They are not the only ones to do this though are they? nearly all charge if you cancel before the initial contract is up

Re: Disgusted with virgin media broadband. Big rip off

Will.,
I would seek legal advice if VM try and get the £200.00

VM cannot demand the payment, if you want to cancel the contract if you are moving.

VM are a joke as far as l am concerned. Its only my wife keeping us with VM. The service is terrible, and there CS is even more disgraceful.

Most of there CS personnel have not got a clue on what we are talking about. I was on the phone for over half an hour once. And they could not answer a simple question that l put to them.

My mother in law waited for over a week to have something done. Before l emailed the CEO

And to make matters worse now - they are putting prices up - must be the prices at the local gold course have gone up

Its in the T&Cs of the contract you sign with Virgin Media that you will incur charges if wanting to cancel your contract early.

Pretty sure this is in the T&Cs of ALL companies if you want to cancel a contract early regardless of the reason so not just specific to VM

That being said with the majority of other companies if you move address you are 99.9% sure there will be a service even if you have to downgrade from VDSL to ADSL. That is not the case with VM.

The OP was quite willing to remain with VM but the service doesn't exist where he is moving to.

Re: Disgusted with virgin media broadband. Big rip off

Hasn't Virgin just jacked up the prices? OP should be able to get out of their contract based on that.
