“If I could give them minus 1, then I would of done. I can write up a very long why I gave virgin media 1 star rating. I have never come across such an awful company in all of my life in having an internet provider. You upgrade due to the poor speed which they blame it is your thick walls lol, then you upgrade to a faster speed, to later find because you have upgraded they have also started the 18 month contract again. The phone lines are awful. Yu spend more time waiting for the call to speak to someone, then you find yourself trying to understand what they are saying. Then they try and sell you a mobile phone. I have lost the will to live with these people. Stay away from Virgin. I will go back to either BT or Sky.”

“Sly robbing and untrustworthy. I spoke to virgin representative about joining virgin. I explained what I got with my previous package with sky, they said they could match it. Over 300 channels and broadband for £32. I jumped at the offer. Now I work away for a living. When I came home I found out that I only had the basic package. When I rang virgin they said I can have the channels I wanted but at an additional cost. Nearly 3 times the amount. When I complained, for some unknown reason all they're calls are recorded but not the one of the sales rep. If you want a good package. Go to sky”

“I was a Virgin Media customer for 2 years and my contract expired. An incentive to stay with them was made with a price reduction but promises were not kept. I called 6 times, opened 4 support tickets, talked to them via the WhatsApp chat twice. All issues were closed and supposedly resolved but were clearly not. With no feedback, I kept calling every 30 days as the issue was not resolved and needed to open a new ticket. I refused to pay, got asked to pay a final bill, which match the agreed price which I paid. To my surprise, I found 6 months later that my credit report was set with a default payment when I applied for a mortgage and got refused. All in all, I should nit have accepted any renewal if the contract and closed it then.”

“The worst service provider, let me explain. I activated my package on 20th April 2024. On the 25th of April internet went down. I called their technical team, who are not very technical and they told me it’s an activation issue , we will activate it now, even though it was activated on the 20th and I used it from the 22 to the 25th. An hour later the internet came back. On the 26 TH it disappeared and I mean disappeared not slowed down I am talking 0 coverage. I called their “engineers “who told me we must monitor for 24 hrs !!!! I am supposed to sit for a whole day with no wifi while they monitor remotely ( apparently ) When I questioned why do they not send an engineer they said not our policy and their engineer condescendingly told me they have amazing fiber technology and electromagnetic waves that they manage remotely (basically us peasant do to understand), and I will get live UPDATES from this amazing next level technology they run. Zero update,, 0 wifi for 24 hrs , I called again this time the tech engineer said they still do not have the problem, I asked what test they ran, She had no clue!!!! And Moreover they cannot send an engineer till the 29th afternoon. Note I informed them of the issue on the 25th So 5 was no wifi for a package I had for less than a week. They can not even tell me about their super galactic technologies and the tests they ran. Basically, a lot of bogus just like the Virgin Galactic scam they ran and the then company went bust. They use big term to pretend they have amazing technologies and when you question them they can not even tell a simple test they ran !!! Basically, their technology is if there is a problem let the loser customers wait till it comes back hopefully on its own, and if they question our non-responsive handling of the case we will tell them that our technology is based on remote analysis from the Moon. Stay away from these jokers”

“I'm currently facing an issue with Virgin Media. I've been their customer for TV and broadband, but after moving, I found out they don't offer service in my new area. Despite this, they're insisting that I pay for an additional 30 days plus a €300 cancellation fee. I've already requested to terminate my services in writing and am waiting for their email confirmation. The fee is quite steep for me, especially since the lack of service availability isn't due to my choice. Does anyone have advice on how I can handle this or if there are any regulations that might help waive these fees?”

“Terrible. Can't deliver what they offer! Stay well away in my opinion”

“I was promised by sells person that service will deliver before 1st of May 2025 (thats the only reason i signed up with them as I needed urgent connection). She assured me that she put on priority list. After a week I still hear from the Virgin Media team installation is on 1st of May. They can make any false promise to sign up customer. They changed 3 times outside of house activity work without any valid reason. Whenever I call them, they say it's been rescheduled!! Also the customer service team doesn't know what they doing! Worst experience already with them before even using the broadband.”

“They are massively over priced, almost 50% compared to city fibre deals. And when I cancelled they told me I had to give 30 days notice I did, and paid for it, then asked if I could cancel dd they told me yes as I didn't ow any money and that i was up to date! then put a late payment on my credit file as they tried to take more money 🤔 . I think that because they had no competition for years, on Internet speeds they treat there customers terrible and got away with horrendous prices. Very poor service.”

