Promises of fast broadband did not materialise. Often down, impossible to contact anyone. Should have kept my other provider.

My router was in a boot loop and they wouldn't replace with a new one asking me to update the PPP username and password even though I couldn't get to the admin page because the router kept rebooting!!! Refused to send an engineer even though they should have as per the 24h fix call-out contract. Moved to BT, and now Virgin Media Business require a 3 month written notice for cancellation! Total disgrace of a company. They have not only lost me as a business customer, I've managed to get 3 family member to cancel their home account as well! Disgusting

they are quick to ask for payment which should not be in the first place, I just paid it because they said it will affect my credit scoring and I will incur penalty. I paid right there and then but when it comes to refund it takes long and comes in a form of check. Worst customer care...

Would have given them 0 stars but unfortunately not possible. With their horrendous service and terrible customer experience, Virgin Media are taking a new approach to not letting customers cancel their contract - not answering the phone! Avoid, avoid, avoid!

Absolute joke for such a big company would never touch them with a barge pole again, moved into my place done a self install no signal phoned to tell them said i hadn't installed it correctly, finally after many calls and time wasted they sent out an engineer who said it hadn't been installed properly by virgin in the pit outside and said someone would return. waited in all day no one showed up so rang customer relations to cancel who finally agreed to cancel at at no cost because of no signal and it not being my fault, a month later get a bill fot £115 rang virgin and they said they clear it but then got another bill for £69, I tryed to ring a few times and just went round in circles, they then hit with missed payments on my credit score which has effected my credit rating so I ended uo paying £69 for nothing and it has still effected my score. Had a lot of problems with them in passed promising a new price then charging more, rude customer service. The only reason they get so much custom is because they have the fastest broadband hope another company gets faster than them so they won't get away with keep doing this to people, my advice people stay well clear.

My choice of provider was taking a long time to connect me but it was a lot cheaper and suitable enough for me, however to have the internet and phone usable without having to wait more weeks I arranged to have Virgin on a trial basis with the option to cancel within 14 days with no charges, and got them to email me that I would have no charges if I did decided to cancel within 2 weeks, and as my original choice did connect me for no charge I accepted their connection and their cheaper broadband is quicker than the more expensive Virgin Media. Anyway after cancelling within the 2 week trial I have received an email stating when my next payment is due and if not paid by due date may be charged extra [I cancelled my direct debit through my banks online service though you can visit your bank to do so meaning they cannot take the money].The point being that a more frightened customer may have just paid up even though [they] I have had 2 emails stating I would not have to pay anything. Have just contacted them again stating I owe them nothing and will not pay anything whatever, and after a lot of tooing and froing have been asured I will again receive confirmation that I owe them nothing and that my contract is cancelled. Also as others have found contacting them is difficult, no customer service email and unless you are with them expensive phone calls, so I used webchat, but was waiting for an adviser for half an hour, of course it is taking longer because of Covid-19 or this is what they would have you believe.

virgin media are so desperate they’re sending a letter saying we owe them £10 we aren’t even with virgin anymore & when spoken to customer service even they dont know what it’s for. Stop sending us letters else we’ll be taking you to court for harassment.

After a year with Virgin I can tell you: DO NOT! * The router provided has very weak WiFi signal * Even using a cable connection to the router, the speeds are APPALLING! I bought into 100Mbps and my download is somewhere around 30Mb and sometimes in the single digits... * Reaching these guys is impossible. No email or chat, so you have to hang high and dry on the phone for hours * The final touch: when I called today to ask not to renew my contract (6-Oct-2020, 10:06, "Emma"): She started blaming my house, the websites I access... I am an engineer of 20 years now but Emma from Billing knows better! Then she offered me a discount - I told her it's actually a negative that they didn't give me their best price until I threatened to leave. She offered a further 5 quid discount :D :D :D I wouldn't take it for free at this point!

There seems to be no internal communication within Virgins call centre. Staff contact you to assist but have no idea that you have already sent them written information (once on a on-line complaint form and once in a reply to a message). Irrelevant auto generated responces are sent to you repeatedly. I have wasted time with them. Worst and most irritating call centre I have ever come across.

Just had virgin put into our neighbourhood. I was interested so that morning I had a look on line. That afternoon a virgin ‘field sales advisor ‘ knocked on the door. I wasn’t well and dogs kicking off so I just said thank you but I don’t really complete things like this at the door I’ll continue on line but thank you. She said I have offers not available on line. Again I thanked her but said I wished to continue online. In a huff she said if you want to waste money then fine and walked off!!! I don’t really open my door to be spoken to in a rude way. I really wasn’t feeling well, hence why I was at home. This morning Virgin I would have signed up with you, now I won’t bother. Well done your ‘field sales advisor’ cost you a sale!! Not happy and I never got as far as signing up. No wonder you have so many unhappy customers if you treat everyone like me!! I’m going to stay away.

Very unhappy, extremely poor customer service, poor broadband with constant breaks! Do not ever use their chat as they will tell you later that it wasn't recorded and you lose!

Useless customer service. I called and agreed on a new deal for my broadband but then when called again to confirm it was made incredibly difficult for me to confirm because they seemed to think that the deal I had been offered was too cheap and I had been offered it wrongly. However rather than simply telling me I couldn't have the deal anymore, I was led to believe that the extra discount had to be a special type that wouldn't appear in the automated email correspondence. This caused me to be locked in to a deal far more expensive than I had originally agreed to. Now it is up for debate as to whether I should have believed their rubbish about a special managers discount, however the very fact that they attempted to mislead a customer in order to lock them in to a more expensive deal is utterly outrageous. As soon as my bad value deal with Virgin has ended I shall be leaving and taking my business elsewhere.

Virginmedia broadband client for 3 years I am their client for 3 years, the first year with a contract and the next 2 years without. This year Virginmedia broadband decided to convince me to re-enter the 18-month contract. They made me an offer, I accepted, after I was contacted that the offer that was accepted by me is not correct but they will continue to respect it, after 3 months they do not respect the offer and I am forced to take them to court.
