How hard is it to cancel Virgin Media Ireland?

Virgin Media Ireland requires 30 days' written notice to cancel broadband, TV, or home phone services, provided by phone (1908) or via an online web-cancellation form, or by post to their Limerick address. Customers purchasing through the website, in-store, or telesales have a 14-day cooling-off period (30 days for field-agent sales) during which they may cancel without penalty. An early termination fee of up to €150 may apply if a service is cancelled within the 12-month minimum contract period, and equipment must be returned or a €150 unreturned-equipment charge applies. Any credit balance remaining after the final bill must be requested by the customer; refunds are processed within 14 days of equipment return.

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
