Absolute liars! I was given a connection date of 29th December. On the 21st December I was advised my connection would now be 13th of January I called and asked if they would be advising my current supplier of the delay so that I wouldn’t be disconnected early and was told they can’t do this and that I should contact them myself to cancel the cancellation date for a few weeks (29/12/22 - 13/01/23 - original installation date to revised installation date) My current provider explained that because Virgin had taken over the line, and it was technically theirs now, I am unable to make any changes through them. I explained this to Virgin and they offered me a dongle with unlimited use free of charge to use in the days I wouldn’t have a phone line/internet. I agreed and was asked for all my personal information and bank details….. They wanted to credit check me for the FREE dongle! I’d just had a credit check to join them and now they wanted another one! For a free product! These hard searches affect your credit score and to have to have one done for a free product is a joke! As I refused and explained it wasn’t good enough, they said they would now make my repair appointment a priority and that someone would be out today and if all went well I would be connected by my original instal’ date. Surprise surprise, nobody turned up, a whole day wasted! I’ve now told them I don’t want their services no matter what and now I’ve got to wait for them to contact my original provider to verify they won’t be taking over the line and that can take up to 48 hours! Probably longer because of Christmas hours. Messed about and lied to for nothing! Disgusting customer service. No wonder they rank so low on here.

Don’t recommend at all. 7 phone calls 4 engineer visit cancelled and no one understands much of the language. Don’t go with Virgin as a sinking ship.

If you are considering moving to Virgin Media, please read this and all the other scathing reviews online. I cannot stress enough: JUST DO NOT DO IT! STAY AWAY FROM VIRGIN MEDIA; THEY WILL PROMISE THE EARTH AND DELIVER NOTHING. Took out a contract in September and have had nothing but stress. Virgin do not answer texts or emails. I called, emailed and texted the chap who onboarded me in September numerous times. He simply ignored every attempt to contact him. But when he was getting me to sign up: ''Here are my contact details, contact me anytime should you have any questions'' Our instalment date has now been postponed five times. Yesterday an engineer arrived to do the interior work and even he didn't know that the exterior work had not been carried out. I have had 2 calls from people speaking english with such strong overseas accents I could not understand a word that was said. One was a mailbox message which I played to others: no one understood what was being said. I have nothing against overseas workers but they should have at least a basic english pronunciation to be understandable. Today we were told an engineer would come to do the exterior work on 31st December. Then a few hours later someone called to say it would be postponed again until February. Then two minutes later an email arrived saying it would be on 31st December! It seems no department of Virgin media knows what another is doing, and there is a severe lack of information exchanged within the company. My fear is, if this is the state of the service before it is even installed, what would it be like if something were to go wrong??! I will be cancelling my contract, and continue with BT in the hope they have fibre to my door soon. Virgin Media you should be very ashamed. Your service is a disgrace. Take some time to read all your shameful reviews online and do something about the state of your so called 'service'. LIKE MANY PEOPLE HERE ON TRUSTPILOT AND OTHER ONLINE REVIEW PORTALS: I ADVISE ANYONE CONSIDERING USING VIRGIN MEDIA TO STAY AWAY!! UPDATE 20.12.22 After almost 30 minutes on the telephone I have finally just cancelled the contract. Never have I experienced such bad service from a company. The list of inaccuracies and poor service within Virgin is inconceivable. To conclude I can only say: read the reviews, there's a reason Virgin only has 10% 5 star and 61% 1 star, and reiterate what I wrote at the top: STAY AWAY FROM VIRGIN MEDIA; THEY WILL PROMISE THE EARTH AND DELIVER NOTHING.

Nightmare Gail can t return or wont return a call that she assured me would happen to sort out technical issues experienced at Virgin medias end whilst setting up my new package .Gail assured me not to worry everything will be fixed and to await a call within 24Hrs. This nightmare started 23rd November 2022.To date no phone call.However i have been bombarded with demands for monies by email, text that are not due. I have contacted Virgin media during this process and they are unable to resolve this matter. SHAME ON YOU VIRGIN MEDIA.

