Virgin Media retention deals (post your haggling successes)

The annoyance was a Virgin web page published in the backlash of all these complaints that basically said that ALL Virgin Customers have access to ALL Virgin deals and if you are not benefitiing from the advertised deals then you need to talk to an advisor.

Perhaps you'd care to point us to this page? I'd be interested to see it.

This was about 4 years ago so i dont have it now, but Im quite sure they have this posted somewhere for exactly the same reason - to pretend they give a monkeys about their existing customers - There was no link to it from any of the other VM web pages so you can't "find" it - I think VM just share the link when it suits them and I kept it to throw back at them and shred it throughout the VM forums

Company's policies change from time to time. Just like their products. There's no requirement on them to treat each customer equally, if you don't like it, find another provider, there's lots out there touting for business.

Not too much haggling but cut my bill from £48 to £33 for anytime phone and 50mb broadband. I could have got a slightly cheaper deal elsewhere but there was some doubt about keeping my phone number, so happy with this.

Now - you have to give 30 days notice and can do so 30 days before the end of month 12.

I’m on the same as this other than I have the cheapest phone package (think it is called Talk Weekends but cannot recall exactly). Paying around £53 per month.
