£165 cashback on Virgin Media

Comments

  • I am planning to take the 10mb cable with line rental offer which is overall cheaper
    the only thing is virgin charges £40 for installation for 10mb..........
    they seem to have a "Connect a friend" scheme that can waive the installation charge

    is it possible to do a quidco cashback and "connect a friend" together?
  • I went through quidco twice, ordered the tv package in my own name and then ordered broadband using my mothers name.

    Are they both for the same address? I can't see them paying out twice if they are. Although if they do that's one hell of a deal.

    If you work it out, taking the 10mb bb and a phone line works out more expensive than bb alone. I don't think you can use the connect a friend option online. You can select self install for £20 if you already have virgin/ntl/telewest plumbed in to your property.

    Yes both for the same address, for all Virgin know, it could be student accommodation. Both have tracked so far so i'm happy :)

    Hi

    If you are allready a vigin media subscriber ( well my brother is). I've have never been their customer hence I'm New. I want to have the following offer:

    Sky Sports 1 & 2, with top TV package from £23 a month.

    My household allready has phone, tv and internet. Hence I wouldn't need the phone line.

    Hence would it work out as follows:

    £23*12 = £276 - £165 Cashback Final Amount = £111

    So will have all the top TV package 160 channels and also sky sports 1 and sports 2 all for 111 on a 12months contract.

    Is this calculation correct...???

    Many thanks

    p.s They won't need to do installation as allready have it with on the household.

    i know the bb deal is cheaper but I need a landline though

    I've got through to the stage of selecting the date of installation but there is no option for self install....... a bit of a headache
  • Did anyone's deal track overnight?

    Just asking because last week I took up the £65 cashback (where it tracked an hour later at midnight) but then cancelled within the cooling off period and applied again yesterday, however there was no track today.

    It's a great deal - 9 month student contract at £20/month - 165 = £15 for broadband for the year.

    No it wouldn't work out like that, to pay £23 for the tv package you'll also have to take out a phone line @ £11.99 a month, it doesn't matter that the household already has one.

    So £23 + £11.99 = £34.99 per month, add to that sky sports 1+2 which are £14.50 each you're total is £63.99 a month. You'll still have to pay for install which you can get for £20 if you self install.

    You'd be better off having the Tv only @ £29 per month, sky sports collection @ £22.50 per month. Total is £51.50 per month. Add £20 for self install and your annual cost is £618 - £165 quidco = £453 devide by 12 = £37.75 pm

    Both have tracked not long after order and this morning they had also validated.
