At first,I thought it was news of a pricing structure for when it runs out. I wonder when Virgin will announce what the price will be?.

I got that too, despite having started the 6 months free in December. VM really need to sort out their email software, they are always making mistakes like this.

That page also implies that only the higher priced Spotify Premium is available via VM. Spotify also have a lower priced Unlimited service at Â£5.

Thanks David

I have been a Spotify premium subsciber for a few years now and I was hoping that when the free deal ends in May the charge would be Â£3-Â£5 for Virgin Media customers. Looks like there would be no advantage if I have to go back to paying Â£9.99 for Premium.

They do, but that version wouldn't allow the TiVo or Mobile app to work - which is why it's only the Premium version that is offered through VM

Since I've signed up for the offer (and my daughter had registered her account to take advantage of it) I've had 2 emails reminding me to sign up for Spotify. I was pretty sure only one account is allowed under this offer, so is this just an automatic email from VM or are more than one account allowed? I thought the first email was just a delayed reaction to my signing up but after the second one it made me wonder.

Is the 6 months free being offered to those being given the free speed doubling?

I received an email today after having received the superhub last week saying i had to register to get the 6 months spotify.

I have gone from 20mb to Superhub 60mb and received the same e mail the other day.

I am on 50 megs and only renewed the contract to get the offer. There wasn't much point in upgrading to 100 megs, as our double-speed upgrades are supposed to be happening between April and July. But yes, if the option to take up the offer is not showing in your online account settings, you need to call them and ask them to enable it.

When I ordered a Superhub about 10 days ago so that I could get the speed upgrade from 20 Mbps to 60 Mbps, a new 12 month contract arrived in the post for me to sign. It included the 6 months of Spotify, but I wondered why I had to sign a new 12 month contract so I called VM and asked. I said I would rather not sign a new contract, so they said that was fine, but by not doing that I would no longer get the 6 months of Spotify.

Are/were you on any sort of retention deal?

I never received a new contract, just an e-mail.

Thats a nice suprise,I thought my free Spotify was due to end in May but according to 'My Virgin Media' it is now July 27th. I assume another 2 months were added when I got my new phone on Virgin mobile last November.

Try this link Andrew https://my.virginmedia.com/customer-...a-and-spotify/

It should be free for 6 months providing that you re contract for 12 months

Not quite, more of a bridge.

In the desktop Spotify application, click "Help" and then "Your Account".

That should open up the Spotify account website, where you can subscribe (you can't do it until the Virgin Media "free" period has expired).
