We booked to have our Internet installed on the 5th May and they changed it to the 31st May due to work needing to be done fair enough. Then they change it again to the 20th June fro the same reason as nobody could be bother to come and do the work. Finally they changed it to the 16th July for the same reasons and the customer service throughout was shocking lies upon lies nobody communicating with each other and finally we choose a different provider and virign can't do there job properly and their customer service is shocking! Moved into our new home and 2 months with no Internet due to virgins incapability. Making working from home impossible and loss of money from our jobs. No compensation given just horrible customer service Don't go with virgin!!!

Virgin Media are frauds and scammers! My mum was promised to have 200 MBs upload and download speed but didn't even get 10% of that. They leave you on hold for prolonged periods of time when calling customer supports, not to mention they bounce you between all kinds of support assistances resulting in keeping you on the line for hours with no good outcome. Do not, and I swear DO NOT go with Virgin Media. They are a bunch of lying, cheap scammers.

Shocking service OMG never experienced anything like it before. Virgin media.com has cut off elderly vunerable oap fone line for an upgrade. I have rang there customer service dept 7 times in the last 3 weeks and no one can assist me. All they keep saying is we need a password that they have sent out in a letter in the post which has not arrived at the addresss. I am mortified that they can do this to an vunerable 88 and 85 year old pensioners.... What are they to do if they need a doctor or an ambulance... and what makes it worse they have received 2 bills in the post since the phone line was disconnected. Nearly 3 weeks on and there still without a telephone and no help from customer service. One person there took all my details and said she get back to me (never happened). Please so not go with Virgin Media they are a disgrace to deal with.

Useless customer service 670863302 Virgin were going to install on the 13th fiber and phone line , engineer came and said unable to do as pre installation has not been done . Phoned up virgin they said manager will call you on 24 hours . I said highly unlikely well 24 hours passed no call spent 3 hours chasing up . My lines are due to move from bt to virgin on the 16th . Virgin said they can do nothing until the the 24th I feel I have been messed about with Manager who dose not call . What can I do, manager is missing in action and fiber virgin unable to make and keep appointments water a lot of customers time . They sent Richard Brandon’s into orbit but they can’t install my fibre and arrange for a call back from a manager very poor service , I’m not even I customer yet and the treatment has been the terrible been with bt for 30 years and no issues whatsoever. Going to cancel stick with bt , I think virgin will bring down the reputation of o2 . I’m a o2 customer might leave them as they are connected with virgin . I suggest think twice before joining virgin . All they had to do was call me and not make me waste time chasing . Update I have now cancelled and will stay with bt virgin is a joke . Customer service is appalling wait for hours and hours . Deal anytime virgin broad 300 Al in £26. They keep putting the phone down On purpose Philippine call centre good for one word sorry . That’s why virgin took there centers there as they are the best at saying sorry sir every 1 second, lovely people but ain’t got a clue . Frustrating. Hot weather in car making calls for nearly 4 hours for them to keep putting the phone down so happy I cancelled.

Virgin mobile gave my pac code to a scammer, and I lost my number . No apologies from virgin - instead they blamed me. Shambolic, pathetic, and crass customer service. I will leave and suggest others do too.

After 4 years of waiting for the CISAS to assist with my complaint against Virgin I had to give up and pay today as I needed to clear my credit score for a mortgage. Held to ransom for 4 years by a company of con artists who fail to provide the service they advertise and then bill you for it after they cut your phone line. Do yourself a favour if you're reading this, never buy anything from Virgin ever. You'll regret it if you do!

Horrendous service The issue occurred on 03/05/2022. To explain in more detail I have been miss sold an O2 Sim card contract with out knowing and £12 has been taken twice from my account. My Virgin bill does not say I have a Mobile sim contract with O2 but Virgin Media automatically signed me up without my authority and used my account details to set the direct debit up. Unacceptable and I wish to cancel my whole contract and a full refund of everything. I've never experienced anything like this before and I changed from Sky to Virgin Media on the bases that the service was a whole lot better along with Customer service. When I tried to explain this to a customer service agent direct with Virgin Media (The guy had no interest in helping and said I had to speak with O2, but that's not before he started talking with someone else and making some weird noises down the phone, then hung up) I called O2 and they said that they could cancel the account but would need to confirm a security code that would be sent to my email address, that email never arrived. This resulted in a 2nd phone call to O2 and again the same thing happened, O2 could not confirm the email address on the so-call account that was set up. The agent then put the phone down. (I suspect that a random email address was set up and using my account details for the payment) This meant that Financially I'm now out of pocket, the stress and time waisted, along with having to sort something out that was never my problem, rude customer service from both Virgin Media and O2. I want a full refund asap In order to resolve my issue I would like you to Cancel my contract with a full refund with everything paid so far and also the refund from the contract that was set up with O2, So far £24 has been taken from my account via a direct debit with O2. absolutely disgusting and pure service. I want answer

