I was signed up for broadband and phone but I just wanted to postpone my contract for 8 days until my previous contract expired so I started to get in touch. After work the following day about 7 o clock I tried to call them but no matter what I tried to do on the phone and on line couldn't sort it.
The following morning it took me 40 min to speak to someone that might be able to postpone the contract but they said they couldn't do it. At this stage I am getting disappointed with the service so I told them to cancel everything.

Very satisfied with the speed (reach 100mbit every time) and with the reliability - we can't recall any downtime in the 18 months we've been with them. The customer service isn't amazing, is it ever? and things move slow.

This company is awful.
Save yourself, avoid Virgin at all costs.
I beg you, heed my advice.
Four months of promised engineer visits that never materialised. In fact, customer service just flatly deny and engineer was ever booked. If you ever get through to customer service, that is.
Hours waiting on the phone, then you get rudely asked for "security questions" that were never set-up.
Eventually a baby faced (and clearly untrained) "engineer" turned up, couldn't figure out the problem, blamed another company installing lines to the property, dropped his wirestrippers under the floorboards, panicked, spent 2 hours trying to retrieve the wirestrippers, then eventually did a very very amateur job of installing cable to the house. It all had to come down.
Seriously, don't use Virgin. They are **** and its a nightmare dealing with them.

This is the worst service ever be warned. Most phones wont connect to the WIFI and the television has been out for a month but it is not listed on their outages. The tech help is useless. I regret ever getting it. Dont say you were not warned

To be brutally honest it is effing terrible lol. If I could swear on this review then you best believe i would be using every word imaginable to paint a picture for you all of how garbage virgin is.
Every other day there is problems, games lagging videos buffering constantly and this goes on for hours while apparently their engineers are working on it... again... for the 3rd time of the week... yeah okay.
You pay out the nose for fibre optic broadband and you expect it to be worth the money you pay for, I was with talktalk a while ago which was half the price and they were equally as terrible. So why pay double for WiFi that doesn't work anyway, you're better sitting down with your toddler and drawing your own WiFi box in crayon I guarantee you that that will give you a better quality connection and so much less frustration.
I'm not even exaggerating when I say that it's every effing week several times a week. It gets to a point when it's so frustrating you want to smash the hub off of Richard Bransons mush.
Waste of money and tbh will be switching asap

One reviewer said ' if I could give them minus 100 I would.' My feelings exactly. Now they are in a 50 -50 partnership with o2 who also have dismal reviews. It's a wonder to me that there is no anti Virgin Media pressure group.

****DO NOT JOIN VIRGIN FOR ANY SERVICES…
****DO NOT JOIN VIRGIN FOR ANY SERVICES ESPECIALLY BROADBAND*****
If I could give less than 1 star or minus I definitely would award this company the crappiest service ever.
If you join Virgin Media you will be paying for intermittent and complete loss of service. You will be told you can be compensated but the service is completely lost so you still need to pay for your service in full even though you sat there for a full weekend with no services.
This like most companies is a joke and they just want your money.
The worst service ever!!!! Keep looking but don't settle or promote this complete waste of service. You will regret the day you signed up, believe me!!!!
They will even reply to this like they are gonna look after me but in reality they will waste your time, resolve nothing and ask for a review

Annoying customer service. They ring you to pester you and sell you a more expensive bundle. But try to cancel your contract!? Nope, you have to ring, text, whatsapp jump through hoops. They are absolutely beyond useless.

Absolutely terrible customer service, advisors cannot understand what you say and just repeat something read from a script. Useless
Charge 4 times more when contract runs out.
Won’t answer emails
Try to charge for equipment they won’t pick up
Cause of stress because you cannot get a resolution to a problem
Would never use again

I have no complaints about broadband/tv etc but the customer service is awful, it has been deteriorating over the past couple of years or so. One of the problems is the decision to take some of the service overseas, I get the impression it could be a ploy to challenge customers to try and understand these so called agents. My problem at this time is mis-selling, I was offered a package on the phone, I agreed to the deal verbally but when I received the contract summary, there was an £18 increase after 6 months, I have been trying to rectify this for the last 4 days.

