    We’re currently on round 2 of no broadband in a week, we had a couple of days with no internet last week and apparently this time Virgin are aiming to get it back on by 4pm Friday. I work from home, for myself, and can’t do my work without internet access. Virgin are constantly raising their prices for Broadband - which has been fast internet when it’s working - but with the huge amounts we have to pay every month, you’d expect them to keep it running. Two blackouts in a week seems a bit excessive!

    By far the worst customer experience offered by any company on this planet, you spend literally days worth of hours on the phone to them or trying to proceed past pointless bot messages. Its incredibly hard to cancel and typically involves 4-5 hours worth of calls to do so. AVOID

    This is review for the Technician who came out and fixed my broadband.
    Thankyou Colin56690
    He was friendly, knowledgeable, and went the extra mile at the end of a long shift to fix all the problems.
    Virgin Media should follow his example.

    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!!

    Constant outages with no help. Automated responses, blatant lies from their customer service team mentioning there's an engineer on site looking at the issues. Postponing fixes of outages constantly. Terrible service, terrible company.

    Absolutely dire service. Broadband might boast being fast, but it's so unreliable constantly drops out. Only get my Internet speed when it suits them.

    Has for the customer service its just the normal overseas call centre that make all the right noises but never delivery. Rang 4 times for the same fault still no resolution. 40 mins a time on the phone to someone who's clearly not that interested in resolving customers problems.

    Sooner my contracts over the better. Least my non fibre broadband was reliable

    For installation, they give a 5 hour window for their technicians to come round that you can't specify a more specific time within. If you, like me, do things with your day, you might be busy at some points during a working (!) day. I was out on a business call and didn't pick up the technicians call & I live alone. They've charged me £25 for this and now I'm wasting my time with automated phone mazes. Their automated phones say "all information is online" and link you to unhelpful websites before hanging up on you. When you do finally get through to customer service, they give misinformation and are completely ineffective, too, sending you from one impotent "helper" to another. Wasted about 2 hours so far with a new installation date 8 days into the future, when I needed it today. Overall just hope you never need to contact anyone if you have something go wrong with your broadband.

    Shocking customer service. The worst I've ever encountered by any company. Called to cancel was offered cheaper package but then was billed double for months and it was denied I was offered the cheaper package. Complaints totally ignored. Extremely frustrating.

    Absolutely awful.
    My step mother has lost the phone number she has had since 1969. She's 90 years old. She was given a replacement number. I have had three lengthy telephone conversations with Virgin Media over the last two months, each promising to rectify the problem in ten to fourteen days. Still no solution and the replacement phone number she was given was also disconnected after that first phone call. Two months without being contactable for a 90 year old woman is incredibly difficult for her and quite disgusting. Shame on you Virgin Media.
