We secured a good deal with Virgin media for broadband in 2020. As soon as our contract ended (June 2022) they hiked our prices up by almost 100%. I called to explain that it was unaffordable, I'd also been made redundant and financially we were struggling. The rep at Virgin was completely uninterested and offered a "take it or leave" amount that still resembled an 80% increase on our original tariff. I therefore chose to switch service providers which we did, then called Virgin to cancel and they made it as difficult as humanly possible to do this - the women in the cancellations department actually argued that it was our fault for not being more proactive in reviewing our contract pricing. Another sign we had made the right choice by leaving. I then received multiple calls each day over a week from Virgin sales reps offering prices better than our original package, must've been shy on sales targets but nowhere to be seen when I reached out... Obviously by this point we're already with a new provider so it wasn't possible. They then issued an outstanding payment notice claiming we had to give 30 days notice to cancel and slapped a "late payment fee" on top of the value of the unjustifiably hiked tariff. Despite being out of contract. This is the corporate equivalent of bullying - Virgin see us as consumers, not people. Numbers not individuals. The value of the outstanding amount means nothing to Virgin Media, but might mean something to an individual. Do they care? Absolutely not. They are only interested in your pockets so just be wary if you go with them. My advice would be not to following what's been a pretty inhumane and disgraceful experience. Judging by their score here, it's pretty consistent too. Too busy building "rockets". What a joke.
