Hello, I have been with Virgin Media for about 9 months until my contract finished and I’d say they’ve been the worst broadband company I’ve engaged with especially in terms of communicating post contract and dealing with issues once we had left the property. VM never sent us our return equipment box after multiple emails on my part correcting the address they wanted to send it to without any response leading to us never getting the box. After numerous complaints following this issue I am still to receive any feedback from VM. The only email they sent me was to inform me that I now have a £106 bill to pay for non-return of equipment -ridiculous...

Paying more than double for what I can get from other providers. Appalling customer service and 4 days on I'm still waiting for the promised call back from a Team Manager. I will be switching next month when their new charges come into effect

Been with virgin for over a year. Lots of promises but service is the worst I have ever had. Slow speeds, not working internet etc etc Now on 5 day of no internet connection and very tired of hearing sane excuses. Will not allow termination of contract without charging £100 plus. Learn from my mistake and go with another provider they really can’t be as bad as virgin can they???

Please do not signed with them. I had a really genuine and good expectation as they promote themself as a fast and reliable company. Customer service is unreachable. If you get through you will speak with someone who barely speak english, has problems with spelling or generally has no knowledge of company services or policies. Signal of broadband is very weak and there are gaps without connection every day. Last time they have a problem with their network been down and as they did not managed to fix it from Thursday till Friday they said it will be fixed on Monday. So their engineers had nice weekend off while thousands people were without service they paid for. I can see that in a few years Virgin Broadband will be where their gyms are. Gone. Branson as always start some business but stop care about it and intead investing to keep it alive with great stabile services he just bought island and let his company die.

Absolut rubbish. We were supposed to have highest speed according to contract but received only a small fraction what we were promised. No signal in the next room (we had to buy few rooters and ours is a small house. We had it for one year and so happy now when we switched to Vodafone broadband. It is twice cheaper and speed is 3x better. We do not need additional rooters anymore. When we called to tell that we leaving customer service staff sounded unpleasant and quite annoyed. Would recommend to my worst enemy ...

Absolutely rubbish. No tv and broadband for days now. Engineer cancelled on their end thinking its resolved without asking me. Now they saying another engineer to come in another few days. No apology, no understanding. Made various calls, waiting long time as always, they hang up when transferring. The inconvenience and frustration caused is long to write here. Waste ppl

I had two years of broadband at 10% of its supposed speed due to the incompetence of this evil company. When I tried to leave, they were at their worst. They billed me for months after I switched, sent me confusing bills and badgered me and now, months later, they are threatening to charge me for kit I returned two weeks ago. You can't get through to anyone who understands you and the company doesn't care at all. Awful.

Appalling Customer Service. My cable needs to be moved as the T.V. is being moved to a room at the back of the house. No local Companies will touch it as 'it's Virgin'. So the usual jumping through hoops only to be put on hold for hours. I only want to book an Engineer and am paying them nearly £1500 per year. I would cancel but can't take my very long-standing email address with me.

After years of utter rubbish broadband services and price increases I decided to leave and what a relief the best decision I ever made , when I was with virgin media I was constantly getting losses of services and always getting price increases and whenever I tried to leave VM the VM customer convinced me to always stay stating there services can't be beaten your getting A+ grade service compared to all other suppliers and guess what I joined another broadband supplier and never had any loss of services it just goes to shaw don't trust this evil money grabbing company who don't care about loyal customers

Im absolutely disgusted by the customer service, she was so rude to me when i was asking if i could downgrade my services as the prices were increasing. I am fed up with people who think its ok to talk down to you when your asking about a cheaper deal which is online. I think Virgin media need to find better customer service. I am now cancelling after over 10 years of loyal membership..... good riddance

Worst customer service experience I have ever had. These guys are terrible in dealing with customers. I had no broadband connection for a week ( I was told they are doing some work i the area where I live) and I keep getting intermittent connections. I complained and was told I won’t have to pay for the time I had no service. I have just received a full bill with no discount for the week I had no broadband. I made another complaint and was told someone would get back to me within 48 hours. I have had no response up to now and it’s been a week. Previously the internet stopped working and I arranged for an engineer. However he didn’t turn up. I am escalating my complaints to their chief executive and I suggest everyone does the same. Absolutely disgusting customer service. They don’t even deserve a single star rating. AVOID AVOID AVOID at all costs

I've been a loyal customer for over 17 years. i wanted to discuss my billing with virgin so logged in on the website. it wasn't possible to discuss my bill via chat so I was directed to the phoneline i waited 35 minutes on the phone line listening to the same 4 songs on repeat. I thought there must be a fault. it was unbelievable to me that a company with such high standing as virgin would have such a long wait time so I assumed there was a fault. i tried again the next morning, and after 35 minutes i was able to speak to an agent. i mentioned the long wait time and he said" yes, we are busy" no apology its my experience that the services at virgin, the customer wait times, the ability to remedy things quickly has much deteriorated while the costs have gone up. reading online its clear that the company has declined, as there are such horrendous reviews of experiences. mine sadly is not an isolated incident I'm a patient man, but I could no longer justify paying upwards of 500£ per year to a company that seemingly invest so little to make the customer experience hassle-free. I was to have a further increase of £3.50 per month as of September. this was worse than Ryan air customer service, really sad as the customer service used to be outstanding after 17 years as a customer, I canceled my contract with virgin and have already signed a new contract with a competitor sincerely

I have had issues with virgin media for a while broadband and TV I was miss sold at the point off sale I have asked to speak to a manager and on a number off times been miss informed or been lied to as never got call back been going on for over 3 months. Just today I have called up all I have told them is that there are notes left on account and manager was suppose to call me back on a number off times but failed to call back. First adviser when asking for a manger said to me I've just started my shift and dont give me that attitude. And then put me on hold to get manager and dropped call on me. Second call told adviser read through notes and get manager as I've gone through same issue a number off times. She insisted on hearing it from me even though notes were on there so whilst going through issue. Adviser put me on mute said hello 4 times before adviser came back on call and then said will transfer you through to manager but transferred me to another adviser. That adviser kicked off with me as when explaining to him said I'm through to wrong team. Then was transferred to another adviser back in customer service who said I will need to read through all notes on account and then get manager a put me on mute after a good 10mins cut call on me. Not once tried to call me back very very bad customer service. Will be looking to leave. There customer service everytime is the worst I dont think there is anyone as bad I will be taking this to offcom, Virgin media dont care about one person complaint if everyone starts to complain that's when they will do something about ther customer service

Nobody answers the phone & no one phones back your automated service is atrocious!! I have been waiting on a call back since 14th July, I was put onto a text message service where i was contacted at 11pm in the evening only to not be replied to. I urgently need to speak to someone and would appreciate someone contact me asap

I've been trying to cancel for days, waiting hours each time. The first call gets answered but as soon as you say you want to give them your notice, they transfer you and you have to wait for hours. I've had to hang up each time and haven't successfully got through yet. You can't contact them by email. Your 'mailbox' on their site says 'Currently unavailable' - and it's always like that. You can't use their livechat to cancel. So you have to phone, and they don't answer. Then there's the connection- constantly drops off each day, some days for hours. I just want to cancel but can't find a way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Avoid, avoid, avoid.
