I bought 50 megabit broadband. Actual speed is around 3 megabit during evenings. Virgin media acknoledges problems, regularly promises to fix them, but does nothing for at least 6 months already.

Hopeless- I am speaking to the agent from 830 am till 1230 just to paint a picture no exaggeration.
I am new customer who has not even got the services yet,
I have been transferred 4 times as they have not got the order correct or delivered and the cost
the speed also is not guaranteed also they have NO CUSTOMER EMAIL ADDRESS FOR EMAILS so be warned
take my advise pay a bit more and go elsewhere

BB line speed / WAN connection is very good but that doesn't mean so much when the wifi signal is so poor in adjacent rooms. Worst of all when they have an outage it takes days usually 2 or 3 , to fix. We have 2 or 3 long area outages per yr and in all cases it has taken 24 hours before they even send anyone out to look.

###Avoid at all costs###
This company is robbing people after changing my location they automatically decided to extend my contract and change my package without my acknowledgement before moving house I gave them three locations and they do they told me we cannot provide fibre broadband so can I end my contract now you still have to pay for your contract I finally found a property which I can provide fibre broadband and I’ve changed my contract without my acknowledgement from £28 to £52 Who pays that amount for broadband nowadays fck joke.
I cannot believe this is how virgin media does business i’ve been arguing for the past of one of years to resolve this they keep telling me yes we have Applied the discount back to account every month I’m just getting the same amount of built over and over again

The most horrible network provider, I am paying 33 a month for the Internet which is down every day. I call at least three time a week and not only they are rude, but not willing to help or explain why the thing is not working. Last month it didn't work for 4 days in a row, I was meant to get a refund of 3 pounds and instead was charged three pounds more than usual. Waste of time, money and nerves. Never again!

I've managed to plan to install Virgin 2 weeks before I moved in.
Technician came in and installed internet in 30 min on the date I wanted. There was an issue with telephone, well still is but I don't use it much so I don't bother. Internet works like a charm, 54mbs/3mbps/8ping. Never had any problem with it. Router is really good, when I had others from other companies I had to reboot them all the time, this one works since 3 months with really good speed and doesn't need any rebooting, maybe they reboot them at night? Never noticed that but I am very happy with customer service, and offer I got and I can recommend this internet to anyone.

I have been with VM for 6 years but the last year has been an absolute ordeal and I just cannot say how much I would recommend you stay away. Not only has our bill ramped up drastically (+£15/month), but our network has also been cutting off on a weekly, if not daily, basis. We have sometimes been cut off for entire days, without notice or indication of when it will be looked into. We both work from home and we just can't afford such high unreliability. On top of all of this, customer service, despite being very polite and trying their best, have just been incredibly unhelpful. Every time I have been in touch with VM's customer service, whether to get a better rate (seeing new customers pay half our monthly bill annoyed me slightly) or to actually get an engineer to fix a network issue, they have been very slow and never provided a real solution. Anecdotally, they also effectively blackmailed us into closing a complaint so we could get an engineer appointment, after months of issues and 3 previous engineers visits leading nowhere. Again, nothing to do with the individual employees, they have all been lovely, but VM as a company deprioritise loyal customers and does not care which level of service they actually provide. The company is frankly morally bankrupt. After much consideration, we are switching supplier because even if it is (very slightly) slower and if you don't care about ethics, we just really need more affordable and reliable internet. For all of these reasons, I just wouldn't recommend VM to anyone, really. I just don't see how.

Just the worst... definitely try to find a different broadband before going with virgin media, plusnet is pretty good!
Have to deal with frequent disconnection..
As well as this it is so hard to get through to them and they make it as difficult as possible to cancel... if they transfer you through to a different department often disconnects.. and have to go through the whole process again

After being completely screwed over by BT, it’s nice to have Virgin Media back in our lives. Our activation date for BT was over a week after signing up. Then there were “issues” and they delayed it by another two weeks! Called Virgin and they sussed us a router and got us fibre broadband in TWO DAYS. Currently have an avg download speed of 150+ mbps! The only issue we’ve had previously was at our previous property and the WiFi kept going down - turns out too many devices. Upgraded to router and no further issues! We love Virgin Media!

You already cancelled my account and you keep sending me a bill for £278.40 and now handed this over to debt collectors! Its already been cancelled and your colleague phone me apologizing and I have spoken to you 8 times! You promised this won't happen again and now you sent the bill onto the debt collectors!!

The service was okay while I was with them but when I went to cancel they insisted on the full cancellation fee even though I've been with them for 6 years. I thought there would have been some courtesy for a loyal customer, if nothing else just to ensure repeat business. I could have switched when I moved, and I should have done.

Awful. It's the only way to describe Virgin. We were finding our internet speed decreasing. in my room, a mere 20 paces away, I couldn't watch Netflix without it doubling the watch time with buffering. So we called them up. And they quoted 6 months free of up to 200, the next day we get an addition charge on our bill. When we phone to ask about it they claim we are now on 200 Mbps download speed. We were quoted this free! So then we test it, it's made no difference! So I decide to run some tests of my own. 6 feet from our router we aren't even getting 90 Mbps (89.68). So I move to our kitchen a mere 14 feet from the router not even 80 Mbps (78.02). Lastly I try my bedroom. We live in a small 2 bedroom flat. My room is 20 feet from the router. I got 16.86! We told them this. They couldn't give a damn. So we told them we will go else where. They are one of the worst companies I have ever had the displeasure to deal with. They were rude, uncaring, and disorganised. We were being told "we've run this test" then passed on to the next departments, they said they will run the same test. Then said the test hadn't been done yet. We will be shopping around. That's for sure. My biggest piece of advise: look elsewhere, don't waste your hard earned money on a company that won't care when they make a mistake at your despence. Good luck to you.

Mid contract price increase from £27 to £31! 15 % price increase was after 5 months I signed the contract. Very disappointed.
Over charged by £20 - the mistake admitted by the virgin team, still waiting for the refund after few months.

I pay a lot of money every month for the privilege of being mid-sold the package I thought I was buying and faults quickly developing on the Internet , obviously not virgins fault! Only for the customer service to fob you off! Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole once I'm out of the contract!! Thiefs!!!

An extremely damaging company especially when it comes to mis-selling and poor customer service. Today they closed a complaint I opened in January citing because I didn’t get in touch after the first response, they assume I was happy with their resolution.
Only I did get in touch several times by email over the last month directly to the resolution team, I also called several times and was promised several calls back – none of which were returned, and I recorded all my outgoing calls! Finally, I sent a letter to their complaints department in Sunderland, citing my complaint, the original reference number, and copies of all correspondence. Royal Mail obtained a signature but still according to Virgin Media I didn’t get back in touch!
Even yesterday trying once again to resolve this on the phone I spoke to the resolution team who decided to pass me back through to Virgin Mobile an overseas call centre where the staff sound like robots and have absolutely no idea about customer service!
So, thanks Virgin Media and thanks to your outbound retention team based in sunny Birmingham for mis-selling. Please don’t respond asking me to text you, I think I have made adequate attempts to resolve this and you have failed. As for closing my complaint I have escalated it now to CISAS and the Financial Ombudsman, next stop the ICO for the fact your employee stole my bank details from my Virgin Media account and set up a direct debit with my bank for Virgin Mobile, I misuse of my personal data. You are an awful company and as soon as the next price increase occurs I am gone never to return and I’ll be taking at least seven different customers with me, friends and family who are absolutely appalled at how you have handled my complaint.

Husband receives a massive bill because our contract has finished, no notification of that, at all.
Treating existing customers, despicably, we suggest you don’t bother with them. Computers are down we can’t deal with you, from a broadband company

Customer service is poor and does not make it easy to find the answers you need.
The broadband itself is really fast but it is badly held back by the network equipment. The router they provide is slow, short range and unreliable. I switched it to modem mode and used a different router, the WiFi jumped from 10mb/s to 70mb/s.
If you want to get the WiFi you paid for you will need to switch to a third party router.

Judge for Yourself… Full Chat transcripts kept as evidence
I was a VM Customer and joined O2 and was given an upgrade from 500MB to 1GB broadband. I was informed that I needed an upgraded router which was sent out via Yodel. Tracking said out for delivery on Friday. Delivery never attempted, tracking said “Please arrange to collect your parcel from our depot by using the Manage your parcel feature above”. I sat in ALL weekend as Yodel promised each day that it was going to be delivered. Didn’t happen.
Monday 22nd Nov 2021VM Online Chat (took 2hrs) and informed them I was at work. Asked for router to be put to a shop for pickup. Not possible finally got them to cancel first router and send out another for pickup from a shop near my work.
Tuesday 23rd Nov 2021 VM Online Chat (5 hours 11 minutes) contacted again as no sign of old router being cancelled or new one dispatched.
14:20, Nov 22 Alistair : Broadband TV or Phone

