Package Help!?

[KungFuKitty]

Hi all :)

My brother in-law wants to switch back to Virgin, he's been with Sky for the last 5 or so months and had nothing but trouble.. including, which sounds just ridiculous to me, being told to open the box on his wall and mess around with the wires himself :shocked: rather than them send out an engineer which'll cost him £130 apparently! I've been down and checked his computer myself & am 100% sure it's a problem with the shoddy installation they put in aswell as the modem itself dying.

So anyway, i was wondering if he would get a 'brand new customer' deal as he's been off of Virgin for around half a year.
Trying to find the best deal for him, what he's looking for is..

Standard package TV (medium i think is lowest?)
10mb Internet Line
Talk Unlimited Phone line
Maybe a V HD box for tv depending on extra cost.

Anyone know what's the best deal he'll be able to get for those services? I know some of you work for VM and have a good idea on pricing, also would there be any form of incentive to 'switch back'?
Thanks all :tu:

Just keeps giving me "oops! something's broken" lol
So i'm guessing what i stated above isn't applicable to the 6months @ half price offer?

I think it is but you have to ring in to get the offers,as that part of their website has been taken down by the looks of it for updating.:)

Have just checked the link i posted for the six months half price offers is working for me

Try this link.

But as i said you will have to ring then to get the deals,hope this helps.

Ah, bugger, I'm getting "We've taken the site down for a little while to make some improvements." now!
Supposed to be letting him know soon over the phone what to go for, bad timing to say the least lol. If what i stated above does fall under the 6months half price offer though, wouldn't ringing in to get it kill his chance of £60 credit to bill by buying online? >.<

Yes he would not get the £60 credit unless you buy online sadly.

But at least he could get the half pice bundle for six months by the time they get the online section going the offer may be over.

i am also getting the "we've taken the site down message" could be a while before its up and running again in my expierience.! Hope you get sorted in the end,you are very good doing all this work for your brother in law hope he is grateful.;)

Consider 30Mb, the discounts should increase and it might work out not that more expensive.
