Share your Virgin Media deal
Just been on the phone to disconnections with VM to try and squeeze a better deal out of them and they are adamant that I'm on the best deal they could possibly give so I thought it might be helpful if we compare deals and gives us something to hit them with.
Sorry if anyone works for Virgin and thinks this isn't acceptable. My deal 60MB Broadband All channels (kids, music, documentaries etc) apart from Movies and Sport TiVo box in front room V+ HD box in 2nd room All available HD channels Unlimited evening and weekend phone £56.74 Just managed to squeeze next month half price out of them as long as I don't disconnect in the next few weeks. |
I work there, so good luck! Biggest prob will be your bill starts to magically increase over the months for no apparent reason. Hmmm
Deal seems ok though, similar to what I negotiate with SKY. |
VM are good at sneaking the price up little by little ..
|
Will keep an eye on the bill but have had at least one letter in the last year which stated due to rising cost's my bill would be going up accordingly. Think it went up by around £5.
Have been looking at SKY deals and I'm finding ones similar to what I've got minus the 60MB and 2nd box for around the same price, but with SKY I'd get the F1 channel which is a deal winner for me, plus Quidco have some cracking cash back deals on at the mo. |
Think I get a bad deal now,
20mb broadband Free evening and weekend calls tiVo box with all channels except sports and movies Pay £65 per month. I don't have another TV so another box is no use to me, had an amusing conversation when I upgraded to TiVo. The Virgin call centre couldn't understand I only have 1 TV, even when I asked what I was supposed to connect a second box to? |

I don't know if its just me but when you add your package they tell you what your monthly price is then you agree, but then later on you want a discount?
Why agree in the first place if you're not happy with the cost? |
