Accessibility and extra support
Accessibility
At Virgin Media, we want everybody to enjoy our great products and services. That's why we're doing everything we can to make them accessible for disabled people. You can find out more on our accessibility and vulnerability policy here.
Extra support
It’s important to us that we treat all our customers fairly and support those who need a little extra help. As such we’ll always try to offer the most appropriate services for your personal circumstances, and help out where we can when circumstances require we do so.
If you have any specific needs or requirements, or you’re having difficulties you’d like to talk to us about, our customer service team is ready to help you however they can.
We have endeavoured to make our site as user friendly as we can, as we want everyone who visits to have a great experience. Below is a list of keyboard shortcuts, assistive technologies and navigation tools we’ve implemented and we support to ensure pages are as accessible as possible.
