Internet speeds dishonest, broadband unreliable for FaceTime calls, difficult to cancel , as they won t disconnect when you ask them to then charge you. Too stressful to cancel. Do not sign up with them.

I was moving house and wanted to transfer the service to my new address. I couldn’t get through to customer service and on the one occasion I did get through they cut me off. I decided to cancel and as per the website I wrote to them cancelling my contract. In stead they raised a complaint procedure and then sent me an email saying that following our phone chat they were glad the issue had been resolved, no one ever spoke to me. A further 3 letters and nothing other than demands and threats for me to pay my monthly subscription. In the end I got so stressed I rang customer services and agreed a cancellation date and paid in full. Then I started getting emails about returning their equipment and sending packaging to my old address. I clicked on the link to change the delivery address and waited. Got an email saying that someone was calling to my old address to collect the items. I clicked on the change address link again and finally they got the return bag to the right address. Finally just to let me know they weren’t going to go away they sent me another bill. You feel completely powerless with one part of their organisation not talking to the other departments and when you notify a change of address in writing they don’t bother to update their own system. A close relative works for Virgin and I like to support my family but I will never darken this company’s door again.

The company of deception’s! I am with Virgin company for 8 years and last year in November as usual I received an offer to upgrade my contracts for the same amount that I was paying already for my existing contracts. When I received the offer I needed to upgrade one account as for the other I had the remaining balance of £3.75 , so I payed £143 . Any way after this for the last 5 months they are still charging me and when I called them last month they told me that “ we’re not finding your payment of £143 “ so I did made a complaint. The lady told me that after investigation I will receive a call to tell me the results , until the that transaction will be cancelled . I was waiting the results of the investigation but no one reply to me . And this month I noticed that I have been changed again and I been fooled again. I called back on 29.03.2022 , the lady answer to my questions did found the transaction and apologises for the mistake and she told me that one of her managers will call me the same day to explain and do the refund of £130 that was taken from my account but she didn’t called me the same day she called me yesterday 31.03.2022. As I was aspecting good news… I was really disappointed at some point I become really angry as that manager was trying to tell me that the amount of money was for my other account which I paid £3.75 in December last year, so obviously I become angry as when I received the offer and spoke to other services customers advisers they all confirmed that for that contract it’s no balance left and for the other I have made the upgrade of £143 . Now this manager instead of refunding my money she was trying to tell me that I still have a balance remaining of £52 . If this company made mistakes and they lay to me, whose fault is it ? Is this company asking their employees to deceive people? Why should I and other customers pay for your employees mistakes? I been deceived and I want my money back. Stop laying and deceive your customers. Not to mention that mobile data and services are never working properly and we pay for the bad services as for broadband it same very bad service and you never receive what you are paying for . Very bad services and deceiving company not recommended at all … shame on Virgin Media UK

Rely bad service can't get WiFi around the house. Every time I ring them up they 'offer' me range extenders which will cost me an extra £5 a month. Apparently these extenders don't work anyway. Just waiting for contract to end and will never use their services again

Absolutely rubbish service, I told them 25 days in advance about my house move. Two day before my move, Virgin media called me and said they can't provide me internet at new address as they do not have line on that street. They gave me a tentative date of 2 months later when they will be able to provide services. When I said then I will move to another provider as I can't wait for 2 months, I was told that if I move to another provider I will have to pay contract break fee of £220 !!! How dare they can say that, its like robbing their customer. They can't provide services but if customer take services from someone else they will put heavy fine. They gave me option to take wireless dongle for now rather then leaving (and paying fine of course). I had no option so had to agree for that and now after 5 days, I am still waiting for dongle to arrive which was promised to be delivered within 24 hours. Me and my wife both do IT jobs and due to covid we were working from home. We have already missed two days of work due to being without internet and god knows how many more days we will have to miss. Finally I did signup with BT today so that I can get back to work as soon as possible.

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..

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

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
