wish to contact them but there isn’t. I’ve tried using live chat which just makes things worse and placed yet another complaint. I have transcripts to prove what I was agreeing to. How do I speak to someone relating to a specific case number if there is no QR code?.Broadband Dropouts - slow speed– SYNC Timing Errors
I’m experiencing ongoing broadband dropouts that closely resemble the issues described in the following community threads: Broadband connection keeps dropping SYNC Timing Synchronization failure – Loss of Sync My Virgin Media Hub is currently operating in modem mode, and I’m using an ASUS GT-AX11000 router to manage my home network. The dropouts affect both Wi-Fi and wired (LAN) devices, including critical appliances connected directly to the router. Symptoms include: Sudden and repeated loss of internet connectivity across all devices Devices remain connected to the router but lose access to the internet Dropouts occur randomly, sometimes multiple times per day Router logs show normal operation, suggesting the issue is upstream Given the similarity to the SYNC Timing Synchronization failures described in the community posts, I suspect this may be a signal-level or infrastructure issue. I’ve already: Verified all coaxial and Ethernet connections Updated router firmware Monitored logs and confirmed no local faults Could you please: Review the line signal levels and error logs from your end Confirm whether SYNC or RCS errors are present on the hub Advise if an engineer visit is required to inspect the line or cabinet I’d appreciate your support in resolving it promptly.

Military family here. We lived in an SFA down south and got posted to Cyprus (RAF base, which is British Territory) . I contacted Virgin Media saying that: the area I'm moving to is UNSERVICEABLE by Virgin Media hence by contract no early termination fee should be billed to my name. It is a military posting for the entire family that is outside our control so by contract, Virgin Media should not put a military family under unfair treatment and/or discrimination. Virgin Media is required to waive fees for military FAMILIES. I've explained all this, quoting the covenant, quoting other military spouses whose fees have been waived under such circumstances and the response I got was "I only have paperwork for Serving Person in my office, because the account is under your name you will have to pay". Well, isn't this unfair treatment? the house you provided services for is MOD property, which funny enough is under the Serving Person name, so you charge me, you charge him, you charge us. Webchat was even worse as I got someone who didn't speak any English and his messages made absolutely zero sense. Then I got a really cheeky guy who kept asking me of he could close my complaint. I told him not to close it and what did it do? claimed he resolved it!!!! Absolutely unbelievable how you don't understand that you can be sued for all this and that I can get my husband's Warrant Officer to send you a nice lovely letter as he already had to do this before for other people. You think you can just take advantage of people that's what you think. I expect the bill to be waived as it's legally required. Waiting for you to get in contact.
