    Also agree that Virgin bill can come down. I pay around £65 a month for broadband (yes, the best connection, 24/7 - I am constantly on it through wifi, and my OH watches football and sport on it), sky movies and sport, and phonecalls any time (even to mobiles). We even got another box free (but no 2nd telly at the mo), and it cost nothing for installation, box, etc.


    We were previously with SKY who were insistent they couldn't do me another deal to stay with them for a year. Funny how once I actually quit and moved to Virgin, I had at least 3 people ring me up offering me a deal. Told them it was too late...

    im sure there will be a way around the virgin costs when it comes to actually taking out the deal, at the moment that £96 pm is through work at discount for 18 months fixed at £96 and that includes all the Tv channels , HD, sky sports, movies, premium HD channels and BT sport (yes its free but wouldnt be with sky I mean) 150 mb broadband and unlimited phone calls and also the £16 a month line rental

    hopefully Ill be able to squeeze a deal out of them but no rush until the contracts signed

    Yep, I get all that too (with Virgin) :) Doesn't sound like your work is getting you the best discount... Am sure they can do you a better deal direct when you're in.


    A water meter should be cheaper than fixed price. I pay £27pm (baths not/rarely showers, dishwasher, one person home all day, etc.

    Yeah the deal I found normally on their website was the same price as work get me but through normal Virgin site it's fixed for 12 months then goes up by £20 but the work one fixed it for 18 months. Only different
