Morning all:
I hope you all had a great Christmas and that 2014 will bring everyone what they wished for.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Yeah, fair enough if loads of people are streaming video (especially HD), at the same time, very often. In most households, I bet that situation rarely happens.

Besides, I bet the 30Mb broadband will be upgraded at some point to a higher speed for 'free'.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Already been announced - it'll be going to 50Mbit next year www.virginmedia.com/speedupgrade

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Yeah. Alright Ben. Is this an honest offer this time, or another 'only if you're a disloyal customer' con like last time? Wait for it for 11 months, only to be told you're not entitled to it because you're on a loyalty bonus.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

That wasn't a restriction of the last set of broadband upgrades, so won't be a restriction for the next set.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I don't understand this myself? Everyone got the broadband upgrade???

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Is this a reference to the Netflix offer.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

think so. And i agree with him.

The netflix offer should be across the board for everyone.I think there are quite a few on us on this 'loyalty bonus discount'. It would have been nice to try out Netflix but it does not make economic sense to do so.

VM did some good things in 2013- that was not one of them.VM should maybe check the definition of loyalty.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

You can get Netflix free for a month irrespective of any VM offer, so I don't understand your comment.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I am on the loyalty bonus and also get 6 months free line rental and 6 months free netflix and 3 months spotify

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Nope. If you were on a loyalty bonus VM refused to double your speed. Ask Ben. He defended it as being right, as he always does. :rolleyes::o:

No. It's a reference to VM's speed doubling con. Which they seem to be trying to resurrect....

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I can assure you i was on a loyalty bonus and got my speed doubled, but mine went up to 60mb from 30mb

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Aye I'm a loyalty discount and got double speed too???

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I think he means the speed doubling "con" is the fact that it was advertised as free and resulted in price rises.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Oh it seemed he was saying he didn't get double speed upgrades as he was on a loyalty bonus?