Disgusting company - miss sold to an 86 year old who called to cancel her contract due to the cost of living crisis and was told virgin would do a better deal when in fact she is now paying so much more and has been unable to speak to anyone due to such poor customer service and has been reduced to tears over the issue. Shame on you virgin media

Terrible customer service, terrible internet connection and they are deceiving the customers with the free gifts, what you are never receiving.
Today I have contacted customer service and he told me, it is my fault not receiving the free gift, because I am calling them everyday and they have to raise the issue to the team everyday, and that is why the complaint not going anywhere.
The service what they are providing the lowest so far from all.

Absolutely TERRIBLE.
Virgin cancelled the installation at 8.15pm the night before installation on 2nd September having already cancelled my existing broadband supplier.
Gave me a date of 24th October for the install. Outrageous and unnaceptable to leave us without broadband having given us all the sales talk.
Have cancelled contract with them which in itself was a difficult experience.
I would AVOID like the plaque if i was you

The broadband has been of POOR quality. It often cuts out. I tried to resolve this through virgin media but was unable to do so. I spent about 6 hours on the phone with no resolution. In the end I left for another company. The price looks good but the service is terrible.

Honestly, this company has given me mental health problems. I don't know if trustpilot will allow me to write as much as I need to write!
I have been with Virgin for a lot of years under three different contracts. I would say around 15 years.
Every 4 months they up the price and I have to call to have it lowered. They use this opportunity to get me to add just a couple of pounds a month onto the contract as a lesser evil to the massive price hike. They then do the same at the end of the contract but they almost double the price so that they can add an extra fiver. These conversations are the most stress inducing conversations I have ever encountered with any company, they are horrendous. I have mental health problems almost every time I hear from this company as it is almost always an argument to get my prices lowered. I honestly can't express how horrible this company is, they are manipulative and use dirty tactics to steal from the consumer.
I just got off my final call with them and I have terminated my contract (As they wanted to add £10 to my monthly contract and wouldn't budge). I was told by the nice sounding geordie on the other end of the phone that the company has to make profits and that they will always raise the price of your contract. I pointed out the record profits of virgin media and asked why these weren't passed onto the consumer, he said that is just how companies work.
I do not want to be part of an organisation that makes record profits and still charge their consumer more money based on the cost of living going up. Surely the cost of living is an issue for us??? The CONSUMER!!!!
Worst company ever.

Disappointing Braodband and even bigger disappointment with regards to customer service. I have been a Virgin Media broadband customer for three years previously in a different city and it was great. No problems at all. Unfortunately in Brighton the Broadband was awful and when I reported the slow speeds and the constant cutting out I was made to feel very small and incompetent. Virgin Media were not interested in the slightest and just kept saying that their end said there weren’t any issues. They eventually sent out an engineer who also didn’t resolve anything and just told us we were at the end of the line. To finish it off when my contract was up Virgin wanted a £40 early disconnection fee as my tenancy was for a month less than my Broadband contract. I decided to just pay the 12 months despite no longer being at the property. I was then contacted asking if I would terminate the contract early as someone else was moving into the property but I declined to pay the early disconnection fee. The person was quite insistent despite me making it obvious that their timing was most inconvenient and I asked if they could ring back at a more convenient time. They didn’t ring again that evening as requested. I then rang them back to clarify what was going on and again I was asked if I wanted to pay the early disconnection fee, yet again I declined their kind offer to pay more money for a service I was no longer using. Then out if the blue I received a final bill saying that my contract had been terminated without any consultation with myself. When I queried the bill I was told by the young man, I won’t name him as it’s probably not allowed, that Virgin Media could basically do whatever they liked with the contract or words to that effect and when I queried this statement he reneged and denied saying it, although sounding a little flustered. So disappointed this year with the poor service received after three previous contracts that went without any hitches at all. Most phone conversations were discourteous and quite frankly rude at times,

