Righty, 4meg for 25 quid is dire. Yes.
Can get amazing whoopdidoo upto 24meg for a quid cheaper...

I emailed be and they said "youll get about 9megs on that phoneline."
With virgin rolling out 10meg sometime, is it worth it? I'm going to email virgin and ask on a date and price.

Now i know with virgin id get 10meg stable, with upgrades down the line, with be I wont get a stable connection it will disconnect time to time (not fussed, i turn pc off at night etc so hey), but it will fluctuate and wont be upgraded.

Worth the move or stick with? I'm tempted to stick with, even if it is dire for the price atm.

You mean 20meg as of next week.

As for the topic; Just call Virgin and say you are thinking of leaving, they'll offer you a deal.

I just got 10meg for £16/month out of them, which will be 20meg next week.

Seriously?!

Just the broadband? if so I'll get dad on the phone tomorrow!
What did you say.do to get the to drop price?
10meg for 16quid is damn nice!

Hmm, so you had a phone and bb package or?

I've seen many people phoning about packages but not just singular you see.

Oh well, can get dad to complain as hes uber annoyed at paying 25quid for 4meg when be is 4times the speed for less

.

Got the number you phoned btw? He said he'll call tomorrow and have a go at them, ha

We have phone and broadband from Virgin Media but we're downgrading the phone package soon.

They wanted to offer us a deal on our TV package too, until we told them we're still watching SkyOne.

Just call Virgin Media's main number and you'll get a number option for complaints.

So your telling me to lie my face off say I watch sky one religiously and have a better phone package cus all my dad wants from them is broadband?

Done

Well after 40 mins on the phone, been passed around 6 times. I got a guy to quote 27quid for 10meg, phone with free tv.

Put through to "sales" and the woman said he was mis informed. FFS

Ulfhedjinn, she said that if i can get account info of someone who has a likewise deal (your 16quid for 10meg i mentioned) they would honour it and gimmie the same! But obv they need to check against the other persons account.

WOndered what phone package your on, and your monthly bill. If this is too personal tell em where to go, or could you email me with details. I'm rather annoyed the woman wasnt having the 3 for 27, grr.

Phoned up again and sounded all sad to the guy, haha. He said its on the records, but he did quote me wrong, it should be 36quid a month. Ha. SO hes emailed him with my mobile number and said "well he has to honour it, cant really go back on himself after a quote". Time shall tell!

Hmmm, yours is a tad to high for my rents, it seems. (max my rents want is 30 a month)

I have phoned up and they said the guy has to honour the offer even thought it was wrong

But thanks for the info, very helpfull!

I just have to wait it out now and see if they phone me :/

Cheers
