General : 30 Days Notice!

Just wanted to remove SKY Sports as I had it for the cricket for the summer, just wondering have VM always had a policy of 30 days notice for cancelling a service or wishing to leave them in their terms and conditions?

Sky Premium channels have always been 30 days for as long as I can remember. When you signed up to them there used to be a notification that you had to give 30 days notice.....I've seen me in the past sign up for Sky sports and on the same phone call give my 30 days notice.

You can't be going mad because I had sky movies a while back and cancelled instantly without any bother

The term for the 30 days notice to downgrade services was added to the terms and conditions in February 2015.

However it wasn't enforced until earlier this year.

Maybe but I've downgraded in the last few weeks and it happened later the same day.

My recent downgrades have all been on 30 days notice.

I took that into account and cancelled a month before I actually needed to.

Thanks for the replies everyone, in future I will pay closer attention to the T&C

I found out today that if you are changing your package because of the coming price increase you can waiver that 30 days. I'm in limbo at the moment as to what to do with virgin media. My current package is too expensive and the only downgrade they can give me is £5 cheaper which will increase again in a couple of months with the increases.... not happy. Anyway don't want to hijack

sky sports and other premium channels must be kept for a minimum of 30 days, after that you can simply call up and cancel. Channels are removed straight away, https://www.cable.co.uk/guides/how-t...on-sky-sports/ . relevant part is towards the bottom in case you find it hard to believe.

That's out of date

I stand corrected. You do have to give 30 days notice
