“Have given VM one star if I could give this company minus five I would. Worst service delivery and customer service ever. Awful company in every respect, just glad I am now free and will never contract with Virgin Media again.”

“I was planning to leave Virgin Media in October, than after talking to their dedicated team we have agreed a deal. After a few months I have realised that they were charging me for totally different amount. I complained on the 21st of January and they said they will investigate it. I have been waiting since than. I have called them today and been told that the complaint is still open and somehow they can not see the deal they offered had been accepted therefore they can not honour the deal. If you can't see any deal achieved why would you keep a complaint open and keep charging a higher amount? Totally unprofessional and unreliable . Stay away !”

“Rubish customer service. Wanted to cancel my contract. When i called cancellations they offer me to stay with £28 month for 18 month contract. 2 month later getting a letter stating price increase extra £3.50 Called customer service number of times saying you can't do that i just started my new contract they say yes we can it's on your terms and conditions which no one ever introduce you to this. And you never agreed to it. Its because of inflation and investment to their better quality service which you don't get. So i pay £31.50 and o have 15 months to pay. F... joke. Even though they still offer to new customers £28 month for 18 month contract. On their website. So if you decide to take a contract witb virgin believe me it's not worth a hassle once this contract is over never go back to this company. They care to attract new customers but once you're in. They don't care any more.”

They left my disabled mom without her TV for 8 days was passed around for days on the phone , was lied to again and again , everyone was incompetent and fobbed me off with empty reassurances. I have wasted hours and hours trying to resolve it. Terrible company have gotten worse and worse.”

“Kind of my fault for going back to Virgin. They literally are splitting my 2.4 and 5ghz frequency and then putting it back on each call. There is no progress or fix. Just a loop where I pay for Internet that doesn't work properly. If there's a genuine issue they need to do something. Not just throw a customer in a loop. Will never get contract with them. Glad I didn't recommend them to friends and family. That was the right choice. First and last time I bother with Virgin until they show some care about customer”

“Absolutely horrendous so called service. Their broadband constantly cuts out, often for days on end and their engineers constantly provide times for remedying problems that are extended each time. There is absolutely no recourse for not having broadband for days other than a measly token gesture. Do not join virgin media or do so at your own peril.”

“Virgin Media is extremely damaging, and getting worse every day. offered me 100gb as reward to loyal customer and then charged me extra for that. I cancelled the service and switched to another supplier, but Virgin Media still sent me bill for the period they claimed the cancellation was not completed. Customer service is dreadful. If anyone wants nightmare, go for Virgin Media.”

“TLDR; Avoid this company at all costs! If you're unfortunate to be with Virgin already and have technical problems, call 08000527553 to skip the customer service waiting queue nightmare to go to the second line technical team directly (they answer in less than a minute). My personal experience I've been plagued with issues with their internet since October 2020, and have literally spent 20+ hours, in the month of February alone, over the phone with them to try and explain my problems. We're now in March, I still don't have internet working properly and I can't wait for my contract to expire to move to another provider. Horrendous customer service The customer service is a complete mess: getting someone over the phone is a lot more difficult than it should, probably to deter clients from calling. When I want to speak with someone, I often end up with an automated voice sending me a link on my mobile to "troubleshoot my broadband connection issue". Technical nightmare When you finally manage to have someone over the line, they force you to go through meaningless troubleshooting ("turn off and on your router") even though the issue is unrelated, because they do not have the proper technical knowledge (I have a signal SNR issue where the connection is up and down, disconnecting multiple times per day). They've sent a different engineer 5 times at my property: 2 times my isolator was replaced (and nothing else) and 2 times the engineers said the issue was with the network team, not them (one even refused to get out of his car claiming he didn't bring any face mask and only discussed by phone). At some point, I managed to get the second line technical team phone number (08000527553) and avoided discussing with the technical team (150 or 03454541111), which saved time as they only kept asking me to reboot my router to make it work. When the issue is finally raised to the proper team, don't think this will solve anything: this team has closed my fault ticket 7 times (!!) between the 26 January and the 4 March wrongly claiming my problem was fixed, and everytime I had to go through the hassle of re-explaining my issue (when I managed to have someone over the phone) and opening a new fault ticket. Lack of any type of compensation/alternative solution Also, be warned that Virgin has a policy to only give you some credit back if you have a total loss of service for more than 72 hours. If you manage to be connected only one hour per day during this period, they will not compensate you in any form: the customer service department tells you their hands are tied and that you need to ask the technical team to raise a compensation request, but the technical team tells you they have no control over the compensation claims anyway because it's an automatic process. I have been using my 3G data non-stop since the 27th of February (we're the 9th of March and it's still not working) to work from home, but my claims are denied (because apparently there may have been internet an hour or so here and here). If, like me, you don't have internet at all, don't even bother asking Virgin for some alternative solution (mobile broadband, mobile phone 4G credit, etc...) as they cannot (or won't) help you in any way. Complains are ignored I've raised several complains but the compliance department doesn't even bother calling you back (even though I'm told they will call back within 5 days over the phone). "Escalating" the issue doesn't even make a difference, expect that someone tells you the compliance department will call you back within 48 hours (but they don't).”