Apparently the Last emergency one was never booked. So after 7 days of chasing them for a engineer which equates to 7 days missed work, no TV, Phone or Internet. And thanks to modern technology we can't access the heating in the house without WiFi so we are now at -8 with a baby and unable to do anything about it but freeze! Every time we call to ask whats happening with the engineer they try and move out appointments further away and tell us we never had these appointments booked. We have all the times and dates of the calls but apparently they can't listen to them either to confirm. So some one is talking though a hole in their butt and it ain't us. Absolutely descusting customer service and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone again. From the 8th until the 12th I've called them and been called a liar about my booked appointments. Get Richard to call me so I can give him a ear full!

As I was moving house but my old property sale had fallen through I wanted to cancel my phone line and TV whilst keeping my broadband so I could monitor the property. But no they wouldn’t do that, if I wanted internet only I would have to take a new 18 month contract. How unreasonable can you get? I therefore had no choice but to cancel the lot. So I have saved a few quid and they have lost a few, not that they are bothered. But where they have lost is this customer who now has a grudge.

I had a hard time getting in touch with one of your consultants and after I got in touch they asked me for a lot of identification details more like a bank account but that wasn't a problem if the problem had been solved but after identification I transferred to another department and the same security questions again and again put me on hold for another department and after several minutes of waiting the call was cut off having to repeat the same story again and again and this happened for several days at in a row and finally I started a WhatsApp conversation which also continued a text conversation with the same repeated security questions after each conversation at a certain time I was asked for the same data even though I had written it countless times in the previous conversation and only in the end after a few days lost of stress and nerves to close a contract that was due to expire on time and my rate was extended and increased by 5 0% without my consent! I believe that this could be done very simply with a few clicks from the personal application where you log in with your personal identification data! I believe this is done on purpose to make it almost impossible for customers to get out of a contract with virgin media! Shame on you!

Utter criminals 6 months receiving 6Mbps instead of 60 No option to cancel on website, no email for cancellation On phone, retentions department actively ignored all my requests to cancel - total process alone took 2.5hrs Staff were totally unbothered or unsurprised be the situation Refused to provide any regulator or manager information despite legal responsibility Kept me waiting on hold and refused direct answers to questions for over an hour as part of the psychological process to get me to give up trying to cancel Utter criminal mafia - avoid at all costs

I have only had virgin for 2 months. I am not happy with virgin. I feel like cancelling my direct debit. I am not paying another penny. My broadband has stopped working since Tue 29/11/22. Virgin will send someone to my home Sat 03/12/22. That is beyond a joke. My wife works home home and she needs the broadband to be working. We will have zero earnings for 4 or 5 days because of Virgin is taking this length of time to get someone out to fix it And I have 2 kids, you can imagine what my 2 kids will be like without broadband for 4 or 5 days. They cant watch Netflix, they cant play there playstation online, they cant stream movies. I understand my credit rating will get impacted if I stop my direct debit. But I have already made up mind. Terrible customer service as well. I switched from BT broadband to virgin. BIG BIG BIG MISTAKE. And another thing i am still waiting on my £100 Amazon voucher. I was meant to receive it for signing up. Well it's 2 months I have been waiting. And another thing, BT BROADBAND has a much better signal than VIRGIN. With BT I could get a good signal up and down stairs, all over my House I got a good signal. With virgin the signal buffers up the stairs. I would give virgin zero starts if it was possible. I am gonna find every website and give virgin a bad review, and hopefully people don't go with virgin. Everything I have said 100 per cent correct. If you go with virgin you will regret it.

If could give -10 I would. Previously with sky for 18+ years no issues other then slowish internet so went for virgin for speed …… oh how ironic Please anyone thinking of moving to these jokers avoid Richard Branson et al makes millions and has all overseas workers whos standard response to any frustration is “I understand” and then carry on as normal Lies lies and more lies. Even have engineers come to house say simple job and personally call If any more delays… again no replies Give dates constantly move then more promises more dates moved Explained with wife in tears need internet to work anything. Kids homework her work from home Was set for early Nov then end nov then mid December then poss mid December Shame on you Virgin I doubt any change as simply don’t care But sure they will say “I understand” Please anyone avoid I promise it’s not worth the difficulty

Was a customer for a long time. Found the service to be reliable in that time. Switched to BT because Virgin would not do a package without TV and it was too expensive. They still charged me after my cancellation date. They explained this by saying they bill in advance and the bill was generated before the disconnection date. I was not warned of this when I went through the cancellation process. They then expected me to wait 40 days to receive a refund by cheque. I complained and was instructed to raise an indemnity claim with my bank. Apparently it is completely impossible to refund me themselves. My advice to anyone leaving Virgin is to cancel your Direct debit as soon as you have paid your final bill as they will absolutely continue to charge you.

