Virgin Media Cancellation deals

we did the same, got shot of virgin. the arrogance around no initial offers until it came t the last minute, i posted about it a few months ago here. went to sky. but that will be only until they dont play ball at renewal.

we cant fault sky, tv is ok, stream box works fine, ntflx apps is good, 500mb bb is solid. we subscribe to a few things so dont watch anything mainstream as such pretty much on demand, the ch4 player is good thats inbuilt and they allow irish viewers to watch. The virgin broadband and tv were fine service wise but i just felt being ripped off when i heard deals some ppl were getting. and the fact they made me feel like i had to beg to be a customer , they can and did fcuk right off. if they were the only supplier of tv and bb, id do without. and that utter thrash station of the same name, thats what you're paying for.

our neighbours have eir, you'll see the van out to them now and again, they do have problems now and again so worth considering.

Rang them earlier to see what I could get as my contract had gone up to €80PM after having the half price offer for 9 months.

The most they offered was 6 months at €40 and then 6 months at €80 on a 12 month contract for BB only.

I turned it down and there wasn't a further offer forthcoming so I've cancelled.

The service is due to finish on December 25th so here's hoping they call back with an improved offer.

The service is in my name only so i think i can get the new customer offer by signing up in my wife's name?

Yeah that's what I normally do cancel one and have the new one under my wife's name or mine overlapping by a week to make sure no loss of service. I signed up for 2 years this time to stop the change again in a year.

Went to do the same today, was told that because my account will run till the 27th of December, any new account at the same address won't be activated until after this date.

Anyone know how true that is or is it just a scare tactic?

Hi all,

I ended up with one day between my wifes old contract running out and the new one starting but I think that was I just didnt sign up early enough as the installation took a week to book in. I expected they would have sent it in the post and I just set it all up.

Anyway I got the €67 a month TV broadband for two years with the free TV. My wifes contract had jumped to €114 a month for the same package.

Did you need an engineers visit?

I got the half price for 12 months offer as well, would have worked out at 59 for 500mb and TV, instead locked into 2 years at 67 with 1gig.

So I’ve cancelled my 1GB BB only plan and it’s due to run out on 25/12.
I plan on signing up in the wife’s name but I see the cheapest they offer is €45 a month for 12 months.
Is that the best anyone has got out of them?

We got onto Virgin yesterday and were able to get 40e for 1gb for 12 months as an offer.

Do you have an option of Siro at your property?

I dont so im wondering is that why they arent giving me an offer.

Contract expired recently, was 52.99 for 500mb and tv. Got a deal for 12mths for 58.50 on phone, 1gb and TV. Not too bad so just went with it.

wow ya gotta hand it to them no sooner did @AndrewJRenko say I’m due a call soon they rang!
Settled for half price 1GB BB for €40 for 12 months and no price increase.
Im happy with that considering I have no access to Siro in south Dublin area and any other suppliers are going off an eircom/eir/telecom eirann copper line, which I no longer have a socket in the house for.
