Did they let you cancel line rental as well or did you not have it with VM?



I got an offer of half price Sky TV for 12 months this morning, that is half price on everything including Sports & Movies (but excludes the HD pack), 6 months free Broadband Unlimited, a free 1TB box (because I want to add Multiroom) and they are moving my existing Sky+HD box upstairs.

That is Sky World for £26.50 a month for a year! :D

I should point out that the guy at Sky told me everyone who returns to Sky will get offered slightly different things depending on their personal situation. I've only been gone since October, still have the Sky+HD box sitting under the TV and the ADSL router sitting on the shelf, so I'm easy to switch back on as it were.

He said that anyone who left within the last 12 months is treated differently to a new customer and will get an even better deal because usually no installation of extra hardware is needed.

Thank you.

As far as I'm concerned then their is no way they can stop me cancelling all services if they have allowed others to do so. :)

Do we, or do we not have the right to cancel now?

Is VIP20/30? still available? I can live with 30Mb until they get round to doubling it. (Shame about losing the HD Sports and movies though :-( )

Originally Posted by stereohaven (Post 35387895)

Couldn't agree more, in fact, if my 30MB connection was reliable and usable at all times of the day then it is unlikely I would be looking to leave already.

This quest for the greatest speed for advertising purposes has led them to lose sight of what's important IMHO. As you've said, the majority of Joe Public just want/need a reliable connection at a decent speed for a fair price and between 10 and 30MB is probably sufficient for the vast majority.

Unfortunately, sensible doesn't sell.



Again I agree and see the same dangers. Improvements may alleviate the problems I have experienced but for how long? What if I get my new 60MB connection and can't even stream YouTube which I struggle with now at certain times on 30MB?

The extra speed but lack of performance would drive me even more nuts than it does now!



If we ignore any "returning customer" offers, from the 1st April my comparable package on Sky (Entertainment Extra, Multiroom, HD Pack, Broadband and Phone Line) is now 75p a month cheaper than VM.

Of course it isn't a great deal of money difference, the Broadband is slower and I lose ESPN (which I don't really watch anyway), but I get extra calls included, some more channels in HD and most importantly, everything works as it should.

My parents have been with VM since the NYNEX days and it has always had the advantage of being cheaper than Sky for (give or take) a comparable package, until this year.

In fact they are moving soon and going to Sky as it is now better value for their needs. They don't need or want 10MB Broadband let alone 100MB for the sparse amount of web surfing they do and I'm sure they are not alone.



I guess we will soon find out if they are having trouble with churn if some very exciting news or offers starts being announced. :D

To be honest I think most people will moan about the increases and probably do nothing.



Yep, for me it's what happens next year in terms of price rises that will be more interesting because Sky will have their Fibre product bedded in properly and available much more widely. Then it will be as direct a comparison between packages/services as it's ever been.



Oh wouldn't it be dull if we all liked the same things. :)

Just been thinking about this bit again as we do know Sky's Fibre Broadband pricing, so...

VM VIP = £105.71
Sky World (with Unlimited Fibre and Multiroom) = £110.75

Hmmmm....

MrB

Thank you - I have been reading the 49 pages of posts but haven't spotted the explicit clarification (even checked Ben and DFs posts and feel like a stalker, but still didn't spot it :confused:).

The T&Cs state:



It is the either/or that is confusing - either within 30 days of being notified of the change, or within 30 days of the change actually taking effect (and if you aren't notified, within 30 days of the first bill showing the rise). So if both you could effectively cancel (30 days notice) any time between getting the letter and end April/1st May?

I was not planning to leave as I am generally happy with my services and was with my price until this rise, but am getting tempting half-price return to Sky offers and was just weighing up how long I have got to decide/take action if required.

Many thanks

MrB

Virgin themselves will know over the next 6 weeks what impact the prices increase will have. I'm sure they are already monitoring and measuring trends i.e. people cancelling SKY HD at £7 or downsizing their broadband.

I for one changed my package 2 weeks ago on the back of being informed my price increase would be £5.50. Instead I'm now about £35 to £40 per month better off.

Surely they'd rather have kept my extra £70 per month!? The price rises seem to have really backfired on them.

VM are losing your custom but when the other major pay TV provider puts prices up so might they.

1.first we get good news telling us that boardband services are to be doubled for free
2.weeks later we getting news that broadband prices are going up so whilst doubling is great all of a sudden it comes at a cost.
3.then we get get news of a increase in tv prices,Still awaiting new hd channels and other channels shutting down(maybe not vm`s fault) but really if they have finally signed some new channels would have justified the increase.
4.tivo,Hoping to get all customers on this great format.What do they do up the price?£3 should have been dropped not increased,Total suicide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Continued promises of new things aint gonna wash with everybody,i know atleast 3 of my friends who have now gone back to sky and from looking at different forums if believed many are following.
Maybe this is vm`s plan loose mass customers on the tv side,Shut it down and concentrate on broadband.If it aint whoever is in control of all the decisions at vm needs to go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's been a 19% increase in proportion of Sky customers taking Virgin TV
40% of those said they wanted TiVo

Over half of TiVo customers recommend to friends/family

TiVo customers rate product 19% higher than comparable TV customers (NPS survey)

Attracting Sky switchers – 55% of TiVo new adds were from Sky

i agree most customers 70 -80% take the 10mg bb
Im not interested in 100 -200 300mg BB 10mg is plenty for me

Virgin is investing all their money in broadband not tv most people would like to see more Channels better content more HD Channels

also the tivo £3 charge should have been scraped

Tivo,Hoping to get all customers on this great format.
What do they do up the price?£3 should have been dropped not increased,Total suicide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

42 POUNDS GOING UP TO 46 WITH PRICE INCREASE.

Does this sound like a reasonable/ good deal?

I agree with this posting

also the tivo £3 charge should have been scraped

Tivo,Hoping to get all customers on this great format.
What do they do up the price?£3 should have been dropped not increased,Total suicide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I consider the increase to £5 per month will put the full brakes on new Tivo sales, cosidering that is on top of the TV fee then VM are playing a very dangerous game.

Tivo is good but not unique enough to justify £5 extra!

Well we shall see PC but l suspect Virgin might well have several aces up their sleeves in the coming months to nullify the price increases.

Den do you not think that it would be good of them to say what was going to happen before they stated the price rise's? (They could say X amount of channels/app's are going to launch)
Rather than the price rise's and see what may come?

I will get my coat:D
