Has anyone had success with Virgin?

Options
Alright peeps

I have just checked my lasted Virgin Media Bill and it is now £50.99 for just the phone and broadband which is way too much..

So I am wondering if anyone on here has had any success of getting a better deal with them? Or do I just have to go elsewhere??

    Are you in contract ?

    If your not you can haggle with them for sure or move elsewhere if you like.
    What services do you get for that price ?
  • You can ask them

    But they're not entitled to provide you a discount

    Just that
    When my cm bill went over £50 I started shopping around and found that most my favourite channels are on Freeview. I switch to TalkTalk paid 18 months phone standing charge up front £250. Internet access was totally free and Wi-Fi router totally free. Paid £6.50 a month extra for anytime calls to any number including free calls to all mobile phones. total per month £6.50 the next 18 months.
    Just started the same contract again for the next 18 months at £24.99 with no upfront fee
    If I ruled the world.......
