How can I contact Virgin Media and am I entitled to compensation?
Virgin Media is signed up to the Automatic Compensation Scheme which makes it easier for customers to get money back when their service goes wrong.
On this occasion, it’s unlikely you’ll get any compensation automatically as the scheme only covers customers when internet goes down for two or more full days.
If you still want to complain to Virgin Media about an issue with your connection, you can reach their customer service team on 0345 454 1111.
Do keep in mind that phone lines are likely to be extremely busy at the moment due to the coronavirus crisis.
You can also speak to Virgin Media via its live chat service.
Virgin Media customers were left fuming in February when they lost their TV service during the rugby Six Nations 2020 England versus Ireland game.
This was followed by another internet outage which left homes in Hampshire unable to get online in March.
In better news for the company, Virgin Media announced April that it was giving customers 18 popular channels including MTV, TLC and Comedy Central for free.
