Retentions deals?

Vegeta · 16-10-2007, 16:32

Are there any deals doing the rounds for 20mbit broadband?

Thanks!

Depends who you talk to, all you can do is ring them and ask.

last time I spoke to them a few months back it was something around £8 off each of the tiers - e.g. you could have a choice of £10 or £17 or £28 depending on the speed you require.

why do you want a deal just pay the standard rate

I agree, allthough it is nice to get a deal, getting a deal means Virgin earns less money. They could really do with that money to improve there services

Last time I spoke to them I was awarded (without asking) a good will gesture of 3 months half price 20meg BB. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly this was not reflected in the subsequent invoice. I would ring up

billing but I have now 99.9% decided to dump VM because of continuing poor service and issues. Regrettably I feel VM no longer offer value for money.

I have been wandering the same myself. I have till April for my phone and internet and am currently 'shopping' for Sky HD box for TV.

The price difference isn't much different any longer.

VM so called 20meg = £37.00 per month. Be Pro is now £22.00 per month. £15.00 per month less for what is now purported to be a superior service to VM's offering in some, maybe lot's, of area's is a saving not to be sneezed at.
However I wouldn't even be looking at Be if my VM conn was solid. Unfortunately it isn't and going by VM's present predilection of clawing in the cash while spending the absolute minimum I really can't see it improving in the foreseeable future.

I've been on a few deals with virgin/ntl for a couple of years. I always ask what deals are available, i'm on 20mb for £17.50 at the moment.

The way my conn is working these days I would consider £17.50 to be a complete rip off for it.

Same here.

Enuff · 17-10-2007, 07:30

My connection is working just fine, 2.3mb/s most of the time, and for £17.50 i'd say that wasn't bad at all.

It's the TV XL package which is included, has 6 Setanta sports channels, I assumed that VIP was just the 3 XL packages.
