for two days now I've tried to contact customer services both days I waited an hour and then got cut off. disgusting service, I am now researching other providers. I've been a customer for many years and unfortunately the service has deteriorated badly. I just can't hold for another hour.

We had been out of contract for many years and were paying at least double the amount advertised in current contracts so contacted Virgin for help. We spoke to one agent who said we would need to cancel our current contract that was in my name and open a new one in my wife's name to get a deal advertised on the internet. We agreed to do this and were transferred to another agent to take our details. We told him what the first agent had said and although he did not sound very convincing, he said the new bundle would be sorted out with no loss of service or duplicate payments and an engineer would visit to install a new box. Minutes later we got a call from the first agent accusing us of not cancelling our contract so we now have no idea where we stand. Trying to contact via webchat proved a complete waste of time too. Absolutely terrible customer service and we will now do everything possible to ditch Virgin for good.

It is a company based entirely on scamming people. They called me and said that if I did the installation over the phone, I would be exempt from the activation fee. Then I saw that they added it to the invoice at the time of payment. but they told me it would be free when buying. Also, I had an extra referee discount because I was going to sign up with my friend's recommendation, and they didn't do it either. When I called, no one from customer service was helpful, the employees were always dismissive, rude and unprofessional. Think twice before you buy. Is it virginmedia, never again!

I raised a complaint regarding the poor service from virgin media. On 3 occasions an engineer never turned up and I had no broadband for over a month. Was promised and reassured I will be compensated and they will ensure it’s set up. In the end I received email advising they cannot offer the service at this present time. This resulted in me raising a complaint and deciding to join sky again. The complaint was not properly addressed and nor was I compensated which I was assured I would be.

I have spent the last 11 month trying to find out why Virgin think they have the right to remove the funds from my PAYG phone without telling me or at all. This is theft. Have even written to named person at the registered Office but did not even get an acknowledgement. The amount of money was small but the principle and the inconvenience were not. Most of the letters I got were undated and said the problem had been solved by them apologising. Needless to say, I am not a virgin customer anymore for anything. It is a shame that they obviously have enough customers not to care how they are treated.

Disgusting customer service. Twice they have taken money from my account that they had no right to. I have lost track of the number of phone calls I have made. One call handler actually laughed at me over the phone. I will never have anything to do with this bunch of clowns again. Nothing but filth. Avoid at all costs

VIRGIN MEDIA STOLE FROM HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS.. Virgin Media claims to have a “Automatic Compensation Scheme” but there’s nothing automatic about it.. my entire neighbourhood was stolen from when we went 6 days with no service. No Internet. No TV. in July 2021 in Peterborough UK. My family household decided it would be better to cancel even if we had to pay the outrageous £250 cancellation fee. We have been waiting for a lock letter since October 2021… But instead we received a collections letter from a third-party regarding the full amount .. THE INCORRECT AMOUNT since they never deducted the no service in July 2021. I called virgin media regarding this mistake. To my utter shock and disbelief they were only willing to CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE if I paid the full amount today… it’s 2 days before Christmas and I don’t have £320 pay … Nor do I think I should be held hostage over their mistake. The phone call ended with him saying “I’ll send the lock letter with the full amount, with no revisions” …..we’ll that’s funny.. is that the same lock letter I’ve been waiting for, for months now!! But instead I get a collections letter, for an incorrect amount!!! Seriously disgusting… AND HEY VIRGIN MEDIA!! HEADS UP!! I have 2 News Papers writing articles about this!! So expect a lot more calls from Peterborough customers asking for their £50 that you stole from them!!

