Unable to use my new router due to cut cable
Hi Virgin Media community, I have been trying repeatedly to get assistance from Virgin on getting my new internet set up, I have written up a full timeline of the events thus far in trying to get this working: 22nd December - Signed up for Virgin Media, Gigabit plan. Informed that there should be existing connections available so I should be able to set everything up myself. 27th December - Received the router, tried plugging it in but it doesn't work. Followed the cable and found it had been cut by a workman at some point. Called up Virgin Media for assistance and they said they will send out a technician ASAP. 29th December - Technician arrives, while she is friendly and helpful she is unfortunately unable to set up our internet as we are in a third floor flat and a cherry picker is required to replace the damaged cable, it needs to be re-run from the outside. I'm told I should receive a call at some point to arrange this. 5th January - I received no calls so I call Virgin Media myself in the hopes of getting someone sent out that has the correct equipment to fix this issue, I repeatedly inform the agent that I am on the third floor and so need someone to come out that can reach us. 8th January - Virgin Media sends the same technician as last time, she leaves but says she will try to get the correct technician sent out, so I should expect a follow up phone call or email. I waited a few days but received nothing. 11th January - I once again rang Virgin Media myself and stressed the need for a cherry picker as I am on the third floor. The previous technician has put this in capital letters on a note on my account, I am told by the support agent that they are sending the correct person this time. 16th January - Virgin Media sends the same technician a third time, she tells me that she will try to get someone else to come instead. She ends up arriving herself and takes photos for a survey so she has evidence that additional equipment is necessary. It has almost been a month and I am as yet to use a single second of my internet that I have just signed up for, I'm getting very frustrated at the thought of once again having to try and battle with the customer support agent to try and get someone sent that has the correct equipment to actually run this cable for me. Does anyone know what steps I need to take next? If it is impossible to get this set up is it still possible for me to cancel my subscription? If so, how? Thanks for your time.
Moved home, account not activated, and account inaccessible. No WiFi 2 days in.
I’ve recently moved home and had let virgin media know ahead of time. The place already has Virgin installed so only required a quickstart and I brought my equipment with me. Day 1, no WiFi, no option to activate. Called CS they advised 24 hours. 24 hours go by, no WiFi. call again, CS refused to proceed with the conversation because of security questions around the new account that I’ve received no letters/correspondence for. Can’t confirm the bill amount or due date as the account isn’t even showing in My Virgin Media, only my old account showing as closed. rang back 10 minutes later and this time they were happy to speak and put me through to a manager without the security questions for the new property. Advised the kit was still active at old address and they would manually transfer and would only take a few hours. Another 24 hours later still nothing. I have no WiFi, and I can’t talk to anyone about it because I can’t confirm the details of an account I’ve never seen or had access to. has anyone else had similar issues with moving home? Anyways to navigate the abhorrent customer service team?Netlfix and account settings
Hi I signed up in November and package to include Netflix. I did receive an email for netlfix to swop my account over. DOESNT work and I am still being billed separately for Netlfix. Any ideas how to resolve, speak to someone. And secondly my account settings have never worked, reported and still unresolved. Nothing seems to work well with as in the app is useless not able to speak to anyone to get anything resolved. Any advise on contacts? ThanksAklamio referral
I referred my dad to virgin media in June last year. His services were set up, all working since June. We were both supposed to receive our £50 each referral reward within 13 weeks but despite contacting both VM and aklamio, the rewards are still pending some 7 months on. All I keep getting as a response from aklamio is that it is down to vm to authorise the payment and they can’t help to speed it up and all I get from virgin media is to refer me to contact aklamio, which I have done multiple times. I’m sick of chasing, being passed from one to the other and getting nowhere! My aklamio referral portal is activated, as is my dads, the payments are pending but nothing more happens. This issue needs solving or I am going to have to refer it to the ombudsman.Use a device you've signed in on before
I am the Virgin Media account holder attempting to sign on to My Account and been met with "Use a device you've signed in on before". I have used this device before, I do not have a VPN and I am using the Virgin Media conection. I am not sure why you want to make it so difficult to access My Account to pay bills and view upgrades...Residential address registered as business
Hi, I have been told my address is currently registered as a business address. It’s a 5 bedroom detached property, there is no business here. Customer service and sales have said that they can manually override this, (which is what they have done in the past as there is Virgin HBB and tv currently live at the address), but I would really rather it be changed to residential to avoid having to jump through these hoops! Thanks, EmmaEmail address linked to old account
I have just rejoined Virgin Media. I am still using the same email address as my old account. This therefore means that every time I login to My Virgin Media App I’m met with my old deactivated account meaning I can’t make an changes, or see any of my new account details or package contents. Can you help please?Disconnected Despite Renewing
Long story short, i handed in my cancelation in line with the 30 days notice at the start of December 2025. My last day would be 11th January. I received an offer to renew through email on 22nd December of which i accepted. Nothing updated on my system. Over the next 2 weeks i rang Virgin 3 times and spoke to 3 different people who all reassured me my connection will not disconnect and the new contract will take over. Fast forward to today, 12th of January 2026 and my services are off. I have phoned virgin this morning asking what had happened. I told them i called 3 times over the last 2 weeks to make sure this does not happen as i work from home and so does my wife so the broadband is required! (I have full tv / broadband /phoneline etc). They managed to reactivate this however this can now take 24-48 hours for everything to be back up and running. We have been unable to work due to this. It will reactivate at our normal contract price. They have said once it is back up and running give it 24 hours and call us back and we can honour your renewal. Has anyone else had such an issue and how long was it till your services were restored and contract updated? Any help would he appreciated. I am stressed because if is not back on in time i wont be able to work tomorrow either
