New Customer Vs Existing Customers.
 
Do you feel that New Customers get a better deal than Existing Customers at VM ?

The reason I ask is because my weekly delivery of VM junk mail. Offers for new customers on the same bundle 6 HD channels, a new TiVo box and Fast and reliable broadband.

All of which I do not receive !

In any event kind regards.

And what did Virgin say when you phoned them to discuss your upgrade options?

I do not mean to be picky but the question was :

Do you feel that New Customers get a better deal than Existing Customers at VM ?

I find it help if you ring them up periodically - say once a year. I usually don't end up saving money but they tend to manage to upgrade some stuff for about the same money.

Think you are placing your own bias on the comment there

New customers get different offers than existing customers. However to complain that you aren't getting the best you could because you haven't even contacted Virgin to see what your options are isn't really a fair comparison

1. Yes I agree with you.

2. The different offers that you of the VM staff mention indicates (with a view to the above ;-)) that its now:

yes = 3 votes

no = 0 votes


Kind regards take care.

If you do not ring up and ask you will never ever know what is on offer, go on give it a try.

Again, your own bias to my post. If I had to vote it would actually be No.

Thanks

Re: New V Existing Customers.
 
Well I'm lost now.

You would vote No. (New Customers get a better deal than Existing Customers at VM ?) because existing customers can ring up and obtain a better deal.

BenMcr 14-12-2011 16:21

Re: New V Existing Customers.
 
Exactly.

db133 14-12-2011 16:25

Re: New V Existing Customers.
 
Revised vote:

yes = 2 votes

no = 1 vote

Except that's not the question you are asking

Also Virgin aren't overcharging - they are continuing to charge the agreed contract price for your services.
