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.Can I change mid contract
Hello, This is probably common but I can't find my answer. We're on our second round of M125, currently at £35. The M350 is currently advertised for £27. Can I snag this deal even if I pay the exit fee? If there's one. I see it as if I still save overall more per month compared to the exit fee, it's a win1.5KViews0likes12CommentsFaster Upload speed
Hi all My contract is coming up to finish shortly and I'm looking to get symmetrical speeds, How do I find out if this is available to me? If its not available then ill need to move away from Virgin considering I could pay the same to another company and get the symmetrical speeds I desire.

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.New contract not appearing in account
I renewed my contract in February and received an email confirming the renewal and an additional email with contract documents. However, when I log into MyVirgin this is not reflected in my account, instead it offers me the option my soon to-be expired current contract. Its also citing the new cost of my broadband in March as what was set in the current contract, not in the new contract I signed up for in February. Does anyone else have this issue?88Views0likes1CommentService 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, Ted1.9KViews0likes1CommentMoving 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 againUp to 1Gb/s Internet speed contract Ireland
Hi Team, For the past few days I have been getting between 20Mb-30Mb download speeds. This is a farcry from the "up to 1000Mb" I should be getting. I understand its unrealistic to get 1000Mb but I've never hit over 550Mb. I am on a wired ethernet connection about 3 meters away from the Cable. My contract is about ~1 month old. The chat support doesnt actually go anywhere im convinced there are no agents even working on the live chat as the bot just keeps looping. How can I improve my speeds if support is IMPOSSIBLE to contact + How do I view what my minimum guaranteed speed is I cant see it ANYWHERE on my contract.635Views0likes1CommentMultiple Internet losses daily, up to 30 x 4 min
I get up to 30 "Internet not available" sessions of around four minutes each time. I have used short and long resets, no change. Reduced the devices, no change. It's almost better to hot-spot my phone than use this now. Had an engineer booked yesterday, that magically cancelled and was booked today. If I'm in and they fail to show, do I get £25? I'm at the point of needing this contract cancelled. It's 1Gig, Hub5, but it's appalling. I have to work from home and it can't hold a connection long enough to Teams or keep connected to central files, it compromises my security system and I have no idea what to try next!706Views0likes5CommentsWayleave
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.877Views0likes2Comments
