Virgin Media Cancellation deals

I can't bear this rigmarole ringing up every year.

My current package is at €107.

Broadband 250 Mb

World Talk and Home Phone

Big TV Bundle (Not very big with a load of of channels blanked out like mot of the discoveries etc)

One multiroom

Is anyone else on similar package and what deal did they get or what's it costing?

Am i being ripped off at that price of €107 or is this what we looking at now seeing as they not dishing out discounts so easily.

Changing provider seems like hassle and have same problem next year anyway.

I am thinking of doing away with Virgin and looking into the idea of getting Saorview installed with UK channels and maybe get Vodafone internet in or stay with Virgin Internet.

Any input be appreciated.

Used it recently, had been with Virgin/UPC for years, but their pricing just isn't competitive compared to FTTH. Don't know about an individual service but can confirm it works for cancelling a whole account anyway.

Did you get a call asking you to reconsider?

This year for the first time, I had to go all the way and cancel. But, got what I needed in a callback. They make good money even with the six month discount.

It only becomes difficult if you're bluffing. Which I wasn't.

No, just 6 months. But, I never had the 9 months so they know my sticking point.

Nothing, just a confirmation email.

No joy for me, 6 months half price BB was all that was on offer or €15 off something else, can't remember what exactly.

Might give it a week to see if they come back but will need to get the ball rolling on getting Vodafone set up to overlap with no issues.

I've given my 30 days notice to VM. Will get VF sorted next week, worst case I'll be paying for broadband twice for a month. If VF doesn't work out for whatever reason then I can cancel the cancellation of VM and take their 6 months offer.

You can always call and ask! But yeah honestly cancelling and starting new contract in spouses name is best to do, always get the newest customer deal!

There are enough existing customers that won't question it or move, to make it worthwhile.

My contract was up last week, was paying €60p/m and rolled over onto full price. Called to see if anything could be done on the price, they weren’t budging. Asked to cancel, got put through to cancellations, they offer me €9p/m off the €112 I’m now on. Said no, the person I was dealing with tried to convince me I’d be saving money on this new rate in comparison to another provider. Which I did have to laugh at.

Definitely different this year, as the last few years they’ve come down on the price. I’ll give it a couple of weeks and see do any offers come in. Otherwise time to move provider for me I think.

Got one at Christmas, but only after cancelling.

Just 250 broadband and 6 months at 30, 6 at 60.
