FAQs
It’s quick and easy to switch broadband providers and move to Virgin Media. There’s no need to tell your current provider or give them 30 days’ notice, and you can switch at any time to one of our best broadband deals though if you do so before your minimum term is up, you might be charged fees.
Simply choose your prefered bundle across all our broadband, tv and phone deals. Once chosen, you can start your broadband switch, firstly just check if you're eligible using our postcode checker. Then you’ll be asked to give us some details, including your current broadband provider, surname, address, account number and the services you want to switch. We’ll use these to find your account with your current provider. If we can’t do this, you’ll need to contact your current provider to check your details or disconnect from them yourself.
Your current provider will send you some important info, including details of any early disconnection fees, which you should read before you agree to switch broadband providers.
Using our switching service, your connection won’t be interrupted, and you won’t have to pay for two providers while we get things sorted.

This depends on the type of installation you need. Our QuickStart self-installation kit can arrive in just four days, while an engineer visit – where we might need to install cables – will take longer. It can also take up to 10 days to transfer your phone number across.
Once you decide to switch broadband providers, you’ll be offered the next available installation date when you place your order with us.
Our new switching process only covers broadband and home phone. Some providers might cancel your TV service when you switch your broadband, and some need you to contact them to cancel TV separately. Your current provider will send you this info when you start switching. Either way, you can still grab TV packages from us.
This'll depend on where you are in the process. You can place an order with us using our switching service, but you might need to get in touch with your current provider to make sure you won’t lose access to your services too early.
Just let us know if you'd like to keep your number when placing your order. We'll get in touch with your current provider and try to transfer it across, and will let you know your options if this isn't possible.
We offer a QuickStart kit that makes it easy to set things up yourself – it can be delivered to most homes or Click & Collect points.
If QuickStart isn’t available in your area, we’ll send out an engineer at no extra cost. If you can get a QuickStart kit but choose not to use it, you’ll need to pay £30 for an appointment.
And just so you know, our services always come with an activation fee of £35.
No, you can reschedule your installation worry-free – we'll take care of everything with your current provider and make sure you aren't left without services while you switch.
The best thing to do is switch your services before you move. Then, once you’re ready to move, just follow our steps in the link below.
