“Absolute bunch of scumbags. Absolutely typical stonewalling, same as British Gas and eon. Overcharge you and simply ignore you or make it entirely too difficult to get your money back. Cancellation took over 3 months and god knows how many hours of phone calls to resolve for what should be a simple process. Then they rely on harassment of emails, letters etc despite the account being closed. Stay away at all costs if you value your time or sanity. There’s a special place in hell for virgin.”

“NEVER USE VIRGIN MEDIA Virgin Media has to be the WORST company I have ever come across or had the misfortune to deal with. They can not provide the service I am paying for, for almost 1 year now and refuse to do anything about it. Customer support is nothing other than abuse. Reps are rude and lie, continually slam down phones on you or if you are "lucky" you get passed on to another department and another clueless yet rude rep. The only people that can do anything are "Managers" but you can not speak to them as "They don't take incoming calls" and they NEVER ring you back as "They are very busy". I have been waiting for over 6 months for a call from a Virgin Media Manager. I cant cancel as I have to get approval from a manager. I cant get a status update on the ongoing system outage in my area which is affecting 50% of the area because ALL managers are too busy to make a call or send an email. Disgusted with this treatment and they wont even let you leave. I have initiated legal and will follow this through. PLEASE NOTE I strongly recommend Virgin Media customers experiencing despicable service report this to the industry regulator : cedr.com / consumer / cisas”

“Hi! HORROR with VIRGIN Contacting customer assistance via chat is not possible. The employees that transfer your call from one country to another do not speak English. I've been on the phone for two weeks now trying to communicate with someone who doesn't speak English. They don't want you to cancel, and when you offer them a reason, they transfer you to sales, where it is impossible to cancel, so it will take me another week of calls to do so. In order to continue stealing your money after the contract expires, it is their tactic to make you give up on cancelling the agreement. Service very slow no like advertising by Virgin hence change for reliable provider.”

“So where do I start? Today Virgin media decided to take an extra 35% extra above the already extortionate amount, so I jump on the web to have a chat with them, this isn't available, so they suggest WhatsApp, so I start my conversation @ 8:20am, 8:28am they say that they will put me through to someone, 9:51am I actually get a reply from a human, I ask to cancel my contract, more messages later than I care to count and at 18:03 nearly ten hours later, they finally agree to disconnect me on the 15/02/2023 19:30 I have been disconnected - surely thats theft, I have paid (according to my bill) for services from the 9th January to the 8th of February - I have paid you Virgin and at a 35% higher premium I could have been talked into staying if they wanted to be sensible about pricing, however the broadband service very rarely gets above half the speed of what I am paying for and often much slower than half the speed. You derserve zero stars today Virgin - Theives”

“Hi! There is impossible to chat to customer service. People who employed do not speak english. I spend now 40 minutes in the phone to speak with person who do not understand english. Each word she pronounce slowly and do not understand me also. I need to turn the phone off and go probably for another provider.”

“Set up was good and efficient but we had WiFi black spots that a booster didn't solve. Help line said they could see the router online so it was working as far as they could see. The booster couldn't find the router when it was 2m away and they refused to send an engineer out so we had to cancel, no use having super fast fibre if the distribution around the house is rubbish! Went with sky, got a booster and told if it doesn't work they would send someone out. World's apart!”

“One and a half hours on chat line. Operator Ji only answered every 10 minutes. All I wanted to do is get rid of landline and telephone as I only kept it for my mother to ring, but she has recently passed away. The final offer was to reduce my bill by £1!!! Absolutely appalling customer service. I have experienced this before and I think now is the time to change supplier and go public with my poor experiences with Virgin.”

