Switch and Maestro are indeed one and the same ... however all that means is, Virgin don't take Switch either. They will only accept card payments with Visa, Visa Delta, or Mastercard. So you can only use a debit card at all if it's in the Visa network. It's even more perplexing because Maestro is the Debit Card brand of Mastercard, same as Delta is the debit card brand associated with Visa. It just seems like a strange and arbitrary choice on NTL:Telewest/Virgin's part. Why would they choose to exclude so many potential customers, given that even those who sign up as a new customer with Direct Debit need to make their first payment by card?
