What is my cooling off period?

Last updated: 16 March 2026

When you order broadband, you have a 14-day cooling-off period which starts the day after you confirm your order. During this time you can cancel your order without early termination fees.

When does the cooling-off period start?
Your 14-day cooling-off period begins the day after you place and confirm your order, whether the order was made online or over the phone.

This means the cooling-off period starts before your service goes live, as your contract begins when the order is agreed.

Can I cancel during the cooling-off period?
Yes. If you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period, you can do so without early termination charges.

However, if any work has already been completed or your service has gone live, charges may apply for:

  • Installation work
  • Activation of the service
  • Time connected

Any applicable charges will be outlined in your terms and conditions.

How do I cancel within the cooling-off period?
The fastest way to cancel an order is through Live Chat, where a member of our team can review your request and help arrange the cancellation.
