Virgin Media Student 9 month contracts

Just signed up for a 9 month broadband contract with no phone line. 30mb cost me £22.50 and I installed it myself so saved myself £50! Used saynoto0870.com to get a number as I can't afford to call those numbers and got 01618341852. Really good service and based in the UK.

  • 12 month SIM Only Check if you can get a good 3 mobile signal first - unlimited tethering £15pm including 2000 any network minutes and unlimited data.

    Why pay extra for broadband if you can use your mobile? (not everyone can get a good signal from 3 inside buildings - check first).

    ... now with free roaming in Ireland, Denmark, Italy, Austria, Australia, Sweden and one other which escapes me.

  • Tethering is all very good, but when you're watching a video, loading up forum pages and got a SwagBucks video in the background, it just doesn't cut it. I struggle with my cable internet at home, I just couldn't live without fibre optic broadband and tethering is a really poor comparison

  • Flo you sound like a bit of a drama queen when it comes to fibre !

    I have lived years with 1.5MBps via the landline because it has been the fastest available but if your life revolves around heavy bandwidth requirements then I fully understand - each to his or her own :)
