Has anyone who managed to get more channels or calls etc for a reduced bill got a bill through yet?
Ours arrived 2 days ago and they only credit they have given us is for the extra channels, so instead of our bill going down to £30 a month again, it's still about £50. Hubby is going to phone tonight, but they just don't seem to know what they are doing...!

Just waited 10 mins on hold with Virgin, after 4 minute conversation got normal monthly bill dropped from £98.00 to £85. Now on VIP package which includes all channels including all the sports which I didn't have before. All the phone enhancements and when my 10 mb goes to 20 mb broadband the price stays the same.
I asked if I would need a new modem and they said most modems would not have to be changed, if there was any problem with the speed they would sort it out.

Similar to Brio although I was paying £108 as I did have sports add on and I am now also on the fixed for life £85 VIP package. So thats £27 a month saved and a better broadband speed, a V box fitted and talk unlimited for my phone. Very happy with that! :T

I had a package with telewest for £30,broadband,telephone,television,also sky sports for £22. I phoned virgin about losing sky programmes and the girl offered me 6mths.upgrade to L for free.When I received my bill the other day I had been billed £11.50 for the upgrade!!! I had to phone again and complain just waiting for my next bill to see if it has been sorted out.

I have to admit although I sort of got a discount (Used to have M BB, M phone L TV- £42, no got XL TV, M BB, M Phone, V+ - £40)

I am worried about the price being wrong, I have my XL TV now, so hoping I dont get charged for my V+ box which isnt coming until mid April

i ran at the begining of the month cuz my red button wasnt working i said " i dont mind that sky 1 has gone but there is no piont in having the new channels if my red button doesnt work " as she walked me through a set up check she said she'd look at my bill and she managed to reduce it by £10.50 for 6 months
i didnt say anything about leaving
yesterday i decided that i wanted a sky + box so i called cancelations department and advised i want to cancel cuz i want a sky + box as fed up arguing with OH re what to watch the lady advised about the v+ box(i hadnt heard of it before) that does the same its £10 per month more expensive but i have no fitting charge they are coming on monday to fit it yeah

don't hold your breath with the V+ box. I have been waiting four weeks and it was fitted yesterday but the VOD, Virgin Central, and Help&Info don't work on it. I get more on my standard box so I'm going to ring them today to say that if they can't sort it, they can have it back, and I'll get Sky!

I have just managed to get the following deal:

VIP - £73.50 for 6 months then £85 (reduction of £11.50 for 6 months for the Sky issue)
Free Installation - saving £25
I also got a refund of £15 as they messed up the install of an additional v box by turning the main one off - leaving one box without channels for 12 hours

It pays to complain :T

Hi,,

Can someone please help me out here,, im rather confused!!

Rang Virgin media today,,

What i had/was paying for before i rang was,,

£41.50 a month for
Starter Tv package £5.50
Blueyonder Broadband complete £25
Telephone line rental £11

This is what i was offered,,

For 12 months

My bill reduced by £10.50 a month.
Upgrade to the XL tv package.
3 for £30 deal, but i got to pay £7 on top for my broadband so its £37 a month.

An extra box installed free of charge upstairs but it will cost an extra £9.50 a month.

200 minutes of phone calls a month, including calls to mobiles. £9.00.



So my new bill will be £55.50 a month.

Is this a good deal??

phoned virgin media...in feb...

did have phone (11.50) and b/b 10mb for £35

they added tv (L) for £1 so £46... (people told me this wasnt a good deal) so

then i read this page and decided to phone again (retentions), they offered:

10mb B/b, Phone M, and TV L for £42.50
or 4mb b/b for £32.50

so ive taken the £42.50 deal so i'm £4 better off each month with the TV (L) package thrown in too...(I tried to get sports or V+ but he wasnt having it)

update...phoned again today

upgraded to XL for free and given V+ for £10 p/month (free install)

not bad i guess
