Unlike providers who use the rival Openreach cable network, Virgin Media does not allow its six million broadband customers to cancel expired contracts online. Thirty days' notice is required before any switch, compared with the 14 days' notice required to switch Openreach providers.
The cancellation process involves the same principle as if you were not under contract: you will need to call Virgin Media to give 30 days' notice that you would like your service to end.
If you are still with Virgin and are looking to renew your contract then call the main Virgin line on 0345 454 1111. Just press 1 for TV and broadband queries, then work through the options after that. If you had Virgin before but the contract ended, and you want a new deal from scratch then call 0330 221 4025.
Provided you are out of contract and on a monthly rolling deal, cancelling your Virgin Media service is very straightforward. You just need to give Virgin Media 30 days' notice that you want to leave. The quickest way to do this is by calling Virgin Media's customer service team on 0345 454 1111.
If you do not want to call Virgin Media to cancel, the next best option is to use the Live Chat facility on its website. Keep in mind that you may still need to speak to someone over the phone in order to confirm your identity and other details.
