hassle the virgin.......

chimp_choker

.... we are on virgin media for everything bar the mobile. We were on the VIP package up until 2 weeks ago when we decided to cut it if we could to save some money. We did this by chopping the movies, sports and downsizing from VIP to large tv but small everything else for a cost of £62.95 a month.
Anyway, checked out Sky and a comparable package but with the sky sports and movies would only be £45 plus we would have to have a BT line at £11 a month totaling £56pcm.


So I gets onto virgin and tells them that i am thinking of moving to sky for the better package / price. Also that i didn't want to as it's owned by rupert murdoc and also the fact that they took sky one off virgin etc but I am in trouble with money so I need to sort it out. What could you ( virgin) do to keep me.

They gave me the VIP package for £53 pcm.......This saves me £10 on my cut down price but I get XL tv, xl broadband, free phone calls, virgin +box and a second standard box for upstairs and sky sports 1,2,3,4 but not the movies...... and a happy little bunny of a wife who is an anorak for football....


... go on hassle a virgin tonight.....

I phoned earlier tonight to get my package price reduced and was offered a 'loyalty discount'.

We now have:

XL broadband
Talk all the time phone package
XL TV package
V+ box
extra box in main bedroom

we're now getting that for £41 a month. I'm well chuffed. my bills this time last year were approx £130 per month (that was pre LBM though)
