Pathetic, appalling and poor service. Didn't realize i have been with them for almost a decade. I pay £61 a month for my package (mixed TV, 200 MBPS Broadband and Weekend calls on Phone). We don't use landline at all and TV is a rare scene but mostly the internet. They have promised 200 MBPS but in reality I don't even get 40 MBPS. What a shame. The internet connection is poor, intermittent. I have made numerous call to customer services but complete waste of time and the service is not worth the price you pay. They treat existing customers like milking cows knowing they are trapped in the contract. All discounted offers are for new customers again like anything other company but comparatively the service is completely degraded with no respect for customers. |

I bought virgin 200 and occasionally that speed happens. For a short while. On a daily basis there are times when we have no internet. I continually check the speed and the average is about 20 mobs though many times only in single figures. At times our tv has to buffer, and also on important zoom calls. Many months ago I held on for ages to speak to someone who said a new router would fix all which I doubted, and after reinstall and changing all internet passwords around the house (Alexa etc) it made no difference at all. I gave up holding on and on many times. Eventually wrote to the CEO in Sunderland but 'he was on holiday' Beyond words awful. Actually stressful. Online info states restart router. That's an almost daily duty. Awful. Problem is no other high speed in our area as yet so still have to hang on though out of contract and paying a lot extra because of that, but I have champagne cooling for the day I can leave. |

I wish I could give 0 stars but its not possible. Customer services are inexistent, internet is only fast when it works, that's about 30% of the time, the other 70% its either down or it just keeps disconnecting over and over again. I'm paying 52£/ month for 350MB download and the average download speed is 60MB, again, when it is actually working. Trying to cancel my contract after 3 years of dealing with it and I'm currently on hold for 1 hour with no chance of someone actually picking up the phone. If you're thinking of switching to virgin media, just stop, don't do this to yourself. Judging by all the reviews I'm not the only one with this problem. |

Virgin used to be ok when I first joined but have got worse over time .Had a problem recently and after ringing numerous times and holding on for a life time just to speak to somebody not one person could answer my simple question .Every conversation reverted paying out more money for a result which I am not prepared to do . |

I made the worst descison ever by leaving BT and trying to join virgin, they told me 100% my home is connected and no work is necceserry, 5 months later, im still waiting for "work to be done outside" for me to get connected, every time an engineer is due to come, it gets rebooked, with no contact to me, its been 5 months now, and they just streched it another 2 weeks, when you call them, its always in india and they can barely speak english, like robots reading a script, i dont need your apology, i need you to do something about your horrible serivces, they will lie to you and reassure you just so you dont leave, please if you are thinking about joining virgin, DONT |

I have been trying to get this company to fix my internet fir nearly a month. They keep fobbing me off with excuses as to why the service is not working and none seem reasonable for a company as large as this one. |

I have signed up to 100mbps broadband but it struggles to meet 50mbps or a number of occasions and no customer service/follow up at all. |

I have been with Virgin Media for sometime and have noticed a deterioration of customer service. Not only does their Broadband fluctuate wildly to what I’m paying for but their prices have been steadily increasing. I’m out of contract and thankful for it . For the past 6 weeks the TiVo box just keeps switching itself off or freezes the TV. I have made 3 call left online long enough to go for a 3 mile walk and still no answer. I have emailed 3 weeks ago and no answer. So I have written a letter to give my 30 day notice ( That was over a week ago) |
