I don't want to hijack this thread but thought important to let other Virgin Media customers aware of the following report.

Heaviest Virgin Media downloaders face new daytime go-slow

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/29/virgin_media_daytime_restrictions/

Virgin Media will double the number of hours it throttles the bandwidth of customers who hammer its network day and night, changes to its traffic management policy have revealed.


My contract ends on the 6th July and I will be glad to be shot of them. Be here I come.

Minardi and others

I am sure that you all know that Virgin have switched to using the 0845 number for tech support as of 01st July 2008.

The number that I now use to call "tech support" is 0845 454 2222, and not 0906 217 0001.

Does anyone know of or can locate an alternative geographical number for the 0845 number, please?

Thanks for your help.

Regards

You can try 01633 670000, it is reception, but if you ask for Tech Support, they should put you through, tell them,(if they mention 0845), that you cannot phone premium rate numbers from your phone.

Let us know if it works.

I didn't know that, thanks.  I bet that was an embarrassing retreat for them as it wasn't that long ago (was it) that they introduced the premium rate 09x number for tech support.

I think you should now be able to be put through to Tech Support from CS, as its not premium, but I've never tried.

VM have now cocked up my last bill so its back to phonebashing. Useless lot. Just useless.

When I complained about the 09 numbers, their excuse was that other internet providers were calling their technical support line for help! Given how helpful VM usually are (not), I find that hard to believe. They also claimed they'd refund the cost of the call if the problem was their fault, but how often do they ever admit that?

Looks like VM are wise to the 01752 300300 for c/s number because although I was connected (in the end), the recorded section said that this number is soon changing and that you have to ring 0845 number or 150 from a VM landline!

I second the report that 01752300300 no longer works as an alternative number. It worked fine earlier this month but when I called them this morning (to complain about my subscription charges being about to increase), I heard a recorded message telling me to dial 0845 454 1111 which hung up right after that.

It is of course free to call 150 from your Virgin phone, but I do not have a landline of any kind.... Undecided

Does the 0800 number still work?

It is possible that they have simply moved to another number in that range (301, 302, etc.)

The 08009535353 worked last week when I called retentions.

You have asked for a non geographical number so here it is

Service fault or technical support

Broadband or Phone service:
Call 0845 454 2222 and select Option 3 when prompted.
