Virgin Media package

gjs6385

Hi,

I currently have the following package with Virgin Media:

• M broadband (10mb)
• XL TV

For this I am currently playing £41.50 per month with no extra channels i.e. Sky sports/movies.

I have a V+ box which is obviously free as I have XL TV.

It just seems a little expensive and as I have been with them for almost 3 years so have well completed the minimum 12 month contract, does this mean I can cancel at anytime?

Also do others agree that it is a bit pricey?

Thanks.
Gareth.

What services does your billing notice say you have, and do you have the phone as well?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

No I don't have a phone line with them, I'm with Pipex as gf's parents are so it's free to phone each other.

Bill says:

TV Size: X L 11 December - 10 January £24.50
Broadband & TV Bundle Saving 11 December - 10 January £-3.50

Broadband Size: M 11 December - 10 January £20.50

Then you are paying a lot. I have XL TV,2 HD V+ Boxes, M BB, phone line/rental and free uk calls anytime for £49. You need to do some negotiating.

I thought I was! lol.

As I am over the minimum 12 month contract can I change my package/pricing or cancel at anytime? I assume there may be a cancellation notice period of 30 days or similar?

What would you reckon to be a fair price for what I am receiving - I would say around £25 at the most, more like £20.

Do you have a non-0845 number I can call them on?

What are other people getting for around the same price or does anyone get similar for less?

Also what difference having a phone line make?

hansi

I believe any deals are based on he basis that you must have a phone line

Why not get the phoneline aswell if you can get a better deal?

You can take your number with you.

Have a look at that other thread, it is a very long thread and someone else on there has probably been in the same situation as you.