If you’re sat there thinking, dya know what? I’d really enjoy wasting some time whilst becoming excruciatingly frustrated - give virgin media a call. Doesn’t matter what you want to discuss, they’re guaranteed to make it utterly soul destroying. It all seems pretty good, clear button pressing system to get to through to the right team. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a team- just a heavily manned, noisy call centre- full of people who have absolutely no idea what it is they’re meant to be doing. 9 times out of 10 you will be placed on hold - then transferred to ‘the correct department’. Excellent. I called to cancel my outrageously overpriced virgin broadband - and after 17 minutes I was successfully transferred to o2 mobile. Admittedly- that’s a brand new level of are they serious - and at least made the experience funny. I hung up - depleted and somewhat tickled - I’ll try again tomorrow. I have not once, in my three years of being with virgin had a straight forward or helpful customer service experience - whether it’s being cut off mid call, transferred multiple times or spending up to 1.5 hours on hold - you can be sure that you query is not a simple one (even if it is) … virgin media customer service makes me wish I had amnesia.

Probably the worst company you can find doesn't even deserve 1 star. They said they would come 2 weeks later for the wifi transportation, they called us 3 days before and said they would come 1 month later, and they called us 4 days before and said they would come after 2 months and 4 days, and I called the customer service and said that I wanted to cancel the contract and they hung up on me. I called again and canceled after 3 hours and 15 minutes of conversation and they took £130 from me even though I was a victim. In short, a garbage company

Had booked an engineer to relocate our broadband cables (approx 2 weeks notice). Day before received an email from VM suggesting I review my services as my contract had now ended. Decided to upgrade our broadband and downgrade the telephone. Later I received a call to say they cancelled my engineer to the 10th Jan, some 3 weeks later!!! I explained I needed the engineer to visit due to building work in the house not because I wanted to change the location. Was told they are pulling out the stops to resolve it but was left high and dry. Several calls later and being sent around in circles ended up being disconnected, put on hold and left because quite simply, they can't be bothered to help. Outrageous service and will without doubt reconsider my options in the future.

Used to be a good company, that was many years ago. Today I spent 4 hours trying to get get them not to renew my contract once it ended. Yes 4 hours. They kept putting me through to another operator to help. I still did not get it resolved. I think that may be actually illegal. Complained on another review site, which virgin then came back with a link to make an official complaint. The complaint line said it was busy and I would have to wait for an operator. That was an hour ago. So, 5 hours to simply ask for me account to end at the end of the contract and still not confirmed. As for the service itself. They used to be the fastest, and they are not any more. A lot of service outages, so unreliable, and you cant do anything about it, because you cant get through to anyone. This is the most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with. I do expect an automated reply to this from Virgin to say contact the complain line, which no one will actually answer. Please do not be hooked into this company, they will provide a poor service and not let you leave.

Worst company I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with! As if the general service wasn't bad enough, the customer service is a joke! The only reason i've given one star is because there are no options for anything lower. Most recent issue was having no working internet for over 5 consecutive days, yet they refuse to even acknowledge all the phone calls and say they won't even re-emburse for the lack of service as there was no record of any issues! One "technical support" operative even blatantly lied to me on at least one occasion. On top of that, she even refused to put me through to cancellations. Needless to say, I have spoke to "Steven or Stephen" (with no last name), and requested to cancel, lets see if they even process it! Either way, the direct debit has now been cancelled. Absolutely appalling company, in every way. Don't be fooled by the numbers that they advertise. We WERE paying for 200 mb/s, yet we got a better internet signal from a temporary mobile broadband device than we've ever had from Virgin Media, at supposedly a quarter of the speed !!! Sign up at your own risk, you have been warned.Kev

I arranged a new contract through Chat, agreed a price for the exact package I was on (maxit tv with bt sports HD sky sports and m200 broadband for £65.25. The contract came through and it was £68.25, but they had removed HD sky sports. I have spent over 6 hours on chat today trying to sort this with Sowmiya, and eventually we managed to sort out another contract for £68.25 with sky HD. The contract has now just come through and it is not the price agreed. It is now £75.25. Possibly the worst experience of my life. I said just cancel it then and now they are saying this cannot be done unless I pay out the new contract.AVOID AVOID AVOID. Worst company I have had the misfortune of dealing with.

Extremely poor service, been without Internet for 3 days and they refuse to do anything for another 5 days. 7 days without Internet these is like 7 days without electricity or gas. I'm unable to work.
