Got a cold call from Virgin today, asking me to take on their phone. I already have the 10mb BB which I pay just under £19 for, this is the only service from Virgin I have. The price was a trial offer due to expire in 3 months.
But I'm stuck in a contract with BT for my phone, which I tell them. No problem sir, the phone will be free...the conversation goes on etc..
To cut a long story short I asked about their 50mb BB, mainly to speed up things like PlayStation Network downloads, streaming etc. Plus the wireless router they supplied (Netgear WNR2000) really is crap and was thinking of buying a better one. No need now as the 50mb comes with a new modem and router
. So, free installation, a one-off £20 'activation fee' then £39pm for 50mb BB, TV (won't use ever), phone (won't use atm), seems like a good deal.
I have high hopes of getting somewhere near the 50mb as I get about 9.6mb with my current 10mb package. I shall find out next month!