Absolutely terrible customer service. Staff were rude and refused to accept that their engineer failed to arrive saying that was "impossible". The guy basically said that I was lying. Can't wait for my contract to expire so I can leave.

The Virgin Trap 2 years ago during lockdown we tried to cancel our virgin, we had issues ongoing since the install 2 years prior, after promises and lies, we had enough, we spoke to a chap called Keith, who at the time was working from home (mobile) as most of us were back then, he promised to change our wifi to a more powerful one, and send us out two boosters, from the two main problematic rooms, once the engineer arrived, we soon realised that these promises were Virgin Lies. After months of calls and emails, we started to realise that we were not going to get anywhere, and were told, they don’t give boosters and that we had made this up, and Virgin lied its way out, at this point, we were out of our cooling off, and Virgin Trapped!! Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, after what seemed like a lifetime of rubbish internet, we called again to cancel, This time a chap called Bill gave us all the promises, he advised us to take small business internet, and that this would GUARANTEE us cover the whole house and in EVERY ROOM GARENTEED, it’s a different router and he guaranteed us that we will never call them again with issues (we have this recorded this time, you can trap us once Virgin, but we won’t be trapped twice) Bill even goes on to say, you even get a £100 back if this isn’t the case…. All recorded Virgin. So yesterday the engineer came, a nice chap called Sam, who tells us, he isn’t sure why but the wifi isn’t working in every room (shock horror) he was shocked to hear, that we were given a guarantee but not to worry, as all we need is two booster (arh the old booster promise) we explain that we had been promised these before, he told us that he wasn’t sure what had happened in the past, but this time he was writing up an essay for our case, and we would defiantly get these boosters, We explain we don’t want the wifi as we do not have faith in Virgin and wish to cancel our contract, he tells us, he cant do that, but not to panic, we have a 2 week cooling off period, in that time we will have the boosters and all will be fine….. HERE COME THE VIRGIN TRAP again… Today we called Virgin, as we don’t want to be in the VIRGIN TRAP again, we call and speak Tass who advises us, that we cannot have boosters, we have no Wi-Fi in every room guarantee, no £100 cash back for our inconvenience and worse of all, no cooling off period, we cannot cancel our virgin, we are again in the VIRGIN TRAP, after 84 minutes of being on the phone, being refused a manager call back and being told we cannot make a complaint or cancel, my partner finally got involved in the call and we have now been promised a call back, and advised that they have escalated a compliant, if this happens or not, we will see. A week later and still no call back from anyone!! We call again, this time we are told that a call was logged, but not complaint has been escalated, or they couldn’t see that one has, they can not guarantee a manager call back, but will let the field agent (the con man who sold us this) and let him know haha. The only thing they could confirm, is that we are now tied into a 2 year business agreement!!! That they will ask that a manager call us back, but they cant guarantee. 2 days later, still nothing!! DO NOT DEAL WITH VIRGIN.

the place to find true incompetence and terrible customer service. My email and webmail have been down since 11 November. each call to customer service is 30 minutes - they can't fix it, and the referrals they make to technical support and the complaints team never come to anything. Dreadful company!

I call them more than 20 times for the same reason ,they keep me more than 1 our on the line, they passed me from one to the other advisor , but nobody find the solution in my problem So I tried to disconnect with them and go to another provider but they asked me to pay the whole contract the main and permanent problem I had was that: they offered me 200mbps speed and it worked worse than talk talk with 15mbps Their router was so bad that I didn't even have internet in the next room There were days when I didn't have service for half an hour and as a result I had a problem with my work I can't describe how I felt every time I called them Ready for the psychologist
