Virgin Media Discussion Thread

They’re still going to find ways to scam us.

Got my renewal email to say my deal for only M500 broadband is rising to £74 in May, but if I renew now it’ll be just £31 a month.

Bullcrap.

That’s just copying Tesco’s BS claims that a non-Clubcard price is £5, when I’ve been buying the item for 30 years and it’s never been anywhere near £5. Lying through their teeth.


£31 also just happens to be the price I can get Vodafone’s 900mb for - minus whatever gift card/cashback is available at the time.

My discount was ending in April so I called them today got offered nothing so canceled.

Few hours later got a call told them i was moving to community fibre 1gbps and they offered me 1gpbs and netflix for £30 a month with no increase till 2027.

I was on 250mbs paying 30 anyway so took it.
 
Starting to hate our VM connection. 1 gig connection only used for work, so not stressed but way less reliable compared to the open reach fttp line we also have.

The OR zen line does all the hard miles and rock solid.

VM is up, but speeds are patchy, then drops out overnight every few weeks, very annoying.

Maybe will consolidate or get a 2nd OR connection. But was kinda the point to have diff networks for redundancy and backup option

Getting dual OR connections wouldn't make a lot of sense. Maybe switch to OR as your primary for everything and leave VM solely as a backup line?

Yeah that was the original point, putting a server on the VM to balance things out, not hogging main line, not sure can justify not using at all. Lol.

Maybe I just need to put non essential elsewhere and reprioritise.

Doesn't look like other symmetrical services coming anytime soon.
 
Maybe a failover solution of some sort. Might contact zen to see if possible. Looks like A&A can offer it.
 
I was going to leave but retentions offered me landline, 1gig, Sky Sports & UHD for £58 a month. I don't think I'd have got that cheaper elsewhere. Also, VM internet is rock solid here whereas full fibre has only just rolled out in this area.
