Been with virgin media for nearly 3 years we have not done 3 months with reporting a problem. Last night 26/8/2018 was the last straw 9am the Internet hub rebooted kicking every one off the net. After a few phone calls and a good rant n rave they said we will monitor the situation. Phoned this morning 27/8/2018 and was told there is a snr fault. We was told this on 19/8/2018 and was told it is a area fault and be fixed in a couple of days, WRONG it's not being fixed it's not being reported by the technician, it's not a area fault. after 3 years of constant ringing virgin I have had enough now they say they Internet is 99.98 reliable wRONG it's 99.99 unreliable and to top it off they have put there prices up again. As far as I am concerned virgin Internet is a joke and I pay for it.

There's a broadband failure or outage once every month, so each month you lose an entire day... nuts. And it takes ages to get any of the customer care agents on the phone to find out what are the issues, neither do they appear to care you have a problem.

Been with virgin for a few years, ive been meaning to change for a while as my kids are complaining about internet connection. However recently they lost some channels, that u can get on free veiw, i stuck with them, thought they would make it up some how, they have! they have increased the prices for their poor service! At this point things could have been sorted out, maybe with a discount or refund...not after waiting 38 mins for them to answer the phone, then for them to hang up when i went to look for a bill...5 mins tops! Lets have a company that does a fixed price, good customer service and doesnt take its customers for granted...im going, dont get it they take your good money with no effort in return....Regards Martin

If you are unlucky enough to only have Virgin Media service you then you have my sympathy. I've been stuck with them for 16 years and frankly its been awful. The companies only incentive is making money. They do not care about service, which is intermittent, they just refund £1 per day that it goes wrong. The poorly trained customer services in India are rude and you will wait 40 minutes to be told by a robot what you already know. I can't wait to be in an area with an alternative broadband supplier. Woeful! Makes me annoyed to see their logo and even thinking different about Usain Bolt now!

Do not join Virgin Media! They are rude, unhelpful and their service is unreliable. We have not had broadband for 11 days now and there is no resolution in sight. We try to get updates on when it will be up and running and they just say they're a major fault with the cable in the area and their engineers are working on it. It's ridiculous. They do not offer us any compensation for the inconvenience or for the fact that we have been forced to buy extra data on our mobiles which is expeditiously expensive. No broadband means no TV on Demand do we are paying for half a TV service too. Unless we complain that do not even attempt to refund you for three days with out service even though there aware of the fact they're charging you for a service you're not receiving. Many of our home's appliances run off wifi, our home alarm, sump pump alarm, doorr bell you name a few. It's not on! We are trapped with Virgin in a contract for 12 months. We are continuously having problems with their services. They even have an automated voice message when you call their phone line apologising for the fault in your area - more lies as sometimes there isn't a fault, sometimes they've just over charged us or put fees on which we are told would not be applied. I hate to think how many customers get ripped off because they do not have time to go through their bill and just trust trust that they're being charged correctly. Please choose another company. One that values their customers and one that provides a service and doesn't just charge for it even when it's down half the time.

it's been 5th call to get in touch with human on customer service, Rude person attended kind of talking nasty behind. I want to cancel but it is becoming impossible to speak or make any contact with them. Bills were not same as per contract either. TV is not at all good unless you want to spend £100 plus monthly. Broadband was good most of the time for our usage And it wasnt super good to wow you. Last 12 months I had no land phone active to make or revive call And still paying, Overall terrible virgin experience to continue And cancelling is most difficult because you can't find anyone nor you can get call back.

Virgin deprive paying customers of services we pay for. Whilst increasing prices & decreasing value for TV packages over my 13years as a customer of BB,TV & phone , DEPRIVING customer of TV for over a month & phones for a week per year just about takes the biscuit! Further to this, the engineer bear no callback accountability & Virgin as a company are ridiculously complacent . Experienced and qualified engineer s should be available at 24h & it's Virgins responsibility to hire enough of them to do so.

What a shambolic company. On top of all the hidden fees, the lies and deceit fed to you by their staff (not to mention their horrific incompetence and appalling communication skills), virgin media is, without a doubt, one of the worst companies I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with. Let us not forget their ridiculous waiting times to send out an engineer to even set up the hub in the first place. Once they can be bothered to do so, the temperamental, unreliable nature of the service makes you wonder why you even bothered. I understand that it is often the case that virgin media is the only broadband choice (sadly including my new area). But given a half-decent alternative, I strongly advise you avoid Virgin.

Several times over the last 12 months I have lost broadband service. Once in December I was off line for a total of 14 days. Over the last 4 weeks I have had no service for 16 days. Customer services have been appalling. Appointments made by engineers have not been honoured. I finally lost patience and after a heated 60 minutes on the phone, 45 of which I was on hold, I cancelled the subscription and now have an alternative provider. Virgin Media is an absolute disgrace.

Since the recent changes in the channel list (UKTV channels have been removed and replaced by other channels), there is nothing worth watching anymore. Lots of channels of no interest, lots of channels several times in the list - enough to completely go off TV and definitely too expensive for what it's worth! We'll downgrade to a basic package asap (even though, based on numerous other reviews, getting in touch with their customer service seems to be a nightmare) and then look for another provider!

I tried to arrange installation for months. I signed a contract in May, and in early June I was told that it would take 6-8 weeks to organise the install as the council needed to provide consent for the works. My postcode is listed on their website as being in a VM area, and fibre cables run down my road. Engineers attended and spray painted green markings on the side of the road and pavement to show the 1m distance the cable would need to be routed. I was informed that there was a budget for these works and the access point to be created on the boundary wall of the property, and that it was just a matter of time. Having not heard anything for 8 weeks I called VM to ask for an update, and I was told that the install and contract had been cancelled as it was too expensive for VM to proceed with the required works and that a note had been put on the file to say I’d been informed. I hadn’t been - not by email, text or phone call - and I still wouldn’t know if I hadn’t called. I paid £300 to the freeholder for the wayleave approval which was completely unnecessary and I cannot reclaim. I would have thought it sensible for the budget for the works to be approved before the wayleave was submitted and signed, but clearly this isn’t the case. I’ve therefore wasted four months and £300 to try to organise a service that could never be provided to me in the first place, despite VM assuring me otherwise. I’ve never been so wildly misled by a company, and I’m furious that I’ve thrown away £300 for no reason whatsoever.

Unprofessional service, lazy workers and liars I’ve got two confirmations from Virgin Media office and Virgin web site that my address could be connected to Virgin fiber internet. I placed order and signed contract 1 month in advance before the date of installation. I was bad surprised when Virgin Media team notes me 11 hours before installation that they had to change installation date because of their engineers last minute found no cable that leads from their cabinet to my home and asked to wait for the extra 22 days to get approvals from local authority! They did noting during whole month and tried to do their work during last minute! Strange things. I had to cancel the contract with Virgin Media and find another supplier. I had to stay two months without internet thanks to lazy workers of Virgin Media. It could be waste of time and extra expenses when we chose Virgin Media as it was in my case. I am not upset. I am extremely upset with Virgin Media!

Disgusting what they have done with taking off the ten channels. Also the customer service is terrible. They do not listen to you and basically read out a script to you like robots. They are rude and don't give you the chance to speak and just talk over you. Left them for sky and will never go back after being with them for 20years.
