Virgin Media retention deals (post your haggling successes)

Has anyone had any good retention deals for just broadband only? I'm paying £34 per month but thinking of leaving if I don't get a cheaper offer

On hotukdeals threads a price around £22 appears achievable for broadband only after you cancel and get a call back from outbound retentions.

Retentions offered me £24.99/month for 50Mbps broadband and line rental after I gave notice of my cancellation - so I took it.

It depends on what you need - there have been various reports of full house including 200mb offered for £45 through text and email after cancellation.

I need 350mb broadband but that’s it really
We don’t use the land line and we could get away with free view however Eurosport is nice to have

Got another call back from the loyalty team and given that I've not arranged anything else I decided to agree to the latest deal.



Was offered

100Mb BB

Talk Anytime (unlimited)

TV Player

Premier sports

£53 a month but with a £50 credit so takes it down to around £49 a month. Was offered 50Mb BB for £52 per month but then he said he could do 100 for £1 more.

Was previously paying £40 for exactly the same.

Not a great deal but certainly much better than the earlier offers. I couldn't get it much cheaper anywhere else and that was with ADSL instead of decent fibre and would need new line installed and an aerial too. I keep telling myself we've had really good deals for a long time so eventually I was going to have to pay slightly more.....

Sorry to say, that isn't a very good deal compared to what others have achieved, but if you are happy then that is all that matters.

This is an example of a new customer offer - £28 for 100mb, landline and weekend calls (£75 account credit too):

Admittedly not anytime calls, player tv or premier sport, but there will be deals round for them too. Our retention deal last month was £45 per month with £50 credit for Full House.

You can cancel again within the cooling off period - search hotukdeals for further examples of what others have achieved.

must have been the quickest call back ever! was paying 75 pound a month for our virgin (was reduce to 55 for the last year) call two days ago and cancelling my contract (offered me the same price but a upgraded box....) and the very next morning call from the retention given me the same package with new boxes for 52.5 a month.

ask the fella about how busy it was and said no one ever cancels around xmas so i was lucky to get the deal... unsure on that but still happy with the price
