Virgin Media Cancellation deals

Does it matter if there's a bit of over lap between old customer's 30 day cancellation period and new customers sign up date? With how my family is arranging it they'll be about 2 weeks where 2 plans will be active at the same time, I suppose we could just say we're new tenants?

Went through the whole phone call rigmarole to no avail and cancelled. If I do the reorder under the wife's name do I need to wait the 30 days or how does it work? Want to avail of the back Friday deals.

Currently paying €96 per month for 250Mb BB/TV/Phone.

Called VM. Initially offered €15 off for 12 months which I rejected. Then VM supposedly checked another system which offered me a loyalty offer of half price for 6 months. Told VM it wasn't enough so proceeded to cancel.

Four days later I received a text message. "At VM we are sad to see you are leaving and we do not want you to go. Would a half price offer make you stay? If so, give us a call on 1800-940199." Happy days I thought! I called and was offered six months half price again. No room for improvement so I said good bye for a second time.

Four days later (on a Saturday morning!) I received a call from a nice lady who was authorised to make me an improved offer of €49 per month for 12 months with an upgrade to 500Mb BB. Decided to take it, but I really am fed up with this annual runaround.

Tip: Check your VM profile to ensure your marketing preferences (SMS/Email/Phone/Post) are all set to "On" so VM can contact you after you cancel.

Just has eir 500mb on new fibre lines installed - im within my 14 day cooling off currently. speeds good so far. 24 month contract for 40 quid broadband only.

have phoned VM to cancel (73 pm for 370mb) -offered 55 pm 12 month contract for 500mb. She also said that the annual increase on eir can be up to 11% of undiscounted rate (CPI + 3%)(looked at their website was 8% in 2023).

VM have CPI + 3.9% so is this not amounting to something similar?

Are Eir new fibre speeds likely to get worse? congestion etc?

she also said Eirs T&Cs agree to automatic price increases if co wants to - not so with VM apparently.

Anyway in 2 minds now - any advice?

I have a 360 box and a sky sports package all of which have gone completely off the rails in cost. My 12m contract is up ( contract summary date 13th September) . I will try to negotiate a reasonable deal first but if I have to move all to the other half's name ( I know we might lose landline ) I will.

Are they still entitled to 30 days notice on an expired contract?

Am I naive in thinking it's in their interest to leave the same box here and simply switch name on account or do I not let on its the same house and do a "Lanigans ball " on it - letting her step in when I step out? Presumably I would have to send box back while they send out a new one?

Been paying over 100 pm for a long time with VM. Called today and was offered 49.50 pm for 9 months which I rejected and asked for 12 months, but no budge on that.

Was told now that the cancellation is in process, I won't be able to get that offer again.

Hoping that whatever internal process they follow up with happens now before the cancellation date next month (have turned on all the marketing preferences), although might be better to go for one of the seasonal deals they have, and just use a new name. Has anyone gone through that and confirm there's no issues?

Cheers. Can't seem to sign up online at the address and says to give them a call - will try later.

Hey, cancelled 24 days ago and haven't heard anything back from VM since. My wife and I have been switching annually.

We don't really want an XBOX S (black Friday VM deal), we just want to pay as less as possible.

We are cautious about moving to Sky as we are renting. Would they need to drill holes in the house to install or is that all gone these days? There is an old phone line. Any thoughts would be great

Is there an email address to return old equipment?
