Broadband NI Deals

Hi All,

I just had an approach from a salesperson with Virgin offering a unlimited Broadband package with no line rental and 50 mbp's speed for £28.50 per month. Is this a good or bad deal?

Thanks

    Do you have a landline or are you intending to have one?
    We all have mobiles in our house (Adults at any rate) so I have this as I have no Landline. They were the only company to offer Broadband without the need for a landline so works out cheaper. If you have or intend to have a landline, BT Infinity & Virgin work out much of a muchness... haven't considered TV Options in this though..

    No landline and I don't intend to install one.

    That is Virgin Media's standard pricing at the moment for 50mb with no landline.

    If you know anyone with Virgin already get them to "recommend" you and you get free installation and they get £50 off their bill

    We have the Virgin BB, 50 Mbps, no landline or TV, but it's slightly cheaper at £27.65. It is a superb BB service.

    Virgin is the way to go if you do not have/want a landline

    Their customer service however is appalling
