Virgin Media retention deals (post your haggling successes)

AndyPK

jatin Your LineRentalSaver is still active, so the bill is £19 less.


19+2=£21

So when do I need to pay for the next 12 months because they have not asked? Or are they going to add into the invoice?

Probi

Hi all,

I have just been offered the below when calling in:

Mix TV
100MB Broadband
Talk Weekends
Free V6 box
Free BT sport for 6 months

For £22 a month (not including line rental as I already pay for this using the line rental saver)

Is it worth me threatening to leave? Previously I have had a rolling discount so have been paying £12 a month for the same, but not sure if I could get any further discount?

Or does anyone have any advise on the best way of getting a further discount? I never seem to do very well at these things!

Thanks!

I guess you need to phone up in a months time, and pay it by card.
or ask them

I said no ! She then proceeded to tell me I wouldn't get speeds like theirs anywhere else, I pointed out I spend more time resetting the box then I currently spend on-line so anything I get elsewhere will be quicker !

Hi all
I just read up on how to haggle from the MSE site and managed to get a better deal with Virgin media re the tv and internet.
It was costing me £72 per month for half the channels I did not use! They got me on a better package that was reduced to £52 per month and included the price hike in Nov 2017 that will come into play.
I also got 100mb broadband from 70 at no extra cost.
I did say i was thinking of leaving but it had no impact.
However, big thanks for saving me at least £20 per month.

Paying £27 a month for 100mbit broadband (no phone line). Rang up following £2.99 price rise in November and had a £2.99 credit applied to my bill with immediate effect for 6 months. No new contract and current contract runs out in January so can renegotiate then

Signed a new contract earlier this year. It was just basic BB at 70Mbps. £32.25 for 12 months, but with a £10 a month discount for 18 months. Useful as I would still have 6 months discount when the contract ended to find a better deal.

Forward to the price increase announcement. I phoned up to cancel, but nothing further to offer so I cancelled, all set to move to Plusnet or elsewhere.

Received a call from retentions offering to credit my account with £169.68. No new contract, so it still has 7 months to run.

Now that's my sort of deal.:money:

For those who shy away from arithmetic, that's 7 months at £24.24 I've had credited. Free internet until the contract ends.:j
