Virgin Media Cancellation deals

Rang them today. First time in 2 years j haggled. Got half price for 6 months and €60 for 6. Was getting it for €67 a month.

Went with it as couldn't be bothered switching and WFH has gone well with their BB.

I cancelled a while ago and signed up again myself no issue. I have two phone numbers and email addresses and jump between them every year. I've never had an issue. If you input your phone number on the site when resigning, it will kick you out saying you are already a customer. I just use a Tesco sim.

Yeah, I gave 30 days notice. Signed up for a new plan a few days before the old one ended. I had two services for 2-3 days.

You are a new customer so you get a brand new set of equipment you have to "install" and you lose all your recording etc. on the Virgin box as you have a different one. None of that bothers me.

They'll ring back and offer you 12 months half price. Say you're moving to Eir.

On a separate note, got offered this with a new TV box (that looks like a black version of the white modem). I used to love tuning into the radio stations on the Horizon box, but can't seem to find radio stations on this new box. Someone please tell me there's a way to get these running on this!?

Rang up to cancel, told them I couldn't afford it. 'no problem I understand' and straight to cancellation, not even an offer of any sort. Will be signing up under the missus in a month's time

Hope not :o

New box has not arrived yet , so going to try refuse delivery. But postman has a habit of leaving in random places or with neighbors (which is normally great)

I think the save procedure is when they a do Mrs Doyle on it, ah shur you'll stay if we give you some discount, gowan gowan gowan....

'save procedure'

Maybe the initial refusal, then the later phone call to 'save' you.

Is it possible to cancel without giving the 30 days notice, if you're out of the 1 year contract, please?

I sent the email last Monday to cancel my broadband as it was too expensive. I got a phone call on Friday looking to see could anything be done and what was the reason for leaving. I started off saying too save us both time I didn't want to do the dance of back and forth and I wanted to cancel.

I was offered 6 months half price and 6 months full, I was on 250mb, I said no I can get better and cheaper with Siro or I can sign up on 500mb with Virgin on a new account under my wife's name.

Then offered 9 month half price and 3 months full, I still said no cancel, finally offered 12 months half price and moved from 250mb to 500mb including home phone, so €38 per month for a 12 month contract. I accepted this.

Yeah all on the one call that lasted about 10 minutes or so.

Does it matter if you use the same bank account for the direct debit as the Mrs and I have a joint account
