I believe Virgin can take fibre to the house and connect to an ONT built into the router.

Paul, Did VM offer you any deals to stay?

Any ide where the chat operatives are based, UK, Africa?

Happy New Year everyone.

I'm a bit late to the thread here.

I think Virgin are now fully aware of the AltNets and streamers as my contract was due to finish next month (March), I used the chat and got a crazy deal (IMHO) to stay for another 18 months.

I dont know, but there is no sign of that happening around here.

Isnt this becasue the final bit to your house is not actually fibre, thats the case here, its coax.

On Virgins new network it’s full fibre to your house but they are using a hub 5X which has a fibre input instead of coax.

Just confirms what an Odd company VM is, they must be feeling the pinch as nearly every in this area has moved to YouFibre.

Same here even before I got my last bill.... plus april 2025 .... increase of prices.
So for 150m without a deal high 60's with Youfibre in the low 30's for 1gig fibre, I dug out an old 2012 bill from when I installed the V2 ac1 modem around the time it went up to @150 <> 200m wait for it ..... 48.80. Yet in 2025 they want @67 are you serious???

Like many I've been hold off for a good while when the prices have been jumping thinking something will better will come along or offered for a even figure of money.... nothing! So go bye virgin! after over Its 21yrs as I've still have two broadband installer CD bundles from the NTL years...... for years of memories.
