Virgin Media Cancellation deals

Life's too short for 5 meg "broadband" believe me you won't be long getting sick of it.

Anyone get a voucher for installation recently? Filled the online registration and waited to hit the place order button as someone suggested. Got an email with contract outline but no offer of o4a voucher. 50 quid not too bad when you add it to the 59 over 12 months but still seems steep for them just sending out the new boxes.

Good idea if it works out, I can't see Vodafone being nice about it though. When does the cooling off period start?

14 days to cancel without penalty.Vodafone may not be too friendly next year but providing they leave the cable connected to the Siro network theres always Sky or Digiweb aswell.

From connection date.

All their competitors are nearly half the price,they have to be loosing customers.Just have all your price comparisons to hand.Vodafone dropped price to €30pm when I called them and included 3 add-ons aswell!

Don't bother with the hassle, just cancel & sign up in your partners name.

1GB is 80/month so your deal is going to cost you €720. If you signed up as a new customer it would be 54/month plus €30 connection fee & you get a €100 gift card (atm anyway). That would cost you €578 for the year saving you €142 compared to the "deal" they gave you.

QUITE IMPORTANT - the cancellation email (cancel@virgin.ie) method of giving 30 days notice no longer is in use. As I found out to my cost. It was worked perfectly for the last few year, and was a hassle free way of cancellation. They stopped using this system sometime in February this year. I sent off my cancellation email as per in March giving 30 days notice and got a bill today. I got it sorted but a bit of a PITA. Now the only way to cancel is to ring customer service. They cannot do it over chat either apparently. Just a heads up for the frequent flyers on here like myself that avail themselves of the 5e/month offers as and when they offer them.

Thanks for that very valuable info.

Zero chance that I will return now.

They told me both on chat, and on the phone that this had changed recently, may have been March not Feb - be interested to hear if anyone has done this recently and got it cancelled. I emailed them on 18th March to cancel.

Couple of weeks with Vodafone now and no real difference. New line to the house, 30 minute install, won't be back to VM unless they go cheaper than the €35pm

I got the text to call them after I cancelled. It goes off on May 5th. They said the half price offer is gone as I had it before so offering me 10 quid off 120. Crazy stuff. I can sign up new contract under my adult daughter for 60 odd quid, or EIR (hate them) is 55 euro a month for 2 years no increases, or maybe look to VF or SKY.

I hate this hassle.

Are those 2 year deals fixed for the 2 years or are they subject to yearly price increases? It isn't easy to see on the site. It certainly would be the deal to go for. VM really need to up their game with the increased availability of ftth.

Maybe the 12 month contract would be better only getting the increase once and then changing provider.

I've signed up to Eir ftth, install due on the 17th. I'll give my notice to VM on the 6th giving me some overlap in case the ftth turns out to be unreliable. The cooling off period with Eir starts on the day it goes live. 500 for 35euro 12 month contract.
