New 18-month contract but overcharged!
On 24th June 2025 I entered into an 18-month broadband & TV contract at £43.22 per month. I have since been billed £77.18 three times. I have been overcharged by £101.88 (3 times £33.96).How do I get this money back? How do I get some compensation? How do I get billed correctly? I’ve tried the chat-bot (useless) tried 0345 454 1111 and got links to a bill breakdown or how to change direct debit date (no humans, no sense). Agreed to WhatsApp chat (no response).
Connect App Can’t Find Hub 5
I recently switched over from Sky; I self-installed my Hub 5 about three weeks ago. The broadband works fine. However, whenever Iog onto the VM Connect App, it is unable to find my hub. I have been through the loop of installing the Hub over and over again. I’ve deleted the app and re-installed it, turned the Hub off and on again, checked that no VPN is running, turned off the Private Relay on my iPhone, turned off WiFi assist, updated my phone’s software, but still get the same results. I wanted to run the Home Scan function, as my signal is weak in parts of the house. Also wanted to see what the app actually does, as it’s currently just using up storage space for no reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Activating Volt benefits
Good morning :) A few weeks ago, my service with Virgin Broadband started and early last week I got an email from O2 (who I have been a customer with for years) saying they have activated my Volt benefits. I can see I now have the increased data limit on my O2 account. I am yet to hear anything from Virgin about the extra benefits though. The update came from O2 because I had to manually prompt them about something (I was having trouble with the app) and thought to ask off the back of it. We have attempted to follow the guidance with the My Virgin Media app, but I'm stuck in a loop and I am unable to find a way to activate the benefits as mentioned. It could be that the address format isn't matching up correctly (it doesn't allow me to format them the same way for both O2 and Virgin) but I have read there is a way for this to be manually activated on Virgin's end. Is there anyone here who can help me activate my Volt benefit? Many thanks!No internet for 4 days now
A technician cut our cable without warning or explanation outside my home on Thursday (31st July) I called Virgin Media the same day to inform them of this to which they said an engineer would show up the following morning (Friday) to fix the issue but no one showed up. My household has been left without any internet for 4 days and my household members are having to pay out of pocket for data. The next available engineer visit is on the 8th which is simply unacceptable. Automatic compensation hasn’t been applied to my account either despite me informing a rep on 31st July about this issue. Terrible service all around and I’m very displeased. I’d appreciate if a rep could escalate this for me as soon as possible.Hub 5 password problem
Hello, I have been trying to access my new hub to change some settings but for the life of me, I cannot read what a certain character is on the bottom of the router. I have tried 8, e, and an a, all with no success. Each time I get the password wrong, it gets longer before I can enter another. Here’s hoping someone can help because this is very frustrating now.Nightmare situation that’s been going on for months .
Over the last couple months our WiFi has been going out daily . We’ve have been having an engineer come out every 2/3 weeks and nothing seems to improve. All the drop outs have been related to T3 timeouts. Last night we had 60+ in a space of half a hour . We have had multiple normal & senior technicians and they all seem to say the same thing “I replaced some wires” at this point I’m not sure what to do . Any help is appreciated. This originally started 5+ months ago . In addition our software got downgraded from V5.1 to V4.1 this seemed to lower the drop outs but we still get Atleast once a day . This happens to every devices wired or not .
Pulling my hair out over this service
I am already with Virgin on broadband. On the 11th I signed up to Volt O2 sim and cancelled my sim in EE. Yesterday I received an email from 'Virgin Media Websales'. The email said "We'd like to talk to you as it appears that some information that we need to process your order was missing. This will help us take the next steps towards getting signed up, so just call our team on 0845 650 4500." I tried this number and it didn't work, it says its no longer in use. I tried calling Virgin but the switchboard kept taking me round and round in circles without letting me speak to a bloody human!! And then it hung up telling me I can get help online!! I tried the VM webchat and the unhelpful person on the other side took 10 mins each reply just to tell me they cant help and I need to talk to someone at O2. I called their support and they said they cant find anything under my name, number or email on their end and to contact Virgin!!! I am literally at my wits end with this customer service and about ready to take up EE's offer to stay with them and cancel my broadband here too. They will pay for cancellation fees and all. Can someone please help me sort this issue out as the alternative is me going to the FOS for a complaint and cancelling my service with Virgin.Hitron down stream/up stream
So my VM business Hitron router has been flashing green on the DS and US labeled areas for a couple of days now. I have also interchanged it with a different Hitron and when that happens DS and US are solid green and then status starts to flash green. I am able to connect to WiFi no problem but then the WiFi is un able to connect to the internet i have seen that this usually happens when there’s an update but it has been WAY longer than how long an update should take
