Says its available cross platform and is the first product to do so according to our websites not the external ones.

Virgin only describe it as 'free' on adverts with the higher price. If you do pay that higher price then it is free - because there is then no extra cost.

If they did advertise the normal bundle with the netbook option - they would have to advertise it as + £10
Quite right..

By the by, anyone want a FREE car? just pay me 8x £1.000 installments for the fluffy dice, and it's yours :D

On VIP package & called today about this offer. Options were : 1. Pay extra £15/month for free netbook for 24 months or 2. Pay one off £50 up front & remain on VIP poackage with no change in prices for 24 months. As I am happy with my current deal & would be paying for VIP ( XL TV , XL BB & XL Phone) in effect I am getting a netbook for £50 so took Option 2. Netbook being delivered on 21st July. Good deal IMHO.

I'm not normally confused by these sorts of things but reading this thread has made my head hurt...

I have the VIP package...can I pay £50 and get the netbook or would I also be required to sign up for the mobile broadband dongle as well?

Apologies if this has already been answered but I TRULY am lost lol!

Re: Free Netbook from Virgin?
 
Just rang VM. I am currently on XL TV, XL BB, XL Phone and already pay £5 per month for mobile BB. Got offered the Netbook for a one off fee of £50 and £30 delivery. Told them I would not pay the £30 delivery so they knocked it down to £14.99. I then said It would be better if it was free delivery and they said ok, red netbook coming on Wednesday.

Has anyone upgraded their BB from 20meg to 50meg. What did you have to pay extra ?
Installation charges or activation costs ? How much extra a month ?

There's someone having a rant about this in the virginmedia usenet groups. the pre-approved list means you're not a credit risk.

It really is quite mad. It basically went like this:

£29 package sir? no afraid not you have a poor credit history.

£58 package sir? why yes of course, when would you like it?
He could have it if he upgraded his package, which means more money, more of a risk than the original risk.

Re: Free Netbook from Virgin?
 
Just a thought, what happens if the netbook stops working during the 24 month contract. Will VM replace it

You have a 1 year warranty with the netbook

CREDIT RISK I have been a customer for about 5 years and had about 1 problem with a bill when a dd was canceled :shocked:
