I want to cancel my subscription (TV Broadband and phone) but you have to go through so many hoops and accept penalties(I have been a subscriber for many years)that you become so frustrated and weary you lose the power to get to the end. I have never experienced satisfactory customer service and the products that include Sky Sports are appalling. Apparently I am fairly laid back and non-confrontational but with this intransigent and recalcitrant bunch of shysters I have to shoot from the hip.

I've been week Virgin for 15 months. I've moved to a new build where Virgin doesn't supply and they are saying I have to pay £264 to cancel as I also have to give 1 months notice. Absolutely ridiculous. The only broadband provider who charge people ridiculous money because THEY can't provide a service. I will never ever use Virgin again. The internet is slow, unpredictable, they don't have an active complaint team (I wonder why) and they penalise people for problem's that are not the customers fault. God awful company. DO NOT GO WITH VIRGIN MEDIA.

Having been a customer for many years I am about to leave because of very poor customer service and incorrect information on service status online. This meant I have spent hours trying to get through to a human trying to sort an issue with my 'new' (i.e. yet another reconditioned) V6 box thinking there was a fault, when it was in the area and not notified to customers. Offers of a free upgrade or tiny reduction in monthly cost which would tie me into a contract do not sit well when Virgin cannot even supply the service I have been paying for . Having to 'converse' with a bot and never reach a human is bad enough but the humans seem to be dishing out prepared statements and not helping anyway! There is no email, you either converse with a bot online or wait in a queue on the phone and have issues with a poor connection and background noises from a call centre. Communication company? I do not think so!

Aggressive and very pushy. Avoid at all costs. They pass you round to different people when you try and leave until you eventually get aggressively interrogated about why you are leaving and they do not take the word no for an answer. Invasive questioning, a practice that should be made illegal if it isn't already. I would like to leave and this isn my notice is a complete sentence. VM need to learn and understand consent and right to terminate services whether in or out of a contract.

Misleading sales people and incompitant after sales. Before you reach your 14 day cooling off period call them to test out the service and staff attitude. I got off twice and ended up on the phone for over an hour just to cancel a contract. Dismal company unmotivated staff.

Virgin media Ireland is such a big lier and scammer. Selling phone online that's not available. Sending a fake DPD tracking number pretending that the item is on the way and lying about next day delivery. Avoid engaging this company unless you want to become victim like me. Until now I'm still waiting for the refund.

They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Sold me a mobile product that didn't work, charged me for it anyway. Promised to credit me three times but never did. Finally credited me then a week later accused me of under paying and sent me a late payment notice then double charged me on next bill. One of the opperaters called me stupid because my phone didn't work but it was there puk codes that were wrong. A total and utter farce in every way. They should send Branson to space and leave him there...

Abysmal. Tried to change provider and got conned into another contract by customer service (!) saying I had 30 days to decide wether to leave or not. Found a good deal and called them to cancel. Apparently it’s only 14 days and I was 2 days late. They wanted to charge me £240 to leave contract. When I told them about conversation I had with one of their reps I was told it hadn’t been noted therefore would not stand by it. Been customer for 10 years and a lousy 2 days was enough for them to con me out of £240. Do not use!! Now stuck in another 18 month contract with these charlatans. Internet connection dreadful and customer service is so poor. Cannot understand a single word they’re saying and when you ask to repeat they hang up!

Appalling customer service, lost phone lines 4 times in 2 weeks. Sat in queues for 20-40 mins waiting to speak to someone. When you do speak to someone, they say they have checked line and ok, then cut you off. Somone did come to box a couple of times, and tried to fix but would only last for 3 days. Eventually had to go to another supplier. Now charging me 3 months cancellation, even though I told them. Hold your telephone number to ranson. Do not use and if you are with them I recommend getting out as soon as possible.

Appalling customer service. The installation date changed by them 3 times which left us with no broadband, phone or TV for 53 days. No customer care, help or support. Apparently we don't qualify for compensation. Most appauling company and service we have ever had- Please avoid this company.

Switched to Virgin Media Business from another supplier. To date it's been 11 days of having a partial connection (For reasons unknown, no one in our office can connect to any Google domains). So far we've had one engineer visit ("It's a network issue"), countless emails, calls and let-downs on the Virgin side. They promise to call me back, but don't, and I haven't actually had a response to an email, ever. So 11 days later our staff still have to work from home, and the call-centre just tell me that someone will look at it (but they can't tell me when). The worst start, and zero confidence that they will actually correct it. I wish I had read the reviews prior to signing up with them.

9 months to cancel a Virgin line and no refund It took 9 months and CEDR to cancel my contract with Virgin who paid £250 compensation but refused to refund the 9 months of charges: - I had a land line with Virgin Media (023 80 487592) for many years but moved 6/1/21 to an area that Virgin did nor service so wanted to cancel my service. I tried to do this using the online system but it did not support cancellation. I tried using the online chat function but they kept me waiting until I lost the will to live. I emailed Virgin who insisted that I phone their retention team. I tried to phone the retention team and sat in a phone queue until my patience was exhausted. I lodged a complaint through the Virgin Complaints process and asked to be contacted by email. Virgin phoned me while I was driving and left a message asking me to call them. I tried and sat in another phone queue for a while. I kept emailing with no success so took the case to CEDR (meanwhile, Virgin were still debiting the monthly bills for as service that I was not receiving). I received an offer from Virgin as follows:- "£250.00 compensation, as a gesture of goodwill....Cancel your services free of charge. Once again, please accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused as a result of the delay in cancelling your services". It was now 29/7/21 so I reluctantly accepted expecting the money to be credited to my account. Nothing happened so I followed up and Virgin told me that it was company policy to only offer refunds by cheque. I eventually received a cheque for £250 but Virgin were still debiting my account £25.85 per month. I received approximately 10 calls from the Virgin Retention team asking if there was anything they could do to retain my business. My account was cancelled in Sept but my money was not refunded and Virgin does not accept complaints from cancelled accounts so I went back to CEDR and raised a further complaint. Virgin challenged this under CEDR terms and conditions saying that a complaint cannot be accepted if it relates to a previous complaint. I responded saying that Virgin had failed to properly deal with the previous complaint but CEDR upheld Virgin's position. I shall also be lodging a complaint against CEDR.

Absolutely abysmal service. Without working Internet for a week. No help from customer service other than an automated response with some tips to try (non even remotely helpful) finally got a customer service rep, explained that I lost an entire week of earnings as I'm self employed working on zoom. Told a repair person would be in the next day between 12 and 4. Never turns up, no call or text to tell us. Wasted our whole day and now face an other week of losses if the problem isn't resolved

Impossible to get any results when you phone their customer service if you have an issue such as mine where I could not work from home most days for over 3 weeks. I pay 62 pounds a month but kept going round in circles each time I spoke to anyone. I was often promised a manager would phone me or that I would be sent a transcript of my call but nothing. And many times I was sent a text that the issue in the area was fixed and planned to work from home only to find I then had to go into the office. Virgin could not care less. I would not recommend them.

Worst customer service ever experienced, when they say they will contact back, they never do. I’ve even spoken senior members of staff and they didn’t bother calling but and didn’t resolve my problems.
