So I have just left Virgin having been a loyal customer since they started offering cable and internet. I have recently moved house to a non-cabled area and so I called up well in advance to say I would be moving, but was told to call back nearer the time when I had an exact moving date. I did as I was asked and was told my services would be disconnected on the day I moved out. I then received a bill for £47 at my new address for a time period which I was not living at my old address for! When I spoke to Virgin it was because they needed 30 days notice to disconnect my services (despite me giving them over that originally, and being told to call back when I had an exact date). I tried to explain this but was referred by a very rude agent (and then an extremely rude manager) to the terms and conditions. I explained that essentially I had been tricked into delaying giving notice, but they did not care. What a dreadful way to treat a customer of over 15 years - disgusting! No wonder Mr Branson can afford his own island the way I've been completely ripped off! I will NEVER use Virgin again!

I recently ended my contract with Virgin as they were increasing the monthly charges inspite of being on a fixed contract and were way too expensive than other providers. To end the contract without informing me they charged cancellation fee (although I had informed them within the 60 days notice period) as if they are punishing their customers for leaving Virgin. They are dishonest and unprofessional service providers.

Virgin Media must be the one of the most fraudulent companies in existence,and the most disrespectful,Long term customer i am and they have tired me out,Price increases although not fair but the least of worries with Virgin,From my internet going off when it wants to'and when it does work it is rubbish,BIGTIME,I live in a massive city not on top of kilamanjaro,Yet they are still advertising to entice new customers in when their network clearly cant keep up,Its like a snail doin the 100metre sprint,forget it,Their staff are also trained what to say because they all give you the same lies,When is someone going to stop this VIVID fraud? Why are they called virgin when they are fucking everyone on the planet? Stop them'This is not right and just not fair.

Have been a customer for several years but then had 3 price increases in the space of 4 months the latter two not aware of until the bill arrived presumably they hoped I wouldn't notice or be too busy to do anything about it, also random tests over a 10 day period found downloads speeds fluctuated between 9 and 19 despite paying for speeds up to 150 so a bit of a rip off.

After being with Sky for 3 years (brilliant breadband service) I have now moved home and decided to go with Virgin (the only option). I am absolutely regretting it. I ordered it online, some how got cancelled (I had order confirmation), I was over the phone for literally for hours with 5 different people, who could not resolve the issue. After speaking to my wife I had place another order via its website, delivery date got pushed out and they did a hard credit check on me which messed up my score, also their attitude over the phone is "what do you want me to do". Absolutely horrible service and I have not even begun receiving the actual service. I would never have gone with them If I had another option.

Phone line never an issue, TV I've only ever had two issues but poor signal quality most weeks for the broadband. The contract price seems to change most months. Pay increase twice a year in 2016. When calling, usually, they are quite helpful and patient when explaining and talking me through my bills. However, speaking with 'Tiffany', she was very snappy and rude. I asked to speak to someone else/manager and she continued to repeat that I need to hang up the phone and call back. Not once did she apologise or try to start again, she just wanted to be confrontational. I explained how rude she was coming across and she then became patronising. Her skills for communicating and as a customer representative are much to be desired!

Our cable system is below the pavement - not in a box above ground. When it rains- it floods and we don't get a Virginmedia service. Wifi goes most frequently, followed by our landline phone service, and then HD TV. Virgin have done nothing about this recently, only put the prices up, despite repeated engineer calls. I am now not only disapointed with Virgin but disgusted too. I look out the window and see it's raining again. Surprise surprise - the phone landline has just stopped working!

I have been with virgin media for 4.5 years and every month time the bill goes up. I called them to express my concerns but instead fixing it. They said to me we can cancel your contract. Really..! It easy for them that you cancel your contract than solve your issues. What a garbage customer service. Their customer service made me cancel both my mobile line and broadband. Good luck with your loss.

I would give minus 1 if I could... ;( Such an upsetting situation...We were with virgin for 7 years and before moving had to cancel the contract. After spending 20 min on the phone and repeating 1 sentence- I don't wanna transfer - I don't wanna transfer etc. they kept insisting for my new home address and checking all sort of details. After this looooong and tiring conversation, he said that contract can't be cancelled because I didn't pass the security and they need the password. I tried to explain that password was created 7 years ago and I can't remember it...In addition to all of this, they kept asking for my new address which I didn't have. Kept asking and asking. I lost my patience and asked to talk to the manager but nothing happened just the same question on the other side of the line - "can I please have your new address" . I don't know who works in these offices but these people are so annoying... The end of the story - after talking with 2 guys for almost an hour, the contract was cancelled...but I was still nervously shaking...

Phoned 3 times, all services been out for 1 week due to box at end of road being out. Waited patiently for that to be fixed. TV, wifi and phone still not working. Literally hours of phone calls, texts saying engineer coming, not coming, system working received. Nothing still working. Offers of new equipment, more technicians being booked, cancelled, texts saying everything working. More phone calls. I can't even get on to someone to cancel. What a joke!!!

Worst internet provider I've ever had. Slow internet or no connection at all. Every single day. Can't wait to change them.

I have a subscription for virgin media corporate-so it should be the best you can get but frankly it's like Internet from the third world. Every day it goes down and if you want to call up you have to wait half an hour to get through to somebody who just says they will send somebody who may or may not arrive. When the engineer does arrive they inevitably do not manage to fix the problem. Annoyed.

Nightmare first day experience. Pre installation team hooked up fibre cables without consent before installation date and wired the WRONG side of the house - tv wires clearly visible on other side of house if they had cared to do a proper examination of the property. On day of installation, was told cabling would have to be pinned around the house - said no as it would make the front of the property look ugly and that I would rather the cabling be repositioned before the install. Engineer called Manager and was told that cabling guys would come and sort it out that morning and I should go ahead with install (now 8:30am). Waited all day - didn't come and now I have an electrical trip hazard outside the house until MONDAY. Waited in all day, lost earnings, stressed and upset. Calling different depts. all day. Apart from Lorna at the end, customer service beyond justification. Totally regret leaving and miss SKY :( mistake to leave - wish I would have just paid the extra fiver a month and saved myself the stress of giving Virgin a chance. Thinking of cancelling and asking SKY to take me back. To Customer Relations Manager, Sean. D. (Sheffield): I hope not making that extra call to the install team was worth the negative reviews, poor ratings I've left on various review sites and your social media, the £45 credit I got and my likely cancellation and return to SKY.
