The worst customer service i have ever experienced. Doubled their prices and made it really difficult to leave. To speak to a member of the sales team took 5 mins, to get through customer service average of over an hours wait. Would be on hold to speak to someone for 30 mins and then the line would cut out. Tried contacting via text, equally impossible. Avoid having anything to do with them if you can.

Problem with there equipment as the wifi repeatedly dropped. There answer is to try and sell you a faster package. Ignored and purchased our own router and wifi problems solved. Try and cancel and it takes 16 hours, two phones and a laptop across sms, whatsapp, phone and twitter. Absolutely setup to try and frustrate the cancellation process.

Omg, I cannot wait to get rid of them already!! Internet failing often, customer service promise thing they can't deliver, constant increase in prices (60 POUNDS AT ONE POINT?!) Taking me a month to get away from them too - moved as fast as I could to another company and not used their services in over 20 days, have been waiting for them to collect their useless equipment - meantime they add another charge they decide they should take from my account for 'package changes' - PACKAGE CHANGES?! I'M TRYING TO RUN AWAY FROM YOU BEGGARS! If I need to listen to their cheap pop music whilst waiting for customer service one more time...

Service set up 1st Feb, engineer booked 5th Feb, cable wasn't working so just router fitted n cable repull scheduled for 18th, then cancelled again n rescheduled till 3rd March, that got delayed to 18th March. 18th March comes by, no engineer, rang up only to be told to speak to construction team, who said it'll be done within a week and that half the work has already been done. It's now 27th April, over 3 months have gone by, I am without any Internet, and no one is telling me when this work will be done, the construction team says my account only came into their systems 4 weeks ago and they can't confirm a date when the work will be done. The customer service team says they can't even try to book a date as they aren't permitted to. All they could do was file a complaint. I'm still being charged per month for the service even though I have no Internet. I do NOT reccomend virgin media at all. They are useless and do not even try to provide help, half the customer service agents don't understand what you're telling them.

They used to be really good but now they are shocking! They’ve introduced this WhatsApp messaging feature where they pass you from team to team. I’ve been talking back and forth for two days. 7 hours on one day while they reply every 20 minutes. They are desperate to pass you on to somebody else. They need a real live chat system where they allow you to cancel as well as upgrade. I don’t want to talk on the phone. I want to do it all on chat where there’s a record of all conversations. I wish there was another 1gig provider. Been with them 15 years and would move in a heart beat.

Worst customer service ever. It's impossible to get in touch with them. I've been with very low speed internet for more than 2 weeks.

Customer service is awful, speed tests show 100% full speeds yet in games getting constant packet loss and ping drops. Refused to put me through to a manager, claimed they weren't willing to help unless I get a full Wi-Fi disconnection. Not only does customer service sound like a human zoo If you complain they hang up.

My TV box was playing up did all the things as per instructions still the same and then rang customer services a really nice person to talk to and explained the issue, they did the usual testes etc fair enough told me there was a problem with my box and gave me a date for two days later. Young man turns up (Mathew) prods about and it turns out a faulty connection sorted within 20minutes very politely and efficiently. Brilliant service.

Constant harrasment from virgin The guy who picked up was brilliant.. Customer service couldn't stop the calls, emails, texts and letters to harrass me on an error that VIRGIN made. Either procedures are limiting and not customer focused or the company doesn't care. Bought virgin as was sold on their world class speed internet.. had nothing but issues and it's anything but world class! Constant drops, speed lag and excuses. Been told multiple incorrect things when I got in contact to solve the issues or complain.

Customer service is horrible. They used to be so good many years ago. Lies to customer about an 18 month fixed term contract & keeps raising the price whenever they want. When you call, if they can't deal with the issue they end the call! Having said that, once in a blue moon you find a very helpful customer service agent at virgin.

My friends all refer to them as Vermin Media, which I agree is entirely appropriate! I concluded that they are the worst, most expensive "service" imaginable. They were charging £100 per month at the time I left, for internet, landline phone and TV with the discovery etc. pack. So many channels on the TV kept going pixelated to the extent of being unusable. The WiFi kept going down, sometimes multiple times per hour, to which the customer "service" suggested it was being interfered with by other WiFi routers in the locality which is utter rubbish. I left them some months ago. I am now with Zen Internet. There is too much to put here about my experiences with the virgin empire in general. I have made a web page with a full write up at https://www.thefletchers.net/leavingvirginmedia.html

Call centre must be the worst in the world,hostile isn’t enough to describe them.Broken promises,threats of a £25 surcharge if thei failures are our fault.

Customer service is absolutely vile!!! They upped the price and changed the package after we told them multiple times we don't want the extra services, this was double the price from 30 to 60 pounds a month! You cannot cancel a package online, the option to cancel over the phone is through a maze of redirecting your call just to get through and have the call dropped. I feel duped, it's incredibly frustrating and we are ending our contract! The internet works though...but so does Talk-Talk for 12 pounds a month.
