Virgin Media Cancellation deals

As Sierra says above.

I took advantage of the 50% link last year, so now that's coming to an end rang them looking for a deal.

Best on initial offer was 50% off for 6 months, then full price for 6.

When I pushed to cancel, and as myself and the agent bonded over a mutual love for gerbils (yes it was a random conversation), he raised it to 50% off for 9 months, full price for 3; but he advised me to ring after that 1st full payment as by them we'd be eligible for a new contract and new deal.

So ring, look for Agent Z - codeword is Gerbils

On the 9 month half price deal via link. Used to do the wife swap to get the full 12 but since they scrapped the 360 box afraid of losing the ability to record properly on all channels and losing all the content already saved. Looks like will be a struggle to get a decent deal when it comes time to renew again. What's people's experience with the streaming box compared to the hard drive boxes?

Contract ends in a month, can I just sign up in wife's name for the half price broadband, 35€ a month, what way does it work , if my contract ends for example on the 10th October,do I start the new one on the 11th, Want to keep the landline too, who looks after the 2 uan numbers?

yes

I have had to sign up with my wife's name as got no decent deals last time and was getting €100 one4all as a new customer.I made sure that the accounts overlapped by a week so I wasn't without Internet/tv.

The only hassle is setting up new equipment they send you but worked out cheaper.

Pain in the ass do if the just rewarded loyalty people wouldn't have to bother with doing that.

12 month half price worked last year. Unfortunately, not this year.

Hi, I want to sign up for virgin (new customer), how do you avail of the 100e one for all voucher?

Cheers

The links above seem to be for october. I just used the previous links and added 0925 at the end and that was dead, so i tried 1025 and they show up. Maybe they might come active next week.

Was offered the 50% off deal last year. My current contract is up in a few weeks and best they are offering is 9 months half price and 3 months full price for 1 gig part fibre. I was talking to sky in the meantime and they are offering the new customer offer of €35 per month for 1 gig full fibre, so it’s a no brainier for me to switch to sky for 12 months.

Can you get Sky now on Virgins Fiber line connection?

If it's live i believe you can get virgin , sky, and vodafone on the ftth lines I think. If you log onto virgin, bang in your eircode and all you see is 500mb and 1GB options then no. If they are offering the 2GB + then yes.

Cheers , prefer to have the one for all or if they ever run the free TV offer again, it would be better for me 😁

sorry for late reply, im not sure, but its the latest cable they have to use for installs.

I got that too a couple of months back, but didn't subsequently receive the confirmation - make sure you do. I still hoped it worked, but then noticed I was charged full price on the next couple of bills. I recently emailed the "cancel@" address to cancel - no response. Eventually emailed customer service, stating (the truth) that I was going to go to Sky as they had a half price 12 month offer. They initiated the cancellation for 30 days' time. Got an email a week later offering 9 months 50% - I didn't respond. Got a phone call a week later trying to persuade me to stay and upgrade to 1Gb fibre (from 500mb non-fibre). I said I'd stay if they gave me the new customer deal, 50% off/12 months and they accepted so that's good. It needs an engineer visit to install

Have to stay, part of my reservation about moving is nervousness about how a new provider can physically connect the house. Current connection is obviously via CableLink/VirginMedia coax, and we've since had an extension built where the cable point inside the house is in a different place so I'm not sure how they would connect. Similarly for the Virgin Media fibre connection but at least they're the current provider.
So can anyone tell me: how does the fibre connection work? Is it just fibre to the local connection box in the ground, and then coax from there so no physical cable change required? Why is the engineer needed when previously they've just delivered the new router?