“BAD BAD BAD customer service ever!!!!!!!! I am calling them to ask to change my name, surname, email, password because they have got it wrong when registered and they telling me I am not going through security questions!!! How can I go through security questions if you are asking me my details that you spelled wrong on the system?! Where is your logic????? I am telling them I have reference number, account number etc and she is telling to send a letter to confirm the package. What is wrong with you guys, what kind of people working there, where is your LOGIC???? How can you ask me to spell my correct details if on your system you've got the wrong ones. Honestly, I am so disappointed the way you sorting out these type of issues. Very very very baaaad!!!!!”

“When I signed the contract for 18 months, they concealed the fact and gave no information that their internet network did not cover half of England. After my move to a new house, they were unable to offer me services in the new location, so they charged me a £ 240 ending contract. The funniest thing is they still require the router to be sent back to them !!! I also immediately canceled the mobile phone contract I had with them (luckily, the period that forced me to use their services ended earlier). I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore. Contact with them is terrible. They do not reply to emails, you wait for hours for chat, just like when you call the hotline. The worst company in the industry in the UK.”

“Absolute garbage customer service. I moved house and already had broadband setup in the new house. There's no way to cancel your account online so you have to call their callcenter. I tried to do that, and waited on hold for an hour only to be cut off. I tried sending a message using their complaints service but got no response there for weeks either. Now they're still charging me for a service that I don't want but can't cancel! Ridiculous.”

“I signed a contract with Virgin media in September and since them I noticed that the speed is mostly very low that in the online meetings, I am the only one whose internet cuts regularly. I am afraid that due to this poor service, I may lose my job. I called several time to their customer service and they did nothing. Indeed their customer service is terrible. When I said I would like to cancel the contract, I was told that I should pay the cancellation fee. How come I should pay for a poor service!”

“Virgin media have let themselves down.... Again. Their monthly fees were constantly creeping up so opted for a slower broadband speed to keep costs down. Unknown to us virgin took it upon themselves to change our phone package also which meant we were being charged for calls during the week. This left us paying more than we were originally! This was morale wrong of virgin and when we complained, virgin said there was nothing they could do. Very dissapointed and will never sign up to virgin ever again.”

“Their customer service is non existent, i tried for nearly a year to cancel my broadband when the contract finished, calls always dropped, emails never answered, an un-useful bot that directs you to a dead end! I finally cancelled my direct debit, they then sent an automated non payment bill of £38, i phoned the bill paying number and surprisingly got straight through to a person.. amazing... I explained the situation and she directed me to cancellation dept, I was offered a better deal of £25 and i said ok the call handler said there will be a £7.50 discount included on the next bill, nice, thanks. Hours later I received an email for £88! .. day before £38.. I tried phoning but guess what... no response just and automated line telling you to pay, any waiting for a person to talk to ends in ‘we are very busy’ then call drops out! My internet has now been turned off by Virgin with no warning and no communication.. and they won’t answer my calls as is the norm. I am still hanging on a phone trying to get through, fkn appalling!!”

“WHATEVER HAPPENS, DO NOT USE VIRGIN. You will go through hell and high water and still be the loser. I implore you to try others like EE where customer service is top notch. VIRGIN CAN MESS UP YOUR CREDIT WITHOUT RIGHTS! AND SCARE YOU INTO PAYING FOR NOTHING. It is almost impossible to get through to them so don’t even bother. Good luck”
