“Virgin Business Broadband – think twice! Virgin is advertising their VOOM 500 for small business online with their marketing slogan “Fast is good. Ultrafast is better” or “Ultrafast, Ultra-reliable”. But be forewarned, don’t be fooled! Having committed to their VOOM Fibre broadband for our business we have found ourselves without internet on more occasions than acceptable in this day and age. The first incident occurred in November 2020 when they claimed the fibre broadband line has broken and they need to “repull the wires” (a term that I have started to literally despise!) this repull took them until mid-January 2021. We were all happy that finally we had internet and we could operate our business again without having to rely on hotspots that kept cutting out. But fear not, our bliss was short lived! Mid-March 2021 the internet went down again and we were told early April that they need to “repull the wires” as they have broken… Again. I was told that the fibre line is too thin and can’t handle the speed at which point I started to question whether this is something we have to expect on happening every other month as clearly if so, this broadband is not fit for purpose! Since early April I am being told “the works have been rescheduled to the next day”, only to find that the next day is then the next day and then the next day… you get the gist. Also don’t bother calling their Faults Team as they are useless, all they will do, if you are lucky, read what they see on the screen, frankly you would get more information out of a monkey! On several occasions did I provide an update to them and they would call me to update their records with an update from what I found out. I should have asked to be put on their payroll! It is now end of May and we are still without internet, it’s borderline insane. Early April, I also demanded that they provide us with one of their MiFi options, which initially they had the audacity to tell me we have to pay an additional £7. Excuse me!? So you charge us £75 for an internet connection that is non-existent and ask for an additional £7 so that we can run our business because you are incapable of fixing our business broadband? The mind seriously bogles. After a lot of emails back and forth, they begrudgingly sent out on of their “dongles” but don’t think it came in a box with instructions. No, we received a few bits in a plastic Ziploc bag with no instructions. When I spoke to our contact he said that he has never seen such a contraption, but managed to unearth an instruction manual or as he called it a “handy guide”, only that the guide wasn’t handy at all and neither was the dongle. Needless to say, that it didn’t work! The light didn’t even flash, letting me believe the part is either faulty or broken, with no surprise as it is clearly a returned item. So back we are at square one, more than 2 months in, running a business without internet! If you are looking for a fast broadband for your business, Virgin definitely isn’t your answer! Stay away at all costs.”

“The worst company ever, paying so much for just internet, and my daughter still cannot participate in online lessons just because this company cannot take care of their costumer.”

“Genuinely the worst wifi package I have ever had to endure, speeds of under 1mbps for hours at a time, every day. Impossible to stream any movies, work from home or even use your mobile phone. Making it worse, they sent out technicians to fix it who told us there was nothing wrong. Less than 1mbps is ‘nothing wrong’”

“We have been loyal customers with Virgin Media for 23 years, so disappointing they have no good will. We are paying approximately £40 a month more than new customers and comparable providers. I tried to speak to virgin media after holding for over an hour I was told if you are not happy just leave. Disgraceful”

“Virgin Media are a company that are only interested in getting money off you. If you have an issue it is impossible to get anyone to deal with it. You can only speak to an Indian call centre and only then after at least a 1 hour wait for your call to be answered. Even then nothing is done. They are completely impervious to complaint .”

“The TV and broadband was faulty from the beginning. Took me hours of calls and almost 5 days to get through to someone who could help, I cancelled the services immediately and Virgin with drew their services without warning despite saying they would contact me first. They then billed me despite being assured they wouldn't on my cancellation call. I called back and was assured that a credit would be raised and received an email to that effect. They then sent another bill the following month. I spoke to someone who said that it should have been credited and they would speak to their manager to ensure it was. They then sent another bill the following month and followed up the same day with an email demanding payment from a debt collector. Another hour on the phone to 2 different people at Virgin the 1st one hung up! Assured it was all fixed. Well we will see if it is! I called the debt collector who also assured me it was fixed. SO TO SUMMARISE A NIGHTMARE COMPANY WHO HAVE WRECKED MY CREDIT RATING THROUGH THEIR TOTAL INCOMPETENCE AVOID AT ALL COSTS!”

“1 star is more than you deserve. Virgin tv has completely packed up on me. The earliest you can come out is Wednesday? That says to me that your service ent worth a wank. And your flat out sorting out other people with the same problem. Would I have the same reaction if I didn’t pay the bill but said I could drop it off in a couple of days??? Sure you’d be able to do something quick then. Cuntarse dickfaced fuckwits.”

