Moving address flashing green light....
Hi, the experience of moving house is hard enough as it is and then you have to spend a whole day trying to get everything working to which you are constantly being told by a robot that your account number is wrong and then that they can't text your number for pointless reasoning this is ridiculous... I have moved house i followed the instructions on the moving house booklet front virgin media and it's not working I have a flashing green light at the bottom... I have tried everything suggested and when trying to call apparently my account number is wrong and it won't proceed half the time when it does they say they can't message me and hang up.... when trying to do the connection stuff that is on the website it does it for the previous address....Moving house, trying to reset password
Attempting to move my broadband to my new address, so attempting to log on to virgin media. Password not accepted. When I try to reset, no email is received. Currently on hold on the phone for 20 minutes, there must be an easier way to do this?10Views0likes1CommentSuch a challenge to get credit back after closing account
Every time I need to interact with Virgin Media, I am surprised at the new ways they find to creatively and politely be unhelpful. Due to moving house, I recently closed my account. I am moving to an area that does not have Virgin broadband coverage. There is a not insignificant (to me) amount of credit on my account from ending in the middle of a billing cycle. By default, after 45 days from service disconnection, Virgin Media sends credits as a check via post. Naturally, as I am no longer at the address, getting post delivered to me there is not an option. I called request my credit via bank transfer. That's the method I've used to pay this bill for years. I was told that not only to I need to wait 45 days after termination of service (a scandal in an of itself for the interest free loan), I cannot even call to REQUEST to have the credit deposited vice posted until 45 days after account termination. Has anyone had a better experience getting over-payment credits back? In short, even after ending service, Virgin Media has found yet another way to be obtuse and anti-consumer.13KViews0likes4CommentsHELP! WiFi installation won’t work
Hi, I moved flat and am having issues installing WiFi. I submitted a move request and activated my services on Saturday but I get a green blinking light on my router with no internet connection. I assume I’m using the correct cable etc (see pics). Please let me know if I’m doing anything obviously wrong. Thanks, ChrisMoving House - Put on new contract without my consent
Hello, from what I can see, this is unfortunately a very common issue. I see others have had some success in posting here so I am doing so. Today I tried to cancel my virgin media broadband contract as it was about to shoot up to £50 a month and we are at the end of the minimum term. I was very surprised to be told I would owe £500 in termination fees as I was partway through a contract. When I asked about this, I was informed that when I moved house in October, I was put onto a new contract rather than the old one amended to my new address. I had no changes to my package, the only thing that changed was my address and I was reassured this wouldn't be a problem. I was then stuck between picking one of the three options: 1. Pay £500 to exit the contract I never agreed to, to my knowledge I was still using the old one I did consent to, 2. Pay £50 for this month's broadband whilst I try and fix this error 3. Start a new, crappy expensive contract for throttled speeds which is what I've done as I cannot afford a £500 termination fee I never consented to, £50 a month per broadband and I work from home and so need an internet connection. Upon looking into it, apparently my new contract should have been amended to the old term dates when I moved but this never happened. I would like to exit my contract and end the new one I've been forced to start as I can get 500mpbs for £32 elsewhere. I was also really displeased with being frequently told I should stay with Virgin Media as changing providers is a hassle and they are investing in infrastructure when the agent knew full well they had just informed me I apparently have no choice but to stay with Virgin Media. Really would like this sorted, never had such a horrific experience with a broadband company before today.805Views0likes1Comment