This company is an absolute disgrace, how they get away with it is incredible. Overcharging you, then you ring up over and over and they say some fictitious manager will resolve the overcharge then they never do. AVOID THIS COMPANY, don't get a contract like I did, I will be reporting this awful company to trading standards.

Undoubtedly the worst customer service in the world! After an ‘engineer’ lied and emis-sold a contract to me; I spent 4 hours trying to cancel the contract within 30 minutes of taking out contract to be told I can only do this via calling the one team that can only be contacted via phone. Living abroad, I can not call the number yet agent, supervisor and manager all tell me to call the number despite my explanation that I live abroad and can’t. Left waiting on chat by the manager for 30 mins each time to fail to give me any solution. The worst service ever! They can see the lies through the chat history but still fail to take action to resolve the issue. Lied to by Anthony. Junwill, Arah and then manager Josh over the space of 2 hours have all failed to give a resolution. Last response from Josh was 20 mins ago, 3 of my messages read by him and still no response! Spare your mental health and stay well clear!

Absolutely terrible customer service for the entire time I'm with them (including disregarding several complaints). Then when I left them they overcharged me by two days.

NEVER use this company!! I rang a few months ago to cancel my contract due to my redundancy. They offered me a reduced deal but when i explained that my house lease would be up before the new contract ended, they reassured me that the contract cancellation cost would be 150Euro per service. They did not explain that although i was only paying one DD with them and had signed just One contract with them, that they would actually be charging me 3 times to cancel my contract as it was a bundle contract. So instead of the 150 that I agreed to, they are now trying to charge me 450Euro! I told them how completely misleading their agent was , how i feel completely tricked and betrayed by a company I've used for more than 15 years but management don't care. They insist the wording the agent used was 'correct' even though it was completely misleading. My question asked for the cost of contract cancelation, so to only tell me 1/3 of the cost is dishonest, misleading and Corrupt! Do not trust this company, they have absolutely no loyalty or concern for their customers. I was specifically ringing them to inform them of financial issues and instead of being transparent with me about cancellation costs, i was tricked and misled by their agents so that they could make their commission. DISGUSTING, DISHONEST COMPANY! Beware of these fraudsters, shop around, don't be fooled by their so called low prices because they will try to rob you if you leave them, even after 15yrs of being their customer!! This issue is also logged with their regulator for investigation. This is fraud and a scam, please don't make the same mistake as me.

119 calls made, 6 complaints, 6 months waiting on services being connected and Virgin cancel my account and installation after I didn’t answer a call which lasted….6 seconds! All so they didn’t have to pay compensation I would have been owed! 2 weeks and 30 calls made between them cancelling and actually telling me as the separate parts of the business can access another’s! Will never ever be a customer again as long as I live! Staff will hand up when they can’t deal with the issue or understand what you are looking to do. Put you on hold then hang up.

Virgin media keeps increasing our broadband prices after 5 years of using their service. We used to pay £26 a month just for broadband. Its now £48 a month after 5 years using their service . When I called the customer service, the advisor couple of times said that she would look in to my account and then disconnected my call after long wait and explaining the reasons. Very unprofessional. Avoid them at any cost.

Absolutely INCOMPETNT service! Today after waiting for 3 weeks I was supposed to have my Broadband installed. When your engineer came out he said that there was still no cable installed from the road to my house! This was after numerous calls to you about having it done and you all confirmed that it was already completed!!!!!! Still now I am left without the internet! Virgin media are absolute scammers and rip off time wasting lying swine's! I am done with you already and I have not even started using your service yet! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
