But again, they are a billing mistake. maybe a billing mistake instigated by an advisor, but a billing mistake none the less.
sorry but it wasn't a billing mistake, it was just their business policy at that time.

The accounts clean up is going to take quite a while, but once it is done, Virgin's billing will be consistant, and based on a published list of bundles and discounts. Not the ex-ntl way of making it up as you go along
NTL were losing customers so they offered discounts to retain customers, in my case they undercut the sky broadband/ phone offer by 50p per month.

My beef with VM is that they are being completely dishonest by dressing this exercise up as a billing mistake, when all they are really doing is reneging on the NTL deals because they don't want to continue the loyalty discounts.

If VM had been honest, I would have more respect for them. But they are not honest and that annoys me to the point of taking my custom elsewhere.
