Install issues, repeated delays
Hi, I’m looking for some advise on how to proceed. Having signed up for Virgin Media broadband install on the 14th April I have now had three different install dates, each of which has subsequently been changed. Far from ideal as I’ve booked a day of work each time. I’m now being told that the service will be installed ‘by’ the 1st July. This is an incredibly long time and of course ‘by’ isn’t a date, so I still don’t know when this service will be available and based on previous promises I'm expecting it to be pushed back again. Emails Virgin have sent me stating that the service will be ‘up and running in no time’ are meaningless. I need to see if I can speed this up as I’d made work arrangements based on the service being running, and now it’s not. The web chat is frustrating with waits between sentences measured in multiple minutes and ultimately learning nothing from them anyway. So, the question is, is there something I can do to cut through this current stagnation and get things moving? Thanks in advance for any advice.Cable installed into a bathroom without permission to a property we don't own
We are buying a house which we have exchanged contracts on and are completing the purchase August 1st. We told VM, and arranged an install for a few days later. They said there may be works "in the road" ahead of the install date which was fine. The people we are buying the house from have contacted the agents to say that VM have been while they are out and installed a cable by cutting the tarmac drive without any permission. They have also drilled into the house, directly into a bathroom and damaged the tiles. They narrowly missed pipes! The sellers are rightly angry, and so am I. Am I right in saying that this is criminal damage? In my mind I want not only the cable putting in the right place, but also the driveway resurfacing and the tiling redone. I am frankly furious. The complaints team said that they will "send the crew back to fix it" but I've had to say no for at least 8 days because they don't have permission to be there. Does anyone have any advice?Ordered a self-install kit and found no Virgin Wall Socket
Hi, I recently ordered a self-install kit for my home. It was recommended by the system, so I thought there should be a socket. However, I spent 3 hours at home looking for the Virgin Wall Socket. But I couldn't find it. So can you please help me with this? Thank you.VM connect app keeps asking 'are you at home?' when attempting to use home scan
I recently installed VM broadband and TV, and I can connect to the router (hub 5) with my phone and the VM stream box, but he VM connect app keeps asking 'are you at home?' whenever I attempt to use the home scan function - although I am already connected to the hub. I have tried rebooting the router and reinstalling the app but it makes no difference. I have also used different devices (iphone and ipad) but it is still the same. I'm not running any VPNs. I have already seen that at least one other person on this community is having this same problem. Can someone from CS please respond?Broadband
So virgin can issued broadband to the house opersite my front door .. but don’t issue it to my house I think it’s because my adress is on a private road .. I spoke to two engineers outside my property as the box for the coms is outside my house and they both said it would be easy to do it as just run a line up the wall and into the house - I’ve been on the phone to virgin and explained I’ll pay for a engineers time to come to my house and see what is available and what they can do and she said she asked the question but because my adress isn’t on the the checker they can’t do that - inside the box on the door there was a list of properties and my adress was on there and all the addresses of the private road. What option have I got to get them to to do me broadband I’m currently with sky and because my house is big the WiFi is awful I get 70mpb but most of time I’m using my own 5g because it doesn’t work.Moving address flashing green light....
Hi, the experience of moving house is hard enough as it is and then you have to spend a whole day trying to get everything working to which you are constantly being told by a robot that your account number is wrong and then that they can't text your number for pointless reasoning this is ridiculous... I have moved house i followed the instructions on the moving house booklet front virgin media and it's not working I have a flashing green light at the bottom... I have tried everything suggested and when trying to call apparently my account number is wrong and it won't proceed half the time when it does they say they can't message me and hang up.... when trying to do the connection stuff that is on the website it does it for the previous address....Can't join VM as address doesn't appear
Tldr: just moved into a house and I can't get VM as the address doesn't appear online & when calling they also said there is no service to that property. Every other house on the street has VM and upon moving in...there's a VM point on the house... Welcome any advice. ThanksDelays 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!Desperate for Support – Ongoing Virgin Media Availability Issue (##, N4 4RP)
Hi There, I hope you're doing well. I’m reaching out because I’ve truly run out of options and feel quite frustrated after waiting over three years for Virgin Media service. Strangely, your website shows availability at flat b, which is just one floor below me in the same building. Although they are not currently using the service, they are eligible—yet I'm repeatedly told that my flat is "nit serviceable" with no clear reason or resolution. I've contacted support multiple times, but I feel like no one genuinely cares or takes ownership of this issue. I'm writing to you out of sheer desperation—because no one seems willing to investigate or offer a proper explanation, and I’ve been left completely in the dark. I understand you're busy, but I’d really appreciate it if you could take a moment to help me escalate this internally, or connect me with someone in the technical or infrastructure team who can shed light on this situation. Thank you so much for your time and understanding. Kind regards, [Mod - title edited to remove personal information]
