Broadband renewal time

So it's that time of year again, though now it seems that Virgin don't want to offer me anything better now I'm out of contract.


Are there any sales reps from BT/Sky/Virgin that would be willing to talk about deals?

    Very likely there are but, until you pick up a telephone and speak to one, you won't know.

    That made me lol good sir.
  • Check to see if your area is fibre enabled for BT as we can only get sub standard 0.64 - 5mbps. Fibre is not coming to my area for years and so switching to Virgin for faster speed.

    Why don't you cancel virgin and go back and rejoin virgin, or phone them up as a friend got hers renewed at a cheaper price than the £72 she was paying.

    Also look to see if your house with take BT fibre if its in your area, as you might get a shock and find out its not.

    We have been with BT for years and only received 0.64 to 5mbps.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Second Anniversary
    I had the same issue with Virgin recently, they wouldn't offer me anywhere near a new customer deal (£35/39 a month I think was their best offer) so I cancelled the contract. I was dithering about who to go with as had a month to decide. Anyway the very next day after cancelling Virgin rang and offered £29 a month for phone and broadband, I said I'd been looking at deals around the £25 mark so she added some discounts and I'm now paying £24.85 a month.

    You have to cancel with them now to get the good deals!

    Oh I'd been with them 2 years at this point
    Original Mortgage: February 2010 = £150,000
    MFW #13: January 2019 - £126,155
    Current Feb 2020 = £118,013
