Moving from VirginMedia
I am looking to move from Virgin as the price they are charging is frankly a joke despite been a customer since 2011. Sky offer to "cover" the cancellation which I get for other providers is a simple swtich, how does it work with Virgin?
Also does anyone have the 2.5Gb service from sky?

Exactly the same for broadband: Virgin is part of the one-touch-switch system. For Virgin television you'd need to cancel with them.

That's only available where Sky Broadband is provisioned on CityFibre infrastructure.
BT Halo 3+ Ultrafast FTTP (500Mbs), BT Smart Hub 2

You pay any termination fees to Virgin and provide Sky with a copy of the bill from Virgin where you have been charged an early termination fee and a copy of a statement showing that you have paid it and send these to Sky via this email address - switching credit @Sky.uk (all one word without the gap)

Re: Moving from VirginMedia
Cheers for the answers, I will probably make the call to Sky then as I need a line installing and that can take a while 😂
I am in a cityfiber area so likely to be the 2.5gb service as I think the 5 is overkill. Saying that it's still cheaper what virgin are charging me 😂
