Switching to Virgin Media
If you’re currently using another broadband or TV provider, it’s easy switching your service to Virgin Media.
Start by ordering your Bigger Sports Combo bundle online. When you do this, you’ll be given a choice of possible installation dates. Normally, a Virgin Media engineer will come around to install the service for you, unless you’ve recently been connected to the Virgin Media network in the past (in which case, you might be able to install it yourself using a QuickStart kit).
You’ll need to tell your old provider that you’re moving to Virgin Media and that you’d like to cancel the old service with them.
