Virgin Media Essentials

Options
Going to move my mum to this tariff. Does anyone use it? Only 3 devices using wifi in the house. A laptop/ one wifi security camera and a mobile phone.
Choosing the Broadband Essentials Plus and have to ask for the Talk More Anytime to be added. Mums currently paying £49.50 a month for broadband and talk, so thinking can get a cheaper price

    How much is it?  Have a look on uswitch to see comparable prices.  Talk to her current provider to see what they can do.  If not happy cancel and switch.  If moving to Virgin have a look at doing it through the cash back sites like Quidco.  I think their basic broadband is £26.50 calls will be little bit more.

    In all probability, a 10-20Mb service will be more than adequate. Shop around, and you will find something a lot cheaper that what your mum is currently paying. if she is on benefits (e.g. pension), she may qualify for a social tariff which could work out even cheaper.
    Her courage will change the world.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.
