| "A frequent query we receive is whether you need to inform your old provider when switching to us.
Typically, the answer is no, but there are exceptions.
We handle most notifications for you In most instances, we will notify your current provider of your switch to V4 Consumer, so you don't need to worry about it.
This streamlined approach ensures a smooth transition, allowing you to enjoy our superior service without any additional stress.
However, there are certain situations where you may need to intervene.
When you need to contact your current provider here are some specific cases where you will need to contact your existing broadband provider:
1. Switching from Virgin Media:
• If your current service is with Virgin Media, you will need to inform them directly that you are leaving, as they do not utilize the Openreach network, which necessitates manual notification.
2. Non-Openreach full fibre providers:
• If you are receiving Full Fibre (FTTP) services from a provider that does not use the Openreach network, such as City Fibre or Hyperoptic, you will need to reach out to them directly to cancel your service."
