The UK telecoms watchdog has discovered that Virgin Media “likely mishandled” millions of phone calls between the start of 2022 and autumn 2024, which prevented broadband, landline and pay TV customers from cancelling their contracts.

The company has been fined £28m by Ofcom after it discovered evidence of call-dropping tactics, unnecessary call transfers and putting customers on hold for “no reason”.

We would like to hear from people who have struggled to cancel their contracts or subscriptions with Virgin Media – or any other company.
