Virgin bundle.... deal or no deal?

285 Posts


Just trying to get some comparisons with others following the usual round of haggling. I currently have a Big Bundle with Player TV (M) (essentially Freeview stuff), plus M100 Fibre Broadband and Talk Weekend. I pay £38 a month, which is due to rise to £42 from March 1. I have total discounts of £20 applying at present, which are due to end on March 30. So if all the discounts applying are taken off on March 30 then it will £58 plus the £4 increase on March 1, which would mean a total of £62.
After calling retentions and the usual round of pointing out offers for new customers plus what Sky and BT are offering, Virgin offered a total of £43 per month and no further movement. How does that sound compared to others and is it worth trying again or does it look fair compared to others? I've said I'll think about it while also looking elsewhere. I haven't given notice to go. There's no BT Openreach where I live.
