VIP Returns + 6 Months Free Netflix on Big Bundles

Just been on the VM website and noticed the VIP bundle is back (http://store.virginmedia.com/big-bun...indoutmore_vip) at £75 for first 12 months rising to £99 after (plus LR of course) on 18 month contract.

Also, they're offering 6 months free Netflix on all big bundles. (http://store.virginmedia.com/big-bundles.html)

Decent offers if you're thinking of joining or a good time to renegotiate if you're coming to the end of your contract / out of contract.

Our contract ends in late May so we will be looking for a better deal that's for sure.

Re: VIP Returns + 6 Months Free Netflix on Big Bundles

Is the pricing right in your first link ?

It says £42 a month plus line rental isn't the VIP £75 like you've put.

Re: VIP Returns + 6 Months Free Netflix on Big Bundles

I see the correct price on the link:

Quote:
£75 a month
for 12 months then £99 a month
+ Virgin Phone line for £17.99 a month
18 month contract
£9.99 activation fee applies.

Re: VIP Returns + 6 Months Free Netflix on Big Bundles

Ah that would explain it. Looks like the Mobile site has a different (incorrect) price to the non-mobile site. I shall let someone know about that!

Re: VIP Returns + 6 Months Free Netflix on Big Bundles

I posted the link from my tablet earlier and it worked fine but just checked on my phone and it comes up as £42 like you say mm. Guess it's an error on the mobile site as if you click on 'Get this bundle' it takes you through to ordering the Big Kahuna at £42.

Ben - you may want to flag this error with your appropriate colleagues.

Oops, you beat me to it Ben! ;-)

Re: VIP Returns + 6 Months Free Netflix on Big Bundles

Interesting. looks like they have had a bit of a reshuffle of the bundles. i'm currently on xl tv with 500gb tivo+VHD box, M phone and vivid 100. I currently pay £71pm but that is including a £6 loyalty discount so would be £77. The bundle builder has the exact same package at £73.50 before any discount so it looks like i'm being overcharged a little. Think a phone call is in order.

Pretty certain I'm out of contract soon, but will be waiting to see if a new TiVo or other replacement is on the cards before committing.

Well spotted. Which are the 'big bundles'? The Netflix link just takes you to an order page.

Vip should be top everything IMO to be a Very Imressive Package
