Virgin Media Bundle With Quidco Cashback - Running out Soon!!

Hi All,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, so feel free to move if necessary!
I'm thinking of switching to Virgin Media, as my current broadband speed through Orange are rubbish. I'm currently paying £15 pcm for landline and 'up to 8Mbit' broadband with orange; but in reality only getting about 3 or 4 due to long distance from the exchange, so I imagine other providers will probably be the same sort of speed.
If I go with the cashback deal here on Quidco, and I get all 3 services (phone, broadband, and TV) on the minimum package levels I should get a total of £250 cash back, which (for the first year only) brings the cost to about £12 pcm, so less than I'm currently paying for just phone & broadband.
The cable internet whilst only 10Mbit will be significantly faster than my current set up, and I'll only get free calss at weekends on the landline (rather than evenings and landlines), but I'm not fussed about that as with the number of free minutes i get on my mobile, I barely use the landline for outgoing calls.
Obviously after a year, the average cost pcm goes up so I'll have to reduce the package or cancel, but I'm happy to do that.
What are peoples thoughts on that -there's only 3 days left to sign up so swift replies please if possible!! Many thanks!

Go for it but check the costs of leaving ADSL (there will be a ~ £25 termination charge if nothing else). I took a similar offer about 18 months ago (less cashback no TV).
If you don't mind having a new phone number you don't have to burn your bridges as you can keep your current stuff running then if VM doesn't suit cancel within 28days (iirc) at no penalty.0 -
how many complaints about none payment are on quidcos forumsDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

I never used to have cashback fail, until they did a trick stopped having scottish power with cashback and declined transactions from months prior.

cool - thanks for the info - will probably go for it tonight / tomorrow then.
I had a look on the quidco quidclans community (not really a forum), and there were a few tracking issues a month ago but can't see anything recent on there.0 -
