Re: Virgin Media Mates Rates for 2012
Correct. I recently noticed that my current package is £3.56 more expensive than the same services would be under the new "collections"pricing. My recent price rise was £3.70. Would anybody really stand for a price increase when they knew they could wipe out the majority of it by changing the price structure applicable to the same services? Only a fool, easily parted with his money, surely?

Crap would be £0 discount off the normal price, can't really complain that Virgin are still offering something

Re: Virgin Media Mates Rates for 2012
Has it changed again since March? So isn't it still a £33.95 discount?

New customers can get 6 months half price, £140 cashback on Quidco/Topcashback etc.

Re: Virgin Media Mates Rates for 2012
So with the change how will this affect those on the old triple XL based Mates Rates? Does the new deal compare well in trrms of services? Our price went up £3.50 which was annoying - how long will this package last? It was supposed to be at least 18 months/as long as my mate works there?

Mates Rates gives you a fixed discount. You are still getting the same discount as before, but the base price has gone up by £3.50.

Re: Virgin Media Mates Rates for 2012
Thank you for clarifying, I will stay on my current version then as I have two TiVo and a V+ so best off not to tinker with the package as knowing my luck someone would change it and I would lose out (though do not need the mobile or international £2 add ons, which I believe I cannot remove without it affecting the Mates Rates discount? Shame as that would wipe out the rise).
Many thanks
MrB
