I am completely satisfied with VMs service especially now we have 5Mb upload just around the corner. Customer service has always been good. There have never been any outages and speeds are virtually always at or slightly above 50Mb.
Can't wait for 100Mb/10Mb

Got the 50mb broadband, its fantastic when it works, I moved from bethere broadband which gave me 15mb which never dropped even in peak times, I got a bit greedy and went for the 50mb with virgin, most unreliable broadband ever I sometimes sit with less than 10mb speeds very annoying when you paying a premium for it. Virgin is advertising 100mb broadband coming soon, why don't they get their current packages to work properly before they launch probably another false unreliable broadband speed.

I have been completely satisfied with my package and supplier. I have consistently achieved the full 50Mb/1.5Mb down/up speed I am supposed to. There have never been any outages. The supplied wireless 'n' router has provided high broadband speeds throughout my home network. VM should consider a router with gigabit ethernet capabilities now. Also I am looking forward to their 10:1 download/upload ratio. About time too.
Customer services have always come up with answers to technical queries, although sometimes I have had to wait a long time for a response.
The TV service is really good, keeping up to date with new technology and with good deals with Sky.
NB I am currently on VMs 200Mb download trial in Coventry. Your speed tester cannot cope with that speed. Time for you to upgrade especially with 100Mb rolling out any time now.

Virgin offer a great service and the bundle package for £19.00 is great then they stick £11.99 line rental on it and that is what spoils it if someone is having phone tv and broadband the least you can do is knock the £11.99 line rental off i now have a tv which we only watch gold on a land line i dare not use except at weekends when calls are free and a broadband connection that is great the first company to offer all this or just broadband without line rental will corner the market on telephone landlines and internet users i am more than happy with my broadband but if it says broadband for £5.00 then it should be for £5.00 with no hidden costs if there is line rental to pay then this should be made clear so you cannot get broadband for £5.00 but for £16.99 and there should be no rise after 3 months if you want to get customers then be clear on prices and what you are selling it is price that has driven me away from virgin and by this date 09/10/2010 i have only been with virgin for 2 weeks if there is no change it will end.

I used their service with an XL broadband, recently got an email from Virgin Media Sales to the account holders email address stating I could upgrade to XXL Broadband for only an additional £8 per month, phoned the number listed and after numerous people they told me I would have to pay an extra £18 per month for the offer even though there is nothing in the t's & c's which support this additional tenner!
Customer Services has one person who helped, though the rest were just interested in transferring me to other departments stating they couldn't help but perhaps x could!
Currently in the complaints process, sending a copy to Ofcom as I believe this breaks with advertising regulations.
Wish everyone else the best of luck...
P.s. 20mb line regular testing achieves 18mb+

Very reliable service providing good speed - maybe need to refresh the modem once in a while to maintain top speeds plus they provided a new modem last year which obtained the 20mb or at least 18-19mb. Can't fault them except their service is expensive and what I pay bears no relation to the low prices currently advertised. I am thinking of changing but I know I will miss the reliable & fast cable service so might just see if they can offer a better price deal. Their tv is good and I can't really fault them.

Shocked at how good the customer service was. Called them last night re problem with phone line. They offered engineer visit next day and £10 compensation without me even asking. Opted for visit next week to suit me. Just got home, card through the door to say they popped round anyway and have fixed it. 10/10 customer service. Cable services pretty good too.

Best provider i have been with. Problems although i have had few if there are any are dealt with promptly. Customer service is great always very polite. Broadband speed very fast normally and usually get speeds just under 20 mb which is what i pay for.

I have the XL package which is up to 20mbs broadband I have never had a download speed of more than 12mbs & that was in the middle of the night when traffic was almost down to nil, well, that is still quite fast i hear you say, & more than i would get on any telephone line, anywhere in the country, but, I'm paying £37.00 a month for the privilege. Ok, I get a discount because i have the xl tv package as well but its still a lot of money especially as its not reliable, Ive just recently had an engineer out to rectify a fault which stopped my broadband from working for almost two weeks, there is at the moment a wait of one week before an engineer can come out to you, this tells me that either they are desperatly short of staff, or, they are having so many problems that their engineers are struggling to cope, either way I'm not impressed. Finally, the most irratating thing is having to try and understand the person you are speaking to on the phone, as more often as not it is someone in India that speaks with a strong dialect and so fast that it is hard to make out what they are saying.
P.S The TV service isn't much more reliable either.