After paying Virgin media my hard earned money for the past 20 years, when I desperately needed support due to my broadband going down they couldn't have cared less. Despite explaining my hub was clearly broken and that I was in the process of starting a new business from home, they flat out refused to send out a new hub (unless I paid even more to upgrade) and told me I would have to wait a week for an engineer. Unhappy with this, I told them I would find an alternative provider which I did. Despite various phone calls to Virgin and discussions with them via Twitter, they failed to tell me I had to give 30 days cancellation until I called today to tell them I am now with Talk Talk and this is despite not even being in a contract. They basically told me it was my own fault for not being aware of the T&C's and not reading their cancellation policy. So now they intend to charge me for broadband I won't be using for the next month as its been disconnected when I moved to Talk Talk. Had they informed me of this when I first told them I was leaving, I could have cancelled 3 weeks ago.
Disgusting company, appalling customer service and clearly have no value for customers. Their customer representatives are insincere and unhelpful which is why I will now be actively discouraging others to choose them.
And isn't it interesting that for all their insincere apologies when you complain, they never, ever offer anything other than an option to discuss it further i.e. continue banging your head against a brick wall as they frustrate you further because they really couldn't care less and will give nothing to compensate for their inadequate provision

Awful customer service. Charged us £30 to not renew our contract, which had doubled in price. I don't understand how they can do that. Avoid at all costs.

Customer service is awful. Everytime I have a problem, it takes ages to get resolved on the phone. Worse, I have been trying to cancel my contract. I have wasted 10+ hours being kept on hold. They know I want to cancel, but never connect me to the right person on the phone. Then they keep sending me bills - this company is dishonest and fraudulent.

I'm very disappointed with the service I have received!
This is unbelievable that your people does not listen to clients!
I spoke on the 13th August with somone as my contact will finish at the end of September! Didn't receive any email with confirmation spoke today with 4 different people they diverted my calls all the time, unfortunately we heard different prices from all this people :45 pounds to 32 pound to 29 pounds and on the website they have got deal for 27 pounds I heard from that women at the end that we need to pay Virgin extra 11 pounds as notice was given 30 days before so we will be disconnected on the 25th I'm sorry but I will not pay that as I spoke with somone already on the 13th August so from that day 30 days is till 13th of September so basically that's mean they own me money not Me!
Very poor customer service this is unbelievable! I phoned 6 weeks before my contracts ends and I need to pay them extra 11 pounds no chance!

Absolutely shocking. I keep being forced to use virgin due to a lack of other alternatives and every time I swear never to use them again. I had to book the guy to come install 5 times and after each time he would never show I would call up and be told exactly the same thing, we have no idea Ill book you another only for no-one to arrive again, leaving me without wifi for weeks. Customer service is horrendous and good luck trying to cancel your plan you are going to be passed around more than a hot potato whilst on the line for hours being repeatedly hung up on.

One of the worst internet service provider. Virgin Media broadband is not at all reliable and every time if there is an issue they will take at least 6-7 days to arrange a technician.There service is not at all suitable for someone working from home.

Where to start. In all my years I have never ever experienced such appalling service. How virgin media are still in business is beyond me. This is the 1st time ever I had had to resort to leaving a review I am at my wits end. Hours and hours of phone calls, chats, formal complaints and watsap chats and 3 mths later after my 1st call to cancel my broadband and I am still receiving bills. Endless failed callbacks. I'm just lost for words. 0 stars

Terrible costumer service. It’s almost impossible to cancel your contract with them. I tried online and there is no any clear way how I can do this then I tried over the phone and I had to wait hours to be able to speak with somebody and even then no one was helpful. Don’t sign with them if you don’t want to stuck with their contract forever!!!
