It started with poor Wi-Fi, customer services verified this but refused to repair it instead they said I would need a new Wi-Fi extender at £5 per month. When we came out of contract on the 13th January we rang to cancel. We were met with some stupid high prices to stay but we said no. A CS advisor rang my wife on the 17th Jan offering a reduced rate which in fact was much more than the original contract. We said NO. However by the 16th feb the services were still live. When ringing CS it was found that apparently we were back in a new contract. It is now 28th march and we have had several bills for services despite the equipment being sent back to virgin. Unable to get a satisfactory conclusion. Wish me luck…. Please do not use Virgin, I will never use this debacle of a company again..

I've had many problems with Virgin Media before, with both customer service and my wifi router; however there is one employee who offered great customer service - I think his name was Kiran, who convinced me to stay with virgin media. Great customer service, Kiran!

Basically I am not very impressed with this company, they keep letting me down, I had a quiet a few issues with my account, and I called them a few weeks ago to sort it out, and a manager called me last week, after I was not impressed with the people that I four members of staff I spoke to, and the manager took over the case, and she was supposed to call me on Monday, nothing happened, then another call was booked for later in the week and that never happened, I keep calling, but no one can seem to understand and they say that there is nothing in my notes about the calls been booked by a high ranking manager, so when I call it just goes round and round in circles and gets nowhere

Absolutely awful customer service, whenever we try to cancel our order we get blind transferred or hung up on. Typical off shore experience

By far this is the worst company I have ever encountered in my life! Not only they're unprofessional, their customer service is ridiculous and they're STEALING MONEY from their customers! I have been virgins customer for a year and when it came to moving homes and closing my broadband account the whole process was a pain since day one! Not only my account hasn't been closed for a YEAR at this point, but I've lost over £500 due to direct debit collection that should not take place!!! After months and months of trying to solve the issue with customer service, who for most of the time was rude, unprofessional and arrogant, I still have an open account, and payments are still being taken off my bank account for services that I don't use anymore! This action is illegal and I shall speak to my lawyer at this stage, as no one in virgins company wants to admit to a mistake and return me my money that they've been stealing for a year now! DO NOT SIGN ANY CONTRACTS WITH VIRGIN! DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

When a close relative died I had to cancel their Virgin media broadband and TV account. Lengthy protests they insisted that they were paid a £240 cancellation fee. They ironically were adamant that they care about their customers.

A very bad service. Never trust the customer service. Today I rang to say that one of the rooms in the house does not have any internet connection. They offered me to solve this problem and add a SIM card with only 10 pounds extra. Then half an hour later they rang to change the price and changed my account package. I explained that they gave me wring information but they did not listen and insisted on changing my account without my consent

Finally, after 10 years of bad service and prices just going up and up, there is a new (Fibre cable) half the price alternative "Community Fibre", so I spent the whole of yesterday trying to give 30 days notice to cancel, first by phone (that was the first wasted hour) and finally they hung up on me, then I went online to their chat (another wasted hour), I tried texting (as they advised on their site) they kept asking me the same 10 questions, individually / relatedly for about 2 hours, then they passed me to WhatsApp, asking me the same, individually / relatedly for about 2 hours, and then finally they told me (after 9 hours of this) that all their agents had gone home at 5, now this morning they have started asking the same questions again (which I have already answered all of them about 20 times, 1 by 1 (at about 5-minute intervals)

Poor internet connection and unprofessional customer service. Not reliable. I moved home recently and notified VM well in time. I was assured in every communication that the installation is going as per initially planned date and nearly 1 business day before I was given the shock by email that the installation has been postponed. I stayed on calls for hours without a resolution or support for the time being. No one apologies either for this mess. Another disappointment came in when my connection was disconnected a day before expected despite my special instructions to the web chat team when I notified about the move. My wife and i work from home and dependent on internet. Rather than working and thinking out our move I again stayed on calls for hours to get this sorted. Not surprised that had not received a satisfactory resolution. I had to buy a temporary portable WiFi from another provider for interim internet service. My installation was rescheduled twice and now temporarily suspended till further notice. We have now moved to another reliable provider.

If I could give zero stars I would If I could give zero stars I would. 3 whole days on their ‘helpline’ and over 300 WhatsApp messages and still no answer to a really simple question. HOW do I leave? I refuse to pay double the price they are advertising to new customers

Don't go with Virgin Media. Just don't. The customer service is the worst I've ever come across. Everything went wrong. After our modem box went wrong a year ago, they did everything except provide us with a new one. Nothing helped to repair the fault. WiFi is awful, slow and you can't get it at the back of the house, despite them sending us pods to correct it. I did note that Virgin do not guarantee their WiFi. Broadband is fine if you are cabled, but who cables their equipment these days? The TV service is getting worse, channels cancelling every week. So after a year, we cancelled. Even that went badly. They sent us a bill for a landline only service, which they said we'd signed (we hadn't). So that was another hour on the phone, including one cut off. If they can't sell you anything, then they cut you off. It happens too often to be an accident. Their online live chat, isn't. You're told to contact them on What's App instead. They don't have an email on which you can contact them. They want their kit back, which is fine, but none of the links in the email they sent (twice) worked. I've sent for a pack to return the stuff, but I'm not holding my breath. Don't do it. You'll be sorry if you do.

Cut my landline without telling me,six months later they say case is closed.When I flipped out they sent rude engineer who agreed they'd failed to reconnect after 8 visits and tried to bully me into having phone plugged into router instead of cable .I explained that would involve having the phone on the floor under a table and I preferred to use the socket and was told virgin was planning to force all customers to go the router route in September 2022 .Fairytale.He just couldn't be bothered to do the outside repair.No idea what happened next because he stormed off A truly useless company.Internet and TV constantly malfunctioning,prices rising .. Avoid

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?
