My friends all refer to them as Vermin Media, which I agree is entirely appropriate! I concluded that they are the worst, most expensive "service" imaginable. They were charging £100 per month at the time I left, for internet, landline phone and TV with the discovery etc. pack. So many channels on the TV kept going pixelated to the extent of being unusable. The WiFi kept going down, sometimes multiple times per hour, to which the customer "service" suggested it was being interfered with by other WiFi routers in the locality which is utter rubbish. I left them some months ago. I am now with Zen Internet. There is too much to put here about my experiences with the virgin empire in general. I have made a web page with a full write up at https://www.thefletchers.net/leavingvirginmedia.html

Call centre must be the worst in the world,hostile isn’t enough to describe them.Broken promises,threats of a £25 surcharge if thei failures are our fault.

Customer service is absolutely vile!!! They upped the price and changed the package after we told them multiple times we don't want the extra services, this was double the price from 30 to 60 pounds a month! You cannot cancel a package online, the option to cancel over the phone is through a maze of redirecting your call just to get through and have the call dropped. I feel duped, it's incredibly frustrating and we are ending our contract! The internet works though...but so does Talk-Talk for 12 pounds a month.

The customer service is THE WORST I have ever used ... Getting cut off ... in endless loops ... faulty equipment ... Staff that know nothing .... Wifi dropping I have literally spent upwards of 10 hours on hold or on the phone to them

I've been with Virgin for years across 7 properties (stuck with them annoyingly due to the area I am in). I have endless problems with them. Their customer service is awful. They keep upping the price but the service keeps going down. They have no integrity. At one point I was charged hundreds of pounds a month on a phone line for calls when we don't even have a phone (had to have a phone line installed in order to get the wifi), never got reimbursed. Awful, just awful. I strongly recommend people stay away from Virgin.

My elderly mother and disabled sister are left with outgoing ableto make outgoing calls even to emergency services I was promised 5 days ago that I would receive a text or call for a date and time for a technician to arrived and absolutely no communication from Virgin. I am seeking legal advice to sue Virgin as well I have reported them to offcom and the FCA . I am worried sick if eitherof them fall ill and they cannot contact anyone it is absolutely DISGUSTING that Virgin treats an elderly lady and a vulnerable adult like this

Once they have you, they do not want to let you go! VM Broadband was OK, but expensive and were slow to deal with problems. However the problems really started when I tried to leave. VM’s strapline is “stay connected” and now I know what that means. Website does not have a leave route, no email, and no pickup even on the phone. Ended up writing to their Head Office three times, and then just stopped payments. I went to the small claims court who agreed in my favour, and still VM have not paid the amount the court agreed, I think they assume they are big enough to ignore a court. I am not the first, and probably not the last, Trust Pilot have 61% “bad” scores for Virgin Media, so I would strongly recommend you go somewhere else.

Its Wifi is poor to the point its a scam. even if it displays full bars on my devices, the actual strength of the signal is so horrible , I am experiencing lag with 160p streams and videos. I had better wifi even In the ghetto of Africa. I highly recommend this for those who do not care about using the internet

I telephoned virgin media on the 8th of April at 21:00 spoke to the lovelest man who compeltely sympathised with my issues on my account. I was so very greatful for his expertese and his sincere empathy. He explained my package, what i needed to do and how i could manage my issue. Overall my experience speaking to this employer was a releif with my current situation due to health conditions during this pandemic.

Took over 20 minutes to answer a call. When I managed to get through, they provided no help with my passcode.

You stopped my elderly mother making outgoing calls after an engineer visit he told me to contact you to arrange a fibre phone line fitted as well as a EBUL as my disabled sister also.lives with her .however after calling on Wednesday I was told that I would receive a text or call within 4 hours to give me a date and time of the technician. It is now over 48hours and I have received nothing. My mother is elderly and my sister is disabled and as they cannot make outgoing calls what if one of them was to fall ill .?

The worst company I have EVER used in my entire life ! Every time time you speak to an advisor they seem to convince you the next one will be able to help. After sitting on the phone continuously for two hours per evening for an entire WEEK. I decided to transfer to sky and just cancel my direct debit !! That bad .

After terminating my contract with them. They send me a kit to return the router. I did as instructed and have a proof from Virgin's courier, but after 2 weeks they debited my account with £40. This was followed up by telephone conversation with their representative who disconnected the call while I was waiting for her to check the records. Avoid this company

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
