“Absolute joke of a company. Take your money and don't provide you with the service in return. Surely this needs to be investigated as not getting what you pay for is a scam. No point in making a complaint as they just Mark it as resolved without contacting you.”

Virgin Media 1 star review on 23rd October 2022

Posted 5 months ago

“We secured a good deal with Virgin media for broadband in 2020. As soon as our contract ended (June 2022) they hiked our prices up by almost 100%. I called to explain that it was unaffordable, I'd also been made redundant and financially we were struggling. The rep at Virgin was completely uninterested and offered a "take it or leave" amount that still resembled an 80% increase on our original tariff. I therefore chose to switch service providers which we did, then called Virgin to cancel and they made it as difficult as humanly possible to do this - the women in the cancellations department actually argued that it was our fault for not being more proactive in reviewing our contract pricing. Another sign we had made the right choice by leaving. I then received multiple calls each day over a week from Virgin sales reps offering prices better than our original package, must've been shy on sales targets but nowhere to be seen when I reached out... Obviously by this point we're already with a new provider so it wasn't possible. They then issued an outstanding payment notice claiming we had to give 30 days notice to cancel and slapped a "late payment fee" on top of the value of the unjustifiably hiked tariff. Despite being out of contract. This is the corporate equivalent of bullying - Virgin see us as consumers, not people. Numbers not individuals. The value of the outstanding amount means nothing to Virgin Media, but might mean something to an individual. Do they care? Absolutely not. They are only interested in your pockets so just be wary if you go with them. My advice would be not to following what's been a pretty inhumane and disgraceful experience. Judging by their score here, it's pretty consistent too. Too busy building "rockets". What a joke.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“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!!”
