How much do you pay for Virgin Broadband?

Hi everyone

We currently have the "L" package broadband from Virgin Media (we also have 2 telephone lines from them) and pay £25 per month for the broadband alone (plus £11 each telephone line rental). I've been with them since it was ntl, so a long time.

Anyway, I was looking at their website and saw offers for new customers stating "L" broadband package 5 for 3 months, £14 per month after that.

I have emailed them but no response as yet (can't get through on the phone, on hold for ages) but I just wondered what everyone else was paying?

Thanks

    Hi, I pay £20 a month for the broadband (M) from Virgin, I also have a tv package (M) which is 11.50 per month, plus £11 line rental, then they deduct 9.50 as it is classed as a bundle.
    Though what has always confused me is when I joined (as NTL) I was told free line rental because of TV subscription, so to my mind it should be deduction of £11 and not the £9.50
    I use my free mobile minutes as much as possible (except when I dial 0845 etc) so my monthly bill to Virgin usually comes in around £37-£42 depending on calls.
    Went off on a tangent there a bit, so the answer to your question is £20 a month for M broadband, which I feel is expensive but don't have BT line so the outlay for getting connected deters me from switching, so I feel pretty much stuck with Virgin

    i have just renewed my 10 mb connection
    last year i paid a year up front £192 it worked out to £16pm

    but it was not up for renewal untill 13ththis month so when i received a bill and phoned them up using 0800 number then getting them to transfer me to right department and they said i owed £52 odd i freaked and asked them to put me through to the disconnection team he said it was because i did not set up direct debit so was being charged a fee each month and also a fee for paper billing apparently i should have set up paperless billing

    anyway i have managed to renew for £18 a month only £2 a month extra but £2 cheaper than my friends who just took out a contract for £20 pm

    I pay £25 just for L broadband. I know I could get cheaper but I'm considering moving house and don't want the hassle of being locked into another contract.
