Virgin broadband team has been the most unreliable, unprofessional team, i lost my internet on Jan 16th, had three engineers attend, and was unable to fix it as their no connection in the Alpha End(0ther several tenants had the same issues). I received more than five texts stating they would be coming to do some work/ draw wire or line in the area and the kept going on until Feb 16th (bear in mind no one had the common sense to contact and update me/ or even follow up on the issue/compliant rasied) Now I want to leave the contract the are telling stories and moving me from pillar to post. Alos noticed that each time I called and complained NO STAFF LEFT NOTE so that someone else can follow up. Today is 15th March 2022 and am still trying to get out of broadband that stopped working since the 16th of Jan 2022. Now, they are asking me to pay more than £100 for a service I have not used for over a month!. Am email states I should receive compensation of £8 every day and still not received this. Virgin Media is always attaching connections to BT Lines as they do not have their own, so when issues arise that struggle to fix!

I genuinely don't understand why internet providers continue to do this whole thing where they offer better deals for new customers only. As a loyal customer you would expect to get better, if not, then at least the same offers but no? i called customer services to ask about better deals but none were available. I had already gotten to the end of my contract so i went ahead and signed up for another internet provider and then when calling again to cancel, they then offer better deals. literally what is the point? Why not actually allow customers to plan out their days and contracts etc? I would then need to call the internet provider B i had signed up to, cancel that contract instead? What is the point of all this extra hassle? if you allow customers to even stay at the same level with the same deal with 0 hassle, i assure you would have plenty of customers staying. You wouldn't even have to give them a discount. It's the worst system. Please get it together - because it's ridiculous how you're playing customers around like this. I had the customer services person saying "well it sounds like extra hassle to me to have another engineer come round rather than just calling them to cancel your contract and staying with us" yeah believe it or not, I don't reserve days to phone the customer services hotlines of various internet providers. jumping back and forth to sort out something that we all know could have an easy fix?

If I could give 0 stars, I would. This was the poorest customer service I have ever experienced in any brand whatsoever. I attempted to change internet providers to Virgin and was left without internet for 1 month due to delays in 'works in the area', the installation date was pushed back twice the DAY before. At a time when there are people who work from home and rely on the internet. TERRIBLE. Do not use this company!

Dishonest company with non existent customer services. I called them approx 10 days ago to cancel my phone/tv/broadband (I am out of contract so gave 30 days notice), I was told on the phone this had been done, I was given the date it would be disconnected, told I would receive an email confirming this, and would need to send my equipment back once disconnected. Yesterday I remembered that I hadn't received the email confirmation so contacted them on WhatsApp to check that it had been done, I was told they have no record of me cancelling!!!!!! They said they would need to transfer me to customer relations, had a message on WhatsApp this morning asking if I still needed help, said yes, got through to someone again eventually to be told they would transfer me to customer relations?! Seem to be going round in circles. I know I could call them and probably talk to someone quicker but I want a record of conversations in writing as on the phone they appear to tell you something has been done but not actually do it. Have been with virgin for 15+ years and eventually got sick of constantly being ripped off when new customers can get deals for less than half what they charge long standing customers. Possibly the worst company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with.

Horrendous customer service. Worst experience that I’ve ever had. The broadband is also rubbish. They often don’t process changes and cancellations then tell you they ‘have no record of a call’

Absolutely disgusted by Virgin Media DO NOT USE AS A PROVIDER. I’ve had an ongoing complaint with them since November. They confirmed they have to resolve complaints within 14 days and in January as it had been 2 months they took full responsibility of their internal failings and cleared the full balance on my account (I received a letter in Jan confirming this). Virgin illegally sent my account balance to an external debt collection company when the complaint was still active and without my knowledge. They apologised and admitted their error and said their Credit File Amendments team would remove this from my credit record within 21 days. 2 months later and multiple emails to that team, they have not responded once or tried to resolve. After calling Virgin multiple times this month they said the balance they confirmed they cleared in January is still pending and their Credit File Amendments team haven’t resolved their error. The worse customer service of any company that have damaged my credit record through no fault of my own and after 4 months I’m still chasing them to resolve!!

With no notification at all (monthly email with my package price) my bill increased by £10. After calling and speaking to Ryan he offered me a price of £42. Very upset to find £55 had been swiped from my account. After getting in touch I was told that Ryan hasn't amended the price and there is NO £42 deal. I was also told this would be 'investigated'.. it hasn't and it isn't going to be. Now this company has the cheek to send me a letter to say their email of price increase 'hadn't gone through'.. (I was getting them all the time before) Anyway, it gets better.. they now want £60 from me.

Terrible customer support...just an all around dumpster fire. It's taking more than a week to close a simple work order and they refuse to offer any additional help "until the work order is closed", which is entirely a back end administrative process that is entirely in their hands.

I don't even want to put 1 Star . About 10 years i left Bt and went with virgin media and seemed better, BUT i tried the first time the broadband and the tv and that over priced , so the tv went but funny the broadband went back for 3 years each time and come back the tv cost back....very odd ? Then the years past up and up and up and found the BT was cheaper so we left virgin...BUT the fuss and problem to end the contract with a virgin was a waste of time they still had to pay the contract to virgin and yet using ONLY BT . Look hard FIRST to how to end the contract with virgin ....Because them will never talk to you at all and not even chat on internet . Get Rid of It ...With BT here they have put up new lines ever where so may be thats the best to the future.. Virgin Is going down....!

It's a race to the bottom with all of these mobile providers but virgin are surely down there. Ordered a phone, they took the money out of my account immediately. No confirmation email or text was received. After a full week brute force assault on all available mediums they finally responded and conceded they didn't know what had happened to my money. This was miraculously found upon the threat of regulatory compliance. They then confirmed my phone would be delivered the following day and provided me with a tracking number with the delivery vendor. 3 days later and no sign of the phone. Delivery vendor was contacted and confirmed they never received the package from virgin. Time for another week long brute force assault on all platforms and telephone numbers. Eventually got through to someone who basically told me that they actually have no phones in stock and are hoping to secure some in the next month. One can only hope that at some stage, the government will impose laws on these frauds with extensive penalties for breach of contract, misleading information, delay tactics, and unprofessional behaviour. I would say avoid at all costs but sadly all of the providers are terrible. The real challenge is in finding the least worst offender.

Absolutely disgusting service. I have been with Virgin for 20 years and it's getting to the point that I am so fed up. I guess all is about the management and how tbey managing customers complaint about they services. Customer services is the worst, no skills on communication or resolving issues. Absolutely disgraced

Dishonest company. Untrained staff who tell lies all the time. I was told to pay certain amount in a final settlement but few weeks later send me another bill. After been with them over 25 years I had no choice but to leave them.

Rubbish. They save money by giving jobs to people across sea who really don't understand English yo provide you that service. They have shady tactics to entrap customers especially vulnerable ones like myself whom has had a stroke. They do not have sympathy but will pounce on any vulnerable person to drain them. I have been put of using there gyms and even planes in future. I do not trust them.

Shocking. Virgin make it absolutely impossible to cancel your account. We are moving house and have been trying to cancel the account for 2 days. The phone lines are incredibly difficult to get through, you will have to wait and listen to all their promo ads for a long long time, only to get through and be put on hold again. The WhatsApp service is the same. I've spent two days answering the same questions. But their is no other way to cancel. The fact they make is so difficult to cancel is really shocking and a horrible money making tactic. We definitely certainly NOT be using their services again once we can FINALLY close our account!!
