Virgin Media Cancellation deals

Is Gomo Broadband wireless only? What is the modem like?

I wouldn't take the 9 months anymore. They cave and give you 12 if you just ride it out.

Everyone else is 30-40 max for a year new customer. They either want the business or not.

Installations from other places are quick and simple these days.

It's worth the drill hole to get another point in so you can change every year going forward.

The sooner Eir finish their rollout and we get past this crap the better.

Sky is now showing up on my eircode for ftth. Up to 5gb after well over a year since the new virgin fibre cables were installed. Vodafone also has 2gb max available so i assume it's active as they were only offering 1gb last month.

Virgin still showing 500mb and 1gb, you'd think they'd be first to advertise the faster speeds after sending me a letter a year ago saying i can get 1 , 2 and 5gb and being their infrastructure 🤷

With all of the access providers (open eir, NBI, SIRO, Virgin FTTP etc.) you are handed over to the retail provider's core network at a certain point, so it's not just full reselling. You would be connected to Sky's core network.

It wouldn't make much sense in my opinion for Virgin to pull out of public facing products as they have their own extensive core network.

I cancelled via email on Saturday and got the call today and was offered 500mb and basic tv for half price for 9 months. I said I would only accept 12 months half price and they offered 1gb and basic tv for 57 euro per month for 12 months. When they call be sure to push them for the 12 months half price.

Easiest year ever to get a deal. Virgin Fiber was fitted a few months back and Sky are now offering broadband on it.

1 phone call to Virgin and i got the new customer offers of half price for 12 months once i referenced Sky pricing. I was willing to leave as there is now proper competition in my area which wasn't there before

Probably a stupid question but I have no phone line in my house so have been with Virgin for years as that's the only service available in my area. I have just put my eircode into Sky website and it says that Full fibre is available in my area, does that mean I don't need a landline? Thanks in advance!

Thanks a million for this, delighted to be able to finally move to a different supplier rather than the dreaded phone call to Virgin retention dept every year. I'm currently paying €68.50 for just broadband where as Sky are offering new customers 12 months for €27.99. I have cancelled with Virgin today, sorry to bother you again but if I need the fibre cable and ONT installed, any of when I should sign up with Sky please? I obviously would prefer as least down time as possible. Thanks for your help so far.

Thank you again. Can i just order Sky today then and get things rolling or do I have to wait as I have sent the cancellation email? Last question, i promise!

Just an update.Gave my 30 days notice.Got an email offering 9 months half price 3 months full.Did not accept it.Two weeks later got offered 12 months half price :)

Made the call today only 9 months offered even though I said sky would save me 120 euro - no go so I cancelled and my wife signed up…and don't get me started on their new phone AI assistant Cara!

If Virgin FTTP is available to you, yes you can switch between Virgin, Vodafone, Sky and Digiweb.

Their FTTP rollout is still ongoing so some people would still only have their coax available to them.

ftth should be installed with the new contract. Just had it installed here even though I stay with vm.
