Netflix with ads

This has happened to me too. Netflix Standard on renewal contract, a week later I get an email saying that Virginmedia have removed my Netflix Standard and replaced it with Netflix standard with Ads. 

Not what I signed up for.

Are you able to help with this?

  • This has happened to me as well. We were offered to renew our contract exactly the same deal as was already on which we accepted. The contract came through and clearly states Netflix Standard.  This morning we received an email from Netflix advising changed to Standard with Ads. I spoke with Virgin who couldn’t amend it and needed to forward to another department which could take 10 days ! Spoke to Netflix who said they never change contracts unless advised to. Was told I could change but need to pay more! I declined as the contract we agreed on with Virgin was for Netflix Standard not Netflix Standard with Ads. Please help as soon as possible as Netflix have already changed our package. Many thanks

This is not acceptable. Many thanks
