I've had Virgin Media broadband for a year and it worked okay. Sometimes it would disconnect, so it wasn't great. But when I cancelled my account after moving out, they bombarded me with calls for days and days. Also, they didn't clearly write in their cancellation email what my last bill was - I am now being billed incorrectly and have no proof of that phone call. They have terrible customer service, and the constant phone calls about why I cancelled did NOT stop after I picked up and answered their questions, instead, other people continuously called me with the same questions. So not only have I been billed incorrectly, I can't officially complain because they've cancelled my account. Throughout my contract with them, they have been useless. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

I was on the phone for more than 2 hours today and was been passed from one line to another because they couldn't deal with my issue or resolve my problem and get me to the right line. On top of this three different agents decided to hang the phone on me and this happened 3 times and am sure because they are clueless to able to sort my problem. As it was 3 times the phone got hanged up am definitely sure it was deliberately done and was clear it wasn't a connection issue especially having been on hold and from one agent to antoehr for 2 hours. This just shows the poor as well as the rudeness customer service virgin provides and the lack of knowledges as some of your staff did not have a clue what the consumers rights act 2015 is, which I had to Explain to some agents. My complaints are still not sorted and my mobile handset is now 2 weeks without service so it does not do it's required job or as promised in the contract. I will be taking this further and definitely making complaints online as well as never recommending any of my friends, families or people I know to virgin anymore. It is ridiculous that I've been waiting two week without any service and still getting charged for the handset contract as well as the sim plan even if the handset is faulty and unable to use at all. I will take this to next level even if it goes to court. I would definitely say to everyone that is planning to join virgin media is to keep away as they never deliver what they promise nor have the right staff that can help you or guide you to the right department based on your issue. Keep away and save your money as the contract we took is not been met and problems are not solved. Furthermore if you try to complain it just goes unnoticed and you will be just transferred from one agent to another with no solutions. Also note that my issue with my phone started when they migrated to 02 and now my handset is faulty as it does not have any service at all and virgin media are refusing to sort this issue and fix it.

I phoned virgin media to cancell my broadband package as I found I could get the speed I wanted for half the price else where. After being kept waiting on the phone for what seemed like hours I then was passed to a guy who I could hardly understand what he was saying. I made it clear I was cancelling my contract. This procedure happened time and time again after I kept finding they were still taking money from my bank account every month. After several months I gave up and told my bank to cancel the direct debit. Virgin Media have now given my details to a debt agency saying I owe them money. Virgin Media are disgusting!!! They owe me money, they have illegally taken money from my account for months after I cancelled. I have today read that Ofcom are investigating them for making it difficult for people to cancel their contracts and leave. All I can say is that their Senior Management team should be ashamed of themselves. I wouldn't even rate this company 0 Out of 5 , I would say it would be about -3 and that's being kind.

Virgin Media don't deserve even one star. They are just ripping off people. Never ever recommend to anyone. In three month time they changed my price plan three time. So I cancelled it after ringing them more two months time. Their customer services doesn't have any clue about their job.

My experience with Virgin Media has been extremely disappointing, primarily due to the issues I have encountered with their billing department. The main problem I have faced is that payments have been deducted from my account consistently, even though the broadband router has not been connected by Virgin Media's fitters. To make matters worse, the broadband box was left outside my property, and there is no router or modem on site, nor have the wires ever been connected. This means that for a total of six months, I have been paying for services that I have not been able to use. This situation is completely unacceptable and has left me feeling financially burdened and deceived. Despite my efforts to address this issue, including previous telephone conversations with Virgin representatives, no action has been taken to resolve the problem. I was assured that the payments made would be refunded and that my monthly payments would be put on hold until the services were successfully installed at my new property. However, I have continued to receive monthly bills for services I am not receiving. I am deeply disappointed by the lack of accountability and responsibility demonstrated by Virgin Media's billing department.

Awful service. Wont let you leave even after not having internet for a month. They make you wait another 30 days to do a so called test or u have to pay to leave even though they are in breach of their contract. And then they offer you compensation for 10 days when its been 30days with no internet but you do not see a penny of it because when you cancel they do not give you your compensation and say they can only add it to the bill. In order to cancel after 30 days of testing they say you have to cancel and it takes another 30 days so thats 90days of no internet with 10days worth of non existant compensation.

