that they weren't new customers and have been able to get it after downgrading to broadband only.
However, you're right to wonder if there is a catch and there is. It looks like it enters you into a new 18 month broadband contract.
However, if Bristolboy22 downgrades, I believe that they will put him into a new contract anyway.
There have also been reports of Virgin messing up people's bills after doing this, nothing new there, but they will need keeping an eye on.
What's in it for Virgin? They get a guaranteed customer for 18 months and, knowing that you now get your TV through their broadband, may be less accommodating when the contract ends and you try to negotiate a fair price.
There are pros and cons to it and it will suit some but not others.

You will likely end up on a new contract, just be aware of that.

Don't you move between Sky & Virgin for TV, but always use Virgin for your broadband? If I've got that right, it might be worth your while looking into this. You won't want to lose Sky Sports (it's expensive via stream), but it might do for the bedroom or kitchen.
Actually, even though Sky Sports is expensive on here, it might still work out cheaper overall, especially if you use any streaming services because you get 10% off some of them and all services are only on a 30 day rolling contract, meaning that you could cancel it when the football isn't on. You can pause live TV, but cannot record. More info here:
