scams! They take advantage of everything. My contract ended and they increased the price from 27 to 50 pounds per month. I called them when I checked my statement and they said they cant renew the contract and I had to pay 50 pm. i discussed with my roommates and for a month I've being trying to call back to cancel my subscription and no one would answer (i tried from website to cancel but there is no option). So I cancel my direct debit and when they finally called they said I had to give one month notice so I had to pay for next month too even if my contract ended.

The worst customer experience I've ever come across After 3 months of waiting and 4 engineer visits Virgin decided to give up on installing Fibre into my building. Over those 3 months they refused to let me cancel and go with another provider, redirecting 6 times to different departments as a retainment device. I've been left working remotely with no internet during the Corona outbreak, putting my employment to work at risk. Please do your future self a massive favour and avoid this awful company!

The service was Ok however when I tried to terminate my service because I'm leaving my apartment, I discovered that there was no email to send to. I contacted their WhatsApp group and online chat but the only reply I got was call 1908 to cancel. I called 1908 several times, each for almost 40mins and no one is answering. Their voice message stated that I can leave my number and when my turn comes, they will be automatically calling me back, which didn't happen. Now, it ends up like this; a frustrating customer who wants to terminate the service and no one is helping. I can't just communicate the message that I want to terminate and no one from the online chat wants to pass this internally to the sales team. The last resort was to cancel my direct debit to them. It's apparently the worst customer service I have ever seen in my life!

No mobile phone signal strength; -113 dBm, 0 asu. Absolutley hopeless. And I live in a city (Norwich) less than 2 miles from the centre, right next to the University. The university is not using the band width, because there is hardly anyone there. It has been hopeless for years. Virgin media do not care. There is no help. There is no mobile phone service.

Endless expensive problems & bad internet. Was charged £100's on home phone that i dont even have. Have had 18months of horrendous internet, cant hold a skype call even by the router but Virgin wouldnt let me leave my contract. Terrible customer service and internet connection. My friend is a manager there and says Virgin are really struggling financially and technically.

I had a lot of problems with Virgin Media since I joined them. They stopped my internet for 24 hours all of sudden and I chased them to put it back, I receive an automatic email saying "thank you for the changes you made" = and I got a huge bill of 97£. My monthly bill is now 49£ instead of 25£ for landline and broadbrand. I couldn't believe it. They sent me a new contract without my consent and now I can't do anything. I then try to chase them up to send me an email at least proving I am still going to pay the initial price but still nothing !!!! I am very scared that I am going to pay so much. I am living by myself and I cannot change internet provider during the lockdown...I am quite stuck !!!!!!

A complete joke! Me and my partner decided to try VM. We recieved the router but they didn't take the payment therefore we have no internet connection. We tried calling them with no success. They just let you ring for an hour or so to put you on hold and hang up on you. Dont ever EVER go to VM.

I need to change my password but not allowed to phone them due to Coronavirus and website won’t allow me to do so. Apart from that which is important I’m scared after reading the testimonials and because where I live Virgin is the only option. I don’t know where to turn as I understand they hike up prices 70% plus. Please help me

if i could give 0 stars I would. I moved into my first flat in January 2020. I decided to choose Virgin as my WIFI and Broadbrand supplier... Oh what a mistake. I chose Virgin as they had an offer on of a £75 voucher. This would have come in very handy for things for my flat. 4 months later, I have not received this. The customer service is absolutely shocking. I've waited over an hour in the call queues, to be put on hold and hung up on. All for one simple request. I then turned to the live chat, which is like trying to engage in a conversation with a potato. I've made a complaint, been told it would be resolved within 72 hours. 6 weeks later, I've heard nothing. I have been waiting in the virtual online chat queue now for over an hour. I highly recommend that nobody chooses Virgin as their supplier.

1 star is 1 star too many. An absolute joke. Over 90mins trying to speak to someone, had to give up. Messenger service can't help or transfer to the relevant team.

We had an incredible disappointment with this company. My husband and I had the internet. Few months before the whole world became upside down our landlord asked us to move, as he was planning to sell the building soon. So, a few days before the complete block down my husband and I decided to move. We started to ask all our suppliers to change our address and services for the new house. When we called Virgin at no point during the call a fine was mentioned, even this situation is not our fault/choice. They just said: "We will have to cancel with you because we don't cover this area". Right, fair enough. When we rented the new home, how can we even imagine that they wouldn't cover the area at our new address? So, after almost 3 years being their customer, we received a big penalty £200 something. When we saw the bill, we thought, of course, it's something wrong, as we moved from Carlisle to Oldham a few years ago and EE couldn't offer the same plan, so they cancelled very gently saying sorry to lose us. Anyway, my husband called Virgin and again, unbelievable how rude a customer service can be. He explained the situation, we are living a horror film and we couldn't believe in this penalty, tell me? What could we do about it? Don't move? because of our internet plan? It’s so unfair, if customer service at the very first moment had explained the penalty, we might have a chance to talk about it. Now we are in the middle of the pandemic, with a £ 200 bill and thank you very much for the horrible service. I don't recommend you to anyone! You are insensitive when applying your fines. They should at least consider that they speak to humans! Who go through several different situations. I didn't move home because I wanted to during a pandemic, I had to! It's a shame! NEVERMORE I'll have anything with the Virgin Media.

I had two problems with VM - internet speed and access to my emails. Their call centre was hopeless unless you spoke to an established member of VM who knew what they are doing. I was told it was an engineering problem or a software problem that would be solved within 3 weeks! Both of these excuses were lies and are just a means of ending the conversation. The company should be ashamed of itself for such shoddy treatment.

I wouldn’t give one star, I been with sky for year but decided to try virgin, and what a big mistake that was. The product, there services and after all the issues they couldn’t fix. They send you a massive bill to say good buy. Word can’t say what I’m feeling so if anyone is thinking of going to virgin, I strongly recommend you not to.

Avoid at all costs!! So, my partner moved in with me to my home address. We both had virgin media internet at our separate addresses. Spoke with the Virgin team who stated that as I had finished my fixed term with them, could cancel my policy at no cost and they could change my partners account to my address as she still had 6 months left on her contract at £31. They even stated I would not have to do anything to do the boxes and there would be no loss of service in between changing the accounts. Sounds great! Well it was all to good to be true. Firstly there was a loss in service, so after ringing customer service and being on hold for over an hour was told it would take 3 days to disconnect my account and a further 3 days to switch over my partners account. Was a bit annoyed as I had directly asked the virgin staff this, and they said there would b no loss of service. So here we are in lock down with no tv or internet to entertain the kids for 6 days. No real big deal to be fair, but at least if we new it was coming we could of made some preparations to keep the kids entertained. But it gets worst, the next day in the post comes a letter from virgin, who instead of moving my partners account to my address, which had 6 months remaining at £31, Virgin out of the goodness of there hearts have signed us for a new 12 month contract at £49.99 a month, for the exact same package. So again spoke with customer service, and to be fair to the advisor I got he was really well mannered about the mix up, but said he could not do anything as he works with retentions, and that he would get someone to call me back. I am still awaiting this call back. At this stage I am just fed up with the full thing an plan on changing to a provider who does not lie and mislead there customers.
