I don't believe that to be the case with Virgin.
I think they are just desperate. they send people knocking on your door way too often. and they send these letter bombs indiscriminately.
obviously someone will join up. but the majority would probably already have them, or if they wanted them they would be with them by now anyway. so the door knocker would be told yet again "not interested!"
and the mail would go in the bin.
on occasion when I do read their letter bombs. it's always a reduced price to get you to sign up. and goes back up to normal later.
why don't they try another approach of 'no catches' and up front prices for a change?
it's got to be worth a try.

Guess what the ***** did, they stopped sending mail to my house with my name on it and instead now send it addressed to the occupier instead. So what I do is wait till there is enough of it to weigh a lot and that means it will cost a lot in postage. I package the whole lot up, pop it in the post box and send it to there office in Braham Street London addressed as PAY AT DESTINATION.

I do that with Virgin.
but I put all my junk mail in the package. even the pizza ones.
