Engineer Failed to turn up
I signed up to virgin broadband in November 2025. We were told we needed the external work to go through our back garden, so we would need to wait in for the engineer appointment to run the cable through our garden to the cabinet down the street. However, the engineer has failed to turn up on 3 different occasions (today being one of them), with absolutely no communication. I have waited in all day with the kids and have been unable to leave the house and still no one turns up. Then when I contact virgin to try and rearrange the appointment, it’s another 2-3 week wait. It is January now and we have been without broadband for 3 months, as our old provider disconnected us, when we made to switch, which is totally unacceptable and we’re totally fed up now. Absolutely terrible service from Virgin. All you do is rearrange our appointment, over and over again, but nothing happens. I have lost all faith in your company and I have zero confidence that an engineer will ever actually turn up. Can anyone recommend a more reliable provider, who will actually turn up? I work from home, so I rely on the internet. I also have an autistic son, who needs his tablet to help him communicate and regulate.Installation
I have tried calling the customer care support to report the issue and also arrange for a technician as early as possible or at least cancel the contract if the whole process is not going to work. I cannot be paying for something I am not using and the support is quite unresponsive. Please do reach out so I can cancel the contract at least before I am debited. I need the WiFi urgently and it's obvious virgin media is not going to work for me.Moving home - Contract issue
Hi, I have been a customer with Virgin Media for around 9 years and I was paying for my services "out of contract" meaning I had already paid the minimum term. I recently bought a home and wanted to move my services to my new address, I requested that my services do not change and I just want to move them to the new address. After some back and forth I finally managed to do so - including paying the final bill at my old address and subsequently being double billed at my new address. This didn't bother me too much as I was just glad to have moved the services. I have noticed a huge drop in my internet speed at the new address and decided I wanted to switch provider as paying £69.90 a month for less than 30Mb/s seemed extortionate. Before doing so, I looked at the email I was sent when I moved houses and noticed that it is actually under contract again with a minimum term of 18 months - Is this just my old contract or will I have to pay an for an early disconnection fee of 15 months? Summary Customer for 9 years, paying for services "out of contract" (past the minimum term) Moved houses, requesting no changes to my package Internet speed is worse so wanted to switch provider Checked email I was sent after moving houses to see that I have a minimum term againWayleave
Hi, we are in need of a wayleave agreement with two neighbours. they require digging of the cables but we are having difficulty establishing where this will be. As in agreement with my neighbour they do not want to sign the wayleave without knowing the detailed digging route plan. Why is it so hard for anyone to provide this information. As if the agreement is refused then can virgin not come up with an agreed route which does not require digging under my neighbours grass and just down the sides? has any one had any luck contacting anyone from virgin media or wayleave team as I seem to be going round in circles and they want to send someone out again in two weeks time when that just delays the installation even further (already at 4weeks since ordering) why can’t someone just talk to me on the phone to clarify this information.