Received a final bill with a demand for £240 for termination of my contract early:
Thurs 6th Jan 2021 VM Online Chat (2 hours 15 minutes)
17:07, Jan 6 Meena: Thank you for your patience, I have looked into your account and I see you have cancelled services within the contract period and hence you have been charged early termination fee as per the terms and conditions Alistair.
17:10, Jan 6 You: you ugprded me to 1GIG and sent out a router which was never delivered by yodel. I even requested another router which was refused. So unable to use the service as you didn't supply hardware I spent HOURS and I have proof trying to sort this mess out with you
17:11, Jan 6 You: I couldn't use a service without the hardware so why would I stay with a provider that cannot provide?
17:29, Jan 6 You: here I am again over 90 mins repeating myself and getting nowhere
17:29, Jan 6 Meena: I am sorry to know about the hassle which you have come across Alistair, I feel really bad after going through all these and you have been so patient so far. Dont worry I will see what best can be done for you. But we could have definitely cancelled the order and placed a new one before cancelling Alistair.
17:30, Jan 6 You: but you didn't and as per the transcripts refused to send out another until you got the one that Yodel lost Back
17:31, Jan 6 You: yuou will see that the transcripts over the days contradict themselves
17:44, Jan 6 Meena: Alistair, I understand what you are telling but this is completely the issue with yodel and it was supposed to be dealt by them else we could have cancelled and replaced the order. I have tried my best Alistair, but unfortunately we cannot waive off the charges as you have been able to use the services and itcould have been resolved alternatively. But as you have cancelled it between contract, you was been charged with disconnection fee Alistair.
17:46, Jan 6 You: Did you not read the information i poasted??
17:52, Jan 6 Meena: Okay where you not informed that you will be charged termination fee if you are cancelling the contract Alistair?
18:00, Jan 6 Meena: Alistair, we booked for the second time and you never waited for the delivery to be sent, you immediately put a request for disconnection Alistair. Please understand this charges cannot be removed as itsvalid from our end.
18:03, Jan 6 You: no, i made contact with VM as you had not even bothetred to disptach the second one. Eve though yousaid you had. Enough, I will now seek compensation for the time and stress your company has continued toput me through over these months
I have now raised a complaint through offcom and seeking an apology for time, stress, lies and incompetence and now compensation too.

AVOID AVOID AVOID
Had to take them to CISAS due to their incompetence and appalling customer service, Conclusion from CISAS
a. The company has broken a term of the contract and has failed in its duty of care to the
customer.
b. The reasons given by the customer are sufficient for the company to remove the ETF or
termination fee from his account, provide a written apology and pay compensation of
£75.00.
11. Therefore, my decision is that the company shall remove the ETF, provide a written apology and
pay compensation of £75.00.
If your a customer don't put up with their crap and if your not don't join them!

Virgin repeatedly told me that my internet problems required me to shut down and restart my computer. Broadband running slow and frequently dropping out. We pay for the top speed ! After months of this they admitted that they have to few cables in the area to handle the demand and they refunded me £10 (approx) per month for my trouble. However, I know that they were still selling the service in our area to unsuspecting people. Is that even legal ?

The broadband I actually think is good and reliable in my long experience. But the customer service is so so so abysmal its untrue. You can speak to someone fairly quickly, but they almost certainly can't help you and then you go on hold for the person that can, this takes forever and there is a very good chance you will get cut off! I know, I have been a long term customer and have had so so so many poor poor poor experiences! They just don't care to sort this major issue.

After starting brightly when I first had them, Virgin Media have dropped off a cliff.
They always had appalling customer service, but while the speed was good that was not so much of a problem.
Now the speed is poor, it's hard to contact them and when you do you get a person in a call centre in India who although trying their best has no idea how to help you half the time (apart from stuff like "let's restart the router" - as someone working in technology who has a very good development team in India I know this is nothing to do with the people in India but their training must be terrible.
I have finally pulled the plug after 4 years as they really are appalling now - I get ~10MBps but I'm paying for their XXL which should give me up to 200MBps. That is just a fantasy which they never come close to.
Richard Branson should be ashamed to have his brand name with this load of muppets.

Fed up of on going problems with Virgin Media, keep being told that it runs slow in the evening because of amount of people using it but thats the time I need to use it as my son has skype lessons. the customer service are so rude and most of the time hang up on you and I even tried the main CEO office and even they don't care and hang up on you. Please don't bother going with Virgin Media.

I have been Virgin Media for several years.
Currently they asked me to pay £ 2650 (yes it's twothousandandsixhundred pounds and more) for allow me to have the cable when the road where I leave it's all covered with Virgin Media cable except my building.
It's three years they promised that they will improve the network, it never happened instead the asked me the above mentioned figure.
My neighboor leaves about 1 yard away from me and he has got cable.
Virgin Media customer service and complaint department I believe have changed on the last three years.
Virgin Media said they have change some major admn structure three years ago which might have effected their services.

During this past weekend Virgin broadband was down for 51 hours, it eventually came up for the area this morning at 12.00, it effected several dozen streets, The customer service from India was appalling, will be moving broadband supplier with the next month, I have been with Virgin (NTLWorld) since 1998, but I am not being treated like I was again by the virgin customer contact team who could not be honest with me.

Absolutely appalling service. At first the broadband speed was okay then it started dropping off intermittently everyday! Called customer services on several occasions, they say they running diagnostics, changing channels etc. and still the problem is not resolved. They refused to send out an engineer for wireless connection problems even though numerous attempts to fix over the phone have failed. The final straw came when I told if I want to disconnect the service that was my decision. Surprise, surprise when I call the disconnections team they offer to send an engineer! Apparently, Virgin and other broadband companies do not supply WiFi so if you have a problem you're on your own. Perhaps I should connect all 8 of the gadgets to the box with a cable! Thank you Virgin for taking my money for no service and basically telling me it's my problem if nothing works not yours!
