Yes. You have to sign a new contract every time you re-negotiate. That you already signed a new one recently is entirely irrelevant. Is THAT clear now?
Easy now my fuzzy little man peach.

I agree entirely but.....I've been with virginmedia from day one, had VIP collection since release date which as crept up fron £75 to at present £105 pm

So I rang Virgin last week after seeing the new VIP Collections offers as i have been out of contract for years although i'm still a virgin payer.

I asked for the VIP collection offer were it's half price for 6 month then £90 but the lady said thats for new customers Sir, not for you who is paying £105 a month and still as the V+ box, old 256 ambit modem and 20mb BB!!!!

So my argument with her was that if i took on the new VIP offer i would have a new product/ new contract

so therefore becoming a new customer again!!!

she wouldn't budge

Re: After 13 years with Virgin

Isn't the fact that they let you out of a contact you'd willingly agreed to just a few weeks earlier actually a point in Virgin's favour?

Re: After 13 years with Virgin

Here's hoping Nor will return and let us know what he has actually decided upon and how it's going for him..Otherwise I see no point in reading this thread.

Which, of course, you wouldn't. Unless you want to lose all your accrued discount?

Re: After 13 years with Virgin

Oooft, thanks for all the replies and advice. I am interested in anyone's view on it, which is why I posted. I have spoken to retentions and their plan was to reduce my services to reduce my monthly bill.

My package:

1 Tivo (which I paid £150 for)
2 V+ boxes
50MB Broadband
Telephone (very bottom package as I don't use the phone)
TV XL
Sky Sports

I don't have Sky Movies. I don't have any Premium HD channels.

Bill comes to £105 per month.

thank you I will do
