Virgin Deal

[saralouise]

OK, so we've been with VM coming up for 12 months and my OH decided we would go to sky if VM wouldnt give us what "we" wanted

He's just relayed back to me that we can get XL package, V+ box and a normal box for £36.50 a month (they want £49 one off fee for the box which hes trying to get struck off too)

The reason is because he works for a certain telecomms company that will give us free line rental/calls/broadband just for him being staff.

Anyway, main point is does the above seem like a good deal for the £36.50

Thanks

I pay £40 a month for XL TV, V+ Box, L Broadband and L Phone.

Sky offered me their top tv package for a year at half price wouldnt go back tho due to the sd quality of thier channels also ive been bombarded with mail and phone calls.

My contract expires this month with virgin so i will be ringing to see if i can get a better deal maybe

I would also think about customer service, I know that this is a little off topic but Virgin Media are one of the few companies the other being TalkTalk who have stood up for their customers against the likes of ACS Law. The ACS law situation has effected many inocent people and yet with the exception of the two ISPs above, all of the others have handed over their customers details.

At least Virgin Media are trying to protect their customers and at least look at other ways of dealing with the problems related to the ACS issue. As I have said a little off topic but if you are happy with Virgin Media sometimes the cheapest isn't always the best.

Dont know what planet your on mate but it is everyones duty to try to get a better deal at a reduced price. Dont you realise how overcharged we all are for such services. Virgin Sky BT etc are not doing this without mass profits.

Fight hard for a better deal. Keep up the good fight!

Absolutely - market forces....
