Virgin contract

[Keith1690]

I have just moved from Virgin to Sky. I gave Sky my Virgin account number at the start, do Sky cancell my Virgin contract or do I need to do it.

[PandJ2020]

Depends,

What service(s)?

You will need to cancel your tv service with Virgin as Sky can not do this. For Broafbamd and Talk they should do this for you.

Broadband and Tv

Sky can only cancel a broadband service as part of them switching you over, due to Ofcom's One Touch Switching platform that all providers have to use.

But for TV services they can't cancel on your behalf so you need to do that.

I am just about to do the same VM advised me on chat that sky would so it all.

email below from them also

Sky let us know that you’re thinking about switching your Broadband,Telephone over to them. Although we hope you change your mind, here’s everything you need to know about switching.

 

£0.00 Early Disconnection Fee 

Because you’re still in contract with us, you’ll be charged an early disconnection fee if you switch. Any bundle charges, usage charges, or outstanding bills will be calculated separately based on your switch date.

 

What you'd need to do if you switch

• Head to your my virgin media account to view and pay any outstanding balances.
  
  
• After you switch, you'll need to send our equipment back to us, if you have any. We’ll be in touch with more details if you decide to go ahead.

Note that TV isn't mentioned...  if you have a VM TV service then you need to cancel that, Sky cannot.

Personally, I'd make sure Virgin send you a written email confirmation that both the talk/broadband and your TV services have indeed been cancelled, that you can refer back to just in case you have issues, as unfortunately, you wouldn't be the first to be told your services had been cancelled when switching providers when in fact they haven't
