Virgin Media Cancellation deals

Patience......they will call. I got three calls.

What number do they call from so I can ignore it.

Just got off the phone there. I had been paying 46 for 9 month and then 92 for the last 3. Told them i wanted to cancel. They offered 77 for 6 months and then 92 for the other 6. THey said they couldnt do anything more as I'd just come off the 50% a few months ago.

Told them no deal. THey dropped to 46 x 6 and 92 x 6. Told them the 92 for six was a killer as Eir was was 50 a month. They read me my notice info and sent me on my way. Will be moving to Eir.

Cancellation gone in and I'll be following through this time.

Even if they were to give the 9 months half price would average out at €43pm for the year compared to €35pm with Vodafone, guts of €100. Was told they don't do call backs anymore but presume just part of the spiel. If they send a text won't bother calling them back either to ask again for the 9 months.

It's really countdown to when they will be forced to reduce prices to fight competition from Eir's urban rollout. Can't be more than a couple of years away.

was just on to Virgin there

offered me

€89 for 9 months

€104 for 3

Sky sports €20 on a 30 day rolling contract

I was just on the virgin website planning on signing up in my wife's name. They're offering a 75 one4all but also charging an activation fee of 30 which wasn't there before the one4all offer. Typical virgin bullshit.

In the end I've now signed up for three 5g broadband. Hopefully I don't regret it. I know a couple using it & they're happy with it so fingers crossed. It's a 2yr contract so if I'm not happy I'm screwed.

I cancelled Virgin near the end of last year, as we had to move out while getting some work done.

Can sign up again as a new customer using my wife's details. But we can also get Eir/Vodafone/Sky etc. now up to 2BG (on Vodafone).

Any recommendations on deals or who has a better service? Will be getting Broadband only.

VF 500mb for €35. Has been fine for me for 12 months now. Sky have broadband and sky q for €38 too which I'd have gone for if VF hadn't played ball.

I paid it last year as well. Think I got a €50 card then. I'd looked up the plans a few weeks ago & the deal was 44/month with no activation fee.

I backtracked with the 5g broadband & signed up with virgin again.

I never received any confirmation from 3 about my order placed at 11am yesterday. Did a chat there to ask when it would be ready to use but they couldn't say. Asked me to wait 24-48 hours for them to review it & see what they say in the confirmation mail when they send it.

We work from home so have to have broadband sorted by mid next week.

Rang the 1890... number there

Woman told me they could only offer me 6 months half price. Told her I know for a fact that people are being offered 9 months half price, got put on hold while she spoke to a supervisor 🙄, came back 2 minutes later and offered me the 9 months.

Job done in 7 or 8 minutes 👍️

As expected, they texted today (Wednesday) after cancellation last Friday. So I rang the number, asked for 9mo half-price, was put on hold for 5 mins and then got the OK. So, the battle is done until next year!

What’s the craic with the Vodaphone setup?

What hardware do you get?

I’ve had virgin media since it was cable link and haven’t changed but have always rang looking for a discount.

I don’t want to bother with that this year so I’m looking at alternatives.

I don’t have an eir line into the house and I presume vodaphone comes in via 5g or whatever?

We’ve two working from home and on top of that two kids with iPads so I wonder would the vodaphone setup be as reliable as virgin?

Same, best offer 45 for 9 months reverted to 60. So cancelled. Within 5 days got the text, simple call, they suggested 30 for 9 months. Bobs your uncle
