Re: More price rises
 

I have a solution - they can pay! :D

I have a BT line and have been offered Infinity many times but have always decided to stay with VM. Getting on for £1000 pa is no joke though so I feel the winds of change... ;)

Oh I wish it were that simple!

Re: More price rises
 

Just signed up for Sky Q, telephone and internet. Will use the price rise as my get out but the main reason is the dire performance of the TiVo. VM accepted there was an issue and posted on their forum on 2 Sept - and no update since which I think is a bit poor.

Will (may) miss the internet speed but looking forward to the improved upload. Losing 4 months of advanced line rental but cutting back on legal advice about obscure ways to get out of the contract will soon cover that loss ;).

Cheers

Re: More price rises
 

You won't really miss the speed. I went from 150Mb to sky fibre 38 a couple of weeks ago and its still fast enough.

You'll love the speed of the Q box though.

Re: More price rises
 

Youd be mad not to go for the sky q deal, especially since virgin are letting you go due to the price increase

Re: More price rises
 

Couldn't agree more we have Sky Fibre 38mb and find it more than enough for our use , it seems to work perfect with Netflix and Amazon 4K and the Sky Q 4K content is generally available to play within seconds.

I suppose it depends on the size of your family but for our family it's more than enough and pretty good value.

My sky install date is tomorrow. Everything was going smoothly until sky rang this morning saying openreach have notified them they are cancelling the visit due to detecting a previously active line at the address and they will activate remotely. I wanted them to move my master socket as it's in a room that my wife used for her business and is not suitable to use for the hub/phone (now baby's bedroom). Bet I'm going to have to fork out for a visit myself now.

Re: More price rises
 

Surely a simple telephone extention lead would be a much cheaper option? They're widely available from places like Argos,Ebay,Amazon etc.

Re: More price rises
 

That might affect the speed of the BB.

Re: More price rises
 

Never thought of that.

Re: More price rises
 

In my area in the local paper ex BT engineers often advertise their services in the classifieds and will relocate a phone socket for £25approx dont know if thats an option where you live.

Re: More price rises
 

We have Tivo, 200mb BB (I never seem to get more than about 40mb), TV XL and Talk Unlimited now costing us around £80 pm. I also have a BT phone line which could be used for another BB supplier but what scope is there for saving some money by changing/reducing some of the above services and/or getting my BB elsewhere?

Re: More price rises
 

Why do you have a duplicate landlines?

Re: More price rises
 

Well all my sky q services are up and running. It's very impressive. Streets ahead of the TiVo. Also, even though my download speed is about 8 times slower, web browsing is noticeably quicker. Almost instant on most pages. The 4K content is better than I imagined. Be a shame to probably have to give it up in a year's time unless I can cut another deal.

It's for business.