“Even after cancelling their terrible service, having given them sufficient notice and waited for my contract to expire to avoid their fees, they still chase you for money, drop calls when you phone to complain and threaten you with bailiffs for non-payment. The worst sort of company, avoid at all costs!”

“Constant service cuts of over 24 hours with no previous warning. Completely unreliable, had to pay for a second Internet connection as it was not possible to use this one. Avoid at all costs.”

“Virgin app is useless, telephone is useless, unable to get through, reply or answer, stay away and go SKY is my opinion.”

“I gave this a one star as I can not do a 0 start. Virgin Media does not deserve 1 start! The Customer Service at virgin is absolutely horrendous! They can not communicate clearly!!! I have booked a simple installation for 2 extra boxes, paid for the installation and $ times the Technician has been sent to the job and they have booked the wrong job to be done! I spoken to them on the 1st of April and this is still outstanding, after sending 4 so called Technicans. If you can avoid going with virgin please do so! It is not worth the headache and hassle. In this day and age! Such horrendous Customer service from such a big company is unacceptable!!! Absolutely disgusted with Virgin Media Service!! But yet if you pay your bil 1 day late they want to cut off your services. Absolut JOKE OF a COMPANY!!!!!”

“Business model designed to misinform and deceive people. At end of contract they call you with an astronomical price increase and then tell you they are doing you a massive favour by applying a discount to that price. Inevitably this price is more than you were paying but sold as a discount. New customer price was half that of this "discount" but I was told having been with them for 13 years they could not help. This happened last time we renewed and we then received a call back 3 days later having sorted out a new service saying they were going to give us the deal as we were such loyal customers hence still being with them. I queried this practice this timearound and asked if we could skip the charade and just go straight to the best price. I was told this is another team and the two teams are unaware of what each other do so she could not say what the price may be if this call comes. The poor lady sounded flumuxed as if it was the first time a customer had pointed out the sneakiness of the system. We are paying £39 for TV and broadband currently and they genuinely told me the new price was £100 but because I'm so great they were going to do me the amazing deal of £60. I asked to remove the TV part and the price went up instead of down. The staff speak of "this is just how it works" as if there are not people at virgin designing how it works. I wish this was surprising but it seems common practice now that loyalty to a service makes you vulnerable to financial abuse. They just hope you are so busy and stressed that you don't have time to look for a better deal rather than genuinely trying to help you stay afloat in these difficult times.”

“The worst company I’ve ever had to deal with. Not getting signal in some parts of the house and after 3 attempts to order pods which they claimed they’ve sent out but had not, I’ve given up and cancelled my contract with them. No organisation within this company. They have lost a customer and I will recommend everyone to avoid Virgin Media!”

“Would rate minus if I could. Over 15 years of loyalty to this company for them to put our bill up to £85.51! We only want broadband. No TV or phone. 3 hours of being sent round the houses trying to cancel the service. Being cut of several times having to call back . Not listened too ground hog day time n time again. Avoiding putting us through to cancel by over talking offering different prices from £60.00 - £42.00 but offer new customers deals for under £30.00. Disgusting the way we've been treated. AVOID AVOID. Go to a company that treat you as valued customer.”

“Virgin media is absolutley appalling at sorting any issues with your broadband, and believe me the more people you talk to they certainly have plenty of issues. I have a package that guarantees a minimum download speed which i only achieve around 20 percent of the time, there is a penalty system in place if they fail to get the system back up and running in a certain time and some how miraculously they also manage to sort it just in time!!! Well ive now been intermitantly getting 0.6 download speed for days its an absolute joke, the T.V stutters and the P.C is nion non existent, not good as I run my own buisness and need the internet for my invoices and emails, lets just hope fibre comes along with another company soon in my area (wiltshire) and I will be gone like a shot! Shame on you virgin!!!!!!”

“I am with Virgin media for years. My account was getting to expensive. I phoned and I was told that the cheapest bundle they could give me was £59 pound. That was only a reduction of £20. I phoned today to cancel my package and it took 3 phone calls before I got to cancel it. I am going to talk talk which is £28 a month. The last offer I got from virgin was £37 pounds but that was after I phoned to cancel.”

“AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! We only contacted them to get a better price, but they insisted on sending out new boxes. They deactivated our existing ones. The new ones won't work because our router is too old. No TV available 4th April. No engineer available until 27th April. Promised a call back from a supervisor, but still waiting 😡 😡 😡”
