20 Mb service for £26.49 wow

stevo_bcfc · 14-09-2007, 14:05

i was on the 4 Mb cable service but kept getting capped all the time (lousy 750kb limits).!

so i thought enough is enough and eventually got through to sales dept on the phone.

now here's the good part:

for only another £1.50 per month you will be upgraded to 20 Mb service.

that means £26.49 for 20 Mb. i personally think this offer is amazing, but you have to be cheeky and ask for this, otherwise they deny it exists!!

Well good luck to you but it is no more than just another smack in the chops for all the persons paying £37.00 per month. No wonder the network is in the state it's in.

Mind you, the way my "20meg" performs I doubt that even £26.49 is a bargain.

Or if your that bothered by STM, nag them to put you onto the £40/month business package (soon to be 20mbit, at current is 10mbit) with no STM what so ever, then leech away

anyone else waiting for the posts from the OP saying he's not getting the 20mb he "pays" for?

I think that only works if you have broadband only.

AFAIK, you can't have a business and residential account at the same address, and there is no TV service on the business accounts. Not sure about phone.

Can any VM employees confirm that please?

Because there is no point paying for 20mbit when your not gonna get it, most people work during the day, and don't enjoy paying £37/month only to be shaped down to 5mbit after an hour of getting home.

And perhaps its also the fact VM keep wasting their income/profit on shareholders and rather useless adverts instead of paying for the upgrades the network actually needs.