“Originally ordered package in November, Missed Appointments, Customer Service lack training or knowledge, Virgin Media charge premium for bad service and poor business process Originally ordered package in November, and multiple problems have occurred since. Made another appointment on the 29th Dec 2022, the engineer did not show up, nor did they ring to cancel or postpone this appointment. However when checking with customer service, they said the next available appointment is 3 weeks away... considering the engineer didn't show, making customer wait more than 3 weeks after the error is Virgin media side seems a bit insane to me I also spoke to customer service team reps several times, who gave the wrong information about what dates were available, one customer service rep also said one date was free and booked a completely different date, all very strange, incompetent and confusing as customer service reps do not seem trained, knowledgable or well versed in customer experience at all. Coupled with problems and delay after delay, they even gave the owner of the property the wrong information about where internet would come through to the house, they said it would come through the front but it was indeed the back, which caused landlord headache because they had to rewire the property. then after this, engineer didnt show up, and more wrong info, delays, failed call backs etc... In particular, it was rather amusing because a customer service rep called Dovile Ozbemir even hung up the call because she couldn't be bothered to deal with the complaint, also sounded very badly trained and unprofessional.”

“I was been told by Naeelah an engineer will come in next four hours, we wait 6 hours no one come out, we call back after 6 hours waiting and Jai said another engineer will come this morning between 8:00 and 12:00 we wait again at home and no one turn up again. The account is flagged two disabled elderly persons leave at the address they doesn't have home line and internet at all the tv is not working and is New Year eve . The most worse company ever , I will stop the contract after someone will call me back for my complaint. I will never ever recommend Virgin Media to anyone else not friends or family for sure. 😡😡😡”

“2022 Dec, Virgin Media, *Don't be fooled ,*Dont trust them, *They are liars, *They close your Complaints down without addressing complaints or requests to cancel, * They respond with answers that don't match your complaint to close down complaint as resolved, In order to blinker OFCOM Virgin Media after service and end of contract cancellation process handling doesn't exist. It's not the 1st time either..... No Virgin Media service past 3mths End of contract terminated 3mths prior We have also moved 3mths prior All notified and discussed via phone x5 way back from Sept/Oct Via Virgin Media App multiple times Via Email Via 3x Customer Complaints, cancelling and ending contract, not renewed 🤬 3 x asked what would you like us to do Via Complaints reply Please cancel contract.... Cancel contract....... Cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel cancel +++ Response please talk to our moving home department..... no cancel Response please talk to billing if your struggling to pay..... I've recently received a message Dec to say they are stopping our service.... if I wish to reinstate please call..... This is for previous address 3mths ago You would think finally it's cancelled.... They have listened..... Wrong still trying to charge for Nov- Dec Dec-Jan For previous address They've since requested collection of products.... where from previous address 🤔 They then continue to chase for money for an expired and cancelled contract. They then sell this off to a debt collection company even though you don't owe them anything..... They have fast broadband bit you will pay for it in the long run, Mark my words... It's our 3rd and last time with Virgin Media.... it's also the 2nd time in a row of this incompetent terrible customer service. Having left for a better offer with a competitor again. Having managed multiple multi million service contracts Globally & Nationally. I feel Virgin Media are by far the worst I've ever had dealings with.... Never Recommend again.... Never have again Report to OFCOM & Ombudsman 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬”

“Worst customer service experience I've ever come across. Cancelled my phone and broadband package over a month ago and they continue to charge me. Finally got them to cancel today but they can't confirm whether my refund will be back dated to my original request to cancel. An offshore customer service operation with non English speakers reading standard scripts parrot fashion without any context to the issue at hand over laggy and distorted telephony equipment which is pretty ironic given that Virgin supposed to be a media service provider - what a joke!”

“Absolute liars! I was given a connection date of 29th December. On the 21st December I was advised my connection would now be 13th of January I called and asked if they would be advising my current supplier of the delay so that I wouldn’t be disconnected early and was told they can’t do this and that I should contact them myself to cancel the cancellation date for a few weeks (29/12/22 - 13/01/23 - original installation date to revised installation date) My current provider explained that because Virgin had taken over the line, and it was technically theirs now, I am unable to make any changes through them. I explained this to Virgin and they offered me a dongle with unlimited use free of charge to use in the days I wouldn’t have a phone line/internet. I agreed and was asked for all my personal information and bank details….. They wanted to credit check me for the FREE dongle! I’d just had a credit check to join them and now they wanted another one! For a free product! These hard searches affect your credit score and to have to have one done for a free product is a joke! As I refused and explained it wasn’t good enough, they said they would now make my repair appointment a priority and that someone would be out today and if all went well I would be connected by my original instal’ date. Surprise surprise, nobody turned up, a whole day wasted! I’ve now told them I don’t want their services no matter what and now I’ve got to wait for them to contact my original provider to verify they won’t be taking over the line and that can take up to 48 hours! Probably longer because of Christmas hours. Messed about and lied to for nothing! Disgusting customer service. No wonder they rank so low on here.”

