Telephone issue
I currently have two telephone numbers, with both phones plugged into my Hub. My TV package ends soon, so I contacted VM via chat to get options. The package I was offered supposedly contained everything I have currently but on checking I noticed that "+1 Additional Line" was missing. When I queried this with the agent I was told that I could not have two lines. Even when I explained I already had two, and gave the phone numbers, I was still told I couldn't have two numbers at renewal. This is the copy-and-paste from the transcript: "the additional landline was proffitable for us only as you would be paying to us, but as we have no further availability, so we are unable to provide the services further. Otherwise, why I would not get you the addon service when you are paying for it." Can anyone explain why I supposedly cannot have something that I already have? Thanks.26Views0likes1CommentWorst Customer Service
I have been trying to sort out my account for over 3 months and have never had such a debacle. Had 2 different contracts, spoke to numerous employees and still can't resolve basics. Thought I had it all sorted last month with another new contract but yet again Virgin promised much but delivered nothing. Spent over 2 hours on the phone that time and now just spent 40 mins then I got passed to my 3rd agent who promptly cut me off deliberately. Has anyone else ever dealt with such a poor organisation who are completely inept? So, infuriating when the staff employees cannot read previous notes or don't listen to you? Then pass you onto another agent where you have to keep on repeating yourself endlessly. Anyone from Virgin got the courtesy to try and sort this out? Rather than on of your Employees who said best thing to do was leave, I am starting to think I should have followed his advice.97Views0likes6CommentsPoor signal Hub3
Firstly I am not the best with technology and understand jargon and to be honest have little patience so jargon for dummies please. We have HUB 3, modern way of living everything is done via apps , on your phone and wireless, there is no getting away from it. we are on M250 broadband. Have virgin for landline and broadband .got TV but basic as it was cheaper , yeah go figure but don’t use it as we have SKY TV. RING doorbell, HIVE and the smart TV frequently goes down with loss of signal/poor connectivity/weak signal. i know they say don’t have routers next to TVs or phone etc but come on, no one’s is running a wire for their hub to sit in the middle of a room away from these things. So yes TV on console unit, router under 1.5feet away on shelf sitting next to virgin box, sky box and telephone. House has an extension and in it those RCB steel joist things, so I have had to use or try and use an extender upstairs in hall, and for boys Xbox’s I had to get a power line that’s router to socket behind and then they have the other side in the rooms from Socket. i didn’t think we had that many things , I’d say we have 4 phones, 2 Xboxes and 3 laptops…however the app says we have 21 items connected. So you forget you have fire sticks, alexa’s, smart lights Alex operates in boys rooms, ring doorbell bell , cameras and chime, hive thing and thermostat for boiler the TVs themselves, so yeah there is a lot using WiFi. so I wondered about upgrading to the m500, on app our current package ends apr 26. I didn’t know was this increase till end of package or is it going to be another 18months and does that mean the current price changes and more than doubles in April as not paying that but the advisor on chat couldn’t answer that, could offer me the m500 at £72 a month, eh mate I click on the app for £7.85 a month so £42 why would I pay £72..they were sorry to hear that! anyway digressed, weak signal does anyone know as the advisor couldn’t confirm , would moving to m500 make the signal strength any better to stop things disconnecting ? If It does help and i do move to pay the extra 7.85 is that only till this contract end April or is it 18 months and what would the price be, current 35 add on m500 would be 42 but saying from April 2026 80- not a hope in hells chance If m500 wouldn’t help with weak signal -even now on my phone sitting 4feet away from Hub it’s only 2 bars - then is my Options to just grin and bear it till end of contract and move broadband to SKY as they already have me for TV.?!?! anyone have any ideas as it’s going to get worse the more modern technology has eventhing via WiFi. God help me if they make me get a smart meter as I presume that will need to connect also LOLSolved480Views0likes23CommentsCan't access my virgin media account or email.
This has been an ongoing issue for months. Everytime I try to sign in or even register I get the message saying. This Virgin Media email address isn’t valid. I have phoned up support twice who were no help at all, they just said it's an error their end on the first occasion, second time they told me someone would call me within 5 working days. A month later and still nothing.183Views0likes3CommentsUnacceptable amount of disconnecting and bad connection
For months now, my connection is constantly dropping or is very spotty and my upload speed, which I need, has become none existent. I've already has 2 engineer visits out, one who didn't even know how to work his own pad and another coming this Saturday, each time they say they can't find a fault in the house or the street and it's definitely not my PC, as it happens on every device. I work from home, so I need it fixed or it may be time to switch ISP.81Views0likes2CommentsCan't move my Virgin - told my new address is for a business... but it isn't!
Hello. I'm trying to move my Virgin Media broadband and TV to a new flat, but am being told they can't do it, as the address is registered for a business. But the address can be found straight away when using the Virgin Media residential postcode checker, and I called a couple of times a few months back to double check the move would be no problem, before I bought the flat! It is just a standard flat, and no business is run out of it. The woman in the call centre gave me the business number, but it won't let me speak to anyone. I just want the address converted to residential, so I can have my connection moved. Please help.New customer - acc not linking to VM app
I placed an order for TV and broadband on 29/10/25. Unfortunately VM didn’t add a phone line therefore this required me having to cancel and redoing the whole order! The issue is that my account isn’t showing my correct order. It’s displaying the first order, which has already been cancelled. I’ve spoken to customer services but they don’t seem to know what to do? Can someone please help me? I’m losing hope. Why is everything so complicated? At this point, I’m considering cancelling everything and sticking with my current provider. I’ve been on the phone nonstop for the last three days!15Views0likes2CommentsClosing bill Not Received

Hi, My contract was up for renewal, so using the MyVirginMedia app I accepted a renewal deal and received email confirmation with the Contract Information Sheet. I spoke to someone earlier today as I was told my account was not showing the update and he said that, as he was unable to match the deal offered online, I just needed to wait 14 days for it to appear. I then received an email this evening saying 'We'd like to talk to you as it appears that some information that we need to process your order was missing'. So I called again and the lady told me she was unable to match the online offer so she would transfer me to another team who would be able to help. Whilst on hold the call was ended by the team before I could speak to someone. Please can someone contact me urgently to resolve this issue and ensure my deal is activated.

Hi there, I was wondering if virgin media send engineers to tidy external and exposed cables on the outside of houses/flats? As in the building I live in, virgin coax fibre cables have been added over the years as residents have signed up to virgin media. However this piecemeal approach means too many wires are connected into single wall boxes along the building, with damaged/missing brown protective boxes/boxes zip tied etc. See photos attached, looks rubbish. Could do with replacing some boxes/rewiring connectors and tidying the cable runs as exposed connections will get damaged/weathered, cables can fall/be tripped over etc. based in Redland, Bristol, UK