“Awful customer service. Lots of outages with nobody to speak to about it - just an automated message. When I left, I was told I'd receive an envelope to return my router. Before I received the envelope I was charged £65 to my account, bombarded with text messages asking me to confirm a collection date which I responded to and finally an email saying they were charging because of a failed attempt to contact me to arrange a return on the day that I received the packaging to return the router. When I called to complain, they just didn't care and said even though I received texts saying they were going to collect, I now have to return it to a Collect+ shop.”

“I closed my account with Virgin and moved else where as they are too exspensive and all ways had issues with there service. My account was all paid off when I left them. Little did I know six months down the line Virgin Media didn't finalize there end and send off to Equifax that my account was settled and paid. My credit score has been impacted impacted greatly in a negative way and can't take credit out. Credit is everything these days and virgin have taken this away from me. I paid my bills on time how can this happen to a PAYING CUSTOMER!? Customer service is none existent, their service is intermittent and ruin your credit score!”

“Worst customer service ever!!!! They just lost a customer but they didn’t care at all. I place my order and didn’t hear anything from them. When I called again the service was awful, no communication at all between departments so I had to repeat myself and I was given different guidelines on what to do. I’m glad that this happened before I signed the contract with them.”

“It is the worst service anyone can get in Horley. They promised a speed of 50MBPS, and when I complained that I don't get the right speed, they said the promised speed is with an ethernet cable only and not with WIFI. We do not promise any WIFI speed; it's a myth and doesn't trust virgin media promised WIFI speed. Only if you pay an extra 4-5 GBP will you get the promised speed. Otherwise, you can pay a fine and leave. Don't really get stuck in this rabbithole. They only know how to rip the customer before giving any promised service.”

“Frankly if I could give zero stars I would. Virgin media are the scum of the earth, they steal any money they can and when confronted simply ignore you and delete all evidence that it happened. Virgin will not receive a single penny from myself or anyone I know, no matter what they threaten me with. The customer service is laughable, any concern we had was dismissed, including the fact that they have stolen £220 from me to date.”

“Disgusting, predatory behaviour towards vulnerable customers. When I had to switch over an account from a deceased loved one I was lied to and sold a package I did not need. When I was made forced to move house I contacted them and cancelled the package only to receive a letter from a collections agency many months later saying I owed money. Upon contacting Virgin I found out that they had not in fact cancelled my package. The complaints unit provide copy pasted responses and the telephone operatives just lie to get you off of the line at any opportunity. Never use this company.”

“if you want slow internet and very bad customer service then virgin media is the one for you. Please check out other suppliers first before virgin. Constant slow internet which cuts out and when you contact customer services they are just as slow. And they are not cheap with costs going up mid contract. I wish there was a NO STAR because I would not give one star !”

“This company is the worst of them all, very bad customers. You can’t never understand what they talking about on the phone, no good English at all. They can’t even do a very simple task. I got a new contract with them, so they send the phone to my new address and decide to send the SIM card to my old address 🤨 I contact them to let them know that the SIM card was sent to my old address and I don’t live there anymore. All I want them to do is to send me a new SIM card to my new address where there sent the phone, so they decided to disconnect my current sim which is 4G and to send me the 5G SIM card I’m payment for. Which is very stupid because they was supposed to send my the phone and SIM card at the same address, and now I’m disconnected for more then 5 days because of they own stupid staff mistakes. I don’t understand why disconnect my I can’t receive a call or call anyone and I don’t even have the 5G SIM card delivered to me. So stupid, after this I’m done with them.”

“It is easier to comit suicide than opt to become virgin Customer I am moving into my new house on 26th April and chose virgin meadia for my broadband and telephone service. I booked my instalation a month ago and everything was confirmed for installation on 24th (tomorrow , but got a call from them around 6:45 pm today(23rd Friday) that they behind the schedule and can't do the installation tomorrow. This put me in trouble as I had to cancel my nest, ring and security camera installation for 26 th April which will incur £250 cancellation fee. Moreover I rely on Internet for my work and I now cant work for atleast 3 weeks as the next earliest availability for installation is 10 May. This leaves me with no option, but to make expensive arrangement temporily for internet till 10 May( hope they keep their words this time). I sm sure Virigin knew they coud not complete instalation as planned atleast 2 weeks ago but they purposly cancelled it last minute, so that customer have no option but to stick with them. This is unacceptable and no ethics. The Key message here for others is that, Virgin meadia is purposely doing this type of last minute cancellation ( I am sure that they new about their backlogs atleast two weeks before),so that customer will have no choice but to continue with them as they will have no time to cancel the ordet and move to other providers. This is Clear violation of consumer right. i am going to register a complaint wiith consumer ombudsman and also will go on social media to explain my experience, so that others will be warned about this scam. Pleade avoid them at any cost. Avoid avoid avoid. Virgin media. If there option for zero star, i would have opted for that.”
