Are 30 day contracts offered?

Up to speed

My Virgin contract has recently finished and of course the time has come to haggle with retentions. However this time around an Altnet is just about to start building outside my house and I’d of course love to switch to them as they’re prices are lower and speeds are better for a much much lower price. The problem is the out of contract price is just too high, and I’d love to drop the TV service - without having to sign a lengthy 18 month contract. If I can’t get a 30 day contract, I’ll probably get some sort of short term mobile broadband until we can get Full Fibre to our house and switch our Landline to a VoIP provider.

In short: can I downgrade my package without having to sign an 18 month contract.

I believe the answer is no, you can’t. Any change will start a new 18 month contract. So you need to plan ahead carefully and make your own calculations and decisions on the best approach going forward.

Hi @WoahWoahUser 

You will find the 30 day contracts are more expensive  and only available on the M100, M200 and M350 speeds.

£50 for M200 is a lot less than I’m paying now (~£100) and I really do not need Virgin’s TV or Landline services as they simply go unused, I might try out three’s 5G broadband as I know they’re quite good in my area and a whole lot cheaper than Virgin. Thanks for that link, didn’t know virgin still did 30 day contracts - they’re very good at hiding it.
