Cancelled engineer visit and lying about the service
So my broadband has been out since yesterday, the Hub3 is showing the WiFi light on green and the status bar flashing green. I arranged an engineer. Got an email just now saying they've cancelled the engineer because it's a fault in the area, then an email to say it should be working now - and it isn't. And now I have to wait longer for an engineer. Thanks for lying to me Virgin.Internet is down after moving house.
I have recently moved house and plugged the router in l, however we don't have Internet access. I am able to connect to the router but the router itself does not have Internet access. Hub-5 says that the Internet (Access Denied) and I'm unsure why. I have been on the phone with customer service and each and every person I have come into contact with thus far has tried to solve the issue a little, then upon realising they don't know how to solve it, sent me back onto the queue and got another person on the phone. Rinse and repeat for hours. I'm trying to remain patient and collected, but this is a consistent problem I have and it is starting to wear me down. I want my Internet access issue resolved first and foremost, but I am also close to closing my account if this treatment continues.Service outages on 150+ days in 14 months - is this normal?
Hi all, I am really hoping anyone can advise me what to do or has experienced similar issues (though I wouldn't wish this on anyone). I have had fibre with this utterly useless company since September 2023. I have experienced more service outages than I ever imagined to be possible in the last 14 months. Some days it doesn't work for a few minutes, other days its hours (1-14, the sky's the limit with them) and when it's especially bad it can them them days to fix this. Yes, DAYS. They keep sending their stupid update texts saying it is now fixed bla bla bla, but it obviously never is. At this point I believe it is an area issue that will not get solved anytime soon, if ever. I want to leave my contract, which ends end of March 2025 and have sent them a long complaint via email. Got a lovely AI response claiming the issue was fixed. Nope, it was not. Neither did they respond to my request to end this contract by the end of the year nor did they mention my request for compensation. I spoke to them on the chat today where all my questions were basically ignored. Getting hold of them on the phone is mission impossible. Has anyone had similar issues and can tell me how they went about it and what the outcome was? The thought of being with them for another 4 months is unbearable to me. Performing my job from home has become a real challenge and I don't get how they can get away with this. Thank you all in advance! Best, TedTotal loss of service for 8 weeks
Hello community, I feel like this is the last turn to take and I hope someone can help. case reference: C-2509241726 We haven’t had internet since our contract started 8 weeks ago. we have had 4 technicians visit, each one said they can’t help. we’ve spent 165 minutes on the phone to Virgin media help center over 15 different conversations. Countless e-mails backward and forward with the email resolutions team I expect close to 20. In the first days of the issue the problem was promised to be fixed on 18th September. now we are 8 weeks down the line and I am pulling my hair out. No one can give me a real answer of what the next steps are. we work from home and the data on our mobile phones keeps running out and only provides a poor connection. every call or email or WhatsApp with the Virgin media help team we have to start the story new, telling the person the situation and then they basically say oh just wait longer or oh I’ll send a technician, but none of these solutions are working, we have been so so so patient but I honestly don’t know how I can wait any longer. i need to know what is happening and when I will have my internet finally! One excuse we have heard is that the cables under the road / pavement have been cut, but our Neighbour 2 doors down has a Virgin media connection working fine. This topic has consumed my life for far too long with a repulsive customer service, this case has been handled disgracefully by any standards, let alone a reputable company. please someone, look into the case properly and help me find a solution.CATV cover
Hi I have a CATV cover outside the front of our house I've asked the council to drop the kerb but v/m need to inspect the cover for it to be moved or changed in some way. I've paid the required fee but no inspection has taken place. I have been weighing 2 months and I've only a contract at the council and keep being told its v/m’s delay and to just wait can someone help or advise. regardsHave spent over 4 hours trying to order a pod, terrible experience.
Hi, We recently had Virgin come by door to door, really nice sales guy who offered a deal which was half the price of our current package with BT and 10x the speed, we were already thinking of leaving BT so decided to go with it. At the time they said as we are on o2 we'd get upgraded to 1GB and we'd get 3 free pods. I think there is simply a bit of disconnect between sales and engineering as the engineer didn't leave any pods and when asked seemed very reluctant. I actually wasn't here at the time of the install so couldn't speak with him directly. We connected the o2/VM accounts to activate Volt and got the double data on o2 quickly (matter of days if that), and I ordered a pod over the phone which took around an hour. Waited a few weeks and nothing turned up, I honestly just assumed they were busy/used an economy postal service to send it. Anyway it turns out because volt hadn't been activated on the Virgin side somehow (even though it was working on o2 side) so they auto cancelled the pod and didn't tell us. Having no idea this had happened and that volt wasn't activated finally got it setup when I called to ask why the pod hadn't arrived, and was told in 24 hours we could order a new pod via WhatsApp. Spent another hour on hold on WhatsApp today only to be told they can't order it because it's a hub 5x. Whilst the price is a lot better than our previous supplier which is good, the customer service has been pretty atrocious and has required a lot of chasing on my end and time spent on hold trying to get through (probably at 5+ hours now) just to order a pod so I can use the internet on my PC (my PC doesn't have a wifi card and previously I used BT discs with an ethernet connection as that was also more stable) has been really frustrating, especially when we thought it was all arranged and no one told us otherwise. Really not sure if anyone can help here, but was advised by other customers to try posting here. Many thanks NickFrustrated beyond belief and ready to go ombudsman
Dear community. Help please. Long story short : Broadband service transferred away in Jan. Official request to cancelled received by Virgin 3 Feb 2024. All information provided confirmed by Virgin home movers team. currently today 24 June 2024 I am still receiving bills chasing for debt for each month. Home mover advised they needed to get a manager to approve refund due to the large value. This was over a month ago. Promised to call back . Ha. Should have known better! Its been over a month now since that last call. Can’t email. Can’t access online account. And still no refund or confirmation of account cancellation. I have had their debt centre chasing me and they can’t or are not willing to help. I’m ready to go ombudsman now to report this. Any email address I can try one final time for Virgin Media before I go Ombudsman route?I’ve had it with virgin
This is the worse experience I’ve ever had with broadband and regret renewing my contract with virgin. For the past month there has been no/intermittent internet. All trouble shooting has been tried and virgin site advises it’s an issue in the area. There have been dates since the beginning of the month advising when it will be fixed but it never gets fixed. I’ve made 3 complaints now and almost everyday for the past 10 days I’ve been speaking to virgin where they advise the issue will be fixed. I work from home and have to use my phone hot spot in order to work. I’ve registered loss of service twice but the option is no longer there. I think what annoys me the most is the lies that it will be fixed when it won’t and hasn’t been fixed. What exactly am I paying for. I’m so grateful that when I upgraded my phone with three network that I picked unlimited internet as I would not be able to work now if I hadn’t.
