Virgin Media
Verdict. “Amazing what a name change can bring. NTL changing to become Virgin media has created one of the fastest growing and biggest broadband companies in the UK. Virgin Media is going from strength to strength and will soon be offering broadband speeds of up to 50mb.”
Pro. “Cheap broadband when bundled with Virgin Media’s cable TV and telephone services.”
Con. “You need to live in a cable area – basically in a town.”

Terrible customer service. Great when it works but it seems to break down a lot (Broadband and TV).
Been with them 2 years and about to leave. Terrible customer service, patchy speed (broadband phoneline), and capping policy which automatically degrades to dialup speed if you inadvertently exceed their weekly cap (small print!), despite alledged unlimited download. Definitely not recommended.
ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE GOING DOWN , ESP AT WEEKENDS. I AM CHANGING TO ANOTHER. ALSO TERRIBLE SUPPORT.
I have just heard that Virgin Broadband has withdrawn its support for macs.
They have the worse customer service ever!!!
I change computer and was having problems connecting the new machine.
Phone virgin to way a appaling 25 min on the line until some one help me. I God, I wished she hadnt answer the phone. I belive my mum know how to trouble shoot better than that lady.
I patienly follow her instruction, untill the point where we got stuck. She 1st asked me to delete all my net works under my internet setting option, them she wanted me ti untick a box about dial up.
I said to her: my dear, you asked be to delete my net works which i did so automatic this option you want is disable. – She didnt get my ponit. and after a 30 min on the phone she gave up and said my i explorer was broken and i need to re installed it.
What a non sense!
I hang up, restart from scrach, and here I’m connected….
I wishe I’d never called them.
What a waste of time, money and patience!!!
After that i will look for another provider