Appalling service! Following receipt of a bill saying my contract was ending I contact Virgin and was advised that the price was increasing the next day from £43 pm to £82 (!) I wouldn’t have known otherwise! Worth also mentioning that I have been a customer of theirs for the past 12 years. Following that initial call, via India, who then transferred me as I said I was unhappy with this increase and the offers suggested, and after some negotiation with a Customer Service representative based in the UK, it was suggested that a revised bill of £48 pm could be offered bit that he would speak to his manager and get back to me the following week once he had sought approval to reduce my monthly bill to £42 with a reduction in broadband. Two weeks passed, no phone call back, so called again, this time via the Philippines. A different set of figures were quoted but accepted a downgrade in TV channels for £38 pm. I soon realised that the downgrade meant my regular channels had disappeared so called the next day, again someone from overseas, asking to revert back to what I had pre increase, but overnight the price had changed and was now £53. I was then put through to a UK customer service person, a lady based in Sheffield, who said with a discount I could have the original package that I had with no changes for £43, which of course I accepted. This was 2 days ago. All was fine, channels back on yesterday.. then today they’ve been removed again. After spending around 2.5 hrs today trying to get this reinstated - assuming a fault - I was advised that the package I had was the basic.. after much checking and going back and forth, being put on hold, was told that this would require a price increase to £53. Absolutely no logic or consistency. I asked to be transferred to customer services UK but was told this wasn’t possible. Frustrating doesn’t cover this. No joy, hung up, tried to call using the options previously given to get me through directly to the UK team but ended up overseas with no resolution. I insisted on being put through to the UK customer service, and eventually got through after a 52 minute wait. I explained exactly what had happened, that there must have been a note of who agreed the £43 - or a phone call recording to verify our conversation specifically asking to revert to the same package as I had before, including Sky Crime, but he said he could only offer this for £48. I asked why the previously applied discount, reducing to £43, wasn’t being applied and he advised me that he’d already used up his discount quota and any previous discounts couldn’t be retained. I asked if he could speak to a manager about this, but be said it wasn’t possible. So by the end of this palaver I was so frustrated I have now given notice. Virgin services haven’t been as reliable either, with frequent disruption to broadband, to a lesser extent the TV channels. Trying to get through on the phone is ridiculous and the general inconsistency in pricing does Virgin’s reputation no favours. Impossible to recommend on this basis.

MUST READ BEFORE YOU CONSIDER THESE LOT If I could rate them zero I would a) signed up to them and was told an engineer would be round on X date between 10am and 2pm - took the day off work....got a call at 2.05pm saying the engineer could not attend b) we rearranged it, to Monday - took that time off work too - again, engineer no show c) I tried to cancel my agreement within the 14 day cooling off period (actually after 2 days) - they created about 100 barriers to stop me...each person telling me I had the wrong department, and then they hung up d) finally spoke to 2 separate people to confirm that my 'contract' was cancelled and I owed nothing....then I get an attempted direct debit 30 days later e) then I call again and they apologise and confirm it is cancelled and that I should not have got the bill f) more than a week later I get a threatening letter saying I owe them money (I allowed for sufficient time to pass after point e....so basically they took no notice) So now....I am being threatened with court.....honestly cannot believe this. Genuinely - I work in tech and finance...and its very clear they have deliberately created tech and systems and processes to con customers. I am sorry. This is a fact. I've looked through the whole customer journey and it is geared towards ripping people off

Absolutely gobsmacked by how poor their customer service is. Moved over from sky after 15 years and it was the biggest mistake. Virgin offer so much yet don't keep to any of their promises, they constantly change installation days or nobody turns up. Their customer service agents are rude and disrespectful. The owners should be ashamed of themselves running a company so awfully

Diabolical service right from the start as well. They do not look after vulnerable people. They expect you to do everything yourself. Their connection is diabolical. I’d never recommend them to anyone. They are lazy, greedy unprofessional

Thickest bunch of fuckwits I've ever had to deal with in my entire life. The intelligence of a 5 year old child. Could not speak plain simple English. Most painful experience ever. So glad to leave. Just like the thousands of other customers leaving in there droves.

Been trying to tell them I'm moving house for the past 2 days. Been sitting in the online live chat for 3 hours and live sms chat for 2, no reaction. That stupid bot keep asking wether I want to hold or cancel every few minutes. I'm so glad the building I'm moving to does not and wont ever have virgin media. Will never go with them again
