Today I tried to call Virgin Media because they have failed to disconnect the rubbish cable broadband yesterday as they agreed on 2 January. (Now they are claiming I didn't give a month's notice and that I have to pay another month, but that's another matter..)
Anyway, virtually all the 0800 numbers I tried from the database no longer work if you choose any options that would be of use to existing customers. They all just say to dial the 0845 number. Someone needs to review these.
Finally, I had some success using 0800 052 0166. They put me through to someone who, when I said I was on cable broadband, put me through to India (or so it sounded).
They didn't deal satisfactorily with me, but that's because the department I need isn't open on Sunday.
I stress that it was an alternative to the 0845 I was looking for, not the rip-off 09 technical support number (thankfully, I'll never need the latter again, not that I ever phoned it when I did need it).
