Terrible customer service. Absolute awful. They have over charged me for services and the customer service team are being really unhelpful. Don't sign up to this company.

Do not make the mistake to ever switch to Virgin media!!!! They are the worst company out there ... especially when it comes to leaving their company!!!! When I ask them to stop my subscription seriously they became monsters ... I’m dealing with issues for 2 months !!! The later one today !! As I return the equipment almost 2 weeks ago now they send me an email that I haven’t return it and they want to charge me for it !!! Seriously I will sue them if they continue !!!! You call them to complaint and managers are never there ... once, I was faking that I want to give a compliment and the manager was running to the phone like a chihuahua and when you want to complaint they are on the phone busy !!! ALWYAS .... I'm telling you I have been going on and one with this for 2 months!!! They are lying !!!! And then the employee says they are going to call you back in an hour and they never do. When you stay on the line, on the other hand, they put you on hold for 2 minutes and after they hang up on you !!! Seriously never make the mistake of registering with them!!!

Not Recommended - Really Bad Service Really Bad customer service. Waiting for 4+ weeks to have the services available despite giving Virgin Media 2 months notice of when I want the services to go live. Contacted the Complaints team, Received an email to say they tried to contact me but they never did. Waiting for a call from the manager and for an update - nothing what so ever.

Wish I could leave a review of 0 stars. Virgin media are the most shambolic company I have ever dealt with. Been a customer for 3 years however after several price hikes I decided enough is enough time to go. Tried ringing customer servicee line, spent best part of 2 hours holding and being transferred from dept to dept they finally hung up on me. Called back next morning, another hour of trying to get through with no luck. I then sent a letter with recorded delivery to cancel their services and low and behold somebody from a UK call centre rings me and after trying to to get me to stay (no chance!)I finally get confirmation of cancellation. Pathetic people, never ever again will I consider Virgin Media.

Worst customer service ever! An utter joke and is unbelievable! After 3 years with them witnessing a couple of price increases (totalling about 10 quids!) in that period, I decided I am better off without their service as I use the internet very little so I called them to cancel and they kept me on the phone for about 100 mins transferring me from one staff member to another having to repeat explaining the story to every single one of them asking me privacy invading questions like are you moving? are you travelling? why are you cancelling? what is the address you are thinking of moving to? where are you travelling? When are you moving out? The way they question you for simply and rightly asking to unsubscribe is nothing short of a crime investigation. This is utterly privacy invading and should be criminalised and the government should stop those greedy companies abusing their customers. Due to this horrendous experience I will never ever consider them again in the future!

Wow where do I start? I have been with them for over 20 years.. In the last 2 weeks i have had such poor internet, i have tried to contact them to get things sorted out..... JOKE! Customer Services, you call for approx 25-30 mins speak to someone then the phone line cuts you off! 4 times in one attempt to fix the issue... I have been happy until this issue but since there is just two people using the internet. I have decided to take my business elsewhere. NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER!!

The actual product that virgin provided, broadband, was fine and worked well. The customer service was awful though. The prices also increased, which was within their right, but it increased whilst the standard of the product did not.

If you joined them as like me you're leaving them just get ready for an absolutely nightmare to return your device as the plan must be try to make costumers keep the device so they can charge you lots of money. I would never ever recommend Virgin. They're not a trustworthy company.

Rating should start from zero star because that's what they deserve. Worst customer service in the country by far. BROADBAND speed they say keep increasing it's not true. The prices keep increasing even if you are in the contract. If you have any issues with broadband, contacting them over phone will take minimum 45 minutes and they can tell you to call back because it's too busy and it will disconnect itself. Live chat on website never give you correct answers for your problems. I have been with them since they took over from Telewest communications since they started. Never wrote review for anyone but so angry with service that I had to write one. New customers gets better treatment, service and deals froM them. I would definitely be moving to another Broadband and phone service provider and would never recommend anyone to have Virgin Media.

Most Unscrupulous Exploitative Network Ever!!!! Worst network. Do not join this broadband or mobile network. They appear to be very good initially but they operate at a very unscrupulous exploitative level. They will fix you into a contract and will have you pay for a speed that you very rarely if ever get. Then, after your fixed term runs out, they start bombarding you with bi-annual unjustifiable price increases, and when you threaten to leave them, they offer you a "discount", which seems nice at first, but after a couple of years with this network provider you realise that you have to spend approx 45 minutes every six months on the phone with these morons to stop them from extorting you. Just cancelled my broadband and mobile. Never again!!!!!

Why isn't it possible to leave a zero? This company is the absolute worst pile of excrement I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. I dreaded making calls to them because they never understand what you are calling for - the language barrier is extremely hard to navigate, considering they have the majority of their call centres overseas. They overcharge/charge for random things, but woe betide you if you try to resolve it. I'd imagine I'm somewhere around £300 out of pocket for constant errors you cannot resolve. You can ring & get one result, but call about the same issue & get a completely contradictory response, usually resulting in them trying to charge you again. I have never once had a decent experience with them, and am so glad I left for Sky. I tried to contact the complaints department and the contact box never even transferred to an agent! It's appalling that such a huge company would have 0.4/10 & not do a single thing to resolve it - tells you all you need to know about their customer care vs money grabbing. Eurgh, they've been an absolute nightmare from start to finish, & by the end I was paying £10 extra for a bill than the deal I initially signed up for & was 'guaranteed' indefinitely. I used the company for various different products, but I have since changed every single one, and could not be happier with the choice. Trust the negative reviews, they are completely accurate!

Came to them from sky as they offered 3 months free broadband deal (£25 a month).. only for them to say they know nothing about the deal and to not honour it. First bill over £90 (and took them 2 weeks to get my broadband activated as the first engineer couldn’t be bothered to connect me so left us without it - but still paying). No compensation- just someone in India not understanding why I’m so unhappy.

Customer services is the most appalling ever. When the services work they work really well but when you have to call customer services you will be sorry you went with them. I tried calling them my whole morning was wasted tried to chase a real person over the phone and they dont call back and your stuck.

I was with Virgin Media for around 6-7 years. There were various issues that never got fixed despite complaining to the customer service. I ended up fixing them myself. Laying that aside, it was a very fast and stable LAN network. The reason for the bad review is that I've moved to detached house and there is no VM's fibre going to that house. I was told that they will send an engineer who will inspect it to see if there's a way to run a cable from our next door neighbor. Engineer arrived and stated that due to budget issues VM would only be run to the edge of my garden where they will create an access point. This, I was told, will take approx. 4-6 weeks. I've couple numerous times throughout the 4-6 weeks period only to discover yesterday (19 of August 2019) that no service will be provided as the budget won't allow it. I was without Internet for a month just to be told this. I'm like why the hell haven't you told me that from the beginning? VM's Customer service is a joke.
