Virgin Media Cancellation Fee Rip Off

RIPTOFF et al

speaking from experience of this exact problem, the solution is this...
don't cancel the contract, just tell them you're moving.
worked for me.... didn't pay a thing

Virginmedia's T&C's simply call for 30 days notice. No mention of a cancellation fee - unless you are still in a contract period.

I cancelled my Virgin Media contract because I was moving house. I was with Virgin for years (It was NTL before that, and originally CableTel),

Virgin charged me a cancellation fee of £53 for each service!

To cancel the TV package: £53

To cancel broadband: £53

To cancel the telephone: £53

Total cancellation fee: £159

What a rip off!

If your not getting a wireless connection that's sounds like it was you that had the problem and not virgin

i would have to agree
3 faulty routers are unlikely and wifi is nothing to do with BB performance