“If you are considering moving to Virgin Media, please read this and all the other scathing reviews online. I cannot stress enough: JUST DO NOT DO IT! STAY AWAY FROM VIRGIN MEDIA; THEY WILL PROMISE THE EARTH AND DELIVER NOTHING. Took out a contract in September and have had nothing but stress. Virgin do not answer texts or emails. I called, emailed and texted the chap who onboarded me in September numerous times. He simply ignored every attempt to contact him. But when he was getting me to sign up: ''Here are my contact details, contact me anytime should you have any questions'' Our instalment date has now been postponed five times. Yesterday an engineer arrived to do the interior work and even he didn't know that the exterior work had not been carried out. I have had 2 calls from people speaking english with such strong overseas accents I could not understand a word that was said. One was a mailbox message which I played to others: no one understood what was being said. I have nothing against overseas workers but they should have at least a basic english pronunciation to be understandable. Today we were told an engineer would come to do the exterior work on 31st December. Then a few hours later someone called to say it would be postponed again until February. Then two minutes later an email arrived saying it would be on 31st December! It seems no department of Virgin media knows what another is doing, and there is a severe lack of information exchanged within the company. My fear is, if this is the state of the service before it is even installed, what would it be like if something were to go wrong??! I will be cancelling my contract, and continue with BT in the hope they have fibre to my door soon. Virgin Media you should be very ashamed. Your service is a disgrace. Take some time to read all your shameful reviews online and do something about the state of your so called 'service'. LIKE MANY PEOPLE HERE ON TRUSTPILOT AND OTHER ONLINE REVIEW PORTALS: I ADVISE ANYONE CONSIDERING USING VIRGIN MEDIA TO STAY AWAY!! UPDATE 20.12.22 After almost 30 minutes on the telephone I have finally just cancelled the contract. Never have I experienced such bad service from a company. The list of inaccuracies and poor service within Virgin is inconceivable. To conclude I can only say: read the reviews, there's a reason Virgin only has 10% 5 star and 61% 1 star, and reiterate what I wrote at the top: STAY AWAY FROM VIRGIN MEDIA; THEY WILL PROMISE THE EARTH AND DELIVER NOTHING.”

“Nightmare Gail can t return or wont return a call that she assured me would happen to sort out technical issues experienced at Virgin medias end whilst setting up my new package .Gail assured me not to worry everything will be fixed and to await a call within 24Hrs. This nightmare started 23rd November 2022.To date no phone call.However i have been bombarded with demands for monies by email, text that are not due. I have contacted Virgin media during this process and they are unable to resolve this matter. SHAME ON YOU VIRGIN MEDIA.”

Apparently the Last emergency one was never booked. So after 7 days of chasing them for a engineer which equates to 7 days missed work, no TV, Phone or Internet. And thanks to modern technology we can't access the heating in the house without WiFi so we are now at -8 with a baby and unable to do anything about it but freeze! Every time we call to ask whats happening with the engineer they try and move out appointments further away and tell us we never had these appointments booked. We have all the times and dates of the calls but apparently they can't listen to them either to confirm. So some one is talking though a hole in their butt and it ain't us. Absolutely descusting customer service and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone again. From the 8th until the 12th I've called them and been called a liar about my booked appointments. Get Richard to call me so I can give him a ear full!”

“As I was moving house but my old property sale had fallen through I wanted to cancel my phone line and TV whilst keeping my broadband so I could monitor the property. But no they wouldn’t do that, if I wanted internet only I would have to take a new 18 month contract. How unreasonable can you get? I therefore had no choice but to cancel the lot. So I have saved a few quid and they have lost a few, not that they are bothered. But where they have lost is this customer who now has a grudge.”
