Please don’t go with this company I was with them for years and they kept just putting the monthly fee up till I was paying £130 a month when I’d had enough and they refused to drop the payments I left put in my 30 day notice was told last bill £85. They taken £130 refused to refund the money saying I had to Wait 45 days. The equipment booked in collocation they didn’t come. Then sent 1 box for 4 virgin boxes on the day I received this box I got a text saying I was charged £40 for not returning their equipment. After trying to demand the fine be removed and for them to return my money, Was told the fine would be removed when I get a box myself and post back myself their equipment and I still have to wait for the money they had taken that wasn’t theirs because it’s their policy. That’s not counting the times I was passed around and phone put down on me trying to sort this out I have never been treated like this in my life. It’s criminal what their doing and getting away with it.

I paid all the bills on time. When I was trying to move the service from my old home to a new home I requested a technician but they didn't agree and they asked me to install it at the new address myself. Submitted a request on Saturday to disconnect the service on Monday (at the old address) and activate it at the new address. They were supposed to disconnect at 12 pm (my request was) but they disconnected at 12 am. Called them and they were very rude. Supposed to be back ON at the new address at 8 am but has not been activated till now. Called 6 times and went through many security questions but still not fixed yet. Very bad customer service and rude agents but they sent me an estimated bill for 71 GBP at the new address. They don't even know how to pull my account with my account number. Worst experience. Avoid this provider at all costs.

Everything is awful about their service: dropping out, stopping altogether, always being fixed but never actually working. Shockingly bad - avoid at all costs.

Tried to change contract from landline and broadband to broadband only ,simple ??.was on the phone for nearly two hours .she was trying to sell me mobile phone deals ,extra tv channels which I don't want ..to change to broadband only was more expensive than what I am currently paying .so to change to a lower rate I had to change my password which I done .she said the new contract will be sent .went on their link and it wouldn't accept my name so I couldn't see it..tried ringing them several times they were asking for my password,,wouldn't accept that . Next day spent nearly an hour trying to get through to them, eventually I got through to them only to have to go through the whole procedure again ..this is the worst customer service I have ever known If I had known about it I would have cancelled virgimedia and went somewhere else .speaking to someone you can understand might help ,I would advise anyone to try elsewhere..

This company should be banned in the UK. This was the most fraudulent service I have ever experienced.

Shocking customer service. Would leave 0 stars if I could. Awful internet connection,they should not be able to call themselves fibre. Impossible to get through to cancellation department ,but you can immediately get through to “add a service to account” department. Spent hours on hold and then call cuts off. Call handlers don’t know what they doing,lying.manager argues back and doesn’t care,saying they not going to throw money at customer as the soliton. Never again.

Over an hour and a half later cant speak to anyone on WhatsApp or the phone. Still on hold. Taken too much money out of my bank 3rd month in a row. Send you round in circles so you have to give up to get on with your day. THEY DONT CARE AND WILL NOT HELP

The service is pretty fast when it works however it goes down more than any other provider I've tried. They increase the price by a few £ every few months and until your 18 or 24 month contract ends you cannot leave. I am currently trying to leave, this began at 4:30pm yesterday, I called their customer service, waited on hold for 25 minutes and was immediately hung up on when I got through. I called again and was given the option to communicate via text, which I selected. I got a text which I replied to, answered a number of questions before being told the conversation had to move to whatsapp, spoke to someone on whatsapp who asked me a load more questions (many of which I had already answered) before being told I would be transferred to someone to deal with my query. After 25 minutes I spoke to a person who asked me a load more questions (many of which I had already answered, sometimes twice) he then said he couldn't deal with my query but would transfer me to someone who could. 17 hours, yes 17 HOURS later I got a reply with another person asking me the same questions yet again. At the end of virtually every message I said please just cancel my contract. He kept offering reductions in prices (despite me previously being told that was not possible) but not anywhere near as cheap as new customer offers. It is currently 10:52am, the person has finally agreed to cancel my contract...in 30 days time.

In the beginning, been transferred to the WharsApp boot.... for over 2 weeks couldn't fix anything there. THIS COMPANY IS A JOKE and wasting your time

Tell to your family and friends as well to not buy Virgin Media Broadband, no and never. —— I ordered Virgin Media Broadband but their engineers couldn’t install the broadband in my home even in more than 2 months of time. —— I ordered Virgin Media Broadband ( Acc No: 220934803 ) on or before 19-Apr-2022 and received a confirmation that their engineer will come to my home to install the Broadband on 16-May-2022. The Virgin Media engineer came to my home on 16-May-2022 but he told me that the Virgin Media didn’t complete the work for installation of cables and box outside of my home. He couldn’t install the broadband. But he told me before leaving that someone will come to complete the outside work on 19-May-2022. So, that was just start of their Rubish promises. They were keep lying. Engineer will come this date, someone will come that date. I started trying to cancel the order. But they were not canceling the order as well. I tried to cancel many times through Virgin Media online Chat, WhatsApp Chat and tried to call their cancellation team on the phone. I was wasting very very long time to speak to the cancellation team on the phone. They were not canceling the order. Their wait time to speak to the cancellation team on the phone was more than 30 minutes normally but sometimes was around 1 hour. So on, so on, … And then finally Virgin Media WhatsApp chat advisor send me the order cancellation confirmation yesterday, 25-Jun-2022 on WhatsApp. I am very much frustrated.

Worst broadband service and customer service ever. I paid good money for 100mb per month and the broadband always down for no reason and the speed hover around 50 to 100mb, most of the time between 50-75mbps.. complaint many times about it they end up telling me there are too many devices in the house so asked me to upgrade to 200mb and I did to try it out, end up same problem, speed mostly 30 to 50% slower and broadband line is unstable and disconnected. now the broadband is offline for 3 days.. I am leaving VM for good, waited more than 1 hour for customer service to connect me to 'cancellation team'.. worst provider ever..

Constant dropouts and terrible customer service. Compensation scheme for poor connectivity is a joke. Avoid. I'd leave more information about my time with the provider but I'd be typing for hours.

I was on the phone for 2 hrs being passed around departments and it seemed countries. I was left on hold twice for 15 minutes and presumed I had been cut off. The worst customer service experience I have ever had.

Virgin media is a good service until you want to leave. Basically you are trapped and cannot leave due to not being able to cancel via email, text, letter or over the phone. They just mess you around and pass you on, wasting hours of your time. Even if you cancel with your bank they still bill you. Very fraudulent, avoid as this is a scam and a trap. Should be illegal
