Worst company I have ever deal with. I signed up to a contract which offer an introductory discount. After I had placed my order, virgin media did not honour the discount. I complained multiple times and these emails contained cut and paste responses, but nothing helpful. They said they were unable to find anything which confirmed the offer on their end and after sending them a copy of the contract they had sent to me, they ignored my emails. In addition, they repeatedly got my name wrong in the replies on webchat and some emails. I asked for a letter of deadlock which was ignored and I asked them to cancel my services which they also ignored. Luckily I have now managed to cancel my contract via a telephone call which was also unnecessarily complicated but I have learnt my lesson. Do not go with the cheapest company, they are cheap for a reason. It is worth it to pay a bit extra to get good customer service. I am also in the process of complaining to CISAS as virgin media are knowingly falsely advertising their products.

Terrible customer service. Wouldn't listen to me when asking to cancel. Ended up having to wait 90 minutes on the phone to finally get my contract cancelled. Appalling

Not even worth 1 star but wat can u do u have ri give 1 to write a review abt this sad virgin service provider. Was told that wifi signal can be stronger if used app but lied as usual that's virgin with sky atleast they gave a signal booster and these gave a hub 3 instead of 5, Years old. Even talking to these muppets is irritating as the call center is in India just to rub it in a bit more they have no understanding.

My strong advice - do not do it! I had broadband, TV and telephone provided by Virgin Media for 20 years or so (dating back to ntlworld days). I left VM this year. I'm sharing my experiences in the hope it saves at least someone a world of pain! In my experience: It will take around an hour to get to talk to someone at Virgin Media. All other methods of communication have been purposely removed or hidden or, in the case of Webchat, are totally useless. It's not unusual to be cut off (call ended) - my hunch, it's an easy out if the person you're talking to has less than an hour left of Thier shift. Virgin Media will absolutely not, under any circumstances, deal with any issue you may have unless you are actively on a call with them. It makes me think they are not allocated / permitted any time to actually deal with issues, only to take calls. Very often, the automated phone service will lead you to the wrong destination (or there is not a suitable option). You will never be transferred or skip any queue, but be pushed to the back of another queue. Complaints are never responded to. I raised several valid complaints over 20 years. Not 1 was even acknowledged (until I left and had to get Ofcom involved). Virgin Media's customer service representatives are rather hostile (probably as a result of being moaned at all day). Virgin Media's customer service representatives are poorly trained. To the lovely lady I spoke to in February who told me I was not eligible to raise a complaint; Ofcom, CISAS and I all disagree - with a couple of zeros involved. You'll need to contact Virgin every year to renegotiate a reasonable tariff. It's always painful - often involving being bounced from call to call around the world. One year it took around 6 hours of calls to take up a black Friday offer they had sent me, but had no record of such an offer! Virgin Media's hardware is not adequate. If you have a Superhub 3, as I did, you probably don't have reliable WiFi and that's because the box just doesn't work. Get yourself a WiFi mesh - or enter the downward spiral of having to contact a Virgin Media customer representative. My final bit of advice - use Ofcom and CISAS to follow through any unresolvable complaint. I did this when I finally left Virgin and they messed up my cancellation early in 2022. Although at every opportunity Virgin delayed this process and argued the validity of my complaint, their original offer of £10 compensation ended up being several hundred. During this process I was given the following contact details for Virgin Claims, should it be of use to anyone; adr@vmclaims.co.uk, 07974 619641.

No TV or broadband since 1st September. Live in Surrey Epsom. Appalling service. Keep saying it will be fixed. No faith in them. Stuck in an 18 month contract. £188 exit fee. Will move in 18 months. Anything will be better than this rubbish. Charlene

Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Signed contract 15th August told my installation would be on 29th August, this was cancelled as external works needed to be done. Changed to 7th October. I work from home so this was far too long to wait as my current provider was ending their service. They send a dongle out which was terrible upload of 0.065, download 0.114, it may aswell be off!! Spoke to over 25 different people on god knows how many departments, over 7 hrs on the phone, promised a new dongle on 2 occasions, didn’t arrive, phoned and waited for another hour to be told we haven’t sent one because you have one!!! Phoned the complaints department who also couldn’t help. The phone was put down on me several times, no call back, now my install date has changed to 31st oct!! They can stick their broadband where the sun don’t shine…, absolute joke of a company with zero customer service… absolutely disgraceful!!

