£30 for 150 broadband only

Hi all,

With the Virgin price increase I'm being charged £38 for broadband only now. I don't have phone or TV, and I'm out of contract. I used to get a £7 loyalty discount but looks like that's gone as I'm out of contract.

I'm perfectly happy with Virgin Media's service, I just don't want to be fleeced for it. I called them and they offered £30 a month with no change to speed, so I'd keep the 150 service.

Does that sound like a decent offer knowing I'm broadband only? Was considering pushing for the new Hub 3.0.

Many thanks all.

    That's not a bad price for 150mbps.

    The new hub 3 is fairly cheep looking.

    But nicer looking than the Hub 2...
    But then that is subjective.

    Vodafone BB-only 38Mbps Fibre is £25pm.

    There is currently a Carphone Warehouse exclusive price for Sky ADSL BB & Landline at £15pm.

    Depends on whether you need the speed.
  • Thanks guys. Appreciate the suggestions.

    That has now expired and it wasn't fibre.

    Okay - was only offered it on Friday. The guy never mentioned pending expiry.
    ...and it wasn't fibre.
    I did say it was ADSL.

    We quite often see people on MSE asking similar questions who are on BB speeds that are unnecessarily high.
