Armed Forces Covenant - Virgin Media Breaching Contract
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.Delays delays and further delays
How can Virgin Media get away with providing such poor service - its one lie after another, and I can see I am not the only one - the same thing is happening to many people, yet nothing seems to be getting done about it. My original order was placed on 7th May 2025, with an installation date provided for 19th May 2025. However, no one attended the scheduled appointment, and since then, I have been given multiple revised installation dates, each accompanied by a different excuses. Most recently, I have been informed of issues with outside construction work – work which was previously claimed to have been completed but is now apparently still pending. In addition to the delays, I have repeatedly been asked to remain at home to provide access to the property. Despite doing so, no engineers have turned up, wasting my time and disrupting my schedule further. Today I have been provided with yet another installation date, now 8th July 2025 - so the pattern is clear, keep me waiting, as soon as it gets near the latest date, just push it back without any discussion. I find the lack of communication, reliability, and professionalism in handling this installation completely unacceptable. I have spoken to multiple managers, each providing their own guarantees that have resulted in nothing. I have 3 separate complaint numbers - none of which have been updated or tracked I really don't know what more I can do - I have a pending holiday with no security systems on the house - my doorbell doesn't even work!Broken account.
My Virgin Media account is broken; it does not let me make any changes. I have tried the website, app, a different browser. It makes no difference. Anytime I try to make a change, it says "Sorry! You are not eligible for this particular offer. Unfortunately you have missed out on this offer but we have plenty of other offerings that you could be interested in." It does not matter if I am trying to upgrade my broadband speed, upgrade TV, manage My Flex Plan, upgrade to Volt etc, no matter what I try it redirects to the following URL and gives the above error. https://www.virginmedia.com/support/help/change-my-package/my-current-package/offers I recently contracted (had the same issue beforehand) and spent quite a while on the phone trying to get this sorted out, but nobody could help me with the issue. At the time, I didn't realise the problems with changing the My Flex Plan, so I figured that while I did want to upgrade to 2Gbps internet, I would stay on the 1Gbps as it wasn't worth the hassle. Something needs to be done to fix my account, and nobody on the phone was able to help, so where do I go from here? I don't care if the account needs to be deleted and set up again, something needs to be done as it can't be left like this!Broadband is down for 6 days!
Just wondering what is happening with VM that they cannot fix an issue for six days in W3 London area? Anybody else experiencing this? They keep promising to fix it every day and customer service was absolutely dreadful. I’m still within 14 days grace period after signing to your contract. Considering to leave and use 5g with Three (much cheaper) any suggestions?Issues with Wi-Fi
Hello, My Hub4 router keeps intermittently cutting out. It ends up coming back with the flashing light. It happens at least once every hour or two. This includes wireless and wired connections. I have tested different wires, I'm really not sure what to do. When i use the diagnostic tool it has issues with the broadband and the TV, but it's been going on for at least a week at this point and it says if it persists for 24 hours an engineer will come out. Any help would be appreciated, ThanksEmbarrassingly slow speed
My internet speed the last few weeks has been incredibly slow compared to what it was before. Typically I have been able to break at least 50mb/s on my computer but as of the last few weeks I can barely break 20mb/s with occasional dips to <10mb/s for considerable periods of time. I have gone through each step typically recommended on the status check website including: resetting the router, changing position and re-plugging. I've even tried alternative methods like changing my DNS IP on the computer to see if that was the issue but to no avail. If anyone could please look into my router for me I would really appreciate it. I can provide the name account holder and additional details if needed. I will also confirm that this is not an issue with my computer as the Wi-Fi is also very slow even when I'm right next to the router. FYI I use an ethernet cable. Mod Edit : Image removedAddress not listed or serviceable but exchange box is just next to my home
Please help! Hello I am in the same frustrating situation all my neighbours on the other side of our street are listed and already have virgin.

I have had an email stating that my hub can be upgraded from hub 3 to hub 4 at no extra cost. The email says click here to get it now, but when I click the link it sends me to the service status page and there is no option to order a hub. I tried talking to someone on the chat window but they said I can only have one if I pay to upgrade. Am I missing something??Unable to register for an online account
I'm unable to register for a my new virgin media account as it doesn't recognise my details I see this is a common issue and telephone support are unable to help, and that Virgin Media employees on the forum have been able to rectify problems. Please could I get help to resolve this issue thanks
