The internet itself is ok. Although i am not using much of the data,I feel it gets slow in rush hour. The worst part is the customer service! it is impossible to get through. I have wasted a lot of money calling customer service on premium lines. I have been disconnected repeatedly after being on the call for 40min to an hour! I feel as i was lured in a trap with no escape

I recently took advantage of upgrade offer ordered through my VM account, only to be told that the offer is no longer available. Not only am I paying more money, I have to wait a week for it to be setup. Also the offer is still showing on my account.

I am absolutely appalled by Virgin Media's customer service. Last night I was trying to get through to Virgin regarding a "supposed new router" they have sent us, however the password is incorrect and doesn't work so perhaps we have been sent a refurbished router! In any event, i was on the phone for an hour and when I got through it was customer services and he advised that when I next phone I should choose option for technical support. I advised that I had pressed the option for technical support. He said "not to worry, I will transfer you and prioritise your call. " He transferred me and after being on hold for about 1.5 hours in total the call got disconnected. I rang again and the same thing happened I was on hold for over an hour and the call got disconnected. This happened 4 times (two of the calls got disconnected in less than 1 hour). I certainly would not recommend Virgin to anyone and in fact will probably switch to another provider now.

persistent 2-3 week area outages every month since spring. Cannot maintain a constant speed. So they claim 500mbps for our package, and it can drop to 8, which means not functioning. They have not compensated us for any of this. And it takes about an hour waiting on the phone to speak to customer service. Keep away. We are switching providers for the whole building and everyone is prepared to pay to break their useless contract

Who cares about existing customers?!? It's a pity that Virgin Media can only offer an £8 discount to long term customers and new customers are favoured yet again with a £50 discount, a free 43" TV, SIM card and top quality Internet service. Disgusting customer service and an insult to their existing customers!

Your company is INCOMPETENT. It takes FOUR phone calls to move services from one property to another. You DON"T take direct debit for internet payment and until I get a letter of late paymemt charge I have to call you to sort it out. YOU TELL ME IT'S SORTED. I check my statement to see it wasn"t sorted at all IDIOT STAFF. I call AGAIN to get it sorted. I'm on hold because I failed security, I look at my emails that say I owe you from last payment. You refuse to let me speak to a manager and refuse to listen to me tell you the number and email address etc to get passed security to speak to. I already spent 40mins on the phone trying to get through. YOU WONT BE GETTING ANY PAYMENT THAT YOU SAY I OWE. You treat customers who have been loyal over 10 years. Incompetent lazy and stupid staff!!!

If it was possible to give negative starts i would. I took over a Virgin account for bereavement reasons, it took 3 attempts for Virgin to get me on the account. They then sent my bank details to an unassigned indiviudal via email (and despite submitting 3 formal complaints on this they have simply ignored me and "can't find the email their side", luckily i have a copy). They have consciiously provided me with approximately 20% of the internet speed i pay for and only provided me with a booster once i went to the financial ombudsman. Finally, when cancelling my account it took 50 minutes, with the majority of that being on hold whilst their "system processes the request". Anyone know a good lawyer?

Disgraceful. Avoid like the plague!!! If I could put zero star i will do it. First the WiFi was not very good upstairs (even that we had the M100 fiber ) then it's a nightmare to cancel the service (first contact 2 weeks before the end of the contract: the person on the phone confirmed that the service will be ended in 30 days and even explain how we will have to send back the box RESULT :a few days later an email was received to state that a new 12 months contract has been signed. Since after more phone call, messages on their website and 2 official complains: still no cancellation and even a new bill with higher price for the Internet and the HUGE cost to call their customer service HELP YOURSELF: choose another supplier

There are constant issues with my broadband and home phone line. They have sent me letters saying work will be carried out in my area of which services may be intermittent on that day up until 4pm. 4pm comes and goes with services still down I check their website where it's been updated to another time of 6pm. 6pm comes around and yet again the timeframe has been moved to 9pm. This keep happening until around 11pm or 12pm. This has happened multiple times now and I'm trying to work from home in an ecommerce role where you can imagine having a stable internet connection is vital. Other than that I have constant drop outs of service like today. With no notification of service interruption. I checked their website and yet again it says there are issues in the area. Again saying the deadline for this fix is 3pm. But obviously that means nothing to them. I booked in an engineer to visit my property with a AM timeframe only to wait around all day up until 8pm when no one turned up. Their customer service is terrible offering no support or compensation for these constant interruptions. Spending over an hour on hold totalling up to 4 hours trying to resolve my issues bout my services. I've made 4 complaint with their team of which nothing was resolved. I genuinely have never seen such poor service from a company.

Paid three months upfront in September. Promised install ahead of business opening. Appealing, offensive, inept customer service. Four failed attempts at install. Had to buy temporary mifi, no compensation, no proper apology, still no service months later. Avoid avoid avoid. Hurrendous, by far the worst experience I've ever had as a customer of any company... Ever. Hours and hours wasted with them.

Virgin’s customer service is simply awful, possibly the worst that I have ever experienced. When I ring up to make general enquiries I’m met with forced marketing and offers that I’d never requested. In one instance, whilst online with a chat representative I signed up to receive a £30 discount on the installation of my virgin package. I had asked for both broadband and landline and in the end all I was left with was broadband but at an even higher cost than was originally listed, with no trace of the discount promised. I tried to contact them in order to lodge a complaint to which the response was that I’d be contacted in 14 days. Two months down the line and I still had not once heard from them. I find it absolutely disgraceful that I didn’t receive a call back as promised and when you do in fact try to get in contact with them over the phone you only get through to an automated server. I wouldn’t recommend their services at all. Don’t sign up with Virgin, they’re a terrible company.

Customer service. Just impossible to access. So if there is a service problem one simply cannot get through. And of course cannot cancel / amend / sort direct debit / etc one is frighteningly trapped. Avoid at all costs.

It’s not as fast as advertised and it’s very expensive. Broadband nearly twice the price of competitors for my area. Customer service is a joke and they make cancelling very difficult. I wouldn’t recommend them.

Horrific customer service. Avoid! Spent 7 hours on 6 different calls and chats trying to resolve an overcharging issue that was their mistake and was repeatedly lied to. In the end they closed the complaint without resolution. They do not care at all.

Appalling: Virgin Media could train other companies in how NOT to do customer service. After many years as a VM customer, I cancelled in protest at how they treat loyal customers whilst courting new customers. I was over-charged on my final bill and they took nine months to respond to my complaint with a really lame response: "refer to self-care" (what does that even mean?!) When I told them that I did not accept their response, they sent me exactly the same answer! I have had to escalate the complaint to ombudsman just to try to get something done about this truly terrible company. NEW CUSTOMERS: AVOID VIRGIN MEDIA.
