My deal at present with virgin media is 2mg broadband ,XL tv ,phone -free phone calls anytime £42 per month .I have only just entered a 12 month contract with them 3 days ago .I dont now feel like they have offered me such a good deal considering i have been a customer for 8 years ,they made me feel like it was just wondered what other people thought of the price of the package ive got ?
Do they not have a cooling off period when you enter a contract ? I tried to get a HD box & tried to get a better deal but ive no chance now

You should get a cooling off period but be aware, I received a letter giving me 7 days from the date of the letter to cancel but I received the letter 10 days after the letter date :eek:

Call them as soon as saying you aren't happy, they may do better for you.

anyone after a V+ needs to play the system, as I did recently

used to do it on Sky all the time as well, anyway here is the way to get your V+ box "FREE"

I recently phoned VM, requesting a free V+ box, as SKY where offering Sky HD+ free + half price package for 12 months

when I quoted this, basically I was not offered a carrot (or incentive to stay) :mad::mad:

I was quoted £49 installation + £5 a month, as I'm on the basic package, I mentioned about the Sky offer etc, VM would not budge

so I cancelled all my package there and then, dam I thought, as I had to give 4 weeks notice I knew I could call back to reinstate my package

3 days later VM call me back to query why I was leaving VM etc
I told them I wanted a V+ box, and don't see why I should pay for either the installation or a monthly fee

the guy asked was I offered the V+ etc, I said yes, but at a cost of £49 & £5 a month, I said why should I pay when I could get it free off sky etc

I was then offered the V+ box for free installation, as a goodwill gesture, I was also offered 6 months free (wish I'd of stuck out for 12 months now)

however considering I was originally offered sweet F.A
I think a V+ box for free installation and 6 months free was a good deal

so the moral of the tale, is if your not happy with what your offered cancel your package with immediate effect (you can always call back to reinstate your package)

well after following my own advice, a few years ago
I used the same tactic's, I asked for a rebate/upgrade etc
got knocked back, so I cancelled the whole lot (ring any bells)

rang back about 2 weeks later to try again, BINGO, RESULT
was offered a deal to stay, not sure exactly what I'm paying something around £28 now (used to be about £26) the deal is I get about £19 back a month as a loyalty bonus
this is for basic TV, free calls 24/7 (except mobile etc) & 10mb broadband

the crazy thing is at the time I got my deal, I told 2 friends to do the same thing, they got a slightly better deal than me, only by coppers, never the less :mad::mad::mad::mad:

currently paying roughly £28 + extra phone calls(£2-£3), oh and a £5 for the V+
still well cheaper than what I should be paying :beer::beer:
