Unless you're a Virgin Media customer, you won't need to contact your current provider - we'll do that for you. If you are a Virgin Media customer you'll need to contact them to stop your service, they normally require 30 days notice.

Normally you can keep your phone number. We'll always try to do this for you, but there may be circumstances where we aren't able to. If this happens, we'll contact you before changing your number.

Switching usually takes about 14 days. We'll normally let you know what day your broadband will be live within 48 hours of accepting your order.

All of our broadband packages are totally unlimited. This means you can download as much as you want.

Superfast Fibre and Superfast Fibre Plus are fibre products and fibre broadband isn't available nationwide. When fibre broadband becomes available in your area we will let you know.

Our network partner does not have a nationwide network and as such we may not be able to provide our services in certain areas. Additionally, there are certain incompatible products such as BT Basic that means we cannot always take over an existing service.

Unless you recontract, the monthly charge you pay will increase at the end of your minimum term to the standard price for your chosen broadband package. For more information please see our Price List. 

We need this to ensure we can provide broadband at your home and to estimate your broadband speed more accurately. If our checks show that your phone line isn't compatible with our systems or you don't have an existing line, we may be able to install a new one, we charge £67.50 for an engineer to do this. You just need to let us know a convenient date and time.

You have a 14 day cooling off period starting the day after your order has been accepted. You can cancel your order free of charge any time up to midday the day before your service is due to start. If you want to cancel your order, please call us on 0330 094 5801.

Please note that if you’ve agreed to, and we have already started to provide the service during your cooling off period and you subsequently decide to cancel, you will have to pay us the full cost of the Services you've received up to the point when your service is either cancelled or transferred to another provider.

You always have a right to cancel your service, but if you do before your minimum period ends, you may have to pay early termination charges. All charges are set out in our Price List.

Broadband speeds are measured in megabits per second (Mbps) and show how quickly you can transfer data to and from the internet.

Average speeds are based on the download or upload speeds of at least 50% of customers at peak time. (8pm - 10pm).

Broadband speed can be affected by the quality of your phone line, how far your home is from the telephone exchange, the wiring in your home, electrical interference and how many people are using your broadband at the same time. We'll use your postcode and phone number (if you provide it) to give you a personalised estimate of the speeds you can expect to receive. We can’t guarantee the broadband speed you’ll receive. The speed estimated at point of order may be different to what you actually receive. If you change premises, the speed that you receive may change due to the services that are available.

You may not always have uninterrupted internet access; and your internet access, download speeds and upload speeds may not always be at the range of speeds we advertise.

You can check the estimated speed available at your location via 'Check Availability' on our website, or by calling us on 03301 730575. Find out more why broadband speeds can vary and troubleshooting speed issues.
