VM contract ending soon 4 January 2022 at 1:38PM in Broadband & internet access 3 replies 201 views

Hi forumites,

My current 18 month fiber broadband contract (100Mbps with Virgin Media) comes to an end next month. I currently pay £24 per month and then it increases to £44. While it's a decent service, it's not an extra £20 better and there seems to be plenty of competition running over Openreach lines. But if I change to one of these providers I'll have to mess with relocating network cabling which I want to avoid.

Is anyone out there having success in blagging a rollover price from VM?

Why would you need to reroute cabling ??

The VM and Openreach sockets are on opposite sides of the room and I'd have to relay some ethernet cables which run to hardwired devices

Ring Virgin and tell them you're thinking of leaving. The current Vodafone 67Mb deal is a good one to give as an example. It's a slower speed, but much cheaper than Virgin. I got the £24pm deal for 18 months, but you have to go through the rigmarole of discussing your "options" with the standard customer service person, then rejecting their "best offer" (which in my case was still £40), before they put you through to the retentions team, who should then give you a much better deal. Good luck!
