4 meg - how much????
 
so i was looking in the metro newspaper today and apparently, according to the advert, the standard price of 4M is £16 (2M is £9 and 20M is 328). i'm paying £25 - is this a new turn of events?

I would guess that you only qualify for that price if you take Virgin Phone aswell.

yeah - it doesn't include the TV either - i've just rang retentions and got a couple of quid off a month but couldn't get any more because i was already on a deal with the TV - oh well.

4MB is only £11.50 for the first year if you also take out virgin phone (M), which means a total price of £22.50 (2mb is £4.50 (total £15.50) and 20mb is £23.50 (total £34.50) Obviously these deals are for nw customers only.

I have 4Mb BB only for £16/mth for 12mths.

I was on 2Mb but I rang CS to complain about the poor value following introduction of STM. They offered me the 4Mb deal which I took!!!

There's something going on with the prices - but it looks confusing...

http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html...al_size_l.html

"Broadband prices are for 12 months when you take Virgin Phone. Broadband Size: M (up to 2Mb) is £4.50 a month, Broadband Size L: (up to 4Mb) is £11.50 a month, Broadband Size: XL (up to 20Mb) is £23.50 a month. Standard monthly prices (currently up to 2Mb is £9, up to 4 Mb is £16, up to 20Mb is £28) apply thereafter."

Lol, there's no pleasing you guys is there? You moan about speeds here and then snap VM's hands off when they offer you a nice deal. Gawd, if they threw in Danii Minogue as part of the deal, you'd want VM to pay for her shower and underwear;)

The deal isn't only for new customers, it's also for existing broadband customers who don't yet subscribe to the phone service.

"This offer is available to new and existing Virgin Media broadband customers taking Broadband and Phone for the first time."

It makes me sick all this "only for new customers" established loyal customers get sweat FA!

I was offered a "in house deal" which is not advertised at all when my £10 6 month 2 mg deal ran out.

£ 42 for XL package,4 mg and all the rest.
I scorned it cos of all the +1,kiddie channels,radio stations etc involved.
Prices,if you read between the lines,are zooming.

You're originally paying for that "free" install you had mate, and deals run out after a year... Have to renew them, or take a new one. As for brand loyalty, it means nothing these days.