Horrible company that doesn't care about their customers and now have doubled my monthly fees for a service I haven't used for over 12 months. They do not care about their customers. Stay away from this abysmal company

Do not enter this nightmare guys, I contracted a sim mobile plan from them and even after canceling the contract and paying everything, with the attendant confirming that everything is settled and canceled (after 50 minutes on the phone), I just received an email with a bill to be paid next month. Here we go again to more stress

20 years loyalty repaid by the worst customer experience I've ever had! They simply do not care about any customer once on board. Even complaints are just ignored!! As are emails to their CEO Luiz. Solution - leave! And convince others to not join up in the first place. I for one will spread the word on every social media channel available. And every customer I convince to not join them as a customer, or leave if existing ones, is well worth my time spent doing this!! They are an absolute joke!!

Awful, almost non-existent customer service. It can take an average of an hour to get through to someone on the phone in India (service agents with limited English). They'd rather you go through an online forum or divert you to a 'chat bot.' The broadband itself is sketchy with regular major drops in connection and speed, which can affect your ability to work. They auto-renew your contract even if you ask them not to, then blame you for it. I'm so glad to be leaving them. Never again!

Virgin have an artificially inflated score on here due to it not being possible to give zero stars. Worst customer service I have ever dealt with, just thrown all their equipment out of the window.

It should be as easy to unsubscribe from a service as it is to sign up. Other than powerful brand bullies, who is against this? I gladly signed up with Virgin Media for an eighteen month broadband contract in March 2021. The process was rapid, the price very competitive (until my deal ended, when it became absurdly UN-competitive, but I knew that going in) and the service good. When fibre broadband was installed in my area there was no way Virgin or any other traditional provider would be able to compete, so, playing along with the unnecessarily restrictive rules about their timing of cancellations (read the small print) I took an afternoon off to unsubscribe (thanks to feedback I was prepared). Cancelling requires a seemingly inescapable charade of aggressive renegotiation (just offer me your best price upfront please, we don't live in some medieval bazaar). I was then hassled for weeks with "better" offers at all hours of the day from a variety of different phone numbers, making it difficult to block. For reasons known only to Virgin, my service was cancelled four days before my contract ended and I was, ludicrously, billed a few pounds for an early disconnection charge. Because the company had proved so inconvenient to negotiate with regarding cancellation, I paid it, which is presumably their bad faith strategy. Then, I was almost immediately threatened with further billing despite returning my Virgin Media equipment within 24 hours of receiving their packaging (now resolved, but we'll see). I kept transcripts of exchanges, and am advising other existing customers to do the same, as the culture demonstrated suggests they are not to be trusted. I can't imagine what it would be like dealing with Virgin Media in case of bereavement or other personal crisis. If anyone from Virgin ever reads this, please know: It is unlikely that making it extremely inconvenient to turn off the service is going to dissuade someone from doing it. It hurts a once respected brand, will demotivate your employees and destroys loyalty. It is short term-thinking and depressingly lazy. But you do it anyway. Just look at the reviews amassing on Trustpilot. When organizations get too big and too short-term focused to pay attention to the market, it’s a perfect moment for consumers to band together and give them a guardrail. If I can sign up with a few clicks, I should be able to withdraw my custom with a few clicks. I rent my London flat, so when I move I may not have fibre broadband as an option, and will likely require another provider. It won't be Virgin Media, and a once loyal customer will now repeat this complaint across any platforms that allow me to leave a review. Pity.

I was signed up for broadband and phone but I just wanted to postpone my contract for 8 days until my previous contract expired so I started to get in touch. After work the following day about 7 o clock I tried to call them but no matter what I tried to do on the phone and on line couldn't sort it. The following morning it took me 40 min to speak to someone that might be able to postpone the contract but they said they couldn't do it. At this stage I am getting disappointed with the service so I told them to cancel everything.
