Have Virgin cancelled my services?
 

Sorry if this is not in the right section of the forum.

2 days ago I called Virgin and cancelled all my services due to the recent price increase. I'm not sitting out my 30 notice period.

How do I know if Virgin have actually processed my request? Do they send a letter? I've not received an e-mail and My Virgin Media doesn't make any suggestion I've cancelled my services either.

Any information would be great.

All I can tell you is when I rang following my increase letter, and agreed to stay at a reduced rate, the reduction was shown on the my bills section of the site almost immediately. So if I were you I'd ring back for piece of mind.

Oh dear. I'll give them a call.

It's all good. Services end on the 10th January.

Sky have only just increased their prices by the way Chad, and they're going up again in Feb and April by £2 each time. It might not actually be cheaper in the long run.

Re: Have Virgin cancelled my services?
 

Sky increased their prices in September for all customers and the line rental increased from this month so I'm not sure where your getting your info from , care to provide us a link to clarify.

My wifes cousin works for SKY and set us up on a friends and family deal. I've got TV, broadband and HD for half price for 12 months. Even if prices do go up by around £4.00, I'm still going to be saving around £40.00 per month.

Re: Have Virgin cancelled my services?
 

In that case, your signature is completely infactual and misleading. The fact that you're saving money with Sky is down to that discount, not to do with Virgin's price increase or anything as such.

:confused:


"I turned down the Virgin price increase, and joined SKY instead, as I believe in better!"

What is misleading and unfactual about that? It's what happened. Plus I've used SKY's advertising slogan as a little tongue-in-cheek twist at the end. There is nothing in my signature where I state SKY are giving me a cheaper deal. I would agree with you if my signature stated:

"I turned down the Virgin price increase, and joined SKY instead, as they are much cheaper than Virgin."

Re: Have Virgin cancelled my services?
 

The implied meaning comes over as I'd described, regardless of the technical meaning you're trying to explain. Especially considering you're on a primarly-Virgin Media orientated forum.

Re: Have Virgin cancelled my services?
 

Thanks for breaking down your interpretation of my signature. If that's how you read and interpret it then who am I to argue?

Re: Have Virgin cancelled my services?
 

Nothing wrong with that signature, even if you think it does imply he believes in a better price.

The better price offering of a 50% discount (if that's your contention) is also available via other websites and offer codes from third-parties as well.

Remember after 12 months you have pay for the repairs so how much better.:D

Re: Have Virgin cancelled my services?
 

my cousin as been with sky over 8 years and as never had to pay for repairs yet,If a fault occurs with is box he calls them to cancel and rather than lose the customer they have come out and repaired/replaced free of charge and i know plenty of other people who have done the same;)

Re: Have Virgin cancelled my services?
 

Spot on.

Sky GIVE new customers a FREE box, if your box failed and Sky said you needed to pay for a repair or a new box, and you were DAFT enough to pay for it, well what can I say :D Lets get real, I am sure if they are giving all their NEW customers a FREE box, they could find one for you BEFORE you left :D

Re: Have Virgin cancelled my services?
 

That worked for me 3 times. On the 4th I was told the computer wouldn't let me have it again, so, since I'd threatened to leave I had to follow through, and there was no effort to keep me.

Re: Have Virgin cancelled my services?
 

The savings made by Switching to sky would probably pay for repairs 10x over, and that is if anything does go wrong ;)

Re: Have Virgin cancelled my services?
 

Many customers pay for the insurance which is laughable, and to even have to say well if no free repair I will leave is a joke at least with Virgin Media all repairs are free for life simply because unlike SKY you do not buy the equipment.

A certain poster gave me some nice green saying I was a hypocrite simply because I posted a simple little little known fact about SKY sows how little he knows, maybe he should have looked before clicking.http://www.addemoticons.com/emoticon...icons04263.gif

I would not save anything and I would lose a fantastically cheap and reliable service plus I never want to install a BT telephone line as it would be an eyesore.
