If I leave Virgin will they want the cables back?

[Cheese4Me]

Hi

If I decide to leave Virgin (seriously considering it due to cost) will I have to give back the cables which are stapled to our walls and skirting boards?

This may not be possible as some of the cable is now hidden and couldn't be taken away without causing serious damage to the room it is in. Would Virgin be ok with leaving the cable?

Thank you

I believe all they will want back are the 'boxes' TiVo / hub etc.

Indeed, all they require to be returned is the boxes themselves, the power leads for them and any remote controls. And even this isn’t always necessary, it depends on the age of the equipment, for example, apparently if you have a Hub 3 or earlier, they don’t want it back and ask you to dispose of it properly.

Which they shouldn't do because under the WEEE Regulations they are legally required to collect it themselves for recycling.

Correct, but doesn’t seem to stop them though, does it?

Many thanks to everyone who answered my question. It's good to know they won't want the cable back and I won't have to destroy the house!
